GAY BLOWJOB SCENE CALIGULA MOVIE
Vidal disowned the movie because Brass and Malcolm McDowell changed the point of view of his screenplay. Brass disowned it because Guccione locked him out of the editing room (some in the industry suspect it was because Brass didn't want to use Guccione's hardcore inserts) after assembling the first forty minutes (which was probably disassembled shortly afterward).

Guccione then proceeded to edit the movie, but he often chose shots that were never meant to be included (the many zooms, out-of-focus shots, et cetera), and also cut up certain scenes and put them in the wrong order. A prime example is Caligula's nightmare scene with Drusilla, which now occurs in a part of the movie that would have been quite impossible dramatically, and is actually the first half of an earlier scene, which occurs just after the credits (together, the two scenes were meant to be the opening of the movie, and the current opening in which Caligula and Drusilla enjoy a romp through a forest was intended for an entirely different purpose altogether, and was meant to occur much later). Several different versions of this movie have been circulated: (1) It was originally released in the U.K. with a running time of two hours and twenty-nine minutes, with the hardcore sex replaced by alternate footage inserted by the distributor. release (and now legal version) has a PAL running time of one hour and thirty-eight minutes (approximately one hour and forty-two minute movie/NTSC) and is the same as the older R-rated version in the U.S. The original two hour and twenty-nine minute cut is now highly sought after. (2) A one hour and forty-five minute R-rated version was released in the U.S. This version also used alternate footage and angles in the hardcore sex scenes and during scenes of graphic violence. (3) The official "uncut" version runs two hours and thirty-six minutes, and includes about six minutes of re-shoots by producer Bob Guccione. (4) In 1984, the movie was re-cut and re-released in Italy under the title "Io, Caligola". It ran two hours and thirteen minutes and was cut to two hours and three minutes by the Italian censors. When released on home video, some of the hardcore footage shot by Bob Guccione was reinserted into the movie. (5) The second (and current) R-rated version was released in 199, and used no alternate footage or angles, with the same shots repeating several times to mask the cuts in the movie. The rumors of a three hour and thirty minute version screened at the Cannes Film Festival in 1979 are untrue. When editor Nino Baragli and producer Bob Guccione cut the movie together, several scenes were truncated and cut into the movie seemingly randomly. A few examples of scenes made fragmented in editing: (1) The opening is a fragment of a scene that was meant to occur immediately following Tiberius' death (this is why Caligula is clean-shaven in this scene, but has a beard in the next). It was supposed to depict Caligula and Drusilla enjoying their new freedom as they no longer need to worry about being seen by Tiberius' informers. The scene is almost certainly shorter than it was intended to be, and thus is now a meaningless fragment.
