The Twelve Tasks of Asterix

The Twelve Tasks of Asterix is a UK VHS release by The Video Collection on 1987.

Description
Julius Caesar has conquered all of Gaul. All that is except a little village in Armorica which remains defiant - the home of Asterix and Obelix! Aided by Getafix's magic potion, the villagers are a match for any legions Caesar can fling at them.

So the suspicion grows among the Romans that perhaps these invincible Gauls are really gods? In which case it is pointless trying to fight them.

A somewhat sceptical Julius Caesar sets Herculean tasks to determine whether or not the villagers belong on Olympus. Asterix and Obelix have to undertake - a race against Asbestos the Greek - who can run faster than the wind - javelin-against Cedric the German, whom no man has ever beaten - eating a morsel of a vast banquet by the Chief of the Titans (a task completed with enormous pleasure by Obelix) - crossing a crocodile-infested chasm - spending the night on the Plain of the Departed Spirits - and these are only half of their awesome tasks! But it's when Asterix and Obelix and the whole village are thrown to the lions in the Colosseum, that the Gauls really show their mettle by turning the Roman Circus into the real thing, complete with clowns!
