Development began under producer Franco Rossellini, the nephew of filmmaker Roberto Rossellini. The magazine's founder Bob Guccione wanted to produce an explicit adult film within a feature film narrative that had high production values he decided to produce a film about the rise and fall of the Roman emperor Caligula. The men's magazine Penthouse had long been involved in film funding, helping invest in films made by other studios, including Chinatown, The Longest Yard and The Day of the Locust, but it had never produced a film on its own.

With his final breath, the Emperor defiantly whimpers 'I live!' as Caligula and his family's bodies are thrown down the stadium's steps and their blood is washed off the marble floor. Caesonia and Julia are murdered, and Chaerea stabs Caligula in the stomach.
The next morning, after rehearsing an Egyptian play, Caligula and his family are attacked in a coup headed by Chaerea. Another blackbird appears but only Caesonia is frightened of it. Caligula enters his bedroom where a nervous Caesonia awaits him.
