comment |
Does This Remind You of Anything?: A guy from South Asia tries to cross the Channel to start a new life in Britannia. Roman soldiers patrol on the beaches of Gaul to control the migration. It is an obvious reference to the present situation of migrants in Europe. |

| Asterix & Obelix: God Save Britannia / int_1dfbbf31 |
comment |
Heterosexual Life-Partners: Deconstructed. Asterix realizes his friendship with Obelix has prevented him from having any other serious relationship, in particular a romantic one. So he distances himself from Obelix and he (unsuccessfully) tries to charm British girls. In the meantime, Obelix manages to charm Miss Macintosh. Reconstruction in the end. Obelix realizes that friendship is important to him. He goes back to Asterix and reconcile with him. |

Mythology Gag: Asterix (played by Édouard Baer) asks the executioner if executioner is a good job. In a previous installment, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, Édouard Baer played a scribe and Getafix asked him if scribe is a good job. |

Unrelated in the Adaptation |
| Asterix & Obelix: God Save Britannia / int_3de32c52 |
comment |
Unrelated in the Adaptation: In the comic that it's primarily based on, Asterix in Britain, as well as its animated adaptation, Anticlimax is Asterix's cousin. In the live-action movie, they aren't related at all, seeing how neither of them recognize the other during the first scene they share together. |

Did They or Didn't They?: Obelix kisses the hand of Miss Macintosh. The contact between their bodies creates a big electric arc. In the next scene, Obelix tells Asterix that he is very glad to have done it, that he feels different since he has done it, that maybe one day Asterix will have the opportunity to do it too... |

Shout-Out |
| Asterix & Obelix: God Save Britannia / int_c75df49a |
comment |
Shout-Out: The French title translates as "On Her Majesty's Service". Asterix tries then to trick Tetedepiaf into escaping: he is left alone, but he still does not escape. So Asterix opens a door from the outside to clearly show Tetedepiaf that it is possible for him to escape, but he still does not. The same thing happens to Michel Clément (Coluche) in Inspector Blunder. When Ophelia tells Anticlimax that real courage is daring to tell his true feelings. Asterix quotes Beaumarchais (The Marriage of Figaro): "Ô femme! femme! femme! créature faible et décevante!" ("Oh Woman, Woman, Woman! Inconstant, weak, deceitful Woman!") |
