Malcolm McDowell as Caligula in CALIGULA (1979)
At last years Cannes Film Festival, a new cut of CALIGULA, called THE ULTIMATE CUT, was shown. I got a copy of this cut in HD. It was released on Blu-ray in Spain in January 2024. This cut is apparently totally different.
“Another feat is that not a single shot from the original film was used, which makes “Caligula – The Ultimate Cut” a completely new feature film.”
So they had 96 hours of footage and re-edited a brand new film out of that.
Tinto Brass, the director, is apparently getting ready to sue Penthouse Films over this new cut.
Seriously, I don't know how many cuts this film has. I can't keep track.

Is it any better than the original?
This must be the 'peplum' with the most versions. There are at least 42 listed at the site below and counting:
