Lupin III: Legend of the Gold of Babylon (ルパン三世 バビロンの黄金伝説 Rupan sansei: Babiron no Ōgon Densetsu) is a 1985 Japanese anime movie co-directed by Seijun Suzuki and Shigetsugu Yoshida. It is the third feature film in the popular Lupin III (Lupin the Third) franchise.
Lupin searches for a gigantic hoard of hidden treasure originating in ancient Babylon, with the help of his usual team, a set of stone tablets, and a drunken old woman by the name of Rosetta. Complicating matters is Inspector Zenigata, who has been roped into judging the "Miss ICPO Beauty Contest" and must now drag a group of nominees around with him, all eager to prove themselves as agents.
This film is the only Lupin film where he wears the pink jacket from the third TV series. AnimEigo released the film with English subtitles and Japanese dialogue under the title "Rupan III: Legend of the Gold of Babylon" on VHS in the United States in 1995. As of 2010, however, it remains the only theatrical animated Lupin III feature not to receive an English dub.
