The thing with Stallone is that the average person lumps him in with Arnie, Van Damme etc as an action star who can't act but the truth is that Stallone is a fucking brilliant actor. There's not many performances better than the first Rocky film, the monologue in First Blood, Rocky Balboa, and even in Creed. With the right material he knocks it out the park. Fantastic comedic timing too as shown in Demolition Man.

Remember watching Copland when I was young and Had heard Stallone was good in it, but expected a low level of good, really pulled his own weight. Creed most recently, I genuinely didn't think he was making it through that movie, he was superb

One of those existential questions here, was Sly really in a porno film before he was famous? I've heard that story a few times, but anyone actually seen evidence of his banger and mash on celluloid?

It's not really a porno, just a sexploitation film. I do think that there's a later version with hardcore inserts (name change from "Party at Kitty and Stud's" to "The Italian Stallion") so maybe there's glimpses of sone fake Stallone sausage in there.

 

Edit - just looked it up. Wasn't edited into hardcore, but the distributor pretended it had footage cut out.

Going the Distance.

This is a great documentary about Rocky. If you have 90 minutes free it's a must watch. Covers Rocky - Rocky Balboa with all very relavent talking heads. The casting of Carl Wethers is covered, he sounds like he is Apollo Creed in real life.
