''Lupin the Third'' began life as a {{Manga}} character, but this was not viewed as a limitation. The first Lupin film was a LiveActionAdaptation produced in 1974. Compared to the many anime films that came later, these works stand out as actors attempt to portray cartoonish physics on limited budgets.

Either accidentally or intentionally, the [[SoBadItsGood delightfully]] {{camp}}y American Creator/BruceWillis film, ''Film/HudsonHawk'', has a number of similarities to ''Lupin III''.
