    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Some "Lupin III" fans criticize the film for presenting a different characterization of Arsène Lupin III: he is seen as a nobler, more heroic character in the film, while in the manga he is portrayed as a arrogant, shrewd playboy (however the film has Lupin mentioning he was like that at the beginning of his career). Furthermore, the portrayal of a friendly Jigen, a funny Goemon and a desexualised Fujiko didn't sit well with fans (only Zenigata was spared criticism).
    • Goofs
      In the clock tower, Lupin undoes a bolt by turning it clock-wise.
    • Quotes

      Daisuke Jigen: Which are we helping?

      Lupin III: The girl!

      Daisuke Jigen: Typical!

    • Crazy credits
      The film title in the original Japanese version has Lupin III's name written on a paper stuck to the screen with a knife, and the "Shiro" ("Castle") is in the shape of a castle.
    • Alternate versions
      German VHS release by VCL was cut by around 16 minutes. The DVD release from Anime Virtual is uncut.

    What a movie!
    I have two Japanese animated feature films from 1979, this one and one of the sequels to Space Battleship Yamato. Compared to the animation in Yamato (which is flat and often motionless), Lupin is Snow White. There is so much movement (more than some of Miyazaki's later films), and there are some truly incredible "set" pieces (Lupin scaling a sheer castle wall, for instance). One of the things that has always been noted about Japanese animation is that while it's not as fluid as Disney animation (12 frames per second as opposed to 24, not to mention the animation is generally before the voice track), it has incredible style and originality in its design and cinematography. Lupin is a perfect example of this, and it's no wonder the movie is still so well revered in Japan.

    FAQ11

    • If all the Count needed from Clarisse was her ring, why did he need to marry her?
    • Did Lupin drown the diver who attempted to ambush him?
