History Anime / FujikoMinesLie

''Fujiko Mine's Lie'' (2019) [[note]]『LUPIN THE IIIRD 峰不二子の嘘』 (Mine Fujiko no Uso)[[/note]] is the third film set in the ''Anime/LupinIIITheWomanCalledFujikoMine'' continuity of ''Anime/LupinIII'' and was directed by Takeshi Koike. It follows ''Anime/GravestoneOfDaisukeJigen'' and ''Anime/GoemonIshikawasSprayOfBlood'', and as with those two films, contains higher levels of violence and serious characterisation than in other ''"Lupin"'' titles.

Fujiko Mine, master thief and con artist, is living with a man named Randy and his young son Gene as a maid in the remote desert. Randy has stolen $500 million from his ex-employers at Godfrey Mining, and they naturally come looking for it, tracking down the man to his hideout. Randy is eliminated, but Fujiko and Gene manage to escape. Since the only person in the world who knows where the money is hidden is now Gene, the boy becomes the new target for [[EvilInc Godfrey Mining]].

* BaitTheDog: During the course of the movie, it's highly implied that Fujiko's being nice towards Gene only as a way to get her hands on the money, which is even lampshaded by Gene himself halfway through the movie. [[spoiler: In a nice subversion, Fujiko helps Gene reunite with his father and leaves them enough money to cure his illness.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Bincam, a ruthless murderer, who is conditioned to follow the orders of his handler Carla at Godfrey Mining. [[spoiler: He overcomes the conditioning and kills his handler out of his desire to be with Fujiko.]]
* CannotCrossRunningWater: A variant for Bincam. [[spoiler: His ability to spread his curse depends on the air being dry; when the air around him is wet, he can't summon his dust storm to spread the curse. Fujiko blows up an underground spring to "ground" his powers during their final confrontation.]]
* ChekhovsGun: The devil's trumpet flower shown at the very beginning of the movie. [[spoiler: It's the same plant that provides the toxin Bincam was bioengineered to emit as part of his "curse" that hypnotizes anyone caught in his dust storms.]]
* ClothingDamage: To Fujiko's jumpsuit during her final battle with Bincam. [[spoiler: It actually helps her win when Bincam becomes DistractedByTheSexy, allowing her to plunge her blade into his heart.]]

* DoingInTheWizard: Bincam's power is supernatural-looking and referred to as a "Curse". [[spoiler: During the final battle, Fujiko reveals that there's no curse, and that Bincam's sweatglands have been modified to emit a mind-altering poisonous dust.]]
* FacepalmOfDoom: [[spoiler: How Bincam murders Carla, taking quite a long time to do so.]]

* HiddenWeapons: During the final confrontation, Fujiko reveals a extremely flexible curved blade with a ring-shaped handle she wore instead of a belt. [[spoiler: And uses it to murder Bincam.]]
* HumanWeapon: Bincam, bioengineered as a child to be the ultimate killer. He curses others, allowing him to control their minds and force them to tell their secrets or obey his commands.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: How Bincam bites the dust. Frighteningly enough, he's able to talk for a little while after being stabbed in the heart.]]
* MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Bincam is shown to be so resitant to bullets and wounds that after getting shot in the shoulder he has to be ''ordered'' by Carla to tend his wound first, because he'd rather have a snack.

* PoisonousPerson: Bincam, via his "curse." [[spoiler: His sweat glands actually emit scopalamine, a poison said to be able to control minds.]]
* ScaryTeeth: Bincam has a set of sharp, filed teeth.
* SequelHook: [[spoiler: The true masterminds behind Bincam, [[Anime/GoemonIshikawasSprayOfBlood Hawk]] and [[Anime/GravestoneOfDaisukeJigen Yael]] are yet to be revealed. Though, the after-credits sequence of ''Anime/GravestoneOfDaisukeJigen'' may be a clue.]]
** [[spoiler: Yael has also returned, with a mechanical arm to replace the one injured by Jigen]].

* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler: Randy survives burning down his bungalow.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: Bincam is normally a stoic, apathetic murder machine, but as he's enthralled by Fujiko he becomes more irrational, emotive and ultimately less efficient.

* ATasteOfTheLash: Happens to Lupin and Fujiko via Carla's whip. Lupin doesn't seem to mind, though.

* MagnificentBastard: [[spoiler: Fujiko. Over the course of the film she's able to fake Randy's death, manipulate Lupin and Jigen into helping her, convince Gene to give her the passcode to the safety deposit box, manipulate Bincam into obsessing over her (indirectly leading to him killing Carla), all while still leaving Randy and Gene enough money to possibly deal with the latter's illness]].

Randy has stolen $500 million from his ex-employers at Godfrey Mining, and they naturally come looking for it, tracking down the man to his hideout. Randy is eliminated, but Fujiko and Gene manage to escape. Since the only person in the world who knows where the money is hidden is now Gene, the boy becomes the new target for [[EvilInc Godfrey Mining]]. The sinister and other-worldly Bincam, an assassin genetically engineered to be the perfect killing machine, is sent out searching for him and his secret. Fujiko does her best to protect her young ward (and the secret of his riches, of course), ending up with her old associates Lupin and Jigen along for the ride to help her protect the boy. How much of Fujiko's guardianship is out of her desire for riches, and how much of it genuine affection for the innocent life in her care? More importantly, can she and her charge survive Bincam and his mind-altering powers to retrieve the money?
