The Secret of Mamo, or The Mystery of Mamo, is the most common English name for the first animated feature film in the Lupin III franchise, made in 1978 and originally released in Japan as simply Lupin III (Rupan Sansei).note The film is now known there as Rupan Sansei: Rupan tai Kur�n – Lupin vs. the Clones – in order to differentiate it from the four other movies that followed it. The animation style is based heavily on the original manga, rather than the cleaner appearances from the first Lupin TV series.Lupin III has finally been hanged for his crimes, but eternal foe Inspector Zenigata isn't so sure. His instincts are rewarded when the corpse is booby-trapped by another, and very alive, Lupin III, expressing similar confusion at his own death. Deciding to take matters into his own hands, Lupin goes after the Philosopher's Stone, and sure enough draws the attention of perpetual Femme Fatale Fujiko and her mysterious benefactor. But when she steals the stone and it is revealed as a fake, things fall apart. Lupin and his gang barely survive a massive assassination attempt, and the eternally loyal Jigen and Goemon finally have enough and leave Lupin behind when he rescues Fujiko over their concerns.Throw in American secret agents, a mysterious island with historical figures walking around, an ancient conspiracy, and several feats of what seem to be magic – all revolving around Fujiko's contractor, a shrivelled old man named Mamo. Can Lupin and his companions discover where the dead Lupin came from or what Mamo's plan is, or will they fall apart from the strain?The movie has been licensed and released in the English-speaking world several times: First by Streamline Pictures in the early '90s, then Manga Entertainment did a UK release in the mid-'90s, then Pioneer/Geneon released it again in North America in 2003. The current license holder is Discotek Media, who put out their version of the film on DVD in 2013 and later reissued it on Blu-ray in 2022. The film is notable for being dubbed into English four times (all collected on Discotek's release).Complete spoilers below — don't read further if you don't want to know how this caper turns out! | |

| The Mystery of Mamo / int_108c268e | comment |
Hotter and Sexier: Due to being one of (if not THE) most faithful adaptations of the manga, Fujiko shows more skin than she had up to that point in the anime. Lupin's lecherous nature is played up even more than it was in the TV series at the time, and even features an instance of live-action nudity! | |

| The Mystery of Mamo / int_1282bf4f | comment |
No Celebrities Were Harmed: The Expys of Henry Kissinger and G. Gordon Liddy. Apparently, the Japanese were just as perceptive to post-Watergate malaise as Americans were. Invisible President: Appears twice, first during talks with the Soviet premier that Mamo hijacks to make demands, and again when Mamo calls him to tell him he launched his nukes. The dubs all base the voices of the two leaders on who was in power at the time of production (Jimmy Carter and Leonid Brezhnev in the Japanese and Frontier dubs, Boris Yeltsin in the Streamline and Manga dubs, and George W. Bush and Vladimir Putin in the Geneon dub. In the case of the President in the Streamline and Manga dubs, however, he seems to sound more like Ronald Reagan than Bill Clinton). | |

Franchise-Driven Retitling: In Japan, The Mystery of Mamo was originally titled Rupan Sansei, but with two television series, a live-action film, and another movie on the way, they had to retitle it to distinguish what the movie was. It is now officially known as Lupin III: Lupin vs. the Clone. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| The Mystery of Mamo / int_22cf536c | comment |
Goemon's face-off against Flinch leads to the tip of his Zantetsuken breaking off, which puts Goemon in shame, as he believes that he's unworthy to use the sword if it breaks even a little. That chipped-off tip later becomes the Chekhov's Gun when Lupin receives it from Jigen. | |

Vocal Dissonance | |
| The Mystery of Mamo / int_3a88a563 | comment |
Vocal Dissonance: During the first half of the film, Mamo is heard but not seen. He has a deep, masculine, mature voice that one expects of a rich, powerful man. This leads us to assume that he will be as impressive looking in person as he sounds. We then discover that he is actually a short, gnomish looking little man. And no, he wasn't using a voice modulator or an actor. It was his real voice. This effect is preserved in the Streamline and Geneon dubs, while he has the voice of a middle aged man in the Toho dub, and a nasally gnomish voice in the Manga UK dub. | |

| The Mystery of Mamo / int_67d0342c | comment |
Breaking the Fellowship: For a change, Fujiko's antics get Lupin to swear off her… until she's found abandoned in the wilderness and The Dulcinea Effect kicks in. This is the last straw for both Goemon and Jigen, and the trio only barely avoids coming to blows before turning their backs on each other (and, naturally, Fujiko's running the Wounded Gazelle Gambit for Mamo). The gang regathers at Mamo's Caribbean island, but after Fujiko gets kidnapped and Goemon suffers a Heroic BSoD, Lupin is eventually forced to Storm the Castle alone, despite Jigen's attempts to talk him out of it (with bullets). | |

The not-original Mamo subverts this when he realizes the Philosopher's Stone doesn't help much, if at all. When Fujiko asks if eternal life is just a dream, he responds that there's another way and takes Fujiko to a launching pad to explain plan B - trigger World War III with his private ICBM arsenal so he and Fujiko will become a new Adam and Eve. | |

Considering "disturbing the peace" isn't quite what a couple having sex would likely be doing... | |

Filling the Silence: All the English dubs, including the Toho dub, the most faithful of them all, have at least one moment of this, and it usually comes during the Coroner's Report. The Streamline, Manga UK and Geneon dubs are the biggest offenders. Some dubs also extend Mamo's dialogue in certain scenes, such as when he reveals himself to Fujiko for the first time, his discussion with Lupin about his plans for apocalypse, and his contributions to human history. | |

