One thing that really stands out is the humor. I'm not sure exactly why but I found myself laughing far more through this special than I typically do. Lupin is never short of comical moments but this one, especially the first ten minutes. just had so many random and fun moments that immediately pulled me in. It's a bit higher on comedy this time around and I'm okay with that. As the cover illustration suggests, this one is a bit more raucous and it works perfectly. It's not the best of the specials by any means but I'd rate it higher than the first two.
The picture quality is decent but it's the sound that really stands out. Everything is loud and clear, making it easy to keep up and hear the magnificent score at the same time. The extras are the standards we've come to expect from Discotek and they've once again managed to do this series justice. If you're a fan of the franchise then picking this up is a no-brainer and if you're looking for something fun and different then this certainly isn't a bad place to start.
The movie starts with Lupin stealing a 1908 Packard from a museum right under Inspector Zenigata's nose in order to impress a woman. When she turns out to be a flake he decides to use the car to win a Madrid to Paris race with the prize being Napoleons Dictionary. Apparently Napoleon was quoted as saying, 'The word impossible is not in my dictionary' and Lupin wants to confirm that this is true. I looked it up and this is legitimately a quote attributed to Napoleon. Meanwhile, agents sent by the G7 nations are hunting down Lupin in order to find the secret to the Lupin family treasure. After the Gulf War (this movie came out in 1991) the G7 nations need a boost to their economies and each wants their hands on the estimated 200 billion dollar Lupin fortune. As it turns out Napoleon's Dictionary IS the key to the Lupin fortune so Lupin's attempt to gain it isn't done simply on a lark.
Thie animation ranges from passable to atrocious Even by 1991 made for TV standards this would be considered pretty shoddy. Compared to Castle of Cagliostro, which came out 12 years prior, the animation here looks like junk. What saves the movie is a fairly decent plot. There are a LOT of Lupin III movies including 24 made for TV. Most of them I haven't seen because they've never been released in the U.S. but of the ones I've seen Napoleon's Dictionary has one of the better stories. I particularly enjoyed the interaction between Lupin and Zenigata who spend more than the usual time together. My biggest issue is with the ending. The U.S. military attacks the Lupin family castle and Lupin, Jigen, Goemon and Fujiko end up slaughtering dozens if not hundreds of soldiers. Even Zenigata gets in on the killing. I know that Lupin III has never been the gentlemen thief that his grandfather was but this disregard for human life was disappointing. Besides all the killing this is a movie that could be watched by children. Fujiko, in particular, manages to keep her voluminous breasts under wraps.
Eastern Star is perhaps working to release all the Lupin II TV movies having now released four in the past two years which should be pretty exciting for Lupin fans. As far as I can tell only one of the four are dubbed and even on that one I'm not 100% sure since Amazon's descriptions are inaccurate. Napolean's Dictionary is the 3rd of the 24 made for TV movies. So far Eastern Star has been going in chronological order and I'm not sure if they are going to skip over a bunch because nine of the next ten movies have already been released. I'd like to see some of the more recent movies since the U.S. is over a decade behind.
A small surprise is that not only does Zenigata (almost) get his man, but he (almost) gets the girl, as well!
Sorta.
Kinda.
Approximately.

Der Film lässt sich einwandfrei abspielen und die CD sowie auch die CD-Hülle sind in einem tadellosem Zustand.
Qualitativ ist die CD-Hülle wohl kein Sammlerstück, lässt sich bei dem Preis aber denke ich auch nicht erwarten.
Alles in allem bin ich sehr zufrieden.
Buy Castle of Cagliostro if you prefer the lighter Lupin stories (or Island of Assassins if you prefer one of the darker ones), not this crap.
