Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was shot in autumn 1981 under the working title 'Follia del potere'.
- Alternate versionsThe British Board of Film Classification granted an 18 certificate to 'Caligola: La storia mai raccontata' for theatrical release in 1984 in a version that had been pre-cut by the distributors to remove 14 minutes of hardcore footage and a bestiality scene featuring a horse, and then cut by a further 8m 42 secs by the BBFC. These included all footage of dildos, Caligula raping a virgin in a forest, a wife and child being slaughtered, a man's tongue being removed and closeups of sex scenes. The Board, however, rejected the same cut version for video 3 years later.

What A Vile Film
I am quite a Joe D'amato fan for such films as "Anthropophagus" and some of the Emmanuelle series so to my surprise I hadn't heard of this film until about a week ago. Naturally, I went through all the lengths to find the hardcore version of this movie and with luck did find it. This movie is in no way as good as Penthouse's "Caligula" but is in no way a forgettable movie. Anyone that knows the story of Caligula knows he was quite a sick man or should I say monster. This version of the film is definitely XXX and can be quite disturbing even to a person of my tastes. The movie starts off kind of slow except for the very opening scene where you see Italian director Michele Soavi get his nerves cut and his tongue cut out. The movie does pick up and about half way through the movie is an orgy scene that seems to just go on and on. This scene, for me, has some of the most tasteless moments in it. I am not even going to describe it other than there is a horrible beastiality scene which is just wrong on many levels. I think the most disturbing part in the movie is when Caligula finds out he is being conspired against. So naturally, he finds the conspirators and does one of the most horrendous things I have ever scene on film. And what happens to one of the conspirators family is unspeakable. So, if you are a fan of the original "Caligula" I say to check this movie out. Just expect a low budget movie with some horrible scene.
