* Caligula and Messalina (1981 - also known in some places as "Caligula 2." The 1990's VHS release was titled "Caligula's Perversions.") * Caligula (1980 - finally! The VASTLY different Italian version, "Io Caligola", came out in 1982.) * The Hot Nights of Caligula (1977 - also known in some places as "Caligula 2.") * Messalina, Messalina! (1977 - actually an official sequel, filmed on the same sets, starring Bob's two lovable lesbians, of course! Very widely known as "Caligula 2." The 1990's VHS release was titled "Caligula: The Sins of Rome.")
The "Caligula series" (scary though, eh?) consisted of the following.
Caligula 1979 the imperial edition uncut raw movie#
Oh, and a fun trivia fact - this movie was popular enough to spawn a load of sequels and knock-offs two of which actually came out three years BEFORE the movie, due to its various legal battles. What do you think of this always divisive movie? Hell, and this is the cut-down version at one point in the editing process, good ol' Anneka and Lori brought the movie to a halt for TWENTY MINUTES. That said, though, I really do hate the theatrical version, for the same reasons that many people - Malcolm McDowell in particular - have stated it's what could have been a good movie, scrambled to nonsense and littered with hardcore porn that has no place in the movie. (The set also comes with a quite informational booklet, explaining how there is quite a bit of crucial footage missing, so creating a 'perfect' version of the movie is currently impossible the poor quality of the replacement shots in the Imperial Bordello scene are a clear sign of how much scrambling for scraps was required to fix Bob's "improvements.) The story has a logical progression - no more random scenes popping up, such as the romp in the woods before the opening credits - and the eroticism that remains is what Tinto Brass meant as disturbing rather than scintillating all of Bob Guccione's inserts are removed. not surprisingly, the restructured version is actually a pretty good movie.

I recently broke down and bought the three-disc special edition of my all-time favorite bad movie, "Caligula." Primarily, because I wanted to see the dramatically restructured and edited version that debuted on the second disc.Īnd.
