Did You Know?
| Trivia | Originally planned to be aired on French television but instead it was released as a theatrical feature film. It was made without the knowledge or involvement of Goscinny and Uderzo, and they were unable to stop the production and release of the film in time. Instead they ordered production halted on the sequel 'Asterix and the Golden Sickle', and worked with the production company, Belvision, on the next film 'Asterix and Cleopatra'. See more » |
| Goofs | In the UK version of the film, at the end you can see the English voice cast list, but it's actually Asterix and the Big Fight (1989)'s voice cast. See more » |
