Night Of The Juggler, New York Killer 4K Restored Ver. [UHD+Blu-ray]

[Machine Translation] Set against the backdrop of New York City, this film depicts a father s life-or-death chase from the morning a kidnapping occurs until the case is resolved and the world has gone wild for this story brimming with nonstop action and a sense of realism! Though it has garnered a large fan base, this legendary masterpiece which was long difficult to access worldwide due to rights issues and was released only once on VHS in the 1980s, let alone via streaming or other formats is finally returning as a 4K remaster. Starring James Brolin, the acclaimed actor known for *Capricorn One* (1978) and *The Amityville Horror* (1979), delivers a full-throttle performance as a father whose beloved daughter is suddenly kidnapped right before his eyes. Cliff Gorman, who made a name for himself on stage and in William Friedkin s *Midnight Party* (70), plays the kidnapper Gus Soltic, while Richard S. Castellano who cemented his popularity as Clemenza in Richard S. Castellano, who cemented his popularity as Clemenza in *The Godfather* (1972); and in the role of Detective Barnes, a former colleague who harbors a grudge against Boyd and relentlessly pursues him, Dan Hedaya, a renowned supporting actor known for films such as *Commando* (1985), round out the cast, and the ensemble of actors emblematic of that era is a highlight in itself. The film is based on the novel of the same name by William P. McGivern, one of America s leading best-selling authors. Initially, Sidney J. Furie known for films such as *The Man Who Knew Too Much* (1965) served as director, but production was halted when James Brolin fractured his leg during filming. Fury stepped down because the schedule for his next project was approaching, and up-and-coming director Robert Butler, who had worked on TV dramas such as *Columbo* and *Star Trek*, was selected as his replacement. Sean Boyd, a former police officer and current truck driver, had separated from his wife and was living in New York with his only daughter, Kathy. Today was Kathy s 15th birthday. Boyd gave her tickets to a ballet performance as a gift and walked her to Central Park as she headed to school; it was supposed to be a peaceful day, just like any other, for the two of them. But suddenly, Kathy was dragged into a stranger s car. Having watched his daughter get kidnapped right before his eyes, Boyd desperately gave chase, but during the pursuit, he caused a rollover accident and was rushed to the hospital. While receiving treatment for his injuries at the hospital, Boyd grows frustrated with the questioning by the NYPD investigation team led by Detective Sergeant Toneri. He slips out of the hospital and sets out on his own to search for his daughter. And so began a long day set in New York, pitting Boyd against the kidnappers and the NYPD! UHD + 2-Disc Blu-ray Set.
