[edit] Plot
The movie features scenes of Laurer and Waltman taking a guided tour of China, intercut with footage of the pair participating in anal, vaginal, and oral sex acts, with special emphasis on an anal sex scene, which serves as the climax of the film. Waltman appears to be high on marijuana during most of the film, something which he later admitted to in an interview.[2]
[edit] Etymology
The title of the movie is a play on words, as Laurer wrestled in the World Wrestling Federation under the ring name Chyna (pronounced China). A similarly named sex tape featuring Paris Hilton, also distributed by Red Light District, was entitled 1 Night in Paris.
[edit] Distribution
Laurer and Waltman approached Red Light District Video in late 2004 to distribute the tape.[3] The film sold over 100,000 copies.[3] According to the company, both Laurer and Waltman shared in the profits.[3] Because of the film, Laurer received a career boost, even appearing as a cast member on The Surreal Life on VH1.[3]
[edit] Reception
In January 2006, the film won an Adult Video News Award for the Top Selling Release of the Year.[4][5]
