SPOILERS... A very young Sylvester Stallone is looking really fantastic here. You can really see his charm coming out during this film. His body is in very good shape,not at all "over done" like in his later years. He and the female lead in this film "Kitty" seem to really like each other.I noticed in some of the scenes, you see her catching glimpses of him when she does not think the camera is on her. You will notice they "crack up" by mistake during some of the ridiculous phrases.They seem to have a natural "chemistry".Perhaps they were a real couple at the time? This movie was filmed in the winter with Stallone running & tripping in the snow during the opening scenes, he also does some pre "Rocky" moves on a jungle gym. Some of the dialogue is either cut out or dubbed with other words added. Kitty "thinks out loud" and says some really bad quotes. Most of the scenes are pretty ridiculous: Stallone punches his hand through a window and Kitty licks off the "blood", he beats her with a belt while she moans, all the characters talking in a tiny bathroom,(what is the purpose?),Stallone flexing his muscles in a mirror while the "Rocky Theme" plays in the background,at the end is a hippie orgy party. Dancing around naked to late sixties music is big in this film, along with smoking & getting high. You can tell a lot of the scenes were just cut off. A lot of unnecessary, naked, dancing of the women is thrown in, perhaps to replace all the deleted scenes. There are no real graphic sex scenes, just a whole lot of rolling around, which at times is hard to follow. The editing is horrible in this movie. I would say this film is interesting & entertaining if you like Stallone, and if you want to peak your curiosity.
