Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film is dedicated to Monkey Punch, the creator of Lupin III, who died in April 2019, six months before the film released.
- GoofsDuring 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.

Featured review
I heard a lot of people comparing this one to THE CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO-- quite a high standard. While I don't think LUPIN THE FIRST quite hits that lofty mark, it is a solid feature-length entry in the series. Like the original Red Jacket series, this movie is marked by slapstick and Indiana Jones style adventure. The more emotional elements of the script (represented by the Lettitia character) are rather conventional, but they work and never bog down the breakneck pacing. The animation looks pretty good on the whole, with the designs of these iconic characters transferring well to CG, though sometimes certain movements seemed to lack weight behind them-- and no, it wasn't during the comedic moments either. But still, this is a fun adventure I would recommend to Lupin fans, though if you've never seen a Lupin movie before, you're probably better off being introduced to this amazing franchise via CAGLIOSTRO or THE MYSTERY OF MAMO.
