Description
Caligula may very well be the most controversial film in history. Only one movie dares to show the perversion behind Imperial Rome, and that movie is "Caligula," the epic story of Rome's mad emperor. All the details of his cruel, bizarre reign are revealed right here: his unholy sexual passion for his sister, his marriage to Rome's most infamous prostitute, his fiendishly inventive means of disposing of those who would oppose him, and more. The combined talents of cinematic giants Malcolm McDowell, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud and Shakespearean actress Helen Mirren, along with an acclaimed international cast and a bevy of beautiful Penthouse Pets, make this unique historical drama a masterwork of the screen. Not for the squeamish, not for the prudish, "Caligula" will shock and arouse you as it reveals the deviance and decadence beneath the surface of the grandeur that once was Rome.

3 out of 5 stars The R rated version is better.......2007-06-18

Probably, people are primarily interested in this movie because of its reputation as expensive porn, in which case the old R rated version is passe. However, honestly, it's the better version. Take away the endless, lengthy gratuitous explicit porn and violence, and you can see this is actually a pretty good movie with some good acting. I liked this movie when I saw it years ago, and out of curiosity just rented the uncut version. After awhile, I just got bored. Do you want a Penthouse spread or a decent movie? The decision is clear if you know what you want.

4 out of 5 stars Great classical film for good resale value.......2007-06-10

3 out of 5 stars Art, Gore and Genitals.......2007-06-07

3.5 stars
'Helen Mirren wanders through the whole thing looking aloof and rather bored. In the making of documentary she gets the best line describing the film: "It's an interesting mix of Art and genitals" and then gives the perfect smirk to camera." Sullivat

'Caligula' recounts the real life of the Roman emperor Gaius Caesar, known as Caligula, Malcolm McDowell. He ruled from 37-41 A.D. Caligula is believed by historians to have gone mad shortly after assuming office. He wasted his resources on public shows; exiled or murdered most of his family; enjoyed watching people tortured and killed while he ate dinner; made his pet race horse a consul; proclaimed himself a god; and had temples built in his honor. He was also the man who was murdered by his own guard. Good riddance.

"One can see what attracted Guccione to the project, the loose sexual mores of ancient Rome served up by a bevy of Penthouse pets. However, what makes this movie more than that is a quite literate script from Gore Vidal (more Gore than Vidal as someone said) and Tinto Brass visual sense allowed free reign with such a budget ($17,000,000). The problem is that Brass did not follow Gore's script and good went bad. Gore insisted that his name be removed from the project." Gregory Dorr

Malcolm McDowell plays the deranged angry young (or not so young) man performance that we've seen everywhere.l like 'Clockwork Orange'. Peter O'Toole is loathesome as the rotting Tiberius and appears to be thoroughly enjoying himself. Teresa Ann Savoy is charming as Drusilla. Helen Mirren wanders through the whole thing looking aloof and rather bored. Gielgud acts with disdain through his limited part, hard to t ell wether he's acting or not. Gielgud's Nervo had the right idea: he offs himself at the end of the first half-hour. The image on this DVD is very poor, looking as if it had been transferred not from film stock but rather from a shower curtain.

This was thrid viewing of Caligula and did not live up to its first and second showing that so many years ago. It was not erotic, sad somehow in its efforts to appear all that it is not. 'Caligula' should be seen once for its grand overdone theme. It does give you a feel for the times and the Rome that we visualize.

Interesting movie, well acted. It has some almost Fellini-like grotesque moments, but I really like this film. It is a record of the 70's when it was made. I do not think that you could make such a movie with fine actors, and all the sex today. This movie was from the more liberated sexual days of the 70's and is a marvelous document of such. Well worth seeing. And a telling of the history of Caligula and the social extravegances of the wealthy roman aristocracy.

Caligula Reincarnated as Hitler: SS Commandant Starker runs a women's prison of war camp that serves as a stop-over for soldiers returning to the front. Along with his demented subordinates and a female Gestapo officer who feeds victims to her dogs, the monstrous Starker takes great pleasure in the atrocities he commits. White Slave: While enjoying the exotic splendors of the Amazon River, beautiful Katherine Miles witnesses the gruesome decapitation of her parents by headhunters. Abducted by the bloodthirsty warriors and taken deep into the jungle, Katherine is subjected to torture, humiliation, and attack by cannibals, as well as gut-churning primitive rituals and punishments.

