The perfect punishment for pedophiles.

We need more movies like this.  If Caligula were around I'd vote for him.

Back when I was in the Marines, I and about dozen guys in my company were hanging out in one of said guys' off-base house getting hammered and (among other things) watching some bootlegged uncut version of this on VHS someone picked while deployed overseas. If you've not already discovered for yourself, this scene involves two guys getting their noggins cleanly lopped off by some sort of giant...head-mower.

I find something rather darkly comic about this scene. I have no intention of watching this film (I'm afraid my stomach's not strong enough for That kind of content), but I often get curious enough to take a sneaky-peek at the less violent scenes. That may be a challenge, upon hearing the kind of things this film contains. Still, violence just about made up the history of the Roman Empire and of Ancient Rome itself...

A little brutal for just about anyone, I think. Death penalty is primitive and ineffective.

@anatoriac

The victim (Macro) had assassinated Tiberius at Caligula's behest, and was then himself done in by his master so Caligula wouldn't fear being betrayed himself...and to prove to Drusilla that he owed his Empire to no one.

So, yes, he did get a raw deal from Caligula but he was a right SOB anyway.

Macro was played by John Rhys-Davies in "I, Claudius"

I learned so much from history from this video!
