* The first live-action ''{{ComicBook/Asterix}}'' film combines plots of several of the comics, including Obelix getting a crush on [[SheIsAllGrownUp Panacea]] as he did in "Recap/AsterixTheLegionary", the phony soothsayer from "Recap/AsterixAndTheSoothsayer", the {{Druid}} conference from "Recap/AsterixAndTheGoths", Getafix's [[KidnappedScientist abduction]] by the Romans to make the [[SuperSerum magic potion]] for them from "Recap/AsterixTheGaul" and the characters fighting in GladiatorGames like in "Recap/AsterixTheGladiator". There is also a number of smaller references from other comics, including a conversation between Brutus and [[Creator/GaiusJuliusCaesar Caesar]] that is taken from "Recap/AsterixAndCleopatra" and the BigBad, Lucius Detritus is partially based on Tullius Detritus, the main antagonist of "Recap/AsterixAndTheRomanAgent" (Tortuous Convolvulus in the English translation of the comic). The sequels also combine elements from various comics but not nearly as many as the first.

I have a feeling that the 2005 ''{{ComicBook/Iznogoud}}'' film is similar. I'll do some research unless someone beats me to it.
