2008 film
- Approval of God: Albert Uderzo liked Clovis Cornillac's performance as Asterix very much.
- Awesome, Dear Boy: Alexandre Astier considers this his favorite Asterix film... because he was in it.
- Creator Backlash: Benoît Poelvoorde has particularly awful memories of the filming.
- The Other Darrin:
- Christian Clavier didn't come back as Asterix after Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra and Clovis Cornillac replaced him.
- Alain Delon replaced Alain Chabat as Julius Caesar from the same film.
- Jean-Pierre Cassel replaced Claude Rich as Getafix from the same film.
- Franck Dubosc replaced Pierre Palmade as Cacofonix from Asterix & Obelix Take on Caesar.
- Posthumous Credit: Jean-Pierre Cassel passed away in 2007, the film was released in 2008.
- Real-Life Relative: Gérard Depardieu's niece Delphine Depardieu had a role in the film as Irina's maid.
- Role Reprise:
- Gérard Depardieu came back as Obelix.
- Jamel Debbouze came back as Edifis.
- Sim came back as Geriatrix from Asterix & Obelix Take on Caesar (he didn't appear in the second film).
- From the same film, Jean-Pierre Castaldi came back as Caius Bonus.
- What Could Have Been: Actor/director/writer Gérard Jugnot was the first to develop a third Asterix film, and planned to adapt Asterix in Spain. Those plans didn't pan out and Asterix at the Olympic Games was adapted instead. Jugnot didn't direct nor wrote it in the end, but he got a role in the following film, Asterix & Obelix: God Save Britannia.
