The first "R" rated version. This was first released in October of after it seemed unlikely that the film could make its money back in an X rated form. This version ran for minutes, featured many alternate angles, and cut many scenes for the purpose of continuity and pacing.
This version was released on video, CED, and laserdisc in January of , time compressed to minutes and with an afterword in which Bob Guccione encourages the viewer to return the R version and purchase the unrated version via the postal service. This version has not been in release in the United States since. The second "R" rated version. This version was released on DVD in , and used no alternate angles; the film was sloppily cut from the aforementioned unrated version.
However, because it eliminates many dramatic scenes that the R-rated version also eliminates, it appears to have been modeled after the previous R-rated version. However, unlike with the edit, alternate material was not available, so the uncredited editor simply repeated several shots to cover up gaps in the film. This caused for enormous lapses in continuity during some of the most graphic scenes especially in Tiberius's grotto.
This version runs minutes. In , Franco Rosselini hired the editor Enzo Micarelli to re-edit a longer, pre-release version of the film for release in Italy, which he re-titled "Io, Caligola. The ten minutes worth of cuts may explain some of the abrupt changes in music during the most explicit scenes. It contains some alternate angles and a few additional bits not found in the better-known minute "uncut" version.
As well, some of the music has been replaced with a new score by Renzo Rossellini. This version contains the following differences with the minute version: The entire film is re-dubbed into Italian. The prologue of Caligula and Drusilla in the forest is deleted.
The opening credits appear not over the "bleeding eye" logo, but over a still from the scene of Tiberius's funeral. The "Montagues and Capulets" music in the original has been replaced with a new more epic-sounding main theme by Renzo Rossellini.
The opening scene of Caligula awakening in bed with Drusilla, then being scared by a black bird is in its proper place it appeared about twenty minutes too late in the "uncut" version. However, it is missing a couple of lines of dialogue "Shh. You're safe. You're with me. Just the way he killed our father, our mother, and our brothers. After the bird is gone, there is additional dialogue between Caligula and Drusilla where they laugh about it and Drusilla telling Caligula that "it's only a bird" is a different take.
Once they're on the bed again, their conversation about Marcellus is gone causing a jump cut from Caligula fondling her hair to the two of them making out. A new establishing shot which appears to have been lensed by Franco Rossellini himself of the island of Capri is inserted between the scene in Caligula's room and the scene of Caligula being taken to the palace.
Therefore, the dissolve between the two scenes is deleted save a few frames at the end of the first scene that are just barely noticable. The scene by Tiberius's pool is altered in several places. When he first appears, Tiberius calls out "Caligula! During Caligula's dance, the shot of the musicians playing by the pool and the closeup of a boy's ass going underwater are both gone, both without regard for the music track.
Part of Claudius's laugh is overdubbed by the Italian actor who dubbed his voice, but part of it sounds like Giancarlo Badessi's original. A shot that depicted one of Tiberius's "little fishies" genitals as he kneels is awkwardly cut-it removes the kneeling only, causing a jump cut. Tiberius's dialogue on how he "protects their innocence" is cut, meaning that the scene abruptly cuts from him saying "My little fishies love me" to the boy and the girl standing beside him jumping into the pool.
Some redundant dialogue is cut toward the middle of the scene, so Tiberius now says "Heaven help Rome when I'm gone! I'm old. All the others, struck down by fate! The beginning of the shot of Caligula hugging Tiberius is trimmed, so the shot begins with Tiberius patting Caligula on the back. The grotto scene is also greatly changed. The scene of the drunk soldier being tortured with more wine is cut, as is his subsequent execution.
The end of the first cutaway in the 3-story sex building is trimmed, removing the shot of a woman's ass coming forward on a swing. The next cutaway, of a man being masturbated by a woman as reflected through a distorting mirror, is trimmed to remove the display of male genitalia.
The closeup of the nymph is gone, but she's still visible and her line of dialogue "Britain, lord" is intact. The two ends of the scene come together well enough that the resulting jump cut is hardly noticeable. The dialogue involving Tiberius asking Caligula whether he prefers "nymphs to satyrs" is deleted. The "More Conviction!
They fear me, and that is much better. It's interesting to note that the long shot of the whole building remains intact here, even though it still shows the soldier being tortured.
Oh, yes, I am a true moralist. And stern as any cato. Fate chose me to govern swine, and in my old age, I've become a swineherd. SharePoint tools are incredibly simple and intuitive, even for novice users.
