John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut
John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut is a 1994 pornographic film starring John Wayne Bobbitt. The film was directed by veteran porn actor Ron Jeremy. It won the 1995 AVN Award for both "top selling release of the year" and "top renting release of the year". Production. John Wayne Bobbitt's penis was amputated by his wife, Lorena Bobbitt, in 1993 but was surgically reattached. In 1994, Bobbitt met porn actor and director Ron Jeremy by chance at the Playboy Mansion. Bobbitt was attending a "Wet and Wild" party when he was approached by Jeremy about doing a  small cameo speaking part in a pornographic film. Bobbitt was more interested in a starring role. Bobbitt told "Vanity Fair" in 2018 that "A porno seemed like the best way to show my penis worked". The film includes a brief appearance by Lemmy from the band Motörhead. Jeremy says that Lemmy also contributed a song ("Under The Knife") to the film's soundtrack. The film had an invitation-only premiere on September 29, 1994, at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences where the Oscars awards are held. Bobbitt nearly missed the premiere of his own film because he  had been sentenced to jail for domestic battery, but he was released pending an appeal of his conviction. Reception and legacy. Film critic Owen Glieberman, writing for "Entertainment Weekly", was one of the few mainstream critics to review the film. Glieberman notes that "even by conventional porn standards, it’s a pretty bad movie". The "Phoenix New Times" published a review by Dewey Webb, who remarked on the film's production "staggeringly cheesy tone" while at the same time noting the anticipated high interest of its release. In contrast, Gene Ross, writing in "Adult Video News", gave it a four -N rating. Ross said the film was "destined to become XXX's all-time best seller". Two weeks after it was released, the film was reported to have sold 40,000 copies and was at number one on AVN's chart of bestselling porn films. The film went on to win the 1995 AVN awards for "top selling release of the year" and "top renting release of the year" in the United States. Bobbit was reported to have received 30 percent of the gross from each videotape sold. Although it has been decades since the film was made, it continues to  be of interest as a touchstone of the 1990s. It was reviewed for "Vice" by Chris Nieratko in 2009, with Nieratko stating “If Ron Jeremy is your director and he's feeding you that line of horseshit [that people want to see your penis post-reattachment], then you're an idiot and deserve a Frankencock. How long before this guy fades back into obscurity?” Feminist website "Refinery29" discussed Bobbitt's porn films in 2019, after the release of Jordan Peele's documentary series "Lorena" about John and Lorena Bobbitt.
