Cal Supreme (California Supreme) was a female/mixed wrestling and boxing video production company founded in Tarzana, California USA by Ron Dvorkin. It was in operation for decades, producing hundreds of different bouts of all kinds, but seemingly ceased production sometime in the early 2000's. The company's own website has been taken down but the L Scott network has a site that sells a range of old CS products, which it occasionally adds to.
Astrogalo (FemFighting blog) supplied the following description of the company -
"Ron Dvorkin, the founder, was a pioneer establishing one of the first US outlets specialized in women combat after observing what Germany was doing at the time. He was an ophthalmologist, had money to invest and decided to produce films to please his taste. With California Supreme (and Bellstone, its more raunchy satellite), a fighting style of semi-competitive bouts with topless and nude women was created that is still in place.
Ron attracted dozen of women with athletic skills and basically mentored them in the trade. They include some of the iconic names in female wrestling : the splendid Lisa-Marie, the ill-tempered Swedish Tina, the businesswoman Robin, the voluptuous Shelly, the aggressive Raven, the large Kristie Etzold, and the muscular Christine Dupree. What a cast!"
Ron usually added commentary/coaching from behind the camera, not all of which was welcome or helpful, and sometimes tried to have a Q&A session mid-bout with boxers as they rested between rounds. Robin especially was less than impressed by this and treated Ron to a disdainful, icy glare as she blanked him. He also appeared in person in a couple of mixed boxing bouts.
