Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaSome "Lupin III" fans criticize the film for presenting a different characterization of Arsène Lupin III: he is seen as a nobler, more heroic character in the film, while in the manga he is portrayed as an arrogant, shrewd playboy (however the film has Lupin mentioning he was like that at the beginning of his career). Furthermore, the portrayal of a friendly Jigen, a funny Goemon and a desexualised Fujiko didn't sit well with fans (only Zenigata was spared criticism).
- GoofsIn the clock tower, Lupin undoes a bolt by turning it clock-wise.
- Crazy creditsThe film title in the original Japanese version has Lupin III's name written on a paper stuck to the screen with a knife, and the "Shiro" ("Castle") is in the shape of a castle.
- Alternate versionsGerman VHS release by VCL was cut by around 16 minutes. The DVD release from Anime Virtual is uncut.

Featured review
I don't like Japanese anime most of the time. In fact, the only anime I genuinely love comes from Miyazaki and Studio Ghibli. Now, I knew this movie was a Miyazaki film, but the fact that I'd never even SEEN or READ Lupin the series made me veeery hesitant to check this movie out. I'd seen it at the Library movie section but wasn't willing to fork over the one dollar to rent it.
I finally saw it yesterday, thanks to my sister, and MAN! was it awesome! I didn't expect it to play out like a regular Miyazaki film, but it did in every aspect I can think of: the animation style, the facial expressions, the plot, storyline and script, and the overall feel of the movie screamed Miyazaki. By the end, I even learned to love Lupin and the whole cast of characters who were all strangers to me at the beginning of the movie.
Aside from the corny 70's music, this movie was fun every step of the way. It was funny, romantic, dramatic, action-packed: everything! So I guess that sums it up well. I'm sorry I didn't watch it before, so now i'm telling you--GET THIS MOVIE! I'm sure you will find at least something in it that will entertain you.
