Trivia
The file Victor brings to Inspector Zenigata in the hospital reads "Cagliostro" and has images of the Count of Cagliostro and his castle, from a previous Lupin adventure Lupin III: The Castle of Cagliostro (1979).

Goofs
The newspaper article on Zenigata being shot reads as "Nspector Zenigata Shooted" when it should be "Inspector Zenigata Shot".

Quotes
Inspector Zenigata (voice: English version): That's the way I work! I don't care about governments, I only care about stopping evil wherever I see it! And that's the code I live by!

Crazy credits
In the closing credits, a bird flies across the island's various locations and finally up into the sky.

A pretty violent Lupin

Lupin iii film 19

The thing that strikes the most in this particular film are the many violent and bloody scenes which are not a common thing in Lupin films.

The tone is more serious this time and the characters are fighting for their lives, the treasure is a 2nd priority.

As for the characters, Zenigata is basically cut out of the film, and the others are always in help of Lupin, but nothing memorable.

It's a forgettable Lupin film only for true fans.
