Richard Nixon builds the Tower of Bable, but is being undermined by the Nostradamus cult. His daughter is kidnapped by an animated version of Benny "The Jet", but Japan's greatest thief, Lupin III, saves the day. Goemon defeats the Brazilian soccer team along the way.
A Nostradamus Cult and a group of terrorists are after the original book of Nostradamus. Which is owned by Douglas one of the richest men in America. They kidnap his daughter and will trade her back if he gives them the book. That won't happen with Lupin the 3rd up to prevent a valuable book fall in the hands of terrorists.
Easily one of the best of over a dozen feature-length Lupin III animated features and TV specials made between 1979 and 2000, DIE, NOSTRADAMUS! is a 1995 film (98 min.) that showcases all of the Lupin series&#39; regular characters to great effect, but also unleashes a formidable stable of new villains and some interesting supporting characters, including Julia, the fearless, precocious child who&#39;s heir to one of the world&#39;s largest fortunes, and Douglas, her blindly ambitious father whose U.S. presidential campaign is derailed by her kidnapping. For those new to the Japanese animated Lupin III phenomenon (introduced on TV in Japan in 1971), the regular characters are as follows: Lupin the 3rd, famous jewel thief and grandson of famous French literary character Arsene Lupin; Fujiko, Lupin&#39;s gorgeous, buxom and duplicitous sometime partner; Jigen, Lupin&#39;s fedora-wearing, gun-toting sidekick; sword master Goemon; and the gang&#39;s ever-persistent nemesis, Inspector Zenigata.<br/><br/>The action in the film is fast and furious and moves from Brazil to an unnamed city in the U.S. (the site of Douglas&#39;s 200-story skyscraper HQ, the tallest building in the world) to a Devil&#39;s Island-type penal colony to the interior of the Amazon jungle and back to the U.S. Several different parties are all after an original, complete copy of Nostradamus&#39; predictions that Douglas keeps in a vault in his skyscraper. One of these parties is the cult leader of the Church of Nostradamus who needs the book to bolster his own power. The Brazilian soccer team gets involved at one or more points in the story.<br/><br/>The big action climax occurs in the giant Douglas skyscraper as all parties converge in a race against time to get the book before the bombs planted by one of the competing factions go off. There&#39;s quite a lot of genuine suspense and destructive spectacle in this section of the film, which will no doubt please fans of the series but may help to explain why, at least in the last three years, this film has not been picked up for distribution in the U.S. Some of the action here simply hits a little too close to home after 9/11.<br/><br/>While Lupin and Fujiko maintain their sense of humor throughout the film and even get romantic during one unusual interlude (with the appropriate-and expected–clothes-shedding), the overall tone is more serious and straightforward than most Lupin features. Things don&#39;t get too ridiculous or outlandish as they do in, say, LEGEND OF THE GOLD OF BABYLON (1985) and PURSUIT OF HARIMAO&#39;S TREASURE (1995) to name two Lupin features that are available in the U.S. I would rank NOSTRADAMUS with Hayao Miyazaki&#39;s CASTLE OF CAGLIOSTRO (1979) as the two best Lupin animated features. Others I would recommend include THE FUMA CONSPIRACY (1987) which, like CAGLIOSTRO, is available in the U.S., BURNING ZANTETSUKEN (1994), DEAD OR ALIVE (1996), and WALTHER P38 (1997, also reviewed on this site).
Lupin III: Die Nostradamus is a great film. The animation is crisp, humor at its best and action non-stop. This one is even more risqué compared to other Lupin films, containing nudity and a high body-count.<br/><br/>The premise of the story is rather straight-forward. Douglas, the heir to a wealthy Georgian-based clan, is planning to run for the American presidency. Douglas&#39; daughter Julia is kidnapped by a cult associating themselves with the famous predictor Nostradamus. They seek Douglas to call off his presidency aspirations and give them his ancient book of Nostradamus&#39; predictions. Meanwhile Lupin and his gang are looking to save Julia and claim a $50 million prize for the book of Nostradamus also. <br/><br/>This Lupin has a lot going on in it. With various action in Brazil, including the Amazon jungle, Morocco, Atlanta, Grenada and Executioner&#39;s island. Many different action sequences and small but effective jokes put this over-the-top as on of Lupin&#39;s best yet.<br/><br/>If you&#39;re big on Lupin, anime or even film in general I&#39;d recommend this. Kick back, relax and enjoy the ride!
