Getafix bears witness to this when, far from seeing this Queen of Queens as a mere caricature, he can't hide his admiration for this woman with whom he would like to rub noses.
In the book, the uniform of the rugby team that had the magic potion, Camulodunum, was white and blue, identical to Colchester FC's current colours.When René Goscinny and Albert Uderzo discovered the film Cleopatra by Joseph Mankiewicz at a cinema in Brussels in 1963, you might say they really had flair! Inspired by Liz Taylor's performance in this film fit for a Pharaoh, our two friends immediately set to work drafting what was to become one of the most accomplished characters in the Asterix universe, Queen Cleopatra herself ! And what a Cleopatra! Irascible (her vases often pay the price of her bad humour!), magnanimous (she gracefully acknowledges her mistakes and forgives our favourite Gauls after having thrown them into a dungeon following a slight misunderstanding), loyal and authoritarian, but also superbly beautiful or playfully mocking with Caesar… No doubt about it, this colourful royal character bears the stamp of great authors, whose terrific talent makes it possible to dabble in caricature without sacrificing the consistency and depth of a truly complex character. In the English dub, Fulliautomatix and Impedimenta were renamed to Blacksmix and Instantmix respectively. With the help of a magic potion, Asterix comes to the rescue of the Queen of the Nile as Caesar and an angry architect plot. Cleopatra and Julius Caesar have made a bet, with Caesar wagering the project cannot be completed in a few weeks time.
During the meeting with the pirates: On the way back, the captain sank his own ship, much like in the book Asterix and Cleopatra. But just like the local pirates, he hasnt counted on Asterix and Obelix. In the book, Asterix found out that the barrel was sold to the rugby team by the Pubkeeper, whilst in the film the rugby team were simply the first on the list. Stonehenge makes an appearance in the movie. The search for the stolen barrel of potion is shorter than in the book. Asterix does not get tea from Getafix, but from some Phoenicians who Obelix saved from the pirates. In addition to the regular principal pirates, including the captain and the African lookout, there is a teenaged rookie pirate whose sole purpose in the film is to have his comrades explain their phobia of Gauls, as well as make inane comments whenever their ship is sunk (instead of the old peg-legged pirate as in the comics). Asterix and Obelix meet the pirates on their way to Britain. Governor Encyclopaedicus Britannicus of the book is replaced in the film by General Motus, who bears the name of a Roman from Asterix and the Banquet and the character design of Centurion Arteriosclerosus from Asterix and the Soothsayer. Stratocumulus is a character from the book but in the film he bears the character design of Centurion Tonsillitus from Asterix and Caesar's Gift. Some of the characters (such as the Roman army officers and the British pubkeeper) have different names and designs. (He had only a one-panel cameo appearance in the book.) Caesar's role in the film is larger, and he has more screen time. (In the book, Obelix leaves Dogmatix behind in the village before leaving for Britain.) Dogmatix comes along with the heroes for the journey and gets a subplot involving him following the barrel thief to his house. #Asterix and cleopatra pirates movie#

Poetic justice rules the day as the pirate ship is boarded by Asterix and Obelix, who scuttle it after a largely one-sided fight. Original: Paul Bisciglia, Bertie Cortez, Ian Marschall, Judy Martinez, Edward Marcus, Joseph Nyavri, Laurence Riesner, Christopher Wells En route to Egypt, Edifis' ship is met by a gang of pirates.
