Trivia
The film is dedicated to Monkey Punch, the creator of Lupin III, who died in April 2019, six months before the film released.

Goofs
During the highway escape, the police cars escorting the Citroen HY police vehicle are clearly Datsun Bluebirds (Police vehicles not operated by the French police) marked as belonging to the 'Saitama Prefectural Police' from Japan, complete with Japanese livery and writing and driven by officers that are based of Japanese police officers. This is a geographical error, as these vehicles would not be operating in France, where this scene takes place.". You could say its because that is not the Japanese police, but Interpol, however you would still be wrong as that is not how Interpol works.

Quotes
Inspector Koichi Zenigata: LUPIN!

Crazy credits
The closing credits starts with a quote from "Lupin III" creator Monkey Punch, which serves as a dedication.

9/10

One of the best looking 3D animated films I've seen.

I had never seen anything related to Lupin III before watching this movie, so this was my first experience with the franchise, and I was very impressed. Above all, the animation and art style of this movie is fantastic. The original character designs are perfectly translated into 3D. The music is also fantastic, providing a great adventure-y feel to the story. The story itself isn't groundbreaking, but it is great for newcomers to Lupin like me. It does a great job in just the first few minutes showing each of the main character's personalities through the beautiful anime opening-style beginning. Overall, I would gladly recommend this movie to anyone looking for a good, fun time, and I can't wait to see what else Lupin III has to offer