2 out of 5 stars Quite nasty........2007-06-18

If you are sensitive to The Holocaust, then this is one exploitation film that I would avoid. Taking it's cue directly from "The Night Porter" it tells the story of a beautiful blonde named Lise and her lover, a former SS commander and head of a concentration camp. Turns out the two met when Lise was bought to the camp as a prisoner, and it was only after subjecting her to countless physical and psychological tortures that the commander finally fell in love with her. The atrocities that went on in the camp form the basis of the film, and are told in the form of extended flashbacks.





Now, unlike other Nazi romps like the Ilsa films and "SS Experiment Camp" or "The Beast in Heat", this is one film that you really can't watch for laughs or titillation. The atmosphere is surprisingly grim, and it's not just down to any graphic violence. What marks it out is that it doesn't shy away from the historial fact that the Nazis were exterminating Jews and the script goes to some length to point this out during many of the torture and sex scenes as the Nazis constantly deride and humiliate the inmates with reference to their Jewishness. It adds a distinctly nasty edge to the film, one that is not helped by the most notorious sequnce in which the Nazi dignitaries decide to liven up a banquet by cooking and eating one of the semi naked inmates who has just fainted after a particularly nauseating (and long) rant by one of the more fervent diners on the subject of how the Jewish people should best be utilised to serve the "greater Germany". Removed from the old UK "video nasty" videe version, this sequencee is undoubtedly the most chilling part of the entire film, but it's not the nudity or death that causes it, it's the hatred and disregard for the Jewish race that is painted so vividly in this scene. The fact that the actors are only average performers for this kind of genre film, plus the English dubbing is terrible, only seems to highlight just how offensive this script actually is.





For it's most part, the film exists mainly to show the attractive heroine in various states of undress and either being subjected to or witnessing many acts of cruelty and torture. To break her spirit, her best friends are murdered in front of her. She is sexually degraded, and hung upside-down over a cage of rats. A Nazi guard taunts her with clothing and ornaments made of skin and body parts of dead inmates. All the time she sinks further and further into a comatose state which allows her to withstand the nightmare, until the camp commander finally admits defeat and takes her on as his lover. The film ends with the flashback portion finally revealing Lise's ultimate tragedy, as well as how she has managed to stop herself from going totally insane in the years that came after it was all over.





Filmed with some degree of competence, this is actually a fairly well made movie. Whether it's enjoyable or not is dubious. The fact that the film uses genuine documented stories of Nazi behaviour at the death camps as inspiration for sexsploitation is quite sickening in places. The re-release titled as "Caligula Reincarnated as Hitler" presents a terrible full-screen version of the film that cuts off several key parts of the picture all the way through, and adds a specially filmed title sequence featuring a pouting model wearing an SS party outfit...oh lordy. At least they kept the original theme music, and it appears to be the long uncut version. The old UK video was slightly letterboxed but missing the banquet scene. I haven't seen any other releases, but if someone dares bring out a wide-screen remastered DVD version in English, that would be the one to go for, if you think you can take it.





NB I haven't watched the other film on the double pack "White Slave"

3 out of 5 stars Hitler/Caligula: Rape, Torture, and Fun.......2006-07-06

"Caligula Reincarnated as Hitler" was a good rape, terror, and torture movie. There are some sexual violence scenes that are too brief. As the other reviewer said, beatings, whippings, gang raping of women prisoners, dipping naked women into vats of lime, and hanging the young blonde star nude and upside down over a box of live rats round the good scenes out. If you're a fan of sicko movies, this will get you off hard. At times the movie is a bit slow, as I found myself wanting to see more abuse and humiliation and degredation rather than scenes where nothing happens. (The intro care ride scene is boring, and just reminded me of a recent car accident I was in. Buit I digress ... ) I haven't watched "White Slave" yet but will when I can. I have great expectations for more sick, disguisting fun! - Matt Mazzuckelli

4 out of 5 stars Caligula Reg. as Hitler/ White Slave .......2006-07-04

Good stuff , I think I enjoyed White Slave more than the other.

3 out of 5 stars Two classics together, however, not their entire versions........2006-03-06

While both movies are entertaining in their own right, I thought I would mention to buyers and viewers out there that the film White Slave is also under the title of Amazonia: The Catherine Miles Story. You can find this DVD here on Amazon from the Shreik Show label. This DVD shows more gore than the White Slave, which was the US release of the film. This film also wanted to use the title of Cannibal Holocaust 2 to promote larger sales, however, this did not happen. The movie itself is interesting as it is a supposed true story (not much on the internet about it, other than sales of the movie).

