the final movie to come out

Reviewed in the United States on February 28, 2006

Lupin is on the trail for another priceless piece of art. As if he doesn't get enough of stealing. This happens when an unassuming antique becomes the key to world domination.

A former KGB thug is in this movie

A Decent Lupin Film with a Muddled Plot

Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2015

The movie starts with Lupin bidding in an auction for a seemingly worthless ring. To the shock of those at the auction the price soars to over a million and Lupin loses by a single dollar because for some reason the auction abruptly ends. We find out later that the ring along with its matching broach are magic artifacts capable of bestowing to the owner the ability to rule the world. Men like Napoleon, Lenin and Hitler all owed their rise to power to the jewelry. Ohh kay.

‘Missed by a Dollar’, released in 2000, was the twelfth Lupin the 3rd made for TV movie. It was directed by Hideki Tonokatsu who also directed the next film, ‘Alcatraz Connection’. The animation is decent although sometimes sloppy. It’s interesting how much the animation varies not only in quality but in overall look from film to film. My guess is the different directors bring in their own animators and in the case of the Lupin films the directors change from film to film more often than not.

My biggest issue with the film is the plot. We start with a broach and ring combination that can rule the world and then the film swerves off into oil fraud and stock manipulation. There is some kind of Spectre type organization and an attempt to create a phony war and the broach/ring are completely forgotten about. There are Lupin films like ‘Crisis in Tokyo’ that are so hilarious and well done that I completely overlook the muddled plot but ‘Missed by a Dollar’ isn’t quite good enough to overcome a forgettable story.

I don’t want to imply that the film is bad and there are some very good sequences including a classic Lupin car chase. All the characters are handled properly and given sufficient screen time. I was a bit confused early on because the voice actress for one of the female villains was so close to the voice actress for Fujiko that I started confusing the two. There is also a weird scene right at the end. Lupin is sometimes shown as being incredibly skillful but this scene takes it to a totally absurd level. Our thief hero is walking out of a bar with the broach and the female villain pulls a gun on Lupin. With his back turned to her about twenty feet away he effortlessly flips a coin backwards having it land between the gun and the hammer jamming it so it can’t fire. I literally had to rewind the movie twice to figure out what I was seeing. ‘Missed by a Dollar’ is a fine addition to the Lupin series but I would only place it as a middle of the road Lupin film.

A Day Late - And WAY More Than a Dollar Short!

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2008

What amazes and dismays me most about the entire Lupin III series is how after ( in this case ) over 20 years there has been virtually NO growth or development in any of these characters. It's as if the entire production is on auto-pilot. What changes there have been are both cosmetic and confusing. Of course Lupin's original seyuu is dead, replaced by an adequate substitute; but the changes to other cast members, notably Fujiko, are puzzling: though voiced by the same actress, she no longer looks anything like the original Fujiko. Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon fare better in this respect; and Zenegata appears as he has more recently, after his character's alteration for the second TV series. Still, the animation varies widely in this so-called "movie", which was really a Japanese TV special.

Of course all the necessary plot devices are in place: something mysterious to be stolen; a curveacious rival to be tricked; Zenegata-Keibu likewise; impossible car chases and near-death experiences for our hero; lots of bad guys to be offed; an implacably evil villian; what are supposed to represent various "exotic" settings; etc., etc. Basically, if you've ever seen ANY version of Lupin, then you've seen all of this before; I found myself looking at the time more than once as I waited out its all-too-inevetable conclusion. The only part of this I actually ENJOYED was the over-the-top reaction of Zenegata to this latest "death" of Lupin; but even that's nothing really new. I suppose when you have a franchise that's as popular in its native land as this one is, you don't DARE change ANYTHING.

It's not that it's really SO bad; there's just very little in it to arouse interest, and certainly nothing new. In an attempt to be "hip" with its New York City location, including lots of signage and secondary dialogue in English, it is thereby dated with several unfortunate views of the pre- 9/11 Twin Towers. Of course this is no fault of the 2000 production; but I found myself most amused by watching for other various legitimate audio-visual bloopers. For example, it's quite obvious that Sandy, the "great" torch singer that Lupin has the hots for this time, though represented as an American singing in a New York lounge, is singing phonetically - and poorly at that - having NO command of English. Also, she has her name boldly displayed outside the club: "SUNDAY"! These are perfect examples of the great care that was lavished on this production!

Lupin goes sci-fi

This is a more or less by-the-numbers Lupin TV special except that it involves time travel. I'm not hugely keen on Lupin III involving science fiction as a style, but was surprised to find it handled quite well. There are better Lupin specials, but there are far worse ones too.

lupin the 3rd missed by a dollar is a fantastic film it has tons of action and comedy as lupin and pals take on a bank (bank of the world) or Bow at has control over the black markets and robs people of there cash.
the story is about a ruthless vixen and her hit man who worked for the KGB as they tire to find a bough at
powerful dictators from the past have owned in the Caribbean as fuijko and lupin get there on back on the pair as they stop a world war from breaking out in the process.
great movie pick it up if you can get it for a good price (Note dvd is out of print)
and the movie is in English and Japanese.
