Storyline

Trivia
The movie is based on the books "Asterix the Legionary" and "Asterix the Gladiator". Apart from that, many minor characters in the movie are from other Asterix stories. For instance, the over-ambitious legionary is from "Asterix on Corsica", while the tradesman who sells Panacea and Tragicomix in Rome has the same appearance as a recurring Phoenician salesman.

Goofs
The gladiator fight takes place in the Colosseum, which was built more than a century after Julius Caesar's death.

Alternate versions
As a bonus feature for the German DVD release, each Asterix film was given a new dubbing in a German dialect. This film was dubbed in Berlinerisch.

Flawless. And SciFi, please.

I don't understand the <7× rating, this is my absolute favourite Asterix film. The plot device to visit Rome is flawless, the drawn characters feel more real than life action, and all slapstick (!) lands! If anyone asked me what an "Asterix" is, I would show them this exact movie. Perfection. Going forward, I would want Asterix and Obelix to visit space. Let's fast forward, it's no more 50BC but AD50 and the two mount a spaceship. After all, an alien did visit them in one of the most recent comic books. The Asterix spirit won't disapappear: The original Star Trek show and the show Stargate, both, have plenty of references to ancient Greek gods. Let Asterix find a few tribes that left earth long ago.