Villainous Breakdown | |

Villainous Breakdown: When Mamo receives a Humiliation Conga at the climax. First his attempts at immortality go awry, then the government tracks him to his hideout (because he couldn't pass up a challenge from Lupin to perform a miracle), and then Lupin foils his attempt at bringing about the end of the world. That's enough for him to go bat-shit crazy and take Fujiko for himself, trying to roast Lupin with lasers whenever he tried to get near. He even sounds crazy yet truthful when he reveals that Lupin's death at the gallows had indeed been staged all along. | |

Shout-Out: To The Italian Job (1969) with the massacre at the French café. To Steven Spielberg's Duel with the giant truck chase scene. To Phantom of the Paradise, due to Mamo being largely inspired by Swan, played by Paul Williams. To the DC Comics superheroes when non-Kissinger is seen reading a comic with a page that shows Lupin standing with Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, Robin and Aquaman. To the opening titles of 2001: A Space Odyssey when Mamo's brain goes towards the sun. In the Streamline dub when asked where he's going with the backpack, Lupin responds "I'm off to see the Wizard, what else?" In the Geneon dub Lupin tells Fujiko "Resistance... is futile" as they're making out on the way up to Mamo's throne room. | |

Obligatory Swearing: The Geneon dub has this. Notable with the usually silent Flinch, who swears twice where he didn't even speak in the original. "Shit" is scattered all over the place in the Manga UK dub – which is, ironically, one of the cleaner dubs produced by Manga UK at the time, to the point of being rated 12 instead of the 15 the company usually gunned for. Additionally, the Manga UK dub has Wolf drop one F-Bomb - at Fujiko, no less. | |

Dub Name Change | |
| The Mystery of Mamo / int_e2c4b927 | comment |
Dub Name Change: The Toho dub changes most of the character's names (though is otherwise the most faithful one to the original script). Lupin and Mamo's names are untouched, but Jigen is renamed "Dan Dunn", Fujiko is "Margo", Goemon is simply called "Samurai", and Inspector Zenigata is renamed "Detective Ed Scott". The dub, rather amusingly, inverts the usual tradition of renaming Lupin, himself; while everyone else was renamed, Lupin's name is left intact, while later dubs would flip this around, retaining the other characters' names while changing Lupin's. The Manga UK dub follows the usual tradition of changing Lupin's name for copyright reasons, referring him as "Wolf the Third" instead. Additionally, while Goemon's name is unchanged (only pronounced as "Go-men"), sometimes, he's referred to as "Samurai" like in the Toho dub. Averted in the Streamline dub, which was produced a year before Manga UK's dub. Lupin retains his name; however, his name is pronounced closer to how the English pronounce the flower, as "Loopin'" instead of the French "Loo-pahn". Worth noting that Streamline's decision to retain Lupin's name (when they hadn't in their Cagliostro dub) is the reason the Manga UK dub exists at all – London is much closer to Maurice Leblanc's heirs, who are infamously litigious. In all dubs (minus the Pioneer/Geneon dub), Starky's name is changed to Gissinger, as a reference to Henry Kissinger. | |

Koan: Goemon has a tendency to speak in these in the Manga UK dub. For example: Business and women are a pink and purple color scheme. The flea uses the dog to feed on. The bear that feels pity for the viper shall perish by its sting. Nice asses turn men into asses. Willingness to amputate without ether is the test of friendship. A promise is an iron butterfly. The tiger does not tread the path of the scorpion. All military might is an illusion. Even in the Streamline dub, he's guilty of at least a couple of these: The road to Hell is paved with pretty women. We watch sparrows while eagles pass overhead. | |

Ondo: One plays during the credits. The Geneon dub and international DVDs replaced it with an extended version of the 1979 theme (which played during the opening credits) due to rights issues, however, Discotek Media's Blu-ray release retains the song on all audio tracks. | |

Who Wants to Live Forever? | |
| The Mystery of Mamo / int_ea39d156 | comment |
Who Wants to Live Forever?: This is Lupin's immediate reaction to Mamo's offer of eternal life and youth. Fujiko's motivation is to have both Lupin and herself immortal; when it becomes clear that Mamo's not interested in making Lupin immortal, she loses interest. As she puts it, she doesn't want to live forever just to see Lupin grow old. | |

Jerkass: Lupin's is portrayed as a hedonistic criminal with only a few positive moments, bordering on his Villain Protagonist portrayal in the original manga. At multiple points, Jigen questions why he and Goemon continue to follow Lupin around despite Lupin constantly ditching them at a moment's notice and never taking their complaints seriously. Lupin is implied to acknowledge this but never gives Jigen a straight answer as to why his friends should even be with him. | |

Earthquake Machine: Mamo is able to set off earthquakes at will. Lupin figures out that Mamo used a nuclear power plant to do this, and decides to imitate the trick with nuclear warheads. | |

With Friends Like These... | |
| The Mystery of Mamo / int_fdbd6162 | comment |
With Friends Like These...: Jigen discusses with both Goemon and Lupin himself how Lupin has a tendency to completely take his two partners for granted, to the extent that he's willing to ditch them just to get in Fujiko's pants, even though the foray never goes well for him. | |

| The Mystery of Mamo / int_fdc4fab4 | comment |
Depending on the Writer: Whether Zenigata wants Lupin dead or alive in this movie is up to who's translating. The Toho dub's Zenigata could very well be the most extremist portrayal by an English dubbing company for the film. Whether or not Jigen actually is American also depends on the translator. The Streamline dub explicitly makes him American. | |
