Caligula may very well be the most controversial film in history. Only one movie dares to show the perversion behind Imperial Rome, and that movie is "Caligula," the epic story of Rome's mad emperor. All the details of his cruel, bizarre reign are revealed right here: his unholy sexual passion for his sister, his marriage to Rome's most infamous prostitute, his fiendishly inventive means of disposing of those who would oppose him, and more. The combined talents of cinematic giants Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud and Shakespearean actress Helen Mirren, along with an acclaimed international cast and a bevy of beautiful Penthouse Pets, make this unique historical drama a masterwork of the screen. Not for the squeamish, not for the prudish, "Caligula" will shock and arouse you as it reveals the deviance and decadence beneath the surface of the grandeur that once was Rome.

A hideously crippled masterpiece.

There are two reactions to this film: 1. "I absolutely HATED it!" and 2. "I absolutely LOVED the sex in that movie!!!!". EIther way you cannot deny- this film, meant to be good, was edited badly.

SHORT ATTENTION SPAN SUMMARY:

1. Thought of as a surreal black comedy
2. Scripted as a homoerotic political satire
3. Shot as an erotic mindflip of a movie
4. Edited as a disaster
5. Released as a disaster.

What could have been a great film was ruined by one man: Bob Guccione. Tinto Brass and Gore Vidal had shot 95% of the footage, and Bob GUccione had shot about 5 hours of "sexy" material to make this a "T-ts-and-arse-and-gore", 6 minutes of which had ended up in the movie. He then went to edit an AWESOME satire of Caligula's atrocities into a disaster of a movie. The acting was great, and Malcom McDowell outdid himself as Caligula. The film has many great scenes, including the nervous breakdown from Caligula. Gore Vidal and Tinto Brass had disowned the film because Bob Guccione would lock Tinto Brass outside the editing room. If the film had been edited properly, It would have been a great film.

The recut version on this DVD has scenes edited back the way they were meant to be edited, but 5 quick Gooch inserts were left in by a mistake. It's worth watching though. And the film must be seen to be believed. You may love it, you may hate it. I know I didn't hate it or love it.

Overall, this gets a 5/5 for what it could have been, but for what it ended up, it gets a 1/5.

a great exploitation flim based on reality

This is a movie about caligula which meant little boots in latin.
He was the son of the great prince and general Germanicus and he was Romes third emporer. He started out ok and then began to push the boundries into the realm of either insanity or just selfish evil. His life was [...] , you can't tell about Caligula unless you tell about how he made the wives of senators into whores. He was driven to sexual excesses that were shocking to the Romans. His cruelty was legendary and finally they assassinated him. This movie depicts him in all his monstrous excesses. And it does a great job doing it too. Malcolm Mcdowell really portrays the essence of the man. Was he insane? or was he the ultimate spoiled young man who is allowed to do whatever he wanted? Did he actually believe that he was a god or did he just want to get away with anything he could? An interesting fact is that he was killed as he attempted to put his statue on the Temple Mount in Jerusalum. This was seen as a act of god. And perhaps he should be in the bible as a lesson that NO man shall become a god. after all he was contemporary with peter, paul and the other biblical figures. Sure the movie has lots of sex in it but it still tells one of histories most bizaare stories and on blu ray things are only better!

Greatest Porno Ever Made

Let's just call and spade a spade. This is a pornographic film. But damn if it isn't the best one ever made. The sets are amazing. The production design is amazing. To hell with Vivid Video's 'Pirates' and the like. Buy this instead. Wonderfully excessive!

LIKE A 2 1/2 HOUR LONG - XXX RATED - SEX ORGY!

After viewing this film. I am convinced that the main reason for this film bieng made. Is for a 2 1/2 HOUR LONG VIEWING OF A XXX SEX ORGY. There is more emphasism on the orgy than the main character of this film. If your looking for a good hardcore orgy porn? I thought this movie was really HOT, for that! For everything else. It's, a waste of time!
