Asterix and Obelix Cleopatra Mission: The Return
Released in 2002, Asterix and Obelix: Cleopatra mission directed by Alain Chabat is undoubtedly one of the most cult comedy films of French cinema. The feature film features the famous Gallic heroes, Asterix and Obelix, as they embark on a mission to help Queen Cleopatra build a palace in just three monthsin order to demonstrate the greatness of the Egyptian civilization.
We find an exceptional cast including Christian Clavier in the role of Asterix, Gérard Depardieu in the role of Obélix, and many other actors such as Monica Bellucci, Jamel Debbouze and Alain Chabat himself in the role of Jules Caesar.
Mission Cléopâtre: Alain Chabat unveils Otis’ monologue in its entirety
Upon its release, Cleopatra mission was a huge success with the French public. It became the 11th biggest French box office hit of all time, attracting more than 14 million viewers in theaters. The film was particularly acclaimed for its quirky humor and cult scenes. Even today it is the biggest cinematic success of an adaptation of the cult comic.
21 years after its release, the comedy was entitled to a second youth with 4K HDR restoration. This new version supervised by Alain Chabat was released in French cinemas this Wednesday July 5th.
Should we stay after the credits?
In addition to a completely reworked picture, Alain Chabat promised viewers that there would be “surprises”. So, do you have to stay to the end of the credits to get some, like Marvel movies? It really seems so!
As reported by our colleagues from Parisian, two gifts lurk long after the credits. Besides the appearance of Alain Chabat announcing these famous bonuses, there is a deleted scene with Omar Sy and Fred Testot as painters discussing the spelling and grammar of hieroglyphs, then Otis’ monologue sequence in its entirety, followed by an excerpt from another take of this worship scene. That’s about 3 minutes more fun. However, it should be noted that these two bonuses were already present in the DVD edition of the film.
