There were 2 english dubs of Asterix and the Big Fight
The UK version and the US version

Gaumont somehow opted for the US version as the definitive dub of Big Fight even though it bastardizes the plot and names
because of this, The UK dub is lost

a review of the US dub

and here's a review of the now lost UK dub

Actually, the UK Dub for Asterix and the Big Fight is still available online

^If you want to talk about lost Asterix films, there is the adaption of Asterix and the Golden Sickle which was left unfinished (all that exist are some screenshots).

Some screenshots?

*goes back to the LMW page I wrote to check*

Wow! By Teutates and Belenos! Where did you find them?

Oh yeah, there is also the first animated Asterix and the Big Fight that was being made along the first animated Asterix The Gaul film and the Golden Sickle. But the authors hated how those movies looked (especially because of the cheap 12 i/s animation) and ordered the two sequels destroyed, although they reluctantly agreed to have the first one released.

A lot of animated adaptations of French-Belgian comics in the 1960s were quite cheap. The Belvision Tintin cartoons were infamous for this... and there's a reason the first Smurfs cartoons are not widely available. Honestly, when even 2000s Flash cartoons look more lively...

If you're referring to the celluloids for "Asterix and the Golden Sickle" film, they were on a now defunct English fan site for the series. One of the members on there attended the convention personally and snapped some pictures of the celluloids.

I remembered they existed and had to go digging a bit to rediscover them but as you can see, they are the authentic deal lol

There was also a cancelled live-action adaption of Asterix in Spain - apparently Albert Uderzo and Anne Goscinny felt that the script for the movie didn't capture the franchise correctly (a similar complaint Uderzo had about Mission Cleopatra).

Are you talking about asterix.co.nz?? I liked that site! A shame it has gone down... Congrats to you for recovering those images!

Yup, that's the site I'm talking about

The only way to really view it now is by making use of the WayBack Machine

And alas yes, it is a pity I always kind of preferred it to the original French website lol since it was a bit more informative.
