Short description

Astérix and Obélix have to win the Olympic Games in order to help their friend Alafolix marry Princess Irina. Brutus uses every trick in the book to have his own team win the game, and get rid of his father Julius Caesar in the process.

What's left behind the scenes

Filming began on June 19, 2006, and for a while took place in the Fontainebleau forest, but the film crew soon found themselves at a studio in Alicante, where an Olympic stadium had already been erected.
Like Caesar in this film, Alain Delon often speaks about himself in the third person.
Real athletes appeared in cameo roles in the film: racing driver Michael Schumacher, tennis player Amélie Mauresmo, basketball player Tony Parker, and footballer Zinedine Zidane (although initially it was assumed that it would be David Beckham).
