Lupin III: Prison of the Past note プリズン・オブ・ザ・パスト is the twenty-sixth Made-for-TV Movie in the Lupin III franchise, and the second of two released in 2019. It originally aired on November 29th 2019, and was directed by Hatsuki Tsuji, who previously worked on animation and direction on the Lupin III series going all the way back to Red Jacket. An English language edition commissioned by TMS Entertainment themselves in association with Bang Zoom! Entertainment using the usual Lupin dub cast debuted in November 2019 at Anime NYC and is available on Amazon.Hector Corbett Finnegan, a legendary thief seen as a modern day Robin Hood, has received an unprecedented death sentence for his crimes from the Kingdom of Dorrente. With this news, other thieves from around the world decide to descend on the impenetrable El Guille Prison to help him escape, for reasons ranging from owed favors to wanting to know where he stashed all of his legendary loot. Naturally, Lupin, Jigen, Goemon, and Fujiko are also on their way to assist in his breakout, but what they find inside the prison is a far more dangerous situation than anyone imagined. The fate of the Kingdom itself, as well as the solution to the mystery of what happened to Dorrente's royal family, is in Lupin and his companions' hands.Spoilers below! Don't read below if you don't want to know how this caper turns out!

I Owe You My Life: Finnegan helped some thieves, such as Jigen, Dynamite Joe, and Doc Heinz, out of serious trouble in their past. For this, they feel they owe it to him to help him escape.

Chekhov's Gun: Yatagarasu finds a Webley-Fosbery automatic revolver when he's scrounging around for weapons after losing an anti-materiel rifle. The antique revolver has only one cartridge loaded but that one shot is enough for Jigen to shoot a detonator out of Finnegan's hand.

comment
Just Like Robin Hood: Finnegan had a reputation for stealing from those who deserved it, and was known for helping other thieves out of tight spots. Goemon invokes it as his reason for interest in Finnegan; after all, his own ancestor had a similar reputation.

Rummage Fail: Lupin attempts to fish a weapon out of a box of guns when Yatagarasu rudely interrupts Finnegan's slave auction, but only manages to fish up a Tanegashima-style match-lock musket, which he promptly loses after bullets whizz too close to his body for comfort.

comment
Latex Perfection: Jigen for Lupin, right at the beginning of the movie to help fool Zenigata into helping Lupin escape from prison. Then, the ol' Zenigata disguise helps Lupin and his gang get into El Guille Prison. And, as it turns out, Finnegan for himself; he'd had plastic surgery to be altered to look like Prince Fio, but he still wore a mask with his old face so no one would realize his plans.

 Lupin III: Prison of the Past / int_85ac41e1
comment
Grappling-Hook Pistol: Jigen uses one, of course, during the infiltration of the prison. It's also to show him sticking with his methods versus those of his friends, as Lupin uses his famous watch to launch his line, and Goemon a traditional throwing knife. The hook is also used to send the transmitter for Finnegan's suicide missile, with assistance from some gum, safely out to sea.

A-Team Firing: Not only do the bad guys almost never shoot straight, but Yatagarasu barely hits anything he's trying to shoot, even when he's got an anti-materiel rifle with a scope. Well, he is rather inexperienced, but still.

Decoy Leader: Turns out there's a reason Finnegan doesn't want to leave El Guille... he's actually in charge of everything after helping Dorrente recover its wealth through illegal arms trading. Warden Lorensa is further forced to comply because the king has a bomb implanted in his neck, and Finnegan has the trigger switch.

Party Scattering: After the reveal about the truth of El Guille and Finnegan's fate, the gang gets confronted by Lorensa and her guards; they try to fight back, but Goemon slips and falls off of the edge of the prison. Lupin goes to rescue him, leaving Jigen behind to get captured. And then, thanks to his stubborness, Goemon literally pushes Lupin and his rescue attempt away before they both crash hard into the sea, with Goemon getting washed away to a nearby island and Lupin ending up in the bowels of the prison utility rooms. The next part of the movie is them recovering from this set back and figuring out how to get back to the other two so they can stop the plan at El Guille.

The Alcatraz: El Guille Prison is a fortress to begin with, but as Lupin finds out it has a safeguard feature in case of extreme emergencies: the monoliths on the outside will jam themselves into the prison, crushing anyone inside. Only by knowing the secret safe places can anyone escape being pulverized.

comment
Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Lupin, Jigen, and Goemon are going through this at the beginning of the special. All of them have different motives for helping Finnegan: Lupin wants the treasure (and Fujiko), Jigen out of a past obligation to Finnegan, and Goemon wanting to help a man similar to his ancestor. They're bored and frustrated with each other, and all think the other's reasons are stupid and/or shallow. It takes the events of the film for them to make it to the end of the movie and re-appreciate how well they work together.
