History YMMV / AsterixAndCleopatra

* FranchiseOriginalSin: The following live-action movies are often criticized (among other things) for their overabundance of cameos and guest stars, which relies too much on the real actor's fame, and for turning Asterix and Obelix into secondary characters of their own film. However, both of these trends actually started with this movie. The movie features many minor characters, often played by famous actors or comedians at the time in France or members of the director Alain Chabat's company. While the key scenes of the comicbook featuring Asterix, Obelix, and Getafix are kept, it can be argued that the main character is actually Edifis.

* SequelDisplacement: It is still considered the very best live-action ''Asterix'' film to the point the original is either barely remembered or completely forgotten.
* ToughActToFollow: So far, none of the following ''Asterix'' films (''Film/AsterixAtTheOlympicGames'', ''Film/AsterixAndObelixGodSaveBritannia'' and ''Asterix & Obelix: The Middle Kingdom'') have been as well received and as massively successful as this one.

** The 2002 LiveActionAdaptation ''Film/AsterixAndObelixMissionCleopatra'' by Creator/AlainChabat was also regarded as a considerable improvement over ''Film/AsterixAndObelixTakeOnCaesar'', and is still considered the best out of the four ''Asterix'' live-action films thus far as well as a landmark in French comedy films in general and ''the'' French big budget comedy every other French big budget comedy is inevitably compared to.

* AmericansHateTingle: While the film was a smash hit that surpassed ''Film/AsterixAndObelixTakeOnCaesar'' at the French box office, it grosses less than the first worldwide.

* EvenBetterSequel: A rare, possibly even unique instance of this trope applying to the same basic story across three different forms of media:

* MemeticMutation: The film had quite a few memorable gags and lines that lingered in French pop culture.

** Edifis/Numerobis' constant {{Malaproper}} lines, such as "[[Franchise/StarWars droid]]" when he means "druid", or him never getting Getafix/Panoramix's name right.

* AdaptationDisplacement: It's not uncommon among French people to remember the Arsenic Cake VillainSong (or Obelix's song to a lesser extent). Few would be able to tell it's ''not'' in the comic book.
