Line 10:
Certain things are, of course, inevitable: Lupin tries to steal the girl, the treasure, the source of the Goat Bills, and whatever else he thinks he can get away with; Fujiko is in the castle trying to steal one or more of Lupin's targets as well; the Count is a formidable villain; and Inspector Zenigata is still trying to hunt Lupin down (though he gets more than he bargained for).
''Castle of Cagliostro'' is famous for being Miyazaki's first film, but a couple of its scenes achieved their own fame. The car chase at the beginning of the film was allegedly praised by [[Steven Spielberg]] as one of the greatest car chases ever set to film, and he's alleged to have called ''Cagliostro'' one of the greatest adventure movies of all time. The other famous scene is the climactic battle-and-chase in Cagliostro's clock tower, a scene at least [[Batman:
Footage from this film (as well as ''The [[Main/Mystery/Of Mamo/Recap|Recap]]'') was used in the laser disc arcade game ''Cliff Hanger''.
Line 23:
'''Lupin''': The girl.<br />
'''Jigen''': Typical. }}
* [[And the Adventure Continues...]]: Zenigata and his men are hot on Lupin's heels as everyone leaves the country of Cagliostro, and Fujiko escapes with the Goat Bills' master plates. "The End", but life goes on.
* [[Anti-Hero]]: While Lupin's place on the sliding scale is hard to pin down on the best of days, in ''Cagliostro'', he falls firmly into Type II. While he's as gleefully enthusiastic about the caper as usual, he shows more interest in protecting Clarice (choosing to save her even before he recognises her) and even lets the girl go for her own good.
* [[Arranged Marriage]]
Line 56:
* [[Fan Nickname]]: Fans sometimes call the [[Big Bad]] Count Draco due to being named so in the ''Cliff Hanger'' game.
* [[Gentleman Thief]]: This is played straight with Lupin, which may come across as strange because he's…[[Chivalrous Pervert|well, Lupin]]. {{spoiler|He's acting this way because he's still grateful to Clarisse for saving his life many years ago}}. Jigen calls Lupin out on his atypical behavior fairly early in the film.
* [[Girl in
* [[Gory Discretion Shot]]: Two deaths via clock--one of the Count's Mooks and {{spoiler|the Count himself}}--are signified only by sound.
* [[Hoist
* [[Hyperactive Metabolism]]: Lupin is severely wounded, but recovers after gorging himself to the point of being sick and then sleeping.
* [[Implausible Fencing Powers]]: Goemon falls under this trope largely because [[Katanas Are Just Better]] ("this is no ordinary sword", he says). When a wounded Lupin falls into the car from the autogyro, Goemon's sword swipe gets Lupin neatly out of his burning clothes without further scratching Lupin. (Other examples are on the page for the Trope.)
Line 99:
* [[Universal Driver's License]]: Lupin has one of these while Zenigata doesn't. (Lupin's is obviously forged.)
* [[What a Piece of Junk!]]: Lupin's Fiat 500, especially after it somehow survives having a grenade explode right on top of it. Judging from the lever Lupin pulls before the first chase sequence, it's very heavily modified.
* [[What Happened to
* [[Woman in White]]: Clarisse
* [[The X of Y]]
