Stars in Rewind: The X-Rated Sylvester Stallone
Filed under: Trailers and Clips, Stars in Rewind
In honor of the Rambo site going live, I thought we could jump back into Sylvester Stallone's first role. Before he beat people up as Rocky and Rambo, showed his behind in Tango & Cash, or took part in a Death Race, he had some X-rated fun. The year was 1970, and Stallone had scored himself not only his first acting gig, but his first starring role as "Stud" in Italian Stallion, sometimes known as The Party at Kitty and Stud's. It was a role that took him two days, and it earned him a sweet $200 paycheck.
Have no fear, neither scene that I'm sharing is NSFW. Both clips contain scenes from the movie, but nothing raunchy, aside from some wild, living room dancing (clothed). In the above clip, adult filmmaker Gail Palmer introduces the film in a long, 3-minute trailer. Included are scenes of Sly, or rather, the Italian Stallion frolicking in the snow and falling around, I presume before he got the coordination that made him an unstoppable action hero. The trailer-makers were also nice enough to include a quote from Stallone in Playboy, where he says he took on this work because he was starving. As an added bonus, below there's a brief clip from the movie, where Stud talks about moving to California. So, when you set out to see Rambo, remember that the on-screen toughness has a little Stud behind it.

I'm sorry, did you guys get bought out by TMZ or some other shoddy 'laugh at people' soul crushing organization? Yes we know Stallone did a porn in the 70's and in a righteous country like Saudi Arabia he would have been properly stoned to death. Here you get stoned by snarky writers and critics who like to feel somehow morally superior to others. The same writers and critics who loved him and thought he was a genius when he did the independently produced and starred in Rocky movie and if he would have died in a car accident after that he'd have been forever emblazened on tee-shirts and posters by all the hip kids. Instead, he hooked up with the money guys and made money and created a number of franchise characters and was thereafter forever despised by the cool people.
