Lupin III: La leggenda dell'oro di Babilonia

If you are like me, after watching "Lupin III: Castle of Cagliostro" by Miyazaki, you were excited to see what else Lupin had to offer. This movie marks a drastic drop in quality from that film. Not just in animation, but likewise in characters and story.

This is a very strange movie. It follows a lot of the same bullet points of a Lupin III adventure, but all with some bizarre twist. The first chase scene gives the audience a good idea of the crazy tone that this movie has.

At a certain point you have to just give into the madness of the story. For that reason, my favorite part of the movie is the end. I won't spoil it here, but it's almost like Lupin goes to learn a lesson, but then immediately undoes it all.

It is not gold, its more like...Beryllium.
