Trivia about Asterix at the Olympic Games

At the time of its release, it was the most expensive non-English-language French film in history. Its budget placed it among the big European productions of the era.

This is Alain Delon's last performance as an actor, although the Frenchman appears as himself in two other films released later.

Filming took place in Alicante, including at the Ciudad de la Luz studios, and lasted six months.

On its opening weekend in France, it earned 23.4 million dollars, more than 60% of what it earned across 19 territories.

The cast featured athletes playing adapted versions of themselves: Michael Schumacher as Schumix, Zinédine Zidane as Numerodis, Tony Parker as Tonus Parker, Amélie Mauresmo as Amélix, and Jean Todt as himself.

The cast's fees exceeded 10 million euros; in addition, the rights cost 7 million, the sets and costumes 8 million, and the technical resources 32 million.

Thomas Langmann said that Alain Delon clashed with him after he showed footage from the movie at a TF1 convention without the actor's permission, a conflict that nearly stalled the final stretch of filming.
