  • cool movie, best of porno with great story...usually i hate when porno movies try to tell a story, but this movie was exceptional in that regards and was quite porno too

  • calligula was not like this, what we know from him was the propaganda writen by his opposition

  • Password? lol that part still cracks me up

  • Despite how nasty this movie is it only scratches the surface on what Caligula actually did .

  • @MrHiei1234678 if they actually did show what he did do, then it would be XX rated. In fact it would arguably be a crime to actually make a film showing how nasty he actually was.

  • @sasasa5ify you said it.

  • Comment removed

  • This movie does not have realistic pictures of what Rome would look like. The buildings and cloths are completely different from what the would look like when Rome ruled.

  • im sorry i got rid of my vhs tapes, back then they wasnt edited. Damn these special interest groups gotta go! what ever happened to freedom of speech?

  • What a disgusting, unsexy and hard to watch film in it's uncut version, i saw the uncut version when i was 18 and it made me sick to my stomach. This movie ranks up there with Salo, Men Behind The Sun, Guiena Pig, Ichi The killer, Cannibal Holocaust, etc. as one of the sickest movies of all time. I heard Serbian Film is on the same level as this but i refuse to see that garbage after all the revolting things i heard.

  • why was this film controversial?

  • @moviedudeinc For its excessive violence and sexuality. It was quite strong at the time, and still is considered so today.

  • @11strelokfan1000

    Have you seen Serbian Film? it's almost on the same level of disgust like this one only more extreme i heard but i refuse to see it after all the horrific things i've heard including a scene where a newborn baby gets raped

  • @Johnlindsey289 I've only seen a bit of it, but yes, I am aware of how disgusting that movie is as well.

  • @moviedudeinc With one sentence: The best acted porno you'll ever see, with a lot of violence also :)

  • @SuperHeroMania

    Would you compare this movie to Salo?

  • @Johnlindsey289 Nah, Salo is much more sick, this film is at least worth a watch

  • If only all America had just one neck!

  • I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am a God.

  • watch Fellini Satyricon instead

  • little cunting Helen Mirren didn't get her tits out. i was DEVASTEDED!!!

  • I rented the original un-cut version in the 80's'...They did show this on Ch5 but not sure when'..The only copy I have seen since are the Edited Version.Malcolm McDowell is specacular in this role'..So ie Peter O'toole...A Cracking Thriller!!

  • Great movie!! This video is easily available in charity shops for less than fifty pence!! Yet on youtube the full movie is non existant!! Why?

  • @MAGICKMINSTREL718 Some think "Nudity" is "Wrong" idk why its really nothing. Amazing movie though.

  • I saw the original version and the edited version. Each one was unique in that it had its own collection of amazing flaws. There was an extra 10 minutes of vulgar nudity with wrinkled old women in the sex scenes. Peter O'Toole's lines were barely audible because the wrong microphone was used. The scene of the guy being castrated was there, but the castrated guy's acting was terrible.

    There's a book about the making of this movie, and it's more entertaining than the actual movie.

  • dunstin690;That's Pagan Rome for you-lust and debauchery!

  • its hard to imagine malcom old, but watch star trek generations and there he is

  • Comment removed

  • i love this movie. it is pretty filthy, but the acting is so godamn great (Malcolm McDowell is the best) and the sets and backdrops and costumes are grand and it's one of the most gutsy movies ever. Caligula was really that insane and sexually perverse and the movie tells it like it was, and if people can't handle it they can go to hell.

  • A Clockwork Orange part II

  • I thought the gore was good however the sex was not. The nudity I understand however the emphases they put on it throughout the I don't like. The reason I like this movie is because of how it wants to tell it how it was and in that sense I don't mind the nudity however when they just randomly cut to an extras penis it kinda ruins the art in film.

  • can anyone please isolate the music from this trailer and make a video of the music alone?

  • @BibleJoker2Face Just search for romeo and juliet by prokofiev

  • will a sanitized version of Caligula ever be made? just because the Romans had sex doesn't mean you have to depict it on screen. i don't see the need for nudity, especially in a period piece, unless the storyline requires it (ie. "Schindler's List")

  • @BibleJoker2Face This is ABSOLUTELY rediculous!!!! His perversions were what made him go down in history as one of the sickest dictators in history. Attitudes like yours are why Americans are doomed to be a bunch of naive helpless slaves!!!!!!!!!!!

  • PROKOFIEV!!!!

