* MickeyMousing: The Place That Sends You Mad especially has music which speed varies depending on the action occurring on screen. It gets slower and slower as Asterix and Obelix are climbing the stairs and they become more and more exhausted. Then it gets much faster when they are climbing down, and punctuates their search for the A-38 permit as it gets frantic.

* RageBreakingPoint: When Asterix and Obelix have trouble sleeping upon the arrival of an undead Roman garrison, Obelix is freaked out about not being able to punch them. Asterix, on the other hand? He's simply annoyed by the noise they're making (not remotely caring that they are ghosts) and rants to their centurion about wanting some sleep after every trial that preceded this incident, then tells him to shut up.

* ArtisticLicenceMythology: During the aforementioned scene of Caesar telling the story of Hercules, the last labor is stated to be "freeing Theseus from the Underworld". While Hercules did free Theseus from the underworld, that was not the actual labor; the labor was kidnapping Cerberus the guard dog of the Underworld. In the Polish dub, this is corrected and Caesar mentions this deed (even though, it doesn't match the image on the pottery).
