1999: A Popcorn Odyssey is the 124th episode of Lupin the 3rd Part 2.
Synopsis[]
Professor Pancho has devoted his life to solving the problem of food supply. He and his wife have conceived of a popcorn machine in the U.S. that can increase the quantity of corn by a million times, but producing the actual mechanical device will cost them a fortune. Lupin decides to help them out and invents a rocket that flies on corn fuel, thinking that maybe he and Fujiko will take a trip to the moon...

Notes[]
- The title in the original version references 2001: A Space Odyssey. Like the film, there are also scenes where it plays The Blue Danube.
- The English title was changed due to both copyright and translation reasons on streaming services such as Crunchyroll however this was reverted back to its original title on the Discotek Lupin the Third Part II: Collection 4 DVD Box set. This is because 旅 (tabi) can be translated as trip or journey however the Japanese title of 2001: A Space Odyssey was 2001年宇宙の旅 (2001nen uchū no tabi).
- Yuzo Aoki came up with the character designs of Professor Pancho, his wife and various background characters.
- The idea of Lupin and Fujiko wanting to go to the Moon was later revisited in Part III Episode 29.
- The episode was originally aired in stereo however some airings of the episode are in mono as the stereo master tape was thought to be lost. The stereo tape was recovered and used in Japanese broadcasts when the episodes were remastered. The Italian and Spanish dubs are in mono.
