Lupin III: Voyage to Danger, originally released as Orders to Assassinate Lupin note ルパン暗殺指令 Rupan Ansatsu Shirei, is the fifth entry in the Lupin III Yearly Specials, a series of Made For TV Movies produced by TMS Entertainment and NTV. Released in 1994, it was the first special not to be directed by Osamu Dezaki; duties were instead handed over to Masaaki Osumi, who directed the first seven episodes of the first TV series before it was revamped to be Lighter and Softer in tone.The inevitable has happened. After losing so much to Lupin, Zenigata has been taken off the Lupin case by ICPO. Feeling bad for the poor man, Lupin decides to help Zenigata on his latest case to capture a terrorist group known as Shot Shell, in hopes of him getting back on the case. To lure them out, Lupin gets his crew together to steal a Russian submarine. They also kidnap a scientist named Karen Korinsky to operate the sub, who has a mysterious connection to Jigen's past.The crew better be careful, though. Keith Haydan, the new guy in charge of the Lupin case, is hot on their tail, and unlike Zenigata, he's more than happy to kill all of them.Preceded by Lupin III: From Siberia With Love and followed by Lupin III: Dragon of Doom.Complete spoilers below — don't read further if you don't want to know how this caper turns out!

Rasputinian Death: Keith Hayden gets shot by Jigen and appears to die. Then he gets back up, at which point Jigen, Lupin, and Karen all shoot him multiple times. Even after that, he tries to get up again, only for Lupin to finally kill him with a headshot.

Chekhov's Gun: The explosive bubblegum introduced by the Middle Eastern arms dealer shows up later, when Lupin uses it to escape from a bunch of Shot Shell mooks. Lupin also uses the fake arm from the same scene to escape Zenigata's handcuffs at the end of the movie.

Damsel out of Distress: Fujiko and Karen are both held captive by John Klause, and blast their way out together (Karen initiating the escape when she realizes she has Jigen's gun, and Fujiko stepping in with an automatic weapon when the more combat-inexperienced Karen falters).

Drowning My Sorrows: The movie opens with Zenigata meeting Lupin and Jigen alone to tell them he's been taken off the case. Utterly forlorn, he pulls several bottles of hard liquor out of his coat and starts drinking, then invites Lupin and Jigen to join in.

comment
Reports of My Death Were Greatly Exaggerated: Goemon and Jigen both apparently get killed by Keith: Goemon was stabbed and fell into the ocean, while Jigen was trapped in an exploding hut. Naturally, both of them actually survive. Goemon deflected the knife so it was Only a Flesh Wound, and Jigen escaped through a tunnel just before the explosion.

Wounded Gazelle Gambit: In the climax when John Klause and his men had Lupin and the gang held at gunpoint, Fujiko tearfully begs Jean to spare her and offers herself to him. He fell for it hook line and sinker as Fujiko used it as a way to swipe a gun from him, forcing his army to back off unless they want their leader's head blown off.

Enemy Mine: Lupin decides to help Zenigata take down Shot Shell—partly because he sees an opportunity to rob Shot Shell blind, and partly because he wants Zenigata to get his old job back (since his replacement is much more dangerous).

Friendly Enemy: Zenigata views Lupin as this at the beginning of the movie. After overhearing Lupin telling Jigen how he plans to help in his case on Shot Shell, Zenigata gets emotionally moved to the point of tears that he bawls on him, with Lupin telling him he's trying to drive.

comment
Once More, with Clarity: First, a flashback shows Karen's memory of the time Jigen gunned down her father. Later, Jigen explains his side of the story, prompting a more detailed flashback: the elder Korinsky was Jigen's partner, who betrayed him after completing a job. Jigen killed him in self-defense.

Coming in Hot: Lupin begins the final assault on Shell Shot by dropping homemade bombs from a cargo plane. When the plane runs out of fuel (presumably because he used all the fuel to make bombs) he just parachutes out and lets the plane crash into a weapons factory.
