Caligula (1979) famously brought together top-tier actors with shockingly extreme content

The reign of Caligula was more graphic than any movie can portray.

The ultimate cut is an excellent movie. The previous cuts were eye opening to say the least

I have in fact seen this movie after reading that it was produced by penthouse. It's fucking wild to say the least

Saw this movie in 1980 in Portland, Oregon. Long movie, and very graphic. As well as very long 😃

It was disturbing, but they went overboard and jumped the shark. The real story was shocking enough, they didn't need to make up things that didn't make sense.

Have it on dvd.😊

Movie was ahead of its time. Today its not even shocking.

There is so much about the reign of Gaius that was written LONG after the fact that it's now impossible to use the writings of contemporary observers as source material because they just don't exist. Consequently, whatever you've read about the excess of his life and time as Emperor is most likely to be a complete fabrication or something approaching that. His father, Germanicus, was such a popular figure that when he died "on campaign" it was rumoured that Tiberius had had him put to death as a sure fire method of preventing him from taking the throne. There were riots in the streets, with mobs of people shouting "Give us back our Germanicus!" So... When his last surviving son, Gaius (Nickname "Caligula") was summoned to the isle of Capri to be "watched over" by the paranoid Tiberius, Gaius has been depicted, ( especially in the movie) as murdering Tiberius when ascending the throne. Truth is, Gaius, as the son of Germanicus, was incredibly popular and didn't need to eliminate Tiberius, who was already unpopular and feared, and Tiberius had moved to Capri specifically to escape the many plots and enemies that he had made in Rome itself, leaving the administration and policing of the city and the Empire itself to Sejanus, who Tiberius later accused of treason and had him put to death as well. So. Just on the ascendancy of Gaius, this movie AND the writings of the Romans themselves, is most likely completely based on writing fabricated by his Uncle Claudius to "smooth over" whatever difficulties he had during his reign. "Caligula" was not like Augustus or Claudius, or even Julius, who all wrote their own accounts of the events and deeds of their reign. The absence of anything contemporary and the very upheavals for the empire from the tenure of the Julio-Claudian dynasty makes production of a film like this or anything written about this period of the First Century AD high speculation and most likely a poor representation of the truth, if "the truth" is even possible to achieve at all.

The truth scares people but the truth will keep horrors from happening again

Not as bad as here in Australia we have Anthony albonese

I was 12 and snuck in to see it in 1979. Tha BeeJay with 2 women was something else.

An ex of mine showed this to me back i 1998. To say it's wild would be a big understatement.

This is the actual behavior of the elites/ oligarchs.

I have seen it, and it is fkn insane. LOL. However, they held back some from actual historical evidence of how screwed in the head he was.

Ive only seen like 7 minutes of this movie.

And now it’s on Amazon Prime 😂

The director made the The movie to specifically mainstream and normalize pornography.

Didn’t the Penthouse guy make this movie…

Controversial? The movie came out 12 years before I was born and the secggs scenes were more graphic than the actual violence. Found it in college 😂😂😂😂

Ultimate cut is brilliant
