There once was a man named Hector Finnegan, who was a legendary thief.
He is sentenced to death. But before they can hang him from the gallows, thieves from all over the world set a course to the prison. In hopes of saving Finnegan so he can lead them to his treasure.
Makes you think of Gold Roger doesn’t it? 🤔
But there is much more going on here. Twist and turns.
Its another one of those Lupin has to save a kingdom type movies.
I like Fujiko in this. Greedy as always. Fujiko is a character who can be made as very likeable or detestable depending on the writer.
Zenigata also gets to show just how skillful he actually is. And how much he actually adores Lupin. He might not be able to catch Lupin. But he may be the world’s greatest cop.

[THIS WAS WRITTEN RIGHT AFTER WATCHING IT AND ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA ACC. KEEPING THIS HERE FOR AN ARCHIVE]
PRISON OF THE PAST DONE 🤩🤩🤩 IT WAS SO GOOOOOD OMG
The plot was kinda lame and been there done that but had some small slivers of something that could’ve been much deeper but like usual w this kinda shit they never actually MAKE ANY USE OF ANYTHING HANDED TO THEM. THEY SPRINKLE IT AND GIVE HINTS AT IF AND JUST LEAVE IT LIKE THAT. PLEASE GUYS JUST FUCKING. USE THE MATERIAL.
But other than that the character moments were so good and funny and the dub cast sounded like they had a good time recording it :D in terms of the dub script I’m still miffed modern lupin dubs never do anything fun anymore, but this one really had that bang zoom way too true to the source material vibe like anyone w…

I LOVE Lupin III and I really appreciate that they used red Jacket Lupin! This special is really fun and nostalgic. Within the first opening scene they used the Lupin III theme with vocals and it was truly music to my ears.
ART 10/10
I think the art style is really crisp and clean for 2019. Although I’ll always love the classic Lupin artstyle I quite like this new modern art style too! I guess it’s important to realise that anime is changing and so will old art styles. It’s good to appreciate both!
MUSIC 10/10
I always love Lupin III soundtrack. Love going on a drive and putting the OSTS on. I definitely downloaded the remastered vocal version and played it a couple of times and many of the other tracks from this special.
STORY 8/10
It’s quite a good story but there definitely has be…

I've watched all Lupin III's seasons and a lot of the movies. This film felt like a parody of Lupin's 50 year legacy and I'll explain why in this review.
Animation: clean, colourful and with the old school charm that is part of Lupin III's iconic visuals. However, at the end of the movie, it was quite inconsistent.
Sound:
1) Lupin III's iconic theme song was ruined by some dodgy lyrics and vocals. For 50 years, the instrumental has been a constant presence in every episode, movie, OVA, special. Yet, for some odd reason, this movie wanted it to be different and it was just awful. There's a saying that goes "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" and it fits perfectly here.
2) "Super Hero"'s version for this movie had terrible vocals. Again. if it ain't broken, don't fix it.
Story and cha…
