Back in the ’70s, Sylvester Stallone didn’t kick off his career with the iconic “Rocky” as many might think.

Instead, his first foray into movies was quite a shocker – a softcore porno film.

Quite the unexpected start, huh?

According to LADbible, at the age of 24, Stallone took on a role in a low-budget flick titled “The Party at Kitty and Stud’s.”

In this movie, he portrayed the character Stud, who heads to Kitty’s place, played by Henrietta Holm, for a night of mischief.

The film’s synopsis delves into the intimate details, mentioning their active s** life involving various acts like fellatio and a bit of light S&M, notably with Stud using a belt on Kitty.

Additionally, the storyline includes three additional female guests who engage in some steamy encounters with Stud consecutively.

Yes, that’s pretty much the gist of it.

Don’t expect an epic saga akin to “Lord of the Rings.”

Although, who knows, maybe there exists a fantasy-themed adult film out there somewhere.

Best not to delve into that realm, lest your perception of hobbits forever alters.

Originally intended as an X-rated feature, the film underwent significant editing over time.

To ride on Sylvester Stallone’s rising fame post his debut in “Rocky,” the movie was later reissued and rebranded as “The Italian Stallion.”

How did Stallone find himself in this peculiar project, you may wonder?

In a 1978 interview with Playboy magazine, the actor revealed that he was homeless and seeking refuge in a bus station during that period.

Stallone expressed that it was a matter of survival, a choice between dire circumstances and resorting to criminal activities due to being at his wit’s end.

Despite the unconventional nature of the role, Stallone managed to earn $200 after two days of work, which ultimately helped him move on from his challenging situation.

Sometimes, life unfolds in mysterious ways, and in Stallone’s case, this seemingly rocky start paved the way for a successful career in the film industry.
