I remember seeing a movie when I was younger. It was the early years of the church, Peter was crucified upside down, what movie was this? I think it may have been a spin off of Jesus of Nazereth. It was on TV, a mini series, 15 years or more ago.
 
Peter WAS crucified upside down. He requested so himself, because he felt he was not worthy to die the same way as the Saviour.
 
There’s a brief shot of Peter on his cross, upside down, in the the 1950’s version of Quo Vadis (featuring the late, always great Sir Peter Ustinov playing the Emperor Nero)
 
The made for TV movie in question was “Peter & Paul” staring Anthony Hopkins as Paul and Robert Foxworth as Peter. It was made in 1981 and did show Peter’s death on the cross.

Hope this helps.