The Caligula film was interesting, however, it seems to serve to show Nazis who are interested in degrading women while stripping them naked. Perhaps instances happened, however, it was always my impression that Nazis elites actually avoided as much violence as possible so as not to be stimulated emotionally. They just gave orders, never did anything themselves. Otherwise, its a good exploitation flick. I like White Slave better.

5 out of 5 stars All five stars for Caligula Reincarnated...........2005-11-16

As a "kind of sewer" of these Italian sexplotation flicks, Capt. Freaky knows a good film when he sees one! The first of this dual DVD, "White Slave" was not worth watching or mentioning for any reason. Piss poor special effects of beheadings...no sex in the film whatsoever...and nothing to make anyone horny or subsequently enjoy themselves.

On the other hand, the second film, "Caligula Reincarnated as Hitler" was way better than what I expected. Just the exceptional location of Northern Italy's lake district gives it one star. Furthermore, the young blonde star of the film is gorgeous and someone both men and women would find attractive to sleep with. There are some five star sexual violence scenes that are unfortunately too brief. Beatings, whippings, gang raping of women prisoners, dipping naked women into vats of lime, hanging the young blonde star nude and upside down over a box of live rats! I mean, hey you "sicko" Nazi fans, is this something or what?

There are no actual hard core sex scenes, however, there are multiple simulated sex scenes that are quite hot to watch. I think there is significant sexual tension in scenes throughout this very good storyline. If you are into the whole "Nazi sex slave camp" thing....this is by far, the best of that genre I have come across. And because I only paid $9.99 for this double feature...it makes it a 5 star film for me by all catagories.

I am curious if there is an unrated or extra cut film out there of this, as another reviewer hinted at? If so, and they showed more actual sex, that would be the one to purchase.

4 out of 5 stars Fantastic movie!.......2003-11-15

I admit that after reading Grave's "I Claudius" and "Claudius the God", the notion of Emperor Claudius merely acting out his stupidity as to survive the intrigues of his evil family seemed plausible. Oh boy, was I mislead! Caligula II made me realize that the ancient historians might have been right all along. Poor uncle Cla-Cla-Claudius was portrayed fantastically and the ever-whining centurion...oh man this movie is definately a must see. Even though I was straining to understand the muffled dialogue, being Enlish my second language making it all worse, this movie was greatly entertaining and had parts that were deliciously funny. The porn is pathetic, which in my view adds to the humour of it all. If you are a Roman history fan, this movie is the perfect refreshment after a long period of literary severity.

caligula died in the first one that was the end of the story

2 out of 5 stars Italian historical sex farce comedy.......2003-03-28

This film is not a sequel to the famous Guccione "Caligula" with Malcolm McDowell etc. It is not even a real sequel to the "Caligula" with Laura Gesmer and David Haughton (ASIN: 6303364438), which is released on video and DVD by the same company. The only connection is that they use the same sets! Caligula is not even in this movie!

This film follows the stories of the Emperor Claudius, trying to run the empire while passing gas (on doctor's orders) all the time and hopelessly in love with his wife, the Empress Messalina, who is having sex every man in Rome except her husband, a traveller who has come to rome looking for a good time, and a Roman con-man. There are several funny scenes involving sexual situations, such as the con-man convincing the traveller that a Christian's home is a brothel, and the Empress, disguised as a prostitute, attempting to act out every sexual position illustrated in pictures on the wall ("do them all and it's free...wait, I think you missed one...well, we'll just have to start over..."). It all ends in a comedic bloodbath when Claudius comes home early and finds an orgy in the palace.

For all it's eroticism, this is not a "porno" flick, in that it is not just about sex for sex's sake. It's a sex comedy, where most of the humor involves sex or sexual situations. It is also a historical farce, satirizing the Roman Empire and other Roman Empire movies. It's funny both for the comedy, and for how "bad" this movie is. It is badly dubbed, badly acted and the effects are really cheezy. Not a timeless masterpiece, but somewhat amusing.

1 out of 5 stars trash in trash out.......2002-10-10

horrible ,disgusting a piece of good film wasted but when you trying to make money of a classic story (who are they )the producer.the original story caligula i love and thought they would finish the story . ps what a waste.

1 out of 5 stars Intermedia Video Pro released the worst DVD I have seen.......2001-03-29

Not that I dislike the movie, but the DVD transfer looks even worse than a BAD video tape. Aspect ratio is 4:3 of course, colours are at maximum wash-out level, and the extremely grainy picture even JUMPS at times!! The English dubbing is muffled. The film itself is enjoyable only for fans of Italian stupidity. No extras. No Italian soundtrack. I would think that this is cut, for there's nothing truly ofensive in it.

