Summaries

The dandy grandson of a French thief is cajoled by his father's former partner and a femme fatale into challenging the syndicate that ruined his family's criminal empire.

This Lupin the Third movie is set before he meets Daisuke Jigen, Goemon Ishikawa, or Fujiko Mine. It starts out with Lupin meeting a cute girl, who's on her way to being locked up. Lupin busts her out, only to be left behind. He later encounters Daisuke Jigen, who desperately wants Lupin to reincarnate the Lupin empire. Lupin also later (again) meets Fujiko, wanting expensive jewelry and promising Lupin a "worthy prize". He must do this (well, if he wants Fujiko that is) while avoiding being killed, and while deciding if he really wants to take over the Lupin empire.—Anonymous

In this live action flick of everyone's favorite thief, we get to see Lupin(who doesn't live up to his family name in this film) on how he first met Jigen(who's a follower on the Lupin Empire) who and Fujiko(who's just obsess with jewelry. As well as Zenigata who we all know has vow his word on capturing Lupin. It's a mixture of Adam West and Monkey Punch's masterpiece which equals to this humorous and slap stick comedy.—J LeGault