  • not historically faithful, but Malcolm Mcdowell captures Caligula's persona perfectly.  The depravity in the film, while over the top, also captures what really happened, so i feel as if even if it isn't completely accruate, its better than a whole lot of movies.

  • is it true that this film has real ejaculations and explicit intercourse in it? you must be kidding....

  • @CoirNoirify

    Yes, this film has real ejaculations and explicit intercourse. Alas, not by the main actors.

  • There's a good movie in Caligula, if only somebody would edit it. As it stands, it's simply sex and murder, without rhyme or rhythm. It doesn't flow. It doesn't stand as the epic poetry of lust, debauchery, power, violence and hedonism as the film deserves. You can see the good film in there, but there's a lot of junk surrounding it, and gets a bit boring at times, save McDowell chewing entire sets - that alone is worth the price of admission.

    It's both art and porno. I'd prefer the art.

  • @SoundtrackSelections This is the only film i think they should remake with all the nudity and the violence but not put such an emphases on it, and get rid of the pointless lesbian sex scene.

  • 0:38 what is this?

    0:40 this cuts off his guard his jaw

  • CALIGULA is both Art AND pornography.....looks and sounds incredible, great acting, production design etc....and it's jam-packed full of beheadings, tortures, disembowellings,emasculations, straight, gay, lesbian and dwarf sex(!) fucking, sucking, spunking, pissing and fisting....in other words, EXACTLY like ancient Rome! If you don't believe me, visit the merchant's villa at Pompei-you'll see what I mean!

  • @eibon81 haha dude ive been there before and have seen the dicks carved into stone that 'point the way' to the nearest brothel, its crazy

  • what is that big red moving wall?

  • Caligula got one in the yarbles.

  • Isn't the actor here who plays as caligula the same that played cicero in Rome?

  • @JFCPantheras Nope

  • @Badjokemaker just checkin

    

  • So this is where Spartacus gods of the arena and blood and sand got its inspiration from :P

  • Tinto Brass was a talented director, this should be a great movie.

    Berlusconi is the modern Caligola but he probably is more ignorant and rude.

  • Why can't have actors from the actual country! Grrr it gets so fake when we have to watch this stuff.....

  • Why can't have actors from the actual country! Grrr it gets so fake when we have to watch this stuff.....

  • THIS MOVIE SUCKS they didnt even show the historical events just a bunch of naked people nd i dont think it was like that all the time in the ancient rome

  • WAS CALIGULAS WORST THAN NERO????? geez these 2 were crazyyyyyyy they were the most evil men in rome

  • Pelicula controvertida, llamada de las 10 prohibidas de toda la Historia, mas allá de las escenas el productor siempre fue claro al decir que era la forma mas real de mostrar a Calígula, depende del criterio de cada persona, como exposición del emperador romano me parece un cine exclusivamente de arte, las escenas son fuertes pero no tienen de que asombrar durante muchos años los emperadores romanos siempre abusaron de su poder y Calígula solo es una muestra, muy buena película.

  • most expensive porn ever made

  • I've just watched the uncut Blu-Edition and, I have to say, watching 15 Penthouse Pets getting screwed sore - including 'money shots' - in the same film as Sir John Gielgud and Dame Helen Mirren has to count as one of the more bizarre experiences of my life.

    I actually like it as a film, despite the risqué aspect and the spectacle of it. A lot of movie reviewers have blown cold on it. I think they're scared of calling it a good film because they're worried what people will think of them.

  • This movie has SOOOO much sex and violence, it makes Paul Verhoeven llook like St Paul!

  • @LoveShock2 Well spoken and very interesting!

  • Have to say even though I did not scene this film from beginning to end I did enjoy the scene with the women having orgies etc. Had to watch this scene more than once soooooo erotic!

  • the first narrators voice is awesome. ON THE UTHAH

  • Its artistic porn

  • "I only have to nod and your throats will be cut!" >:D

  • I love Malcom on this one

  • Im sorry but this film sucked! Naked ppl walking around, orgies all over the place.. Oh my god!! this film seemed more like a porno, if u ask me...<.<

  • @Rixera he actually did alot of this though lol

  • @Rixera Hang ups much? Naked people and sex on film bad, naked people and sex on canvas or stone good? Get the stick out of your butt.

  • @Ih8stupidhumans Hey! You don't have to be mean, I'm just saying that I didn't like the film... as a human beeing I'm entitled to have an opinion!

  • @Rixera You're right you are entitled to your own opinion......but my opinion of your opinion on this film is CA-CA!!! Besides the fact that there were only a few sex scenes in it, any soap opera has way more sex in it the only difference is it's somewhat censored.

