Originally broadcast in 1996, Twilight Gemini was the ninth installment in the series of made-for-TV movies starring manga artist Monkey Punch's master thief. Mafia don Dolune gives Lupin half of a diamond known as the Twilight: when the two halves are brought together, they form the key to a fabulous treasure. Lupin heads for Morocco to find the long-lost loot and is attacked by masked assassins, a whip-wielding transvestite, and the inevitable Inspector Zenigata and his inept Interpol henchmen. No one expects a Lupin film to make too much sense, but this flimsy tale is both underwritten and badly paced. The chase scenes generate little excitement, and the fights lack panache. Although Lupin III remains one of the most durable franchises in anime history, Twilight Gemini ranks among the lesser works in the canon. Unrated; suitable for ages 15 and u p: Nudity, violence, sexual situations, tobacco use. --Charles Solomon

 Lupin goes to Moroco with half a Dimond May 1, 2008
I have only seen two Lupin films, so you can call this a review from someone who is new.
Being the 8th film in the series, Lupin the 3rd is as popular to Anime as James Bond is popular to Hollywood movies.
Both Lupin and James Bond share allot in common, they pick up allot of ladies.
They are always solving mysteries that involve corrupt people who desire for power.
But the major different is, Lupin is a thief from France, James is a Brittish Spy.
So that would explain why Lypin is able to pick up all the chiks then.
OK, so anyway, Lupin is given half of a dimond from an old family friend who is suffering from ill health and the old guy asks Lupin to go and find the Geltic treasure.
Allong the way, a the usual detective who tries to catch Lupin in every movie is at it again often trying to catch Lupin for his theifory acts. But this time there is this French Commissioner who is also after Lupin (for reasons not to be explained as they give away allot of the story line)
Then there are usual Lupin characters, especilly this blonde lady who always seems to be in the same place as Lupin on her own missions and they happen to get into bed together only to be interupted before the fun starts.
But as always, Lupin the 3rd is NOT a Hentai, even though there are breasts exposed, they are nothing more than just Ecchi material.
The real highlight is with one special character by the name of Laura who lives as a Geltic girl who is fighting for the freedom of her people in Morroco.
For anyone who likes Quicksand in Anime, Lupin the 3rd - The Secret of Twilight Gemini has one ripper of a quicksand peril moment that is to be soon to be believed as Lupin tries to save the sinking Laura by stripping down to his boxes and trying to make a rope out of his clothes.
It is a really touching scene and one that is one of those Lupin moments when you feel that this girl has fallen in love with the French thief.
Allong with many funny (and perverted) moments, I really enjoyed this movie of Lupin the 3rd.
But in the end, that is only just my opinion.
I found this movie when someone told me where the quicksand scene came from on YouTube so I was really happy to enjoy buying this while I had the name to guide me.
And to top it all off, for those who want a beautiful Belly Dancer dancing in the creddits, well this one has just the type of creddit scenes you are looking for.
Overall, an enjoyable Anime and it has brought my interest in Lupin the 3rd.
 Easily the worst of the Lupin movies February 19, 2008

This is one bad movie for those who are very familiar with the Lupin movies. It had everything that makes an anime bad. This one is almost unwatchable. When I first saw this I couldn't believe this was Lupin the 3rd I was watching.
The story began interesting enough. Lupin pays a visit to a clinically ill mob boss. He gives Lupin a jewel and tells him about a treasure located in Moracco. Upon arriving there Lupin learns that the jewel has another half. While he's trying to locate this piece, he finds himself the target of a tribal clan.
This movie is plagued by some very bad writing. And each time the story begins to get worst, there's a topless nudity shot of Fujiko. There's no real suspense because it is very easy to figure out who has the other jewel half and who the lead villian is. Some scenes are very annoying from the start. And they make it worst by stretching it for no real reason at all.
This movie could only appeal to someone new to Lupin or someone who refuses to recognize a bad anime when they see one. Unfortunately, the latter happens to run quite rampant here on amazon. But don't sweat it, you can count on The Main Man to call a spade a spade. Even though alot of people hate me for it.
 Lupin's first and surely not his last movie February 28, 2006

Legend has it that the Twilight diamond is the key to a Moroccan treasure of immeasurable value. So when the international thief Lupin is given the Twilight in an act of faith, it's off to Morroco!
This movie may be old but it's on DVD it's supposed to have a sharp image. The sound is fairly decent, my least favorite thing is it doesn't have the same voice acting as the TV series.
I'm inspired by Lupin being an international thief. I'm from a small town name Winnsboro, Louisiana and it's boring. I want to travel all over the world and steal.

lupine the 3rd secret of the twilight gemini is definatly worth your money! all the previus people say the characters are slaughterd! not true at all! when iwanted to buy this movie and read all the bad reveiws i thought twice about buying it. but i did. and i am glad i did. in this movie goemon is not slaughtered(character wise),he doesnt play a big role but to avenge his rival!
this movie contains nudity and drug use. so it is suitable for a mature 12 year old. good i hate reveiws without ratings in them! so that out of the way...lupin has to get the treasure in morroco and has to find the other part to the "key"!
be sure to pick this one up! good
not bad...a fun ride... July 3, 2003

If everyone compares every Lupin movie with The Castle of Cagliostro (CoG) then of course all the other movies might seem bad. But CoG is what it is and the same goes for The Secret of the Twilight Gemini. Gemini is yet another adventure about searching for lost treasure, but this one is unique from the TV episodes because it has time to develop the story and it does quite well. Although the characters are not as light hearted and zany like CoG, they still are fun to watch. A couple gripes however I have with this film. Zenigata was not nearly as funny or really that involved as he could of been. Sometimes Zenigata's involvement in a TV episode or movie can make or break the episode, in this case it doesn't break it but he is a character that the Lupin fan most likely has grown to love. Overall this film is fun to watch but sometimes times to take itself too seriously (i.e flashbacks in silent movie format) but this part is most likely a spoof. Anyhow, if you are a Lupin fan and watch the show then you should pick this one up, its a fun ride all the way through.
