"Italian Stallion" 1978 ad

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.

Okay, here is what I found (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_at_Kitty_and_Stud%27s). I guess the original movie was not all that hardcore to begin with.

I don't see anything about him being compensated other than the fact that he got $200 for doing the role in the first place. Keep in mind I'm going on three hours of sleep and only two cups of coffee though lol :x

I guess he or his management were worried that it would cause him not to get good roles in Hollywood or ruin his blooming career. Kind of funny when you compare it to nowadays, when most stars GET famous because of a sex tape!
