On the DVD audio commentary for the film The 40 Year Old Virgin that film's director Judd Apatow credits Bowe as the inspiration for the film's Boner Jams 03 joke, saying that during the making of Heavyweights (on which Apatow served as a writer and Bowe portrayed a minor antagonist role) Bowe had displayed a mix tape he had compiled of his favorite scenes from various pornographic films.
