Voyage to Danger (Orders to Assassinate Lupin) is a very forgettable special.
The plot of this movie involves Lupin and his gang being in a submarine for twenty minutes, with little to no conflict. It's immensely boring. After this, the movie takes place on an evil guy's militarized headquarters in a jungle. The evil guy wants the submarine so he can fire nukes at people.

The most fundamental problem with Lupin III movies is that they almost never seem to be able to justify their runtime. Lupin III was written for television, and so—as exceptions to the short and sweet episodic formula of the series—these films always end up needing to pad out the runtime with tiresome and predictable twists and turns. Yes it’s nice to see Masaaki Osumi’s return to the series in his only Lupin feature film, and yes his direction is just as sharp as it was in Part I, but the only directors who have truly been able to make Lupin neatly fit in film format
