"Italian Stallion" 1978 ad

[sandoz-iscariot.livejournal.com]

The trailer for The Italian Stallion, a 1978 re-release of Party at Kitty and Stud's, a softcore porn film that's famous for being Sylvester Stallone's first starring role. As the new title indicates, this was a quick cash in on Stallone's huge success with Rocky, and the ad even rips off the Rocky theme. The ad is introduced by female porn director Gail Palmer, and interestingly, it suggests that the movie was being marketed towards women.

The preview itself is surprisingly G-rated, though it's under a cut for safety's sake.

I remember reading about this. I believe The Italian Stallion is so heavily edited, there isn't even any Stallone nudity or sex scenes left. Party at Kitty and Stud's is almost impossible to find. Once Stallone hit it big, his people did their best to destroy all copies and they played a huge part in making sure the sex scenes with him were gone.

That being said, man. Sly was pretty hot back in the day.

I hope this wasn't the pinnacle of her directing resume'. "Okay, now run through the snowy playground and fall down a lot!" And what the hell is that black stuff on the left every time they cut back to the girl when Stallone's in the car? In his shots, the car does not appear to be lined in matted fake fur.

I never realized how much Stallone could look like Elvis.

She reads cue cards beautifully.
