Notes[]
- Only the voice actors for Asterix, Obelix, Getafix, Julius Caesar, Lucullus and the narrator are credited, while all of the supporting actors in the film were uncredited.
- The Romans are given stereotypical Italian accents in the English dub, similar to the US dub of Asterix & the Big Fight.
- Despite the dub using a British voice cast, according to Rupert Degas, they were actually flown out to Germany to record the dialogue rather than recording the dialogue in Britain.