1 out of 5 stars Absolute Garbage.......2003-10-12

Save your money,your time and your sanity!This movie is a waste of all of the above.

1 out of 5 stars Absolute Waste Of Film.......2003-10-12

Poor quality,crap dubbing,totally out of synch.....I shall refrain from using expletives..Save your money!!

1 out of 5 stars Poor, heavily-edited DVD is a joke, see it uncut PLEASE!.......2002-06-17

My low score is due mainly to the atrocious DVD release, not the film itself. Why does this DVD bite? Let me count the ways...
1.) Not widescreen
2.) Edited to pieces! The original was much more gory and had several HARDCORE ... scenes.
3.) Poor picture and sound.
The film itself isn't a classic by any means, but this release makes matters worse. Try to get a hold of an uncut version (available from many cult video dealers) and judge the film that way. Even the amazing Laura Gemser couldn't save this mess of a DVD, but I gave it one star just because she's in it. :)

1 out of 5 stars a waist of money.......2001-10-09

having watched the original film before, i was shocked with all the cuts they have made to this movie. all the good sex has been slashed, don`t waist your money buying this movie.

2 out of 5 stars BRING BACK BOBBY GUCCIONE!.......2001-05-16

This film takes a lot of its' substance from Tinto Brass' epic 'Caligula' (1980) but is rather more gratuitous and lacks the stylishness of Donati's set-design which for me makes the latter beautiful to look at. I know that now. Malcolm MacDowell played the emperor consumately and its hard to imagine Martine Stephano or Bruce Willis playing Caligula with such sangfroid. This is another auteur offering that attempts to be 'historicaloso' but has more in common with that horrible stream of cak that comes from America & that degenerate English ex-colony Hong Kong. If you are a fan of Joe D'Amato you will appreciate it on a better level; being a Tinto Brass fan I'm biased toward the first attempt to make a film about Caligula. Incidentally, he was no worse than Nero or Domitian. Domitian was as sadistic as the others and would laugh hysterically at the executions of his enemies, while making their families watch. If the families did'nt join in the laughter, he had them branded with hot irons and made them laugh as they were being tortured. If they screamed he'd have them killed. ...Julius Caesar was a cross-dresser with a love of wine ... It was thus common in these times for the ruling elite to act like raving [people]; as they do now. A terrible film about a terrible topic.

      Product Description

      ***CALIGULA (Uncut 20th Anniversary Edition): The complete uncut, unabridged version. The rise and fall of the notorious Roman Emperor Caligula, showing the insanity of his reign - he gives his horse political office, humiliates and executes anyone who even slightly displeases him. He sleeps with his sister, organizes elaborate orgies and embarks on a fruitless invasion of England before meeting an appropriate end. Only for the most open-minded. ***NIGHT PORTER (Unrated Edition): Thirteen years after WWII a concentration camp survivor (Rampling) and her tormentor, currently the night porter at a Vienna hotel, meet again and fall back into their sado-masochistic relationship. ***BAISE MOI (Rape me): Uncut. It has to be way outside the pale to have been banned in France. Controversial for its violence and real sex scenes: a vividly nihilist road movie set in France. Almost joyful in its senseless violence and depravity.

          Product Description

          CALIGULA: Caligula may very well be the most controversial film in history. Only one movie dares to show the perversion behind Imperial Rome, and that movie is Caligula, the epic story of Rome's mad emperor. All the details of his cruel, bizarre reign are revealed right here: His unholy sexual passion for his sister, his marriage to Rome's most infamous prostitute, his fiendishly inventive means of disposing those who would opposse him, and more. The combined talents of cinematic giants Malcom McDowell, Peter O'Toole, John Gielgud and shakespearean actress Helen Mirren, along with an acclaimed international cast and a bevy of beautiful Penthouse Pets, make this unique historical drama a masterwork of the screen. Not for the squeamish, not for the prudish, Caligula will shock and arouse you as it reveals the deviance and decadence beneath the surface of the grandeur that once was Rome. P. O. TINTO BRASS: This film is a visualization of letters, photos and video cassettes sent by women to a newspapers for advice and inspiration. The film brings to life the confessions, the secret longings, the adventures, recollections, dreams, desires and fantasies of these women. Most women (and men) wish they had the courage to pursue their dreams - their desire for forbidden affairs, yearning for secret lovers and hunger for spontaneous trysts with strangers they will never meet again. Here these dreams, these yearnings, these hungers, are brought to life - far surpassing the wantonness they envisioned.
