Night Of The Juggler, New York Killer 4K Restored Ver.

[Machine Translation] Set in New York City, the film depicts a father's deadly chase from the morning of the kidnapping until the case is settled, and the world goes wild with the breathless speed and realism of the story! Although the film has created many fans, it has long been difficult to view worldwide due to rights issues, and was only released once on VHS in the 1980s, let alone distributed as a package. The lead role of Sean Boyd is played by James Brolin, the famous actor of "Capricon 1" ('78) and "The House of the Devil" ('79). He plays the role of a father whose daughter is suddenly kidnapped in front of his eyes, and he does his best to play the role. The kidnapper, Gus Soltic, is played by Cliff Gorman, a stage actor who first gained attention in William Friedkin's "Midnight Party" ('70), and Lieutenant Tonelli, who is in charge of the case, is played by Richard S. Castellano, who gained popularity for his role as Clemenza in "The Godfather" ('72). Dan Hedaya, a well-known motorcycle player known for his role in "Commando" ("Commando") ("Commando") ("Commando") ("Commando") ("Commando") ('85), plays Detective Burns, a former colleague of Boyd's who holds a grudge against him and is relentlessly pursuing him. Based on the novel of the same title by William P. McGivern, one of America's best-selling authors. The film was initially directed by Sidney J. Fury, known for "International Intelligence Agency" ('65), but the shooting was interrupted when James Brolin broke his leg during filming. Fury had to drop out due to the schedule of his next film, and was replaced by Robert Butler, an up-and-coming director who had worked on TV dramas such as "Detective Columbo" and "Star Trek". --Sean Boyd, a former police officer and current truck driver, has separated from his wife and lives with his only daughter, Cassie, in New York City. Today is Kathy's 15th birthday. Boyd gives Cassie tickets to a ballet performance, takes her to Central Park to go to school, and a normal, peaceful day is about to begin for them. Suddenly, however, Kathy is pulled into a strange car. Boyd, whose daughter was kidnapped right in front of him, desperately chases after her, but during the chase, the car overturns and he is taken to the hospital. While being treated for his injuries at the hospital, Boyd is questioned by a New York City police investigation team led by Lieutenant Tonelli, but he is fed up and leaves the hospital to search for his daughter on his own. Thus began a long day of Boyd vs. the kidnappers vs. the NYPD in New York City! 4K restored master from the original camera negatives, with Japanese dubbing from the TV broadcast version (first broadcast on February 2, 1985 on Fuji TV's Golden Western Theater)!
