    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The new character Cylindric the German is a very polite and sympathetic character. This was a decision made by Albert Uderzo who regretted the book "Asterix and the Goths" where all the Germans Asterix met were incredibly aggressive, warlike and far from friendly.
    • Goofs
      When Julius Caesar lists the Twelve Labours of Hercules, several of them are wrong, namely Hercules killing Geryones and Diomedes and Hercules freeing Theseus from the underworld. Hercules killed Geryones while having to steal his cows; when Hercules had to steal Diomedes's men-eating horses he fed Diomedes to the horses; Hercules went into the underworld to capture the multi-headed dog Cerberus, during which he also rescued the captive Theseus.
    • Quotes
      • Jules César: Brutus, stop playing with that knife. You'll end up hurting someone.
    • Crazy credits
      The Studio Idefix logo is in the form of the MGM logo, but it features Dogmatix in the logo and bears a Roman laurel wreath; the Latin inscription reads "Delirant isti Romani" ("These Romans are crazy.")
    • 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 Bavarian.

      Featured in Troldspejlet: Episode #6.5 (1992)
