Hi SketchArtiste
First allow us to explain better what we told you before, and then we’ll respond directly to your question.
We reinforce that our movies from the
COMPETITIVE category are the only ones that are 100% competitive, nothing staged, scripted, pre-arranged or embellished.
We have no less than
84 COMPETITIVE movies currently available, featuring some of the best fighters from all over the world.
For us the target for this type of movies is very clear: customers who treasure competitiveness above anything else. Most don’t even care of the fighters are attractive or not: what they really care is the sheer competition.
Our experience of almost 15 years in this business clearly shows that not all customers like that type of movies. In fact nowadays most customers prefer other type of movies that are focused on very specific tastes normally associated with one specific hold.
Therefore, for those customers, we have another line of movies that we call the
THEMATIC category that is subdivided in 11 sub-categories:
2 VS. 1 ,
CATFIGHTS,
DOMINATION,
FACE-SITTING,
FEET ,
GRAPEVINES,
HEADSCISSORS,
SCHOOLGIRL PINS,
SEMI-COMPETITIVE,
SMOTHERS and
STRANGLES.
The degree of realism in matches from these 11 sub-categories depends on many factors, the most important being the type of match itself (obviously a
FEET movie can’t have the same degree of realism of a
HEADSCISSORS movie) and, most of all, the fighters involved.
As you certainly understand, there are fighters who possess a much higher degree of fighting skills than acting skills and there are fighters on which what happens is exactly the opposite.
What we always try to do is to put each fighter in her comfort zone, in order to get the very best that she can give. That is the reason why you never see certain fighters doing
84 COMPETITIVE movies, for instance. They are simply not the right fighters to do it.
Now let’s go directly to your question:
CATFIGHTS is one of the 11 sub-categories of
THEMATIC category so no, the action of those movies is not 100% real as it is on
84 COMPETITIVE movies …simply because that is not what our customers want to see in our
CATFIGHTS.
THEMATIC movies require from the fighters an ability to combine fighting skills with acting skills, so embellishing the holds is part of the game.
We don’t know if you’re a tennis fan but if you are you’ll easily understand this analogy:
There are official tournaments in tennis and there are exhibition tournaments. Some tennis fans have more fun in an exhibition tournament than in an official tournament exactly because they get to see a type of tennis that is impossible to see in an official tournament.
It’s more or less what happens with our
84 COMPETITIVE movies and with our
251 THEMATIC movies.
In short: we as producers have to do a wide variety of matches, to cover the wide variety of tastes from our wide variety of customers. It’s up to our dear customers to pick the type of matches that they like, and leave the others for other customers, with different tastes.
One thing is very important for us: we at APL want that each and every one of our customers to be sure before buying any of our movies. That is why we give them a lot of info about each movie, so that they can make an educated decision. We present 9 pics of each movie, a long FREE PREVIEW and a movie description that is as accurate as our English allows us to do.
Our best tip is: if what you see on the pics, the FREE PREVIEW and the description pleases you, go for that movie. If you have doubts, skip it and look for another one.
In this moment we have no less than
335 movies available, featuring
95 fighters from all over the world so we are sure that most fans can find at least 1 or 2 movies that fit into their specific tastes.
Due to this huge amount of movies available, we created an
advanced SEARCH function that allows our dear customers to save a lot of time while looking for what they like.
We hope that we were able to clarify your doubts, but if not please feel free to get back to us and we'll do our best to explain better.
Best regards,
APL staff