  • @Ih8stupidhumans Yeah well I still didn't like the film and I'd appreciate it if you'd stop badgering me about it...

  • @Rixera HA! If you didn't have that psuedo adolescent attitude with the way you worded that reply and were sincerely upset then I would stop but since you typed it like a spoiled little brat I cannot with good conscience stop badgering your simple,narrow-minded self.

  • @Ih8stupidhumans You're an asshole you know that!? LEAVE ME ALONE!!!

  • @Rixera Pretty good coming from a whole ass....no I won't leave you alone WTF are you doing here anyway? Just here to criticize and shit on someone else's idea of art?

  • I had a vhs copy of the porn version in the 80s. Of course it got worn out rather quickly lol

  • It is Art

  • I hate the occult!

  • @sKewbrain Why?

  • @angrycitizen7 bc they do evil

  • @sKewbrain How so? 

  • Hello people.

    I want to get this movie on DVD (or Blu-Ray) and I was wondering which version I should get? I'm not a movie pro, so I would gladly take advice from you. I want of course a total uncut version that has all the porn and fucked up shit in it. ;D

  • I just got a no-name DVD copy of this Caligula movie, turned out to be an NTSC Uncut version even though it had the new black OFLC R rating sticker on it. Suck it Conroy, your "you can't watch it on DVD" rhetoric is bulldust. I just proved you wrong with my ID card (I regret calling myself TeenAuthor on Youtube, I'm 20 now) and my wallet.

    To think that I was able to score an uncut copy that worked in my DVD player is amazing. Came with some extras like a doco.

  • HA Ha this is a familly film!

  • I fuckin love this movie!

  • I absolutely love this film. I don't care what ANYONE says -- Caligula, while not flawless, is a cinematic classic. I am disappointed however that there wasn't a scene where Caligula drove spectator sections into the lion arena during an intermission because he was bored -- That was a documented account and I think it would have made a powerful scene depicting just how sinister and depraved he was.

  • @roffles64

    I hear that! Good taste man!

  • Just saw this for the first time, and it was interesting to say the least. Depending on how you look at it, it is either one hell of a carwreck, or an epic cult film.

  • COOL trailers =)

  • Historically correct? I'm not sure about that. Definitely some pagan aspects here. Not for the weak minded.

  • The Romans were orgiastic, they were also bloodthirsty. Along with many other kingdoms which ravaged and sacked other more peaceful and very threatening cultures. It has been found that even the great crusaders cooked and ate muslem and jewish children to put fear into their enemy. More recent horrific acts occured in the Sudan. The word psychopath comes from an ancient language.

  • The Romans were orgiastic, they were also bloodthirsty. Along with many other kingdoms which ravaged and sacked other more peaceful and very threatening cultures.

  • Mcdowell is awasome in that movie

  • Calígula(1979) was inspired by Salò 120 Giorni Sodoma (1975).

    Controversial and polemical films...

  • The second trailer at 0:29, that is Orson Welles' voice isn't it?

  • I'd take Caligula over Partacus or Alexander anyday!

  • The film was an awful movie, it just didnt work and was destined for the scrap heap. I think Guccione realized this after watching the final cut and in a last ditch attempt to salvage his investment on it spliced in the hardcore porn. Hoping to create the same kind of buzz other hardcore films like Deep Throat had created.

  • Peter O'Toole looks like he's dying of AIDS in the trailer. Just that fuckin' AIDS looks on his face with the lesions.

  • Where can I find the full uncut version of the movie? I don't wanna watch the censored shit.

  • @Shadecaster06 I don't which country you live in but the hardcore uncut version is available on DVD now. There seems to be various different versions of it but I rented one of the discs from the multi-disc Imperial Edition (UK) and that was 2 and half hours long and contained some pretty racy stuff. I think that's the longest cut available.

  • @Shadecaster06

    bittorrent most likely...i do think i saw this years ago like ten years ago on hbo (r rated version)...that guy had one hell of an attitude problem he went insane thru the movie(if this is the movie i think i saw).

  • name of the song shown in the trailer please

  • Saw the movie. Damn fucking great. Must watch!

