There's nothing really to say about this film except for what the makers did to it after Stallone became big with Rocky. Just doing a review on the movie itself, there's nothing. It's a cliché under budget early '70s porn flick that does nothing. However, when this movie was re-released after the premiere of Rocky it was altered to somewhat piggyback off of Rocky. They changed the title to "Italian Stallion" to reference Stallone's nickname in Rocky. They dubbed a line in the movie to make the main girl say "Someday they'll call you the Italion Stallion". Lastly, and note that I don't know if it's true so please don't quote me on this but, the song in the beginning when we first see Stallone sounds like a rip-off of "Gonna Fly Now" from Rocky. I mean seriously!? The makers were so desperate to make a profit off of Stallone's fame years after making this movie that they'll do anything to reference Rocky. I can understand re-releasing it 6 years later because they would've never known Stallone would get a big break. But all they could've done was have a few ads promoting the re-release and have a poster with Stallone's face on it and have it say "Starring Sylvester Stallone" or "Stallone's debut" or something along those lines. But by altering it even slightly to somewhat piggyback is just embarrassing. The only thing to gain from this movie is bragging rights to say to your friends "I saw Sylvester Stallone's dick." or "I saw the "legendary" Stallone porn movie." They even try to justify the changes to say it's a "milder" version. If's there's anything below mild, this movie is way down there. For it being just over an hour long, it really drags on and feels like eternity. If you decide to see it, good luck. Now to use my bragging right in saying "I saw Stallone genitals!" and "I saw Stallone's porn movie!"
