Caligula: Package of Excellence
A six part series exploring the making, and remaking, of 1980s Caligula, one of the most reviled, star-studded, and universally discussed XXX films ever made.
Using new and recently uncovered interviews, never-before-heard on set audio, and stories from the people who watched the disaster unfold fist hand, it's a tale too crazy to be fiction.
The original trailer said "No rumor could match the reality."
They didn't know the half of it.

Episode 2 - Horses and Mastiffs and Birds, Oh My!
So how out of control were things on the set of Caligula?
Was a man killed by a half drugged horse? Was an actress mauled? Was a star almost drowned? Was someone having sex with a live eel? And did the director actually say he wanted to screw the producers and was intent on making the "worst film" ever?
And finally, perhaps more to the point, how did it all get so crazy?
If you guessed money, you'd be right.
Episode 2 goes behind the curtain on a project that seemed to be coming off the rails even before it left the station.
Plus we'll look at how the original efforts to recut the film were sidelined when new owners came in.
