1 Night in China is a pornographic movie featuring professional wrestling personalities Sean Waltman and Joanie Laurer, which was released by Red Light District Video in 2004. While Waltman and Laurer were engaged at the time they filmed the movie, they broke up before it was released. Laurer, who died in April 2016, subsequently made several pornographic films, beginning with Another Night in China in 2009, which is considered to be a sequel to 1 Night in China.

Plot
The movie features scenes of Laurer and Waltman taking a guided tour of China, intercut with footage of the pair participating in explicit 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 under the influence of marijuana during much of the film, something which he later admitted to in an interview.
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.
Distribution
In late 2004, Laurer and Waltman collaborated with Red Light District Video to distribute their tape. The film achieved significant commercial success, selling over 100,000 copies. The distributing company reported that both Laurer and Waltman benefited financially from the sales. The release of the tape contributed to a revival in Laurer's career, leading to her subsequent appearance as a cast member on VH1's "The Surreal Life."
Reception
In January 2006, the film won an Adult Video News Award for the Top Selling Release of the Year.
