Sylvester Stallone's debut role was in a 70's softcore porno

Hollywood icon Sylvester Stallone’s movie debut wasn’t in the legendary Rocky from 1976 but instead was in a softcore porno. Yikes!

As reported by LADbible, Stallone, then 24 years old, starred in a low-budget, softcore porno called The Party at Kitty and Stud’s. The movie followed the story of Stud (Stallone) going to a party at Kitty's (Henrietta Holm) house for some shenanigans.

“They enjoy a robust sex life, which includes fellatio and light S&M, specifically, Stud belt-whipping Kitty,” reads its synopsis. "Three women come over for a party and Stud services them, one after the other.”

Yes, that’s the extent of its story. What were you expecting, a Lord of the Rings-inspired mythology? Well, I suppose there probably is a Lord of the Rings-inspired por….no, scratch that. Do not Google search that topic, otherwise, you may never look at a Hobbit the same way again.

It is believed that Sly’s softcore outing originally began life as an X-rated movie, before being heavily edited over the years. What’s more, to no doubt capitalise on the fame of Sylvester Stallone and his debut Rocky movie, The Party at Kitty and Stud’s was re-released and rebranded as The Italian Stallion.

So how did Stallone wind up in the softcore movie? According to an interview with Playboy magazine in 1978, the popular actor was homeless, sleeping in a bus station at the time. For Sly, it was a matter of survival or “rob someone because I was at the end – at the very end – of my rope,” he said.

Stallone said that he had worked for two days for $200 and while not the most savoury of roles, it helped him get out of that bus station. I always believe that things happen for a reason and it’s fair to say that it all worked out well for Sylvester Stallone in the end.
