Rupan III

Legend of the Gold of Babylon

                     V--V
          G-----------PG----------PG13-----------R------NC17

Rupan can never pass up the opportunity to acquire some treasure and when hints to the whereabouts of the gold of Babylon are found in New York, you know darn well where the master thief is going to be spending his vacation.

This, of course, is not without its problems. First, apparently some of the New York organized crime figures are also interested in the location of the gold of Babylon. Secondly, some of the clues are contained in ancient tablets that, for some reason, were found under Madison Square Gardens. Thirdly, a mostly drunk bag lady name Rosetta seems to be involved with the location and destiny of the gold.

There are also hints of aliens.....

This movie has lots of action and a distinct Toon feel to it all. Quite bazzar in many respects.

The Fuma Conspiracy

                     V--V
          G-----------PG----------PG13-----------R------NC17

Goemon is getting married. His bride to be is the lovely young Murasaki of the Suminara family. One of the things that happens at their wedding is the presentation of an old vase that has been in the Suminara family for hundreds of years to Goemon, who is to become the new head of the family. Just as this ceremony is to happen, the vase is stolen by a group of modern day ninjas of the Fuma clan.

Naturally, the vase is not just for looks, it contains a map to a hidden treasure.

Of course, the master thief Rupan must try to find the treasure. In pursuit is the Fuma clan, and Inspector Zenigata, who thought Rupan was dead.

This is a really neat action packed movie with lots of fun and action.
