Las Vegas-based adult production company Paradise Visuals has announced that it will release the 1994 video
John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut on Sept. 10, distributed by Anabolic on a DVD accompanied by the rarely seen sequel,
Frankenpenis.
It will be the first DVD release for both productions
"We secured the rights in 2007," Paradise Visuals partner Jason Green told XFANZ. "There has been some interest in John and he and the movies were discussed on HBO recently. Ron Jeremy, who directed the video, is going to do some signings and we're hoping to have John do signings as well."
In 1993, Bobbitt was attacked by his wife, who cut his penis off while he slept. She fled the scene with the severed penis and eventually tossed it out the window of her car. It was discovered by police and eventually reattached by surgeons.
Makes you feel better about your own life, doesn't it? No matter how bad it gets, it ain't that bad.
In 1994 Bobbitt made his porn debut in John Wayne Bobbitt Uncut, which was directed by Ron Jeremy and starred Jasmine Aloha, Veronica Brazil, Crystal Gold, Tiffany Lords, Nikki Randall, Lana Sands and Letha Weapons. The video features cameos from Motley Crue vocalist Vince Neil and Lemmy from Motorhead. It was called the best-selling adult movie until it was surpassed by Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee's home sex tape.
After the release of Uncut, Bobbitt underwent a controversial procedure to enlarge his penis, leading to the sequel Frankenpenis which featured an early performance from Tabitha Stevens and included a cameo by rapper Ice-T.
The DVD will be available in stores Sept. 10.
