Caligula was actually directed by one Tinto Brass, who claimed that Guccione messed with his film by re-editing and adding new scenes. But Brass has directed other bad, big-budget (for Europe) sexploitation films, so his claims that the film was ruined by Guccione's meddling are pretty suspect.

Incidentally, Caligula was a big hit in Europe, and spawned a number of even worse (imagine!) rip-offs which tried to out-gross and out-pervert it. One of them featured a scene with a horse which must have inspired Tom Green when he did Freddy Got Fingered, the Caligula of the 21st century.
