The centurion with his story that the Gauls are possible gods to Rome. Julius Caesar finds the idea ridiculous, but the Senate is the with the centurion once. To convince them that they are wrong, go personally to the village of Caesar the Gauls to explain the situation. He comes up with the idea the Gauls to submit to a test similar to thetwelve labors of Hercules: he will give them twelve tasks where normal people never would be. Caesar the Gauls succeed, it will recognize that they are gods and surrender themselves to them. They fail, then they will be the slaves of Rome.

Heroix agrees and gives the task to Asterix and Obelix.

The tasks are as follows:

Now they have accomplished all tasks gives Caesar the Gauls to Rome. Then he pulls back with Cleopatra in a country house. ==Division Of Roles[ Edit] == French version: <p lang="en" len="19" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Dutch version: ==Background<span class="mw-editsection" len="339" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == ===Differences with the comics<span class="mw-editsection" len="353" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p lang="en" len="347" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.399999618530273px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The film seems to play in any other continuity than the comics, as there is clearly some inconsistencies between the two are:
 * 1) Ren harder than Merinos, champion running at the Olympics. Asterix, aided by magic potion, to defeat even after already know Merinos harder rent than the sound.
 * 2) Throw a Javelin further than Persian Kermes, the Javelin thrower. Kermes ' spear lands in North America, but Obelix ' spear flies around the world and pursues Kermes.
 * 3) Cilindricus, the GermanDefeat. Cilindricus turns out to be a master in a martial art that he has learned in a far country (presumably China or Japan, there he is dressed in a judo-gi). He beats Obelix by his own force to use against him. Asterix tackles the smarter and acts as if he is interested in Cilindricus ' fighting technique. At the demonstration, however, which gives him Cilindricus Asterix Asterix defeats by his arms and legs to bring in the button.
 * 4) Insert one more over. Although it seems a simple command, there is a snag. In the middle of the Lake is an island inhabited by beautiful sirens. They lure people to their island with their singing, and keep that to give them everything then stuck there by what they want. Obelix can break out of his trance when he hears that the sirens have no wild boar, after which he and Asterix leave.
 * 5) Survive the hypnotic gaze of the Egyptian magician Iris. Iris uses hypnosis to make people think they are animals. Asterix meets the challenge and disconnects continually Iris ' concentration, whereby those hypnotizes himself in a wild boar.
 * 6) Eat all the dishes on which the Belgian Cook Mannekenpix ready. The Cook is famous and notorious for its colossal meals. So he serves an entire cow + a complete flock of sheep, calf (you may not separate a family according to him) and even an elephant. Obelix meets the challenge and eat everything on the end of the day, the Cook crying out. because his kitchen is empty, but Obelix has apparently not yet had enough (he claims to have had only the appetizer).
 * 7) Survive the Lair of the beast. Asterix and Obelix are entering a scary-looking cave where they encounter all kinds of monsters and ghosts, and later even a metro. Then they come face to face with the beast.Who or what exactly is this beast is not revealed, but later makes Obelix known to be a very tasty beast was (he has apparently eaten).
 * 8) Get form safe conduct A-38 in "the House where you goes mad". This House where you mad is a parody on bureaucracy and unclear officials today. Asterix and Obelix are sent from pillar to post, and no one helps them further. Eventually Asterix with the plan to the officers with their own weapon to beat, and ask for a non-existing form where no one has heard of. When the officers attempt to detect this form, they become entangled in their own onbehulpzaamheid and rule sigh. Asterix ultimately give the officials A-38 so that at least he leaves.
 * 9) Cross a River through an invisible thread. The River in question is full of crocodiles. Asterix and Obelix can neither remain on the cord, and opt for the easy way anyway: by the river. Along the way they get rid of the crocodiles, which itself on the invisible cord end up.
 * 10) Climb a mountain and answered the riddle that the old man on top gives. After a long climb up the two Gauls on the top. The conundrum is that Asterix blindfolded must guess which pile of laundry is washed with Olympus, the detergent of the gods. Asterix answered the Riddle with ease. This is clearly a parody of laundry detergents ads.
 * 11) Spend the night on a ghost area. The plain just outside Rome turns out to be plagued by the ghosts of Romans who are defeated. The Gauls fear the ghosts do not, and therefore the spirits themselves off flights.
 * 12) Survive the Circus Maximus. This last test is performed by all the Gauls. First they fight the Gladiators, and win with ease thanks to their magic potion. When the wild animals are released, the Gauls with these animals a show off as one who sees in the modern circus .

 * In the comic are the Romans aware of the fact that the Gauls their invincibility thanks to a magic potion. In the film they seem not to know, making them the Gauls for gods go on.
 * The strips usually remain true to historical events. On the other hand, conquer Rome the Gauls In the film.
 * The film makes more use of supernatural elements than the comics. Thus, the Roman gods a short performance in the film during the scene must solve the riddle that Asterix with the laundry. Further, there are ghosts and monsters in the story for.
 * As Asterix and Obelix in the comics travel to a place far from their village, it costs them always almost as much time to get there as would be the case in reality. In the film, however, the two travel on foot within 1 day to Rome, while on the move also 10 of their 12 work.
 * Asterix breaks the fourth wall in the film arranged.
 * Asterix in different languages during the introduction says "Hello", in reference to the languages in which his comics have been translated. However, when the French flag in the picture appears, he imitates the crowing of a Rooster as a reference to the cock as a national symbol of France.
 * The idea of "the House where you mad" is not entirely unfounded; especially the eastern part of the Roman Empire (Byzantion) in the last years of its existence was notorious for the heavy and complex bureaucracy.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-1" len="173" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [1]
 * Mannekenpix is named after the Manneken Pis statue. This serves French fries or under other Obelix p, which he claims to have found out yourself. In reality it was the potato at the time of the Roman Empire still unknown in Europe.
 * The film was after outcome still made into a strip. This comic is in Netherlands published by the magazine Eppo.
