His name literally translates as “Little Boots”, but Rome’s most notorious emperor and the Penthouse-magazine-produced film he inspired made an impact on popular culture and deviant sex that can only be described as massive and eternal.

And on this date in 2007, Caligula finally arrived on DVD in The Imperial Edition.

The exquisite release contained multiple versions of the movie, individual commentaries from stars Malcolm McDowell and Helen Mirren, an interview with director Tinto Brass, two making-of documentaries, hours of deleted scenes and alternate takes, trailers, hundreds of photographs, and superstar author Gore Vidal’s original screenplay.

For fans of this one-of-a-kind epic of the perverse, Caligula: The Imperial Edition was the answer to countless prayers offered up to the Roman gods of orgies, Teresa Ann Savoy, and all manner of other indulgences. Long may it make togas rise.
