    Get Foxtel and you can see them all. Provided you aren't partying with Grunt.

    I liked "Asterix and Obelix vs Caesar", but I prefer its sequel "Asterix and Obelix: Mission Cleopatra" much more. Both films were on Foxtel's World Movies, so my guess is that the sequel will soon come to SBS. If you're a fan of Monica Belucci, you'll like it!

    I'm an old fan of the series and found the sequel much closer to the books (especially the book it was based on). The sequel also has some funny scenes with the pirates, who were notably missing from the first film.

    Apparently both films are virtually impossible to buy on DVD, especially with just the english subtitles.

    Caesar was in the mask. The Gauls did a deal with Caesar (no taxes and automonous province) for his assistance.
    Made a double strength potion and beat up the Roman army that attacked the village. The guy in purple/lilac (?) wouldn't share out the potion with his soldiers.
    The double strength potion made copies of Asterix and Oblix. Oblix didn't get the girl with the large mammaries, although he made a copy and almost kissed her.
    The Gauls had a big party afterwards, and Caesar sent Oblix a birthday cake of legionares with candles on their helmets for Oblix to beat up.
    Thats all you missed.
    Cheers,
    Clinton

    Nope,
    that was a surrogate "magic" potion brewed up with some leaves and given to the Britons when Asterix and Obelix were unable to get a barrel of the real thing to them.
