'Rambo' star Sylvester Stallone started his acting career with a very unusual soft-porn film and the actor himself never feels very proud about his debut. In 1970, when the actor was in dire need for cash, he acted in a movie named 'The Party at Kitty and Stud’s'.

Following his appearance in this film, the young Stallone got opportunity to work in many other films of similar genre, but he refused. He became a superstar after 'Rocky' in 1976. Soon afterwards, the film was renamed as ‘The Italian Stallion’ and re-released.

Now, after so many years, the soft-porn movie is resurfacing yet again. It was auctioned on eBay by Bryanston Distributors, who made the film.

The erotic movie had earned the original makers around 270,000 pounds.

In 1978, when Stallone became a superstar after 'Rocky', he said in an interview to ‘Playboy’ that he was paid $200 for two days work in 'The Italian Stallion' and the makers wanted to sell him the film for $100,000 after he became famous.
