The Italian Stallion [DVD]

I hate it 😆But the dvd was in wonderful shape. No scratches or anything. Just a really weird "movie".

The quality of the film is scratchy, bad editing, and you see Sylvester Stallone's penis for only one second (literally). I really wasted my money.

cool movie but not for anyone under age of 21 years stallone first b movie

It sucked.

This movie is, well lets jst say WHAT A WASTE OF MONEY!!!

...at least it only took an hour out of my life

A little history & trivia behind this strange film:IMDB lists this as Sly's first movie (1970), which really isn't accurate. The official title is: The Party at Kitty and Stud's. In a Playboy interview after the success of Rocky, Stallone told the interviewer that the film paid $200, & it took 2 days to shoot. He was a nobody at the time, and he was starving and really needed the money. In fact, in the movie, he looks rather emaciated.This film project actually started out as a different (soft-porn) movie all together, with Sly as just another supporting actor (not the lead). Then, almost 8 years later, after the success of Rocky, the studio thought they had struck gold. They dug up all the scrap reels that had Stallone in it, re-edited the film, and re-released it (to porn houses).So the release date (1970) is a misnomer. Yes, the scenes were *shot* in 1970 (Stallone was 24 at the time), but movie was not put together and released until 1978.After the success of Rocky, it was actually a surprise to Stallone to learn this movie even existed. He obviously remembered shooting it, but he had no idea he was the "star"! He must have thought it would just be some small uncredited role he did years ago, never actually saw the final product, and must have been shocked to see his name on movie posters at XXX houses.As you can guess, it's problematic trying to make a movie from scraps of a different movie. Sly had almost no speaking roles, was not in any great sex scenes, and there was not enough footage to put a plot together successfully.Stallone's character wasn't even important enough to have a name! So the editors had to do a voice-over, proclaiming that his name was "Stud".The film is widely available online (for free). Sure it sounds titillating, but it's really quite boring & not worth watching. It was short (about 66 minutes), and I had a very difficult time sitting through more than a few minutes of it.For example, the first 3-4 minutes are Stallone running through a snowy field (fully clothed), jumping on park benches & swinging from monkey bars to some Rocky-style music. It made no sense, & didn't add anything to the plot. The Rocky music was obviously part of the re-edit.If you're curious, I suggest googling it, you'll find the movie (or some clips) and watch what you want online. I guarantee, most of you will not need to see more than 5 minutes of this (thus, no point in buying/owning it). If you're just looking for a "full" view of Stallone and the rest of the cast, just skip to the last 5 minutes.There was no actual intercourse between Stud & Kitty (or the other women), as far as I could tell. There were certainly many sex scenes, with lots of pseudo-intercourse, but no close-up shots and the body parts were just too far apart actually to make contact. Most of the film can be characterized as frontal nudity, with only a few brief shots of a nude Sly. (For example, in the fellatio scene with Sly, he kept his shirt on & back to the camera - not even certain the fellatio was real)Also, people who have seen this have noted that Stallone appears to be, well, lacking a little bit in size. I would point out several things. Sly was completely flaccid through the entire film. Not a single full erection (neither of the 2 male actors), so "size" would be difficult to determine by watching this film. In fact, none of the actors really seemed "excited" to be there. I have no idea how these films work, but it seems like being on camera for 2 straight days (20 hours of shooting), with lights, cameras, & people all around, it might be difficult to get (or stay) aroused. Also, this was one of his first "acting" experiences (I'm sure there was anxiety). And the temperature may have been a factor (this was shot in the winter of 1970, in New York).Finally, keep in mind, the director probably didn't pay too much attention to Stallone (an "extra") - they just wanted a young, fit guy as "window dressing" in the background. They did not intend for him to be the star, or the film's focus.There was a sequence that was strange, funny, & disturbing. The sequence Stud cuts his hand, and Kitty erotically licks off the blood. Then they move to the bathroom to finish cleaning the wound, where Kitty offers follatio to Stud, who warns her not to bite (foreshadowing...the true sign of a great script). Kitty responds with the only funny line in the movie, really: "I'll be velvet-mouthed on your shank of love!"During that awkward scene, Kitty ends up biting Stud's shank of love, & he proceeds to whip her with a belt for 3-4 minutes. Maybe this kind of violence in porn is normal, but I just found it awkward & disturbing.The over-arching "plot" (if you can call it that), is that Stud & Kitty want to spice things up, so they decide to host a party which turns into a "light" orgy. In reality, though, it was more of a "dog pile", with 4 women and 2 men, mostly gyrating and touching themselves. It was far from sexy. Afterward, the group held hands and spun in a circle for 4-5 minutes (most of the shots were above-the-waist). As the grand finale, the camera got in the middle of the dancing circle, and we get a 3-4 second close-up shot of everyone's genitals as they spun around.Overall, the video quality is poor, much of the film is out of focus, & there is almost no dialog in the film (mostly dancing & gyrating, in front of mirrors, etc). Maybe this would make a nice gag gift for somebody, but seriously, unless you just need to own every Stallone movie ever made, I just don't see the point in owning this. But now you have some movie trivia for your next dinner party! LOL

The Italian Stallion(1976, also known as The Party at Kitty and Stud's) is a really bad movie. All My Children and Mexican soap operas are sexier than this film! Sylvester Stallone gave us Rocky(1976) and First Blood(1982), so he's redeemed himself, more or less. There's no hardcore sex scenes in the film, but there's a lot of unappealing frontal nudity! Some prints of this film are called "Bocky"! There's a theatrical trailer with filmmaker Gail Palmer telling us about the film. Parts of this film have good camera work. We get to see Stallone doing Rocky stuff on a playground. This film is a nostalgic, Z grade turkey.

Very pleased with my purchase. Couldn't find this film anywhere!

L am aware this as sexual contents ,but thought it may have a story! wrong,no wonder stallone tries to distant himself , this is basically an amatureish soft porn film, bits of it are hillarious, if anyone finds this remotely erotic or entertaining l,d be worried!this is going in bin with rest rubbish,

What a laugh! An absolute gem.

Absolute load of rubbish. I knew that it wasn't meant to be a very good film but I was expecting some sex. This could have been shown on prime time TV. The original had actual sex, this was a very toned down, cut version. Not worth the money

Great. Quick delivery
