Should i rent this?
It is possible for me to rent this film. I'm a Miyazaki fan but i've never heard of Lupin and i believe this is the second film in the series. Is there any point of renting it?
shareHell yes. I'm fairly certain you'll want to buy it after seeing it. It's a wonderful film.
share(in a ben kingsley in 'Sexy Beast' way) "YES, YES, YES"
i hope that people know what i mean, otherwise this looks a bit, um, strange.
So i'm going to have to turn this opportunity yes. It doesn't matter that i don't know anything about Lupin then?
shareNo. I did'nt. And yes, it's a great movie.
"According to urban legend, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas are great fans, who consider Cagliostro one of the greatest adventure films ever made." I agree.
Above statement taken from this webpage:

The supposed quote from Spielberg is on the box to the DVD itself, actually. Haven't heard about Lucas.
shareThe Spielberg thing is an old urban legend, where supposedly Lucas showed him Cagliostro at the Skywalker Ranch, and it inspired them when they were making Raiders of the Lost Ark. I've never confirmed whether or not that story was true, but it probably doesn't matter. Being devoted action-adventure filmmakers, it's a safe bet that Spielberg and Lucas have long been fans of Miyazaki.
shareYes, defineatly see Cagliostro. You dont have to have any knowledge of the Lupin tv series or movies to enjoy this movie
Just know that:
Lupin=thief
Jigen=Lupin's partner in crime
Fujiko=Lupin's ex lover who *sometimes* helps him with his capers
Goemon=Lupin's stoic swordsman friend they call in times of need
Zenigata=Interpol officer who wants to capture Lupin with a passion
She doesnt quite chop his head off. She makes a Pez Dispenser out of him-Dwight(Sin City)
Cheers for the summary, that helped. I watched it and thought it was a good film.
