First and only feature film where our beloved Lupin III wears his flamboyant pink Jacket.

"The Legend of the Gold of Babylon", the third Lupin movie, is the one that represents the third series of the famous gentleman thief in the cinema. Successor of the much better known and loved: "the castle of Cagliostro", still remains one of Lupin's least appreciated films. It was such a flop at the time that it convinced the producers not to redesign the pink jacket again. With some small exceptions in the future.

There isn't much to say about the film itself, the premises of the plot are good and at times the film is pleasant and manages to capture the viewer's attention.

Unfortunately, the flaws far outweigh the merits.

The drawings are not the most inspired, they refer to the style of the third series, but personally I find them mediocre and even a little crooked. The plot could be interesting, but it is badly told, messed up and difficult to follow sometimes; more serious moments alternate with extremely stupid moments. Action scenes alternate with scenes straight out of cartoons like "Tom & Jerry". Above all, as the movie progresses, more and more trivial elements are added, which confuse the whole thing even more.

Summing up: "the legend of the gold of Babylon" is certainly not a great movie. If you watch it without too many expectations, it might not disappoint you that much and still entertain you.

If you are a Lupin fan, I still recommend you to watch it, even if only for completeness. And because it's the only film where Lupine wears the pink jacket. But if you want to see a good movie, I advise you to choose another one.

Good vision.

This is the 3rd Lupin Anime film. It's suppose to have the similar style from the 3rd TV series.

It takes place in New York mostly. Where we find Lupin being chased by Zenigata like always. After that he encounters an old woman who tells him that she holds the secret to the Gold of Babylon. Which is in fact the Babylon Tower itself that was meant to be the tallest structure known to man kind. As lupin progresses on his journey to unlooking the secret, he runs into the New York Mafia who also want the gold for themselves. With the help of his comrades and Zenigata using his own team of women to lure Lupin. This will be one crazy adventure for our favorite thief.

This one is nothing compared to Secret of Mamo or Castle of Cagliostro.

The animation is a little sloppy. Makes the animation in Secret of Mamo look better. Has some slap stick humor in it as well.

It's more like seeing one of those Cartoon shows in the 80s.

Has some laughs to it, but wouldn't say it's the best in the world.

I wouldn't recommend it to other Die-hard Lupin fans. It's something to see every now and then, but not on the top 5 list of an anime website.

I give it 6.5/10 for a decent Lupin anime to watch.
