Bonus Month 2 Episode 1 - Lupin the Third (2014)

More like Lupin the Turd amirite

 

For our first episode of our off season between seasons 2 and 3 of Stargate, we have the 2014 live-action Lupin the Third movie. Our idea of a theme for these was going to be a month of movies that were not in English. So naturally, Hope decided to make her pick for this be a movie that is in English. Love you, bestie. If you're a fan of the Lupin the Third franchise, I can assure you that is a movie that exists. That's about it. You probably won't enjoy this.

What we have here is a run of the mill heist movie that has very little to do with Lupin. There's definetly some guys in the movie called Lupin, Fujiko, Jigen, and Goemon. Zenigata is here too, I guess. However, the bulk of the movie covers the gay romance (don't @ me) between Lupin and the writer's OC do not steal called Michael. He's so cool. He's like Lupin but BAD!

After Michael kills an old British guy, everyone tries to track him down because he stole a necklace. A second old guy gets the necklace. They team up against him. Pretty straight forward plot, but it's made quite weird by the fact that this is an entirely Japanese cast who have been made to speak English for no reason. Sorry to the actors who were in this, but it is very clear that this is a language that you do not speak. Then again, there are a couple British and Australian actors who also seem to speak English as though they don't understand it either. Also, a bunch of the English is ADR, so this is their best take.

 

In spite of all the problems with this movie, Zenigata was cast perfectly. I have no problems with him at all.
