Sylvester Stallone: Party At Kitty And Stud's (The Italian Stallion)

Sylvester Stallone filmed Party at Kitty and Stud’s in 1970, after being kicked out of his apartment and finding himself homeless for several days. He was paid $200 for basically walking around naked for two days, and occasionally slapping a woman with a belt. The movie is, well, exactly what you’d imagine a 1970s porn to look like, and clearly done before the porn industry realized that having dialogue in porn is like having a spoiler on your car — no matter how fancy it is, it’s not helping you get to your destination any faster. There is barely any semblance of a plot - in fact, the Internet porn you hastily skip through in the bathroom stall at work would make more sense. At one point, a giant mastiff appears, but quickly disappears, and no one will ever know what happened when a giant dog and naked Sly shared a stage together. In 1976, the film was re-released as The Italian Stallion in an attempt to bank off of Rocky’s immense popularity, but that’s not where the film company drew the line on milking Stallone’s fame for all it was worth — they re-released a “hardcore” version, but the AVN deemed the scenes were deceitful inserts. In other words, someone stared at someone else’s penis long enough to realize it wasn’t Sylvester Stallone’s. It ain’t my bum, Mick. It ain’t my bum.