  • scared. and actully the graphic sex was hardcore but i think it was nesscary really. it shows how rome was out of control at this period of time. its not a great flim nor is it bad but i think its an important flim. once you see it like or not your life wont be the same! i loved it. iam glad my gf got it for me it was an unepxcted gift...thanks baby i love you : ) .......... i say see this movie it truly is a masterpice

  • ARCH ENEMY - RISE OF THE TYRANTS

  • beautifully made in its decacent colours and sets, sleazy in itsup market trimings, this film is compelling, a little overblown, arty and yet plays like a soft porn/hardcore movie. a cast never to be seen again in a movie of this sensation, mcdowells last great cinema role while gielguds ever spiralling quality guest roles in trash.

    the 70s made the greatest sex movies, deep throat, flesh gordon, emmanuelle, black emmanuelle and this.

  • Movies of the seventies were so much more entertaining. I loved this movie, and I love Malcolm McDowell.

  • What is the Name of The Background music the soundrack

  • This movie is a fav amongst obama supporters!

  • The music alone is scary

  • @patrickc1193 Prokofiev al the way :D

  • I loved Caligula although it was not historically faithful in many respects. If one cut all the gratuitous Bob Guccione porn fantasies it would be a masterpiece.

  • That's an interesting observation. Would you consider a film like Passion of the Christ a masterpice if it were minus all the gratuitous violence, but not necessarily historically accurate?

    I found the violence in Passion offensive, and the hardcore sex in Caligula as nothing more than peculiar, but each to their own :)

  • I cannot comment as I have not seen Passion of the Christ. Cheers.

  • @AussieRoadshow I see what you're saying, but if you took out all the Guccione stuff, you'd still have much of the sex that Tinto Brass stuck in anyway. The Guccione scenes are remarkably ugly and unsexy to me, and they have a similar effect on me as the excessive violence in The Passion.

  • @AussieRoadshow I really hope i misunderstood your point, because it looks like you are saying that Passion of the Christ was historically accurate...

  • @AussieRoadshow this is true this is one of the reasons why i dont like mel gibson's movies.They are just offensive and they just made me feel guilty for watching them.Although i feel nothing of this sort when i watch CaliGula and other films like it.Maybe its because of the times.Maybe its something else!II dont know...

  • @AussieRoadshow Yeah but Passions violence is most accurate to how it was described in the bible. I understand at that time, everyone lived under pagan like culture where sexual orgies was fond at that time, but the whole time i watched caligula, i was like ''Jeez........ could u put more sex scenes''. I felt like i was watching a porno with really good acting and gruesome violence, haha.

  • Who was more evil? Hitler or Caligula?

  • @nobodysperfect06 Hitler was a non-smoking vegetarian, so Caligula was far more evil.

  • @nobodysperfect06 Historically, Hitler far better documented than Caligula. It's possible a lot of the stuff about Caligula is just slander from ancient historians who hated him. But he probably wasn't a good Emperor.

  • Didn't roger Ebert call this the worst movie ever made?

  • @blakiecakes419 No it was a women next to him at a water cooler. but he did hate it too.

    But I love Malcolm McDOWell.

  • @speacailpatrolgroup I love that review, and Malcolm McDowel is freakin awesome. It's a shame he's stuck doing Rob Zombie movies now.

  • I know! I hate how he is just doing crappy remakes now. And I hate rob zombie movies.

    I wish Malcolm would do different roles. I love how he does MetalOcalypse.

  • this movie looks fkn sick lool i was just in rome last week so i must see this

  • omg oscar winner HELEN MIRREN (The Queen) was innnn thaaaat film???!!! lol lmao

  • LOL the best porn movie ever made if only kubrick would have made this

  • No!!! No es una simple pelicula porno... Por favor!

  • This is a porn movie, of course, but it's the best porn movie ever made.

  • what's the music?

  • why do we call it pornography everytime there is a naked woman ? i call it pornography all the time there is a naked woman that has no pupose ! why do we get so offended when it shows the Roman for how they were. Does not make them bad or good ! its just an aspect of what it was like any other civilization. one of the reasons of the fall of the Roman Empire was by the way the lust and orgies made all the time. They lost their "balls" so the vigilance to control the then falling empire....

  • No, they call it pornography because it shows close-ups of oral sex, all sorts of penetration, and money shots out the wazoo. They're not just claiming it's porn... it really is porn.

  • @archmsm because this could actually be considered a porno

  • @archmsm It's not just because there's a naked woman, it's because the sex in that movie shows actual penitration and ejaculation. ewwww

  • @archmsm nero and caligula allow sex prostitution nd orgies they were nuts

  • Malcome Mc Dowell was hot in the day.

  • 0:20 name of the classic song????Please!!!

