Lupin Movies - Part 2.

again, spoiler warning.

Lupin the 3rd - movie 3: Legend of the gold of Babylon

This one was PAINFUL to watch.

The animation was shit, art isn't that good, the story is ridiculous bullcrap and a lot of it felt out of character. everything in this movie felt halfassed and there's shitloads of cartoon physics, which don't really fit the Lupin series.

Soon after the intro, Zenigata shows up and starts chasing Lupin on bikes through a weird giant billboard in Broadway, meanwhile the New York mafia wants Lupin dead. (yea that's how much sense it makes in the begining.)

The bike scene really set the feel of how shitty the movie was going to b, and it lasts a good 7 mins.

Meanwhile this drunk old lady called Rosetta keeps showing up randomly throughout the entire movie and sometimes starts to strip for Lupin and one time goes as far as to tell him to "take her", which makes he go "DO NOT WANT" and cling to the ceiling everytime, she keeps telling him she loves him and whatnot.

So this crazy old bitch tells him a story about the gold of Babylon and that ends up being the quest for this movie, finding the gold from Babylon. The retarded part is that they find clues and tablets about it in FUCKING NEW YORK.

The Babylon tablets in question have been found around Madison square garden.

Bunch of boring shit happens. Goemon cuts a lightning (SERIOUSLY JUST FOR THE HECK OF IT). Zenigata tails Lupin and pals with a bunch of models officer chicks. (u know what, don't try to figure it out)

Ok this is a crap story, just know that the golden tower of Babylon is under Madison square garden, the old lady was actually an alien and all the bad guys die.

do NOT watch this movie.

rating, 3 out of 20.

Lupin the 3rd - movie 4: Farewell to Nostradamus

This movie was decent. Art and animation were good again, and the story wasn't utter cockflutes.

Lupin finishes a job in brazil where he stole a huge diamond or something and hid it in a doll. while flying back, a lil girl on the plane just walks up to him and takes it! (seriously what the fuck?) Whenever Lupin tries to take it back she makes a scene by yelling he's a pedophile. So Lupin doesn't quite know how to proceed.

Turns out she's with Fujiko, and soon after, the plane is taken by terrorists. A bunch of crap goes on and The lil bitch is kidnapped by a dude in a chopper. She's seriously stupid as fuck...

Meanwhile a sect of Nostradamus is gaining power and influence worldwide by saying they have the book of Nostradamus, predicting event and saying only they can save people from doom.

Fujiko explains the kid is the child of a multimillionaire dude who owns the giant earth tower, which has 200 floors. Just so u get the idea, that thing has trains inside it and enough stadiums to host the Olympics and winter Olympics. it's "epic" huge.

Lupin wants to raid the vault on floor 200, but only 1 person ever made it in, his uncle Phillip.

So while Lupin is snooping around in the tower to find a way out, and falling constantly into traps, he calls it the day and prepares to visit his uncle, meanwhile Fujiko is taken by the kidnappers as well.

Anyway, Lupin gets caught and sent to the same jail his uncle is in. As soon as he arrives, he sees volunteer women from the Nostradamus sect, and surprise, Fujiko is among them. Lupin makes contact with his uncle and they plan to later exchange the info Lupin needs. However, he's killed soon after that convo.

Lupin escapes carrying his uncle unaware he's dead. Zenigata shows up and both get attacked and end up in the sea. while there, Lupin notices his uncle is dead, he takes the capsule with teh info he needed, and a fake eye as a keepsake.

Goemon and Jigen arrive in a chopper to rescue Lupin, Zenigata climbs first, as they're escaping they're being shot at and Lupin falls into the shark infested sea. They beleive him to have died.

Lupin made it to a tropical forest, a lil kid finds him and takes him to his place. a brainwashed Fujiko saves his life by getting into bed with him (his body was frozen). He finds that she's been living in a monastery with lil bitch, and he gets captured.

Jigen and Goemon look up the kidnapper who they believe is responsible for Lupin's death. they find him and Jigen had a good 10 secs to shoot him but didnt, (so cliche and lame...).

finally they reveal the kidnapper works in fact for the Nostradamus sect leader, and their goal is world domination (ugh... so cliche...), Lupin takes Fujiko and lil bitch and escapes to the amazon river.

Now starts getting stupid, the sect uses the Brazilian soccer team to plant time bombs all over the giant earth tower, the bombs being in soccer balls. they guards see them planting the damn things all around but dismiss it (wth?), Goemon freed all the soccer players from their mind controls but they had already planted all the bombs.

Nostradamus sect leader announces that the earth tower will fall (big surprise), panic is spread and the building becomes empty. Sect leader deceives lil bitch's mom to gain access to the vault, but the kidnapper betrays him and heads for the vault before him.

Gets a lil confusing at this part, but everyone gets to the vault one after another, bad guys die, tower is destroyed, lil bitch is reunited with her parents. watch the movie if u wanna know how it went.

i would had liked the movie more if that lil bitch wasn't in it at all. they try to make her look sweet halfway, but i didn't go for it.

Because u get to see Fujiko naked, I'll rate it 14 out of 20.
