Product Description
English dub, Japanese language, English subtitles, 1080p high definition, Region A disc. In the war-torn nation of Zulu, Lupin frees several criminals from prison to aid him in deciphering the mysterious Drifting Island, a nano-technology safe securing the nations treasure. The coup that put General Headhunter in charge also killed off anyone who could clear the Island's extreme ID check. Rumor has It that the princess Emerah knows the secret to entering Drifting Isle, but when Lupin frees Emerah from Headhunter's palace, he gets a surprise: "Emerah" is actually the undercover agent Oleander in disguise! Ole is in for her own surprise when the long-dead Prince Pannish comes back from the dead to lead an uprising against Headhunter. Can Lupin, together with his gang and Pannish, save the nation and unlock the treasure vault, even with a million-dollar bounty on his head?

The overall plot of the movie, involves Lupin and the gang trying to steal a national treasure from an ruthless 3rd world country dictator/general. Along the way, Lupin meets up with some allies, and as usual, he meets up with the Femme Fatale' Fujiko. I won't spoil the story, but overall the plot ws pretty engaging. Personally, I found that the plots from "Castle of Cagliostro" and "Farewell to Nostradamus" a bit more engaging and captivating, but this movie is still very enjoyable.
The english voice acting for this movie is pretty good. For some weird reason, my opinion always hinges on performance of the actor potraying Jiggen, perhaps because he is my favorite character. I think the actor in this movie did a worlds better than the actor in the "Casle of Cagliostro" , but not quite as good as the actor in "Farewell to Nostradamus."
This disc is distributed by Funimation, and unlike my previous Lupin movie from them, the disc was in great condition, and worked perfectly. In my opinion Funimation does the best job in brigning Lupin to English speaking audiences.
A great buy for any Lupin fan, and like any Lupin movie, I thnink this a great buy for anyone who wants to give the anime genre a chance, without having to subject themselves to crazy hairstyles, and strange magical rodents.

Interview with Monkey Punch
This is the third Lupin theatrical feature to be released in the United States (the others being the Castle of Cagliostro and the Mystery of Mamo) and the first theatrical feature of Lupin to be released by FUNimation.
The grand Monkey Punch himself (who created the awesome series) took the directing chair for this movie, and the results could not be any better. This is one movie that has a lot of action. It doesn't have as much comedy as the other Lupin movies, but there are a few comedic moments. The entire movie is action packed and entertaining.
Dead or Alive was originally made in 1996, but the animation is fluid and visually appealing. Dead or Alive is a must-have for fans of the action genera, not just anime or Lupin fans!
I was disappointed with how FUNimation handled this release! The Japanese track is only in mono, the widescreen is not anamorphic, and the transfer could have been better! The packaging is also questionable.
But what matters is the content, which is good, so don't waste time! Get your hands on this movie now. You won't be disappointed! You'll be pulling this movie off the shelf time after time! DVD extras include a video interview with Monkey Punch himself!
The story isn't interesting, the villain is wicked generic, the humor doesn't hit, there are some very confusing plot details and worst of all it's world is extremely bland and unexplored. They made the fictional land look very stylish and interesting but it lacks any real identity. I'm all for interpretation but it wasn't done here. It's just kind of there for the sake of having a cool backdrop. Calgiostro built it's story around it's backdrop while also leaving a lot of small details for audience interpretation while DoA just throws you there and fails to make it's conflict of resistance vs. government interesting at all.
All in all it is interesting to see some scenes directed by Monkey Punch himself, and some of the animation & backgrounds are beautiful (a lot of the layouts and cinematography look straight out of a quality manga of the time) but the story needed A LOT of work. A few rewrites and I think they could've had a gem on their hands.
