A terrorist group, apparently a cult, following the lost prophecies of Nostradamus, is causing havoc around the world. They predict the occurrence of a disaster to their followers, when in fact they plan to cause the catastrophe. The hidden agenda of the plan is to take the current leader in the polls for the presidency out of the running.
The man in question is Douglas, and he owns the largest building in the world, easily fitting a city and a stadium. And as it turns out the top floor of the building harbours to real lost book of Nostradamus. Lupin wants the book because of its high value, and after a first unsuccessful pilfering attempt, he tries another approach.
So Lupin infiltrates a prison on a remote island, where an old friend may be able to figure out how to obtain at the lost book. While escaping, he runs into trouble with the terrorist group...

Competent![br][br]After much hemming and hawing, Lupin has occurred at me once again, and this time it was Not(!) a waste of time.[br][br]Not that its perfect mind.[br][br]The Animation Is Alright. that is to say, its consistent, not unpleasant and has a few flashes of nice work in there. On the downside, its not all that great in that theres no moments of genius to spruce things up a bit. In addition; the dvd rip what I has had frequent image burns, to the point of almost being distracting.[br][br]Sound is hit and miss; for whatever reason, Lupin sounds less wibbly than he usually is, and his moments of seriousness are betrayed by this considerably. The bulk of villains and peripheral characters get treated to stock voices, and even the core five are not particularly enthusiastic. The exception to this fairly mediocre sound effort is the young lass and her accompanying actor. Unfortunately this competence was underused as she got (with a few shining exceptions) some fairly dull lines.[br][br]Music effort is pretty forgettable, in that I have forgotten it, and this is ten minutes after watching the thing.[br][br]Now, the story reaches waaaaay too far at times, but it is actually coherent, if a bit ... recklessly irreverent to situational development. The upside is that this is a sustained fast paced story, even if it has to do a few somersaults to keep going after it jumps over plotholes.[br][br]Character development is there to a degree, even if it is done largely with shadow puppets. The sad part is that again, great big swathes of solid Tar MacAdam simply aren't there, and the leaps made over these are almost funny to watch happen. That said, the effort is entirely peripheral to the gags (for a better word) and the fairly hellbent story, and as such its not particularly worth following.[br][br]And thus is not worth following again, but for sadly the second time in five films, I can say this one was worth following the first time. The reason is that it actually tries. It manages to be entertaining simply because of the evident effort involved, and the handful of clever bits which accomplish entertainment improve things mightily.[br][br]So aye, A decent Lupin Film, have a go if you have bugger all else to do.[br]

main character
male, , bandage wrappingThe character is wrapped in bandages. It can be a portion of their body, or all of it., barefootThis character never seems to wear any shoes — possibly a martial artist that prefers to stay in close contact with the ground, or a girl from the country now living in the city.
Alas, under more dire circumstances this can also be a sign of real poverty., black hairThe character has black hair., JapaneseA character originating from the island nation of Japan., katanaA type of Japanese sword, often called a "samurai sword". The term katana may be applied to the standard size moderately curved Japanese sword with a blade length of greater than 60 cm. The katana is characterized by its distinctive appearance: a curved, slender, single edged blade, circular or squared guard, and long grip to accommodate two hands., kendoKendo is a popular sport from Japan. It consists of swordplay with one or two shinai, a two-handed bamboo sword which may also be held with one hand only, while wearing armour., middle agedSomeone is generally considered middle aged if they are between 40 to 65 years old., shoulder-length hairShoulder-length hair is hair at shoulder length, within a few centimetres margin. This hair length is longer than what one would typically, though not always, see on most males. Short hair includes hair that goes no more than a centimetre or two beyond the chin; anything longer is shoulder-length. Typical male hair at the back of the head which reaches the shoulders does not count as shoulder-length hair; the individual hair strands are very short (0-4 cm), and therefore count as short hair.
