Lupin III: The First

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

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.

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