I love Lupin III as a series, but this one is a bit dull. The animation in this caper comedy feature leaves something to be desired. As do the racial stereotypes that seem to be a bit prevalent in this particular film.
The story centers around Lupin chasing down a legendary treasure left by Nebuchadnezzar in ancient Iraq. All the while being pursued by mob gangsters who are also after the treasure.
If you're a fan of Lupin III's adventures and comic hijinks, I'd say you should give it a go. That being said, there are many other Lupin feature-length films that are better.
