Quite a skeleton in Sly's closet, 15 August 2000
2/10
Author: Casey-52 from DVD Drive-In

ITALIAN STALLION, the video title, is one of the strangest adult films I've ever seen. I don't know if the version I saw was cut (the box said "Hard R Cable Version"), but overall, pretty unerotic.

Sylvester Stallone (the only real reason why anyone would watch this) turns in a pre-fame role as Stud, an Italian muscleman who has sex with his girlfriend Kitty and has a party at his house where lesbianism, anal sex, and orgies abound. Sly is looking pretty good here, better than he would in later years, and anyone looking for him in full nudity should be pleased here. Otherwise, there isn't much else to recommend. The only other male cast member is an unattractive no-name and none of the women are particularly memorable. There's a black stripper, a lesbian scene (overlong and boring), the 2nd man and his girlfriend have anal sex, and finally, the orgy that lasts FOREVER! This orgy scene only picks up when the camera is on Sly; otherwise, is not very erotic. Other unbelievable scenes: Sly flexes his muscles in a mirror while watching a lesbian scene, a woman flashes Sly in the park, Sly rapes Kitty after she slaps him, and the film ends with Sly slapping Kitty.

Under 60 minutes long, very cheaply done, and not very stimulating outside of Sly's scenes, ITALIAN STALLION is only recommended for those seeking out celebrity porn and no one else.

Stallone is hot!, 7 April 2005
8/10
Author: roses888

SPOILERS... A very young Sylvester Stallone is looking really fantastic here. You can really see his charm coming out during this film. His body is in very good shape,not at all "over done" like in his later years. He and the female lead in this film "Kitty" seem to really like each other.I noticed in some of the scenes, you see her catching glimpses of him when she does not think the camera is on her. You will notice they "crack up" by mistake during some of the ridiculous phrases.They seem to have a natural "chemistry".Perhaps they were a real couple at the time? This movie was filmed in the winter with Stallone running & tripping in the snow during the opening scenes, he also does some pre "Rocky" moves on a jungle gym. Some of the dialogue is either cut out or dubbed with other words added. Kitty "thinks out loud" and says some really bad quotes. Most of the scenes are pretty ridiculous: Stallone punches his hand through a window and Kitty licks off the "blood", he beats her with a belt while she moans, all the characters talking in a tiny bathroom,(what is the purpose?),Stallone flexing his muscles in a mirror while the "Rocky Theme" plays in the background,at the end is a hippie orgy party. Dancing around naked to late sixties music is big in this film, along with smoking & getting high. You can tell a lot of the scenes were just cut off. A lot of unnecessary, naked, dancing of the women is thrown in, perhaps to replace all the deleted scenes. There are no real graphic sex scenes, just a whole lot of rolling around, which at times is hard to follow. I would say this film is interesting & entertaining if you like Stallone.

Mmmmm, interesting., 26 December 2002

As a big Stallone fan, I recently bought this movie on video to add to my collection of his movies, and also of course to see what the movie was like - and Sly in the nude. :o) I certainly enjoyed watching Sly get it on, but that is of course because I fancy him. For anybody else or for somebody who doesn't fancy Sly, this movie isn't exactly great. I doubt very much that Sly would star in a porn movie ever again, which is a big shame! :o( If he starred in one nowadays I'm sure it would be 10 times better. If you're new to Stallone and his acting, I recommend Rocky as THE Sly film to watch. If you're just wanting to watch plenty of "decent porn" (as someone who doesn't fancy Sly as I've already mentioned) then do not rent out or buy this! I'm no porn movie expert, I only bought this for reasons explained above, but I'm sure there are plenty of saucier "blueys" out there for you.. Yes, you do get to see ALL of Sly. I just thought I'd mention that. :o) Also, fast forward the annoying girl at the beginning of the movie who rambles on about how this is Sly's first movie and how it may contain explicit scenes bla..bla..bla.. ENJOY! X X X

Adds to Stallone's legend as a stud, 18 October 2001
Author: janlea-2

This film became a part of his legend once "Rocky" made Stallone famous. It was talked about and became mythical in proportion. It may be low-grade filmmaking, but who cares? The point is that most don't bother to see it, they don't have to. Just knowing it exists gives fans something to chew that fat about and makes him all the more of a classic folklore figure of Americana.

Burn the negative!!!, 29 May 2002
Author: (MST3Kfan1966@aol.com) from Hartford

All right, this is an historical curiosity because it's Sylvester Stallone's first film. Aside from that, it's a Z-grade porn film celebrating misogyny, drug abuse and, of course, promiscuity. If one had to categorize the "plot", it's a character study of Kitty and Stud's relationship to each other. The director tries to elevate the film to art-house level by inserting overlong montages of Stallone's treks through Manhattan and flashes of a very warm-blooded woman wearing boots, a fur coat and a smile in a snow-covered city park. We watched most of the film on scan...and yes, there are multiple shots of Stallone's genitalia, which have proven to be the only lasting allure this film can boast.

