innocuous77: I seem to remember one example... in the 70s, Sly Stallone did porn. Later, he did Rambo. I seem to remember an early vid game of Rambo that referenced the Italian Stallion.
But I'm old... I don't remember. And none of those references were my thing.
CarrionCrow: Well, that sounds to me like them wanting to use a Rocky reference. But I'm old... I don't remember. And none of those references were my thing.
It pains me that I know this, but the porn you mentioned was called A Party at Kitty and Stud's originally.
From what I remember, they went back and renamed that Italian Stallion since he wasn't famous originally but was known for Rocky later on, so they wanted to capitalize on it.
Part of my job was to clean the tapes. That included the ewwww but also splicing tapes. Splicing meant I had to watch it over and over and over again until I spiced the right frame.
Like I said, pron wasn't my thing (burned out), Sly wasn't my thing (too hairy), and Rocky wasn't my thing (too boxing).
