About Lupin III

Lupin III blends action, adventure and comedy by Tokyo Movie Shinsha (1971). Below is a fresh retelling of what the story is about. In short: Arsène Lupin III is the grandson of world-famous thief Arsène Lupin, and he's living up to his grandfather's memory as a high-profile thief himself. Due to his infamy, Lupin III attracts the attention of the persistent Inspector Zenigata of the ICPO, as well as rival criminals.

More of the story: Lupin III's criminal lifestyle even seeps into his love life. The main woman in Lupin III's realm is femme fatale Fujiko Mine, who Lupin III can never tell is working with or against him. Follow Lupin and his gunman partner Daisuke Jigen on their quest to own the realm－or at least the valuable bits!

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.
