The child-birth scene where Caesonia (Helen Mirren) gives birth, was an actual child-birth, which was filmed in three takes using three different pregnant women extras and later edited together. Extras assisting the births were real doctors, who said they were indeed equipped with all the modern tools they would need to ensure safety for the women and babies despite in full ancient Roman clothing.
Dame Helen Mirren described this movie as "an irresistible mix of art and genitals". Although many actors would regret their involvement with the film, Mirren has remained proud of her role as "the most promiscuous woman in all of Rome", as she believed European Cinema was reaching a benchmark in sex positivity and "it was the time to do nudity". She was, however, taken aback with the film's hardcore footage.
This movie took nearly four years to make, and another two years to have been distributed worldwide.
At the time, this movie was the most expensive independent movie ever made. To this day, it remains the most expensive and highest grossing adult film ever made.
Director Tinto Brass originally wanted to cast actual criminals in conditional sentence as the Roman Senators and ugly women in the sex scenes to shock the viewers. The result was producer Bob Guccione firing Brass.
"[first lines] Caligula: I have existed from the morning of the world and I shall exist until the last star falls from the night. Although I have taken the form of Gaius Caligula, I am all men as I am no man and therefore I am a God."
"[after Macro is decapitated] Caligula: If only all of Rome had just one neck."
