Lupin III: The Fuma Conspiracy (Columbia/Tri-Star Demo DVD, 2002)

Lupin III: The Fuma Conspiracy is a Japanese adventure comedy OVA/anime film that was released in December 1987 in Japan and in 1993 in the USA. The film recieved heavy backlash and a box office bomb in Japan due to the change of voice actors (due to a tight budget that was mostly used for the animation).

In 2002, Columbia/Tri-Star Home Entertainment made a demo DVD and VHS of the film for an attempt to get video rights to the OVA. It was only released for a limited time before it went out of stock a month later.

Audio/Subtitle Options
The demo DVD includes the original Japanese version, the Costal Carolina/AnimEigo English dub, and an entirely new and unreleased English dub made by an unknown studio (possibly either New Generation Pictures or Maginum Video Tape & Dubbing) that retains the "Lupin" name, has better voice acting, and has dialogue closer to the Japanese version.

The subtitle options are the English subtitles for the original Japanese version, and two dubtitles for the old and new dubs (AnimEigo/Costal Carolina and New Generation/Maginum).
