Lupin III: The Lost Treasure Under the Sea (anime film)/Trivia

There was one character that was added in the film that was never included in the video game named Junior. He is one of Commander Zaai's henchmen. This character is a comical parody of the character Mr. Conductor, Junior from the infamous 2000 children's film Thomas and the Magic Railroad. This character has blonde hair, blue eyes, and speaks in a Scottish accent (a British accent in the Cinelume dub), but he wears a red jacket with a red bowtie (even when he's swimming) and has a personality similar to Nobita Nobi from the Doraemon franchise. 
It is unknown who voices Lupin III in the NYAV Post dub. It is also unknown who voices Junior in both the Buena Vista and the NYAV Post dubs, but due to Junior sounding very similar to Michael E. Rodgers in the Buena Vista dub, some fans think that Michael E. Rodgers reprised his role as Junior. Many sources on the internet, and the English credits of the NYAV Post dub, claims that Michael Liscio Jr voiced Junior in the latter dub, but it is unknown if it was true. 
This film, and the game, had a much friendlier, wackier, and tamer tone than the other Lupin III films and games in the franchise, the characters were also drawn in a similar vein to the character designs of The Castle of Cagliostro. Just like The Castle of Cagliostro, Lupin III and his gang also had tamer and friendlier personalities.
This is one of the few times where Lupin III didn't use a gun at all. 
Steve Bulen reprises his role as Jigen in the Buena Vista dub of the film. 
This is the second Lupin III film to contain a Dutch dub. The first film in the franchise to have a Dutch dub was The Castle of Cagliostro. This is also the first film in the franchise to have Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Polish, Hebrew, Arabic, Bulgarian, Finnish, and Icelandic dubs.
In all three English dubs, Junior, the other henchman, and Lupin III calls Commander Zaai "Commander Z". The "Commander Z" nickname was Marcel Jeannin's idea, was not scripted, and originated from the Cinelume dub. The nickname was never used in the original Japanese version, but it was used in almost every international dub of the film.
