Trivia
On the Funimation DVD, there is an Easter egg located as follows: Enter the "Extras" menu. Select "Profiles" and select Karen's profile. Press "Menu" while viewing her profile to return to the "Extras" menu. Press Enter.

What appears is a still frame of Lupin and Zenigata drinking together, with a voiceover of them drunkenly singing the Lupin III theme music.

Goofs
At the begin of the movie you can clearly read the word "Polizia" on the cop's cars, but instead the policemen wear the carabinieri uniform.

Quotes
Inspector Koichi Zenigata: [takes a shot of booze] This was delivered to me this morning...
[holds out a notice]
Arsene Lupin III: [reads] "Detective Zenigata: today, July 23, as of tweve o'clock noon, you are hereby dismissed as Chief Investigating Officer of the Lupin Task Force." Dismissed?
Inspector Koichi Zenigata: That's right! From this moment on, I'm not responsible for the arrest of you and your little cronies!
[bursts into tears]
Inspector Koichi Zenigata: Oh, my life is falling apart! But after chasing you for twenty years and not having a single conviction, how can I blame them?... What hurts the most, is that some cocky young hotshot is gonna come in guns blazing and do what I never could!
Arsene Lupin III: [takes a seat] I'll drink with ya, Pops. Let's toast to your newfound freedom.
Inspector Koichi Zenigata: MORON! Are you even listening to me? I'm depressed!

Crazy credits
An extra scene on how Lupin's gang get Clause's money is shown after the end credits.

Decent but not really great

Lupin iii film 16

Very forgettable, watch it only if you're a fan. There's some action with the whole squad. Everyone has equal time on screen, but they really did Zenigata dirty on this one. While he collaborates with lupin, he's the weak character that was removed from the job. Fujiko is interesting, as her curves are very exaggerated in this film in particular, and she's pretty merciless when it comes to deceiving. The drawings are probably the only thing that I quite like of this film, they aren't the best but have a unique style as all other Lupin films. Overall it's pretty weak as a film in the Lupin series, like a couple others.
