Line 15:
Either accidentally or intentionally, the [[So Bad It's Good|delightfully]] [[Camp|campy]] American [[Bruce Willis]] (no, really!) vehicle ''[[Hudson Hawk]]'' has a number of similarities to ''Lupin III''.
 
Has nothing to do with the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' [[Harry Potter (Franchise)/Characters|character]].
----
=== This series features examples of: ===
* [[Abridged Series]]: [[Team Four Star|KaiserNeko's]] brilliant but sadly short-lived one, which tackled eight episodes from ''Shin Lupin III'', including the [[Missing Episode|infamous Nazi one]]. Episodes can be found scattered around [[YouTube]].
* [[Absurdly Sharp Blade]]: Goemon's traditionally-made katana, Zantetsuken. Various explanations are given as to why it is so sharp, but generally it's just assumed to be due to the unusual metal of the sword.
* [[Action Girl]]: Fujiko, although it varies. Early on, she was often a [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]], but later works have made her the [[Action Girl]] to contrast with the Girl of the Week that Lupin is chasing.
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]:
** The otherwise awesome manga often implied Lupin was a rapist. This was changed in the anime.
Line 29:
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Goemon and Zenigata, on and off, in the early manga, TV series, and movies.
* [[Animation Bump]]:
** Several episodes of series 2 (72, 77, 82, 84, 99, 105, 143, 145, 151, 153, 155), three movies (''[[Lupin III/Recap/The Mystery of Mamo|Recap]]'', ''[[The Castle of Cagliostro|The Castleof Cagliostro]]'' and ''Farewell To Nostradamus''), ''[[Lupin III/Recap/The Fuma Conspiracy|The Fuma Conspiracy]]'', and three specials (''Elusiveness Of The Fog'', ''Play The Lupin'' (a batch of music videos that were released on DVD and [[Blu -Ray]]) and ''[[Lupin III/Recap/Blood Seal Eternal Mermaid|Blood Seal Eternal Mermaid]]'') were done by [[Telecom Animation Film]].
** Telecom has also worked on ''The Legend Of The Gold Of Babylon'' (Backgrounds, Key, In-Between and Finish Animation), ''Seven Days Rhapsody'' (Key Animation by Toshihiko Masuda) and ''Sweet Lost Night'' (Backgrounds) as well.
** The [[Oh! Production]] episodes of the 2nd series that (pre Telecom) Kazuhide Tomonaga did Key Animation on (which are episodes 4, 8, 14, 20, 25, 31 and 63, he was also stationed at Oh! Production for ''Mystery Of Mamo'' as well) and [[Hayao Miyazaki]]'s stuff (manly series 2 episodes 145 and 155 and ''The Castle Of Cagliostro'', he also worked on the first series as well).
Line 103:
** Parodied to hilarious effect in the corresponding [[The Abridged Series|Abridged Series]] episode when part of it is set to "The White Cliffs of Dover" while the girl stares into space.
* [[Dissonant Serenity]]: Jigen goes through this trope fairly often, which has earned him the [[Fan Nickname]] of "lounge king".
* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Clarisse, Murasaki, Fujiko ([[Badass in Distress|sometimes]])... you can pretty much take your pick here. There's one in pretty much every Lupin movie or TV special, in fact; they often start out distrusting Lupin but come over to his side by the end.
* [[Double Entendre]]: Often.
