Sex & Nudity

  • The main female character is introduced lying on a bed, completely nude. She then awakens and takes a shower; an unseen man makes (non-sexual) comments on her beauty, to which she responds. She then discovers that the man has been filming her, and she deactivates the camera. She then dresses up in a skintight leather jumpsuit, forgiving the man while telling him not to act inappropriately again. Throughout most of the sequence, her breasts (including nipples) and posterior are visible.
  • The protagonist's love/lust/desire for the main female character is an key theme in the film.
  • A woman accepts a man's offer to a date, and she starts applying makeup. Impatient, the man makes a mildly sexual remark on how she doesn't need to.
  • A man takes a shower. He is nude, but nothing objectionable is seen, and the (brief) scene is mainly intended for comedic purposes.
  • A woman tells a man of the sadistic nature of one of the villains. In a flashback, the henchman is shown whipping the woman at the hips, which tears the back of her jumpsuit. Her backside is shown briefly before returning to reality. The man comments on how he rarely finds himself in such situations.
  • A man proclaims his love for a woman, and she offers him to kiss her. The man chuckles mischievously, but the woman, noticing his perverted behaviour, smacks him on the face.
  • A man attempts to (comically) force himself onto a woman, and cartoonishly dives at her, with his pants coming off in the process. However, he is knocked out by sleeping drugs previously given to him by the woman, and he falls to the ground. His rear is shown as he falls. The woman is wearing lingerie throughout the scene.
  • A henchman chases a man through a classical painting depicting naked women.
  • A woman wears a somewhat revealing outfit (tight pink jeans and a bra-like top).
  • A man and woman playfully begin to make out, but are stopped by the main villain, who's repulsed by what he's seeing.
  • The main villain's lair includes copies of Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel paintings of Adam and Eve and the Creation of Adam. The paintings depict nudity in a non-sexual manner.

Violence & Gore

  • Jigen fires his gun twice, the first time killing a Mamo clone without any blood coming out. The rest of the violence is mild, save for Goemon's killing of Flinch by cutting his face in three pieces.

Profanity

  • The Streamline dub contains mild profanity, as does Geneon's subtitled version. Moderate profanity (including a few "S.O.B."s) in the Geneon dub.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • A man is shown drinking a glass of wine at a cafe.
  • A man nervously lights a cigarette, and passes it to another man, who takes a puff.
  • A broken bottle of Jack Daniels' is found in a hideout.
  • A man smokes a cigarette.
  • A woman pours a martini, but doesn't drink it.
  • Two men eat at a Japanese resturant. There is a bottle of sake at their table, and one of the men holds a cigarette in his hands.
  • A man smokes a cigar.
  • A man drinks from a bottle of Jim Bean.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • Mamo's voice can be particularly haunting, especially when Mamo's gnomish look is revealed halfway through the film. Also, Lupin's clone gets hanged at the beginning, and Zenigata drives a stake into his (the Lupin clone's) heart.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Sex & Nudity

  • A man finds a room containing foetuses resembling the main villain. Not sexual.
  • The main villain attempts to show the hero's perverted nature to his love interest by using a special device that visualizes his subconscious. The scene depicts live-action images of women's breasts, rear ends and gential area (covered by panties). The main female character is then shown flying across the screen, followed by a brief shot of her flirtatiously posing, completely nude (only her breasts are visible). The arrow of the male symbol is then shown entering the circle of the female symbol, implying the protagonist's sexual desires. The woman is repulsed.
  • A man and a woman romantically kiss, but a mischievous smile comes to the man's lips. He then pulls down the front of the woman's dress and presses his finger against her nipple, akin to the pressing of a button. The woman is at first surprised, but after lifting her dress back up, proceeds to kiss the man again.
