Asterix Versus Caesar (Astérix et la surprise de César in French, literally "Asterix and Caesar's surprise") is a 1985 French animated film based on the Asterix comics and directed by Paul and Gaëtan Brizzi. Vladimir Cosma composed the soundtrack and Belgian singer Plastic Bertrand performed the theme song.When Panacea and Tragicomix are taken captive by the Romans and shipped to a distant outpost in the Sahara, Asterix and Obelix embark on a journey to rescue the couple. Their adventure sees them sign up as legionaries, and eventually track the two to Rome, where they are to be thrown to the lions during a grand show to honor Caesar’s many successful conquests.The film was followed by Asterix in Britain, made by the same studio, with the same main voice actors in French. | |

Artistic License – Gun Safety | |
| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_10134c97 | comment |
Artistic License – Gun Safety: Spear safety, at least. Pilum practice places the target on a direct line between the legionnaires and an open door. Obelix accidentally hits someone when his spear goes through the target. Mind you, the door was probably thought to be out of range for anybody without Super-Strength. | |

Darker and Edgier | |
| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_14beeefd | comment |
Darker and Edgier: Beyond stuff like the Attempted Rape of Panacea, the darkest depiction of the streets of Rome in the series and Asterix almost drowning while in prison, the tone of the movie in general is much more serious that what's typical for an Asterix adventure. Other things include the Gauls standard thrashing the camp scene being treated as a borderline Mook Horror Show, and Caesarnote whose normal status as The Comically Serious is completely absent being heavily implied to have actually fed Caius to the lions at the end. | |

Drowning Pit | |
| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_1e7f218c | comment |
Drowning Pit: The prison in Rome where Asterix is thrown in after his capture unintentionally becomes one when, during a severe rainstorm, a lightning destroys part of the roof, allowing water to freely enter the cell (which is below ground level). Obelix saves him in the nick of time. | |

Adaptational Villainy | |
| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_20f689e9 | comment |
Adaptational Villainy: Downplayed. The slave trader who sells Panacea and Tragicomix to Caius Fatuous is clearly Ekonomikrisis, the Phoenician merchant who was an ally of Asterix and Obelix (though still somewhat shady) in Asterix the Gladiator. However, in the comic he was still a slave trader, and originally planned on selling Asterix and Obelix. While his role in the story is more villainous here, he is no worse in-universe. | |

Uncertain Doom | |
| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_2854b56d | comment |
Uncertain Doom: Caius Fatuous is last seen barely hanging above a hungry lion, his ultimate fate is left unknown, but given Caesar's threat, that Caius would be fed to his own lions if the games go wrong, it doesn't look good for him. Such fate would also be a Karmic Death, as he planned to do the same to prisoners. | |

| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: Redbeard and his pirate crew are surprisingly absent, even though they appeared in both comics the movie is based off (Gladiator was their debut, even), and Asterix and Obelix travel by ship during the events of the movie. For Asterix the Legionary, the Egyptian and Greek legionary trainees are removed and replaced by a Spaniard instead. The movie also omits the subplot about the Roman Civil War between Caesar and Metellus Scipio. | |

Out of the Frying Pan | |

Out of the Frying Pan: Tragicomix and Panacea are initially taken to a Roman camp in the Sahara as forced conscripts. They escape in a stolen chariot, after the latter was nearly sexually assaulted by a Roman officer. Their next scene sees them staggering away from the now-wrecked chariot, overcome by thirst and heat exhaustion with vultures circling above them. On the verge of death,they are taken captive again, this time by slave traders who take them to Rome, where they are bought by Caius Fatuous to be thrown for the lions during the upcoming games in the circus. | |

| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_5ee26f31 | comment |
Adaptation Amalgamation: The movie combines the plots of Asterix the Legionary (Asterix and Obelix signing up for the Roman army to rescue Tragicomix in North Africa, with the addition of Panacea having to be rescued as well) and Asterix the Gladiator (Asterix and Obelix traveling to Rome and becoming gladiators, again to rescue someone, in this case Tragicomix and Panacea), as well as taking some minor plot elements from Asterix in Corsica (the decurion who kidnaps Tragicomix and Panacea is clearly based on Courtingdisastus from that story, as is the rest of the local legionaries being Lazy Bums). | |

