"Engagement Ring Repo" is for sale again on Rolen. How does it stand up against another classic?
1. The actresses
Four all-stars: Dia Zerva, Christina Carter, Tanya Danielle, Christine Dupree. Both blonde vs brunette. But ERR gets the nod, because videos with Dia are so gosh darn hard to find.
ERR: 1.0, DB 0.0
2. The characters
Dia vs her man's recent ex. And willing to act as his repo collector--sexy AF. What man wouldn't love to have a girl willing to do that?
ERR: 2.0, DB 0.0
3. The premise
DB's premise is borrowed, in a good way, from Two Days in the Valley's Theron/ Hatcher catfight. But the twist on the love triangle (is Dia the [never shown] man's lover, or just his wingwoman? and which is sexier?) is unique.
ERR 3.0, DB 0.0
4. The fight(s)
Both films' fights go 2+ rounds. But DB shows more variety--several settings, even an outdoor (balcony) one.
ERR 3.0, DB 1.0
5. The violence
Christina Carter and (especially) Dia are very intense from wire to wire, out to mess each other up.
ERR 4.0, DB 1.0
6. Intangibles
Could used a prologue/epilogue backstory on Dia's relationship with the spurned fiance, even for 60 seconds.
ERR 4.0, DB 2.0
Conclusion: Good to see Dia back in the game, even if in just a re-release. She seems to enjoy fighting in a slightly different way than her peers do. Plus, who's not a suckered for a smart blonde?
