Helps that unlike the Japanese, the English side [[TheOtherDarrin never had a consistent voice cast]], making different voice actors easier to take.

* HarsherInHindsight: The mass replacement of the cast may have been contested, to say the least, but over time, replacing them again became a necessity. Creator/KiyoshiKobayashi was the last member of the original cast still with the franchise before he retired from the role of Jigen, meaning as of 2021, the characters once again have none of their original voice actors...and unlike when this film was made, it's permanent, many of them having retired prior to their passing, and even the lone survivor, Eiko Masuyama, having already handed the role to Miyuki Sawashiro back in 2012.

** YMMV. It is without doubt a ''listenable'' dub, which is more than can be said of other studios' efforts at the time. This dub happens to be one of the very first made by Coastal Carolina Studio, which would later produce the highly-praised dubs of ''[[Manga/AhMyGoddess Oh My Goddess!]]'' and ''Manga/YoureUnderArrest''. Everybody has to start somewhere.

* MisBlamed: The replacement voice cast. They were just actors doing a gig (most of them had actually played incidental parts in "Pink Jacket", so they already knew the series), but to hear fans of the time react, they may as well have firebombed Tokyo. Toshio Furukawa in particular apparently received a lot of hate mail for playing Lupin. Translated shots of the ''Fuma'' program booklet show that at least some of the actors anticipated this; many of them praise the original actors to the hilt and seem downright apologetic to be playing their characters.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Had there not been such an extreme backlash against this movie on the part of ''Lupin'' fans, these five actors could have become the new permanent cast, and the franchise itself may have gone in a very different, more experimental, direction – hell, the anime industry ''itself'' might have changed, as acceptance of replacements here could easily have led to more long-running anime franchises switching their actors out more often when they got too expensive. Instead, ''Lupin'' reverted back to form two years later and remained in something of a stasis for the next two decades.
