Holiday Movie Junk: Rocky Balboa's Robe
Filed under: Holiday Movie Junk »

We're getting down to the wire when it comes to holiday shopping -- and there is surely a man on your list who is impossible to shop for, one who's allergic to sweaters, never needs ties, and doesn't play golf or fish. You should buy that man a Rocky Balboa robe. I don't think very many men would sneer at a Rocky robe, even if they aren't collectors. This isn't just a goofy prop, this is useful clothing! He'll feel really macho as he wears it around the house, he'll look respectable when he goes out to get the Sunday paper, and have a very clever Halloween costume in a pinch. Hey, it might even inspire him to take up a new fitness regimen!
You can get this at the Official MGM Store, where it just happens to be on sale -- I suggest you use the extra money to buy the red, white, and blue boxer shorts as a solemn reminder that we all can change ... or at least so he can amuse himself shadow-boxing Ivan Drago.

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.
