Sylvester Stallone Porn Film Sold On Ebay
Someone with a half million dollars to throw away spent the dough on securing the rights to a porn flick that Sylvester Stallone did while he was in his prime.
The movie is from 1970, is titled, “The Party At Kitty And Stud’s”, but was later renamed to “Italian Stallion”. I wonder where they got that from?!?? (Ha!) After he reached mainstream success, the producers of the movie renamed it to go along with his career as Rocky Balboa. He said that he needed the money, basically because he was starving at the time.
The company put the movie up for auction on eBay on November 10th and sold it for a cool $412,100. Reportedly, Sly was paid $200 for two days of work for the movie.
The buyer gets the original 35mm negatives as well as worldwide rights to the film. “Italian Stallion” has gained cult status over the years as hardcore material has been added. Stallone told “Playboy” in a 1978 interview that he was paid $200 for two days of work, and that after “Rocky” came out, the people behind “Kitty and Stud’s” tried to sell the erotic film to him for $100,000. “Italian Stallion” was released theatrically in 1976, then again in 2007.
“The negatives were actually lost for a while,” says Edward Parry, president of Bryanston. Perry says MGM tried to buy the film in 2009, but the deal fell through, and he sees this as a prime time to sell the rights: “Who would’ve thought that at 64 he (Stallone) would be at the top of his game?” Parry says.
You can view the auction here. Would you have ponied up the cash for the rights to the movie?
