In 1970, before he was Rocky, before he was Rambo, Sylvester Stallone made an adult movie called The Party at Kitty and Studยs. He got paid about $200 for the whole shebang (pun intended). The Party at Kitty and Studยs didnยt really make waves at first. It wasnยt until 1978 when, capitalizing on the success of the Rocky movies (and plenty of peopleยs fantasies), the soft-core gem was re-released as The Italian Stallion.
Stallion has the features of a good meatball sub ย hot meat in the form of a full frontal young Stallone and plenty of cheese, with lines like Kittyยs ยIยll be -velvet-mouthed on your shank of loveย (weยre not even touching the spicy sauce). Find the salami at 11:55 p.m. today and tomorrow. River Oaks Theatre, 2009 West Gray. For information, call 713-866-8881 or visit www.landmarktheatres.com. $8.25 adult admission; $6 seniors. (Senior prices for skin flicks? Man, I canยt wait to get old!)
