Caligula was dead on accurate on three things:

There was an Emperor named Tiberius.

There was an Emperor nicknamed Caligula.

There was a Roman Empire.

Beyond that I dont think there was much else. I saw it while I was an undergrad at the disreputable cult film place just off campus. You might get a cleaned-up version from some underground film specialist, or try your local porn store. However, as my History professor remarked, it was not even good porn.

Thanks for the reply.

I thought as much. I should have been weary about Hollywood no matter when a film was made.

Yeah -- but it's got Helen Mirren in it, so it's not all bad. :lol:

Is there any film historically accurate? :lol:

Indeed! :twisted:


It also has Peter O'Toole and Sir John Gielgud who thought they were in another film altogether...


Oh...Mods -- you should probably move this to Reviews or Off Topic.
