It's official: Bruce Willis has been virtually Bobbitt-ized. Earlier this year, there was speculation that scenes in Color of Night, some featuring Willis in full-frontal nudity, would give Disney its first NC-17 release. But after much debate among the studio, Cinergi Productions, and director Richard Rush, the questionable moments have been cut, and Night-featuring Willis as a psychologist embroiled in the murder of a colleague-will open Aug. 19 with an R rating. The lost moments include: *A scene in which a suicidal woman simulates fellatio with a gun. *Parts of a mostly underwater nude love scene between Willis and costar Jane March (The Lover). *A lesbian encounter between March and Lesley Ann Warren, although the women still kiss in the R version. Rush believes the excised scenes may show up in a planned director's-cut video. Meanwhile, disappointed Willis fans can take heart: The actor's buff bod is on display this fall in Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and Robert Benton's Nobody's Fool.
