Hilarious in Hindsight: On one panel, an outraged Greek woman appears and announces that one day women will participate in the Olympic Games, to which one of the men in the queue sarcastically replies "Yes, and I suppose they'll be driving chariots too!". Asterix and the Chariot Race shows two princesses from the kingdom of Kush as participants in the race, showing that this man was very wrong when he said those words.
2008 Film
Critic-Proof: The film grossed 6.7 million cinema admissions in its run despite being critically savaged, though it still was significantly less than the 14.5 million of Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra.
