Caligula: 4-disc Imperial Edition (10/02) (1 Viewer)

It is difficult to gauge the quality of the "look" of the film based on the video releases over the past 25 years or so - it has never been transferred to video properly IMHO. It has in fact looked ugly and cheap because the transfers (up to now??) have been ugly and cheap. A good HD transfer won't make the film any better, but hopefully we can see what it was supposed to look like.

Quite ture. But the film looked like crap in theaters, too. I know, I actually sat through a screening during the original release.

I think it stands to reason that most of the folks here want the software they buy to be the best possible presentation. Just because you don't like a film doesn't mean that others shouldn't want the best that can be delivered.

DVD Beaver has a review.
I probably would have shelled out for this if it had included the soundtrack, which is unavailable on CD as far as I know.
Since it doesn't, I'll probably pass.

I don't agree with Gary, but he hasn't seen the original disc. This transfer looks like a revelation.

the whole original footage has been found but then it was never restored.