A better comedy than "Stop! Or my mom will shoot!!!", 23 August 2001
Author: Daywalker from Germany

This film was featured in the midnight program of German cable many years ago and all I can remember that every soap advertising is more stimulating than this poor porn flick. "The Party at Kitty and Stud´s" was shot in the 70s and the whole cast looks like a total hippie-crowd! You should only watch this movie if you want to know how long Sly´s dick is or to see him having sex with unattractive women. Otherwise this film is a real rarity today, one of the sins of one´s youth the celebrities are ashamed of today. Really seldom to see, so it´s worth ONE look because of its unconscious humor and the most untypical role Stallone has ever played!!!

This is a good movie, 5 November 2009
6/10
Author: PeterRoeder from Lyngby, Denmark

I think this is a very good movie, but the second DVD in the package did not work which was sort of annoying. It is interesting to see this early Sylvester movie. He is only 23 years at the time. It is interesting to see how people behaved around 1970. I wonder if all parties were like that at the time? Anyway, one of the most funny parts of this movie is that Sylvester does not seemed turned on by the action. There are three naked women in front of him having lesbian sex and he seems bored out of his mind. Moreover, it is interesting that this movie was changed after Rocky, so that it refers to Sylvester's "destiny". This reminds me of the way Bruce Lee movies were altered without Bruce's permission.

it would be unendurable, even as a porno, if not for the big laughs to be had, 1 July 2009
3/10
Author: MisterWhiplash from United States

Definition of a Z-grade porno in America; if Porno Holocaust didn't do it for you, then neither will this. Yes, Sylvester Stallone is in it, that's really the only reason any of us have seen it save for the few true-blue perverts who just snuck in the theater in the raincoats and fake glasses and noses. It even got retitled to capitalize on Stallone's fame in the late 70s, ironic since they had to cut out a lot of the "graphic sex". Even more pointless when seeing the film unedited - there is a lot of nudity and "fake" sex. And it is so fake, good un-Godly almighty, that it makes late night Cinemax like Hotel Erotica look like the damn Bard! Wow is this some bad sex on film - one can tell the director just said "alright then, just uh, roll around, smoke some weed, camera will roll, I got to go do number two in the bathroom, it'll be a while."

And, sure, there are some moments of hilarity, and not always just because of Stallone's non-half-assed acting... such as at different times his "method" includes a training montage at the kid's playground, getting into a sexual frenzy after his girlfriend Kitty bites his you-know-what and, yes, she gets aroused by him *whipping her with a belt, or Stud's random moments of pre-Rambo "AAH!" anger that at one point gives him a bloody hand which Kitty licks of greedily like a vampire with down syndrome (note, this is not offense to down syndrome sufferers, only vampires). No, what makes Italian Stallion such an ultimate waste of time is that for all of its glorious pockets of celluloid that provide for the right and drunken viewer-ship some of the most potent MST3K possibilities around, there's so much tedium of relentless writhing around naked and dancing for FIVE MINUTES STRAIGHT to super-bad 70s music.

It gets by as a horrendous guilty pleasure for about 60% of the time. The rest of it is so bad a porno that it may be justified that it's been off the market until recently. No matter what the temptation out of curiosity, or the minuscule rewards, some shards from the time capsule of a career like Stallone's should stay put in its (however shallow) grave; in extremely small doses its some fun, and all at one it's like getting the brown acid at Woodstock.

This is not much of a X-rated film., 5 December 1999
Author: William (williamnorton316@hotmail.com) from Seattle, Washington

Looking at this film today, it's got lot less stuff in it, compare to any late night cable film. The film (ITALIAN STALLION) version seems to be cut (Playboy channel print ran 3 minutes short also, compare to the video print), as the filmmaker tacks in a ROCKY-like theme throught the film. Stallone plays stud, a guy Kitty loves as they throw a party with a bunch of drugged out losers. One guy (who resembles New York character actor Anthony Holland, could it be him?) gets stoned a says a joke about a horse, but the punchline was cut out for some reason. Stallone keep seeing this chick naked out in the New York park, also doesn't make sense. The ending is confusing as they all dance in circles. Stallone should've paid the producers of this film off to get this terrible film removed. I would like to see the original version of this film, for it would've been more interesting to see what they cut out. Not recommended.

Wow.........., 21 December 2004
1/10
Author: zeeboe82 from United States

I am 22-years old and when I was a little boy, I had four heroes: Hulk Hogan, Bruce Lee, Magic Johnson and last but not least Sylvester Stallone.

I consider all four of these men larger then life and since I didn't have a lot of male role models in my youth, I viewed all four of them as Father figures and tried to learn from all of them and have the same kinds of morals these gentlemen....characters or not....had.

Well, apart of my inner-child innocence I proudly have was beaten today after I saw Italian Stallion. LOL. I couldn't even finish watching it. It literally disturbed me.

Now don't get the wrong idea. I am no wimpy sissy boy and I love a good porn as much as the next guy but watching a man who I viewed as a Father in a porno was literally like walking in on your parents making love. *gag* So fellas, if you....just like me....loved Rocky Balboa as a kid and always inspired to be like Rocky and always have and always will have a lot of love for that dumb, but very lovable Italian lug who told cheesy jokes, loved kids and animals, accepted the hand he was dealt in life, was a good Christian family man, treated his wife like a Queen and remained loyal to Paulie and always took care of him despite how mean Paulie could be and never lost his cool and hit the guy and was nice to pretty much everyone.....

....and you always want to view him in that light....DO NOT watch Italian Stallion! Forget curiosity! It's not worth it!
