YOUR OPPINION.
A question asked by fans here in the UK relates to the work of Leather and Lace.Many fans have seen clips which at best are pathetic and others which would appear quite creditable.This in particular applies to boxing,these couple of clips tend to suggest the girls were capable of putting on a good show,but with such a variation in standards fans in the UK are put off buying.
Allow a Yank an observation:
ReplyDeleteInevitably, the level of quality in videos such as these will be all over the place because they are produced at the behest of people who pay to have them made and filmed by directors and cameramen who know little of real boxing. Occasionally, the two women involved will try to do a good job, but most of these actresses have no training, and limitations on budget almost always insure presence of significant flaws. L&L is noted for almost never having proper seconds (those cost money) and for adding "stupid pet tricks" such as leaving the ring stools in the ring during rounds, for the boxers to trip over, stationing the referee outside the ring, using a woman for a referee, and dressing her like a floozy. Regina Halmich and Elena Reid couldn't overcome the deficiencies of that!
But, believe it or not, I've seen worse. Double Trouble has a couple of relatively new boxing videos out in which one "fighter" (I guess one calls her that) never throws a single punch in the entire fight! One of these efforts actually went on for almost 24 minutes!
No one will buy such junk, and no one should, but they were made per a script commissioned by someone with a fetish who has a turd for a brain, and so they become part of the repertoire.
Oh, for the days of the LGIS and women who can mix sparring and acting to create a realistic show. They were the original and best, and everything since has been pretty much downhill. DWW was an exception, but the problem there is that the girls really fight, and that adds an element of danger which prevents satisfactory endings. It seems that every new company which tries this has to spend an inordinate amount of filming effort reinventing the wheel. The result is perpetual repitition of the same old mistakes.
