Lupin III Wiki


Bet on the Monaco GP is the 11th episode of Lupin the 3rd Part 2.

Synopsis[]

Lupin has come to Monaco to race in the Grand Prix. Beforehand, when he goes to the casino to try his luck, he loses all his money, even his Formula One car. It turns out that he was set up by a fixer as part of a conspiracy aimed at the race, which involves forcing Lupin to race for the mob boss responsible for the set up because if Lupin wins, then everyone who bets on Lupin wins a lot of money since all the other are expected to bet against him.

Title Card

Mistakes[]

  • On the signs in Monaco there are multiple errors, cabaret is spelt "CABALET" thoughout, "Don Jwan" should be Don Juan and "Casablanka" instead of Casablanca.
  • Jacky Stuart's name badge says "JACKY STUART" however on the board later on the episode, his name changes to H Stewart.
  • A Japanese transcript mistake forgot to put a stroke on the "ッ" character on H. Stuck's name leaving only the two dashes.
  • In the English dub, a stereotypical French sounding announcer was used despite that the commentary was meant to come from a BBC box who is a broadcaster from the UK. This means that in the English dub, the lip sync from the commentator is off.
  • The title could possibly be a reference to Charly McClain song "Who's Cheatin' Who"

Translation Notes[]

  • In the English Pioneer/Geneon translation that is also used for the Italian subtitles on the Blu-ray, Jacky Stuart was changed to Jack E. Stewart or Stuart. Niki Lauda was kept the same but changed the spelling to Nikki. Later on in the episode, the drivers named appeared on a board however they are untranslated.
Japanese English translation (+ racer)
H スチュワート H Stewart
P. ホイ-トマン P. Hoittoman ("Whitman")
N. ラウダ.. N. Lauda (Niki Lauda)
J. シェクター J. Scheckter (Jody Scheckter)
C. ロイテマン C. Reutemann (Carlos Reutemann)
ルパンIII Lupin III
J. マス J. Mass (Jochen Richard Mass)
P. デパイユ P. Depailler (Patrick André Eugène Joseph Depailler)
H. スタック [*] H. Stuck (Hans-Joachim Stuck)
R. ピーターソン R. Peterson (Bengt Ronnie Peterson)
H. パーチェ H. Pace (José Carlos Pace)
R. ゾルジ R. Zorzi (Renzo Zorzi)

Note that H. Stuck's name was missing a stroke on the third character on the board.

  • In the Italian dub, Whitman had become Whiteman and Monaco had become Montecarlo.
  • Lupin mentions Lizzie Borden in the English dub who was an American woman accused of murdering her father and stepmother with an axe.
  • The English dub adds The Simpsons reference when she say that the millionaires have enough money to make the royal family look like the Simpsons. In the Japanese original, Fujiko instead says that they have enough money to buy Monaco two to three times over.
  • As mentioned in the mistakes section, a stereotypical French announcer was chosen in the English dub while in the Japanese original the intention was that the commentators are British. This was due to that BBC had shown Formula 1 races at the time of the episode but also Formula 1 had only starting broadcasting in Japan the following year.
  • In the English dub, there was no mention of Prince Rainier or Grace Kelly and was changed to just the royal family.

Censorship[]

French[]

  • 16:32-16:48 - On the French dub, the scene when Jigen sets fire onto the gasoline causing Nexus' henchmen to be on fire as Goemon using the Zantetsuken to retrieve the money from the van was cut.

Notes[]

  • The episode features Niki Lauda, a real-life driver who was on top of the Formula One racing world at the time. Lauda, in fact, was the winner of the Formula One Tour for 1977, a year after miraculously recovering from serious injuries suffered in a crash. He won the Monaco GP in 1976. In 1977 when the episode was aired, Lauda was second and the race was won by Jody Scheckter. Lauda was also second in 1978.
  • Niki Lauda is the only driver who competed in the real life Monaco Grand Prix at the time of the episode, since the real life counterpart of Jacky Stuart (Jackie Stewart) had already retired and Whitman is fictional.
  • Socrates Nexus was based on the shipping magnate Aristotle Socrates Onassis who had business regarding casinos in Monaco.
  • The title may be a play on the famous 1980 song "Who's Cheatin' Who" by Charly McClain
  • Lupin's car is a Tyrrell P34, introduced in 1975.
