Translation Notes[]
The company that Smith poses for in the Japanese original is "Wana Wana Brothers", a pun on Warner Bros. and was used in the English Crunchyroll translation. Both on the English Discotek translation and the Italian Blu-ray, this was translated on the subtitles as "Trapping Brothers" / "Trappola Bros." referencing that the company is a trap for Lupin. This was changed in the Italian dub as the company and his fake name weren't mentioned.
Smith calls himself Carlo Punch in the Japanese original, the Italian Blu-ray and an English fan translation while on the English Crunchyroll and Discotek translations, he was translated as Carnel Puche.
In the Japanese original when heard that Fujiko Mine would be in the film, Lupin says "Starring Fujiko Mine?" with starring being said in English. The English Crunchyroll translation changed this to "Would Fujiko perform?", the Discotek translation to "Fujiko's going to star in it, too?" while the fan translation used "The female lead is Mine Fujiko?".
The Italian dub drops the references to Billy the Kid and Wyatt Earp however the latter appeared in a redubbed line on the Blu-ray.
In the Japanese original, Lupin says a few lines in English. "Love scene" when discussing with Carlo Punch. "Fujiko, come back!" when Fujiko climbed onto the ladder and saying "thank you" to the stagecoach driver, the latter shortened to "thanks" on the Discotek translation but is fully translated on other sources. On the Italian Blu-ray, this was kept in English rather than being translated to emphasize that he was speaking in English. This was changed in the Italian dub.
Kan Tokumaru was not credited on the English Discotek credits.
Censorship[]
Italian[]
While it is unknown whether the original airing had these scenes, there are two missing scenes in the Italian dub. These were cut in not just the TV airings but also VHS and DVD releases. It is unknown whether it is lost due to the cut or were never dubbed.
- From 10:28 to 10:35, Lupin talking to the stagecoach driver was cut. The missing lines are:
| Italian Blu-ray (English translation) | Crunchyroll translation | Discotek translation | Fan translation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lupin: Driver, get us down there! | Lupin: Hey, old man... Lets go over there. | Lupin: Hey driver, let's head over there! | Lupin: Coachman, please stop over there. |
| Stagecoach Driver: Okay. | Stagecoach Driver: Yes, sir. | Stagecoach Driver: Yes, sir. | Stagecoach Driver: As you wish. |
| Lupin: Thanks. | Lupin: See to it... | Lupin: Good man! | Lupin: I'm grateful. |
- When the sheriff is revealed to be Zenigata from 15:15 to 15:21, his line was cut as well as the camera pan. The missing line is:
| Zenigata: I'm playing the famous sheriff, Wyatt Earp! (laughs) |
In the Italian Blu-ray, the scenes were restored using what appears to be using the dub script however since the voice actors passed away, unknown voice actors voiced the missing lines doing impressions of Lupin and Zenigata with a difference in audio quality. While Lupin is a close match, Zenigata however sounds different resembling more of Enzo Consoli and Rodolfo Bianchi. This means that it is one of the few times that Roberto Del Giudice and Marcello Prando doesn't voice Lupin and Zenigata in Part 2 in Italian.
Notes[]
- Lupin says "Oh my darling, oh my darling" to Fujiko, this is from the traditional folk song Oh My Darling, Clementine. Both the Japanese original and the Italian dub have this song.
