Sylvester Stallone's First Movie Was A "Terrible" Western That You'll Never Be Able To See

Sylvester Stallone made his acting debut in a Western called Horses, a movie that will never be released. The success of Stallone's Rocky movies paralleled his own acting career in many ways, including his struggle to break through and how sudden fame impacted his life. Prior to the original Rocky, Stallone had appeared in films like Death Race 2000 and The Lords of Flatbush, but the star has spoken often of how tough his early years in the business were. One of his best friends during this era was director John Herzfeld after they met at the University of Miami.
