In a prologue included with the reissued version, and in the film's trailer, pornography director Gail Palmer sat by an editing machine addressing the audience and presented the film as X-rated. The film was then rereleased in theaters under the new title The Italian Stallion. Stallone has stated that after Rocky became a hit, the owners of The Party at Kitty and Stud's offered to sell him the rights to the film for about US$100,000 in order to prevent its re-release, but the actor "wouldn't buy it for two bucks". Release Theatrical Īlthough some sources, including Stallone himself, have stated that The Party at Kitty and Stud's was never released until after his success in Rocky (1976), contemporary newspaper advertisements indicate that the film was screened in adult cinemas in at least four U.S. The actor also called the film "horrendous" and commented "By today's standards, the movie would almost qualify for a PG rating". Instead of doing something desperate, I worked two days for $200 and got myself out of the bus station".
In Stallone's words: "It was either do that movie or rob someone because I was at the end-at the very end-of my rope. Janet Banzet as Girl in Park (uncredited)Īccording to Stallone, the film was financed by "a group of wealthy lawyers, very, very solid." The actor said in a 1978 Playboy interview that he had done the film out of desperation after being bounced out of his apartment and finding himself homeless for several days, sleeping in a New York City bus station in the middle of winter.
