For now, questions are set aside, as Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon immediately embark to Egypt to pilfer a stone artifact from a pyramid, with Zenigata in hot pursuit.

Just Feels Long
by Esteban -
This is the first Lupin anime that I simply did not enjoy. The first and second series had some flaws that I can excuse with age, but this was just a difficult sit. I really wanted to enjoy this, even if it was only as a historical artifact, but... the plot was just too meandering and while I know and enjoy the goifiness of Lupin, here he just felt like Jerry Lewis most of the time. The most entertainment I got was from the historical notes in the extras, which were genuinely cool. There weren't really any technical issues or anything, the animation was great for its time, it just felt long.
4 English Dubs?!
by M.O.T.A. -
I've been watching Lupin the 3rd for a long time, but I never bought this when Pioneer released this film around the same time as the TV series on Adult Swim, and I'm kind of glad I didn't because I can watch 5 different versions of this film and study different person's takes on our beloved classic characters. If I could have Tony Oliver's Lupin and Michelle Ruff's Fujiko interact with the prior version of Mamo played by Robert Alexrod (Lord Zedd from Power Rangers) I would be in heaven. Still, the animation is no Castle of Caligostro, but several classical pieces of art including Salvador Dali's Melting Clocks, make cameo appearances in Mamo's lair. I'd say only for die hard Lupin fans.
A Must See Classic Lupin Film!
by Joshimatsu
This is a classic Lupin film, the first of them for that matter. It's got classic Bond-esque action and highly entertaining interplay/drama between the main cast with a truly wild and surreal conclusion that somehow just works. The art direction is also full of character and style, even if its not quite as refined as Cagliostro a year later would be. It also features one of the few truly menacing and memorable villains in the series. Just as great and important in the Lupin legacy as Cagliostro, but for completely unique reasons.
A very good film
by Donald -
It's not a 5 star movie, but a solid 4 for sure. There are 4 dubbs with this movie, so you may wish to try them all, it does make a difference. Personally, I thought the Streamline dub was the best, although the Geneon and Manga dubs were good as well.
This movie was so boring it put me to sleep... twice!
by Matt
This movie sucks! I tried to watch it 3 different times and on two of those times I fell asleep because it was sooooo boring! The story was really lame, even for Lupin the 3rd and the revelation at the end was definitely not worth the time I spent trying to watch it all the way through. If you want to watch a Lupin the 3rd movie, there are other movies out there that are much better.
A Lupin Masterpiece.
by Eamon -
Spectacular. I would really give this a 4.5. I love the animation, the fights, the villain, how weird it gets at the end (very Kubrick) my only real complaint is that it is a little long and drags a little towards the end.
