The first release from Transmission, James Brolin stars in NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER, this relentless, action-packed crime thriller as an ex-cop chasing the maniac (Cliff Gorman, All That Jazz) who kidnapped his daughter through the mean streets of NYC. A 4K UHD and Blu-ray dual-format release, special features include new commentary by Kim Newman and Sean Hogan, a new interview with Dan Hadeya, a 40-page perfect bound booklet, and slipcase packaging with pull-out poster and lobby-card postcards.
A young girl is kidnapped in broad daylight in Central Park by a murderous psychopath (Cliff Gorman, All That Jazz), who plans to demand a huge ransom for her return, mistakenly believing she is the daughter of a wealthy property developer. Unfortunately for him, she’s actually the daughter of Sean Boyd (James Brolin, True Grit), a devoted dad and grizzled ex-cop who will stop at absolutely nothing to get her back, even if it means taking out the kidnapper, his enemies in the NYPD, and the entire scuzzy underworld populating the mean streets of 1970s New York…
Adapted from a novel by William P. McGivern (The Big Heat, Odds Against Tomorrow) and directed by Sidney J Furie (The Ipcress File) and Robert Butler (Turbulence), NIGHT OF THE JUGGLER is a relentless, adrenaline packed crime thriller, combining staggering action-packed chase sequences, incredible photography (Victor J. Kemper, Dog Dag Afternoon) of the mean streets of 1970s New York at the peak of its notorious ‘Fear City’ era, and a superlative cast of supporting character actors, including Dan Hedaya, Mandy Patinkin, Richard S. Castellano, Barton Heyman and Julie Carmen. Long unavailable on home video formats, Transmission is proud to present an all time cult classic restored in glorious 4K HDR.
