PRODUCT INFORMATION
Despite its controversial reception due to its graphic content and historical inaccuracies, CALIGULA remains a provocative exploration of the depths of human corruption and the consequences of absolute power. With a stellar cast including Malcolm McDowell, Helen Mirren, and Peter O'Toole, the film remains a cult classic for its audacious portrayal of ancient Rome's darkest moments. Watch all five cuts, including a 4K HDR remastered version lovingly put together by producer Thomas Negovan using previously unused footage.
Released in 1980 after years of delay, CALIGULA remains notoriously famous for its nightmarish filming, budget-blowing delays and artistic differences, resulting in a hybridised yet still scandalously violent and erotic film. More than forty years later, you can now watch the painstakingly restored cut with previously unreleased scenes. CALIGULA delves into the debauched reign of the Roman emperor Gaius Caligula, infamous for his tyranny and extravagance. Produced by Bob Guccione of Penthouse Magazine, the film offers a lurid depiction of Caligula's descent into madness, exploring – through historical drama and explicit erotica - his incestuous relationships, sadistic tendencies, and megalomaniacal desires for power.

Shipping
No, we only ship inside the US
Most orders for in-stock items take less than 24 hours to ship (may take longer if you place an order over the weekend). Pre-orders are shipped as soon as the product arrives. International pre-orders may not come in before the street date. This is especially true with Australian pre-orders.
We only use USPS for all shipments. If there is an issue after your order ships you will need to contact your local post office.
Product
All items that come with a slipcover will say so in the product page.
Pre-orders will not say WITH SLIPCOVER until the product comes in.
Slipcovers are not guaranteed to be in mint condition.
If you can order it, it's either in stock or a pre-order. If an item is out of stock you will not be able to add it to your cart. It's rare but our inventory may not be correct. So in some cases an item may have to be shipped separately.
