Las Vegas— Arrow Productions sister company Bryanston Distributors is
re-releasing Sylvester Stallone’s first movie, a soft core turned
hardcore adult title called “Italian Stallion,” in 25 venues across
the U.S. in association with Landmark Theaters.
“Italian Stallion” originally titled “The Party at Kitty and Stud’s”
also starred Henrietta Holm. The producer of the 1970 film
changed the name to “Italian Stallion” and original hardcore
scenes were added for the new title. Aided by the hardcore
scenes, the new name and a release just a few months
before Sylvester Stallone’s mega-hit Rocky in 1977, the film soared in
popularity.
New prints have been struck from the recently discovered inter negatives which had gone missing almost 30 years ago.
“Stallone sure goes the distance in the bedroom. I guess he really
wanted the ‘Rocky’ movie to be made so bad that he made his bones in
this one for $200,” Marketing Director for Arrow Productions Robert
Interlandi claims. “He even wore similar ‘Rocky’ outfits in this
movie.”
The movie debuts in New York on Sept. 14. at the Landmark Sunshine
Theatre. A full schedule will be released shortly.
Bryanston Distributors, sister to Arrow Productions, has released
both adult and mainstream titles such as “Deep Throat,” “Devil in Miss
Jones” , “Return of the Dragon”, and “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.”
Bryanston’s new action adventure film “Ultimate Force” will appear in
video stores Oct. 9. “Italian Stallion” is available on DVD now.