  • The Dance of the Knights - Romeo and Juliet by Sergei Prokofiev.

  • Montagues and Capulets

  • No, the song is not part of Romeo and Juliet, actually, it is part of the original score. This theme is called "Woods Sequence", composed by Paul Clemente (Paul Clemente is just the pseudonym of Bruno Nicolai). You can listen the whole song in Youtube.

  • @KevinMcCool it is from prokofiev, dance of the knights.

  • Comment removed

  • Why do people hate this film so much? I love the mixture of death and sex (call it porn if you want - this is not what I would call pornography!) It's a wildly visual film, the sets are amazing. Who cares about the inaccuracies. All other ROman epics recently are glossy and dishonest compared to this...

  • exactly,if people are offended..then they shouldnt watch it!

  • If the Romans of the time rose again now and saw this infernal movie, they would blame our generation for watching that! Most of the things are SERIOUSLY INACCURATE, what appeals to me only are two aspects: wardrobe and performances. All the rest is historical trash!

  • what a crap movie- pornography thinly disguised as 'art' also historically inaccurate

  • The Japanese could do a remake and call it Godzigula and have Godzilla destroy Rome.

  • ROFLMFAO ahahahahhahahaha ROFLMFAO really funny man haha

  • @lefty5128 I think that was done in a Japanimation film.

  • I was joking, Disney would never remake this, well maybe under the Touchstone tag but never Disney, lol.

    Caligula, good wholesome family entertainment.

    If you're the Manson family that is.

  • If you're referring to that 5 minute long trailer that had Courtney Love at the end, that was just a spoof made in 2005. It is not a trailer for a real remake.

  • I can't wait for the Disney remake.

  • say what? you can't be serious!

    If Disney remakes this, Caligula's honor is forever destroyed. I always hated that fucking nazi.

  • Caligula is way better the the overated Titus even if Hopkins did his best in a bad film. Caligula had it all. Nudiy, sex, muder and backstabbing while Titus (who couldnt decide if it was rome or today) only had Hopkins nude for his fans

  • This movie is hilariously insane.

  • I'[m stil working on a version of Caligula...

    For the XBOX!

  • Its one of my favorite movies. the sickest part... most of it is accurate.

  • This film looks very disturbing. I heard about some pretty graphic scenes and just by looking at the trailer, it looks graphic, like the beheading-with-the-giant-blade­s scene.

  • This film won't just scare you, it'll f**k you up for life!!!!

  • @Android3008 It's a very very VERY disgusting movie and after I had seen it I thought: This is the sickest piece of shit I have EVER seen!

  • @ThrawnDuGard2

    I guess you didn't see "120 Days of Sodom" and "Men behind the Sun" yet ; )

  • @Agumon123445 Oh Yay.... Now I have that to be exited about as well...

    NOT :P haha funny arnt you xD

  • @ThrawnDuGard2

    Did I say something wrong to you or is a normal way of talking beyond your abilities?

  • @Agumon123445 No why?

    Sorry 4 trying to be friendly...

  • So I guess that means you'll remain a virgin for the rest of your life then? If hardcore sex is the 'sickest shit you've ever seen', I'd be interested in how you'd react to a movie like 'Salo', which is FAR WORSE than anything in Caligula -- or your reaction to any old '80s horror movie.

  • Comment removed

  • @roffles64 O my bad, I was speaking for those of us that don't watch porn...

    And I can't really say that you must be a very normal guy if you'w allready seen in life a man's penis tied up and then the man himself is so filled with wine that he's ready to burst.... After all this you'w also seen a man cut open his belly? Now that gentlemen....

    Is just playing wrong....

  • @ThrawnDuGard2 Don't be a child.

  • @roffles64 Im trying but your making it very easy :P

    Nah just joing...

    But I was really feeling bad after seeing Caligula...

    Malcolm McDowell is an amazing actor and this is most likely one of the best roles he has ever had, but I just think that there was too much cheap por-scenes and come on... That scene where Tiberius crush that guards penis and then split open his belly... And the scene where Caligula killed that guy and then the girls peed on him... That was perry disgusting...

  • @ThrawnDuGard2

    Well, I've also never watched a porn movie in my life, what's the point?

    This one isn't porn, it's just a mediocre controversial movie messed up by porn scenes that were randomly inserted against the director's will.

    Only reason to watch it is Malcolm McDowell, but a movie doesn't become heavy because of cheap out-of-place-porn without any artistical intention.

    Watch 'Salo" and I promise you, it'll make you wanna puke.
