Trivia

In a prologue included with the released version (and in the film's trailer), pornography director Gail Palmer sat by an editing machine addressing the audience and presented the film as X-rated. The release campaign implied that the original film was hardcore pornography, but that the material had now been edited into a milder version. However, the existence of the X-rated material has been repeatedly challenged, notably by trade journal AVN, which examined an original print, finding no trace of hardcore scenes. The "Sylvester Stallone porno movie" evolved over the years into a minor urban legend. In 2007, the film resurfaced in what was supposedly a hardcore version, with the lead actors performing real sexual acts, but according to AVN the hardcore scenes were inserts not involving Stallone.