Adaptation Explanation Extrication: The Romans didn't really do conscription (as they thought people not wanting to fight made poor soldiers), something acknowledged in Asterix the Legionary and explained as a sign of Caesar getting desperate in his civil war with Metellus Scipio. With said subplot axed, though, the movie gives no explanation for why the Roman Army would accept captured Gauls. | |

Animation Bump | |
| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_7ea2a915 | comment |
Animation Bump: While The Twelve Tasks of Asterix had already seen a major improvement in animation quality, it still contained a few moments of Limited Animation and other obvious short-cuts. Here, we see the series really hit its stride in that regard, with the animation being much more consistent, detailed, and ambitious, to the point where the only one of the subsequent traditionally animated Asterix films to surpass it in quality was Asterix and the Vikings, which benefited from a higher budget and two decades' worth of technical advances. | |

Ascended Extra: In the two comics the movie is based on, Panacea and Tragicomix only appeared in Asterix the Legionary. And even in that story, Panacea was a supporting character who only appeared at the start and end of the story, and Tragicomix, even though his rescue was what drove the plot, only appeared in person during the last act. In this movie, both are present throughout the entire plot. | |

Foreign Queasine | |
| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_ce1d78bc | comment |
Foreign Queasine: The Roman army serves a nauseating concoction of oatmeal, cheese rinds and fat all cooked together to its soldiers, who get a double portion on Sundays, under the principle that angry soldiers fight better. Only the British recruit likes the stuff. Asterix and Obelix are so disgusted they threaten the cook to start making proper food. | |

Contrived Coincidence: Panacea and Tragicomix wander aimlessly in the desert and are found by slave traders. Later on, Asterix and Obelix go into the desert to find them and run into the same slave traders. | |

Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique | |
| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_e154ff08 | comment |
Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique: When Asterix and Obelix track down the slave trader who sold Tragicomix and Panacea to Caius Fatuous and demand to know where the two are now, the man tries to make a profit by demanding Asterix and Obelix pay him for the information. Obelix proceeds to hammer him into the ground. When he's buried up to his neck, he finally tells the Gauls what they want to know. | |

| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_eb81c601 | comment |
Big Damn Heroes: Just as all the Gauls are about to be attacked by the lions, with Asterix having lost his potion flask and Obelix too depressed about Dogmatix being missing to fight, Dogmatix runs into the arena - bringing the gourd full of magic potion with him. | |

Distracted by the Sexy: Panacea has this effect on Obelix, causing him to blunder into things and knock them over. In the circus, it leads to Obelix running head first into a wall, destroying a large part of the building. | |

Attempted Rape | |
| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_f85354eb | comment |
Attempted Rape: While Panacea is forced to work in the mess tent in the legion camp in the Sahara, a guest of the commander assaults her. She fights him off, then Tragicomix (who had seen it through the tent wall) fights past his guards, steals a chariot, and the two flee the camp. | |

Darkest Hour | |
| Asterix Versus Caesar / int_f91d1d4f | comment |
Darkest Hour: During the storm scene in Rome; Asterix is locked up in a prison that is flooding with water, causing him to nearly drown. Dogmatix is flushed through the sewers, and Obelix desperately searches for both of them. It's easily the darkest moment in all Asterix history. Near the end, Asterix, Obelix, Tragicomix and Panacea are all in the circus about to be fed to the lions. Asterix lost his gourd and thus can't provide himself or Tragicomix with magic potion, and Obelix is too depressed due to Dogmatix gone missing to put up a fight. | |

Running Gag | |

Running Gag: Obelix asking Asterix if a certain person is a friend or not before beating them up (he got confused about whom he's allowed to beat and who not due to the two of them having to pose as legionaries for a while). | |

Comically Missing the Point: During spear training at the Roman military academy, Obelix throws a spear straight through the sandbag, which flies into the kitchen and accidentally hits the cook, who thinks the cadets are impatiently waiting for the food to be done. | |
