Night of the Juggler

Big fan of this film having seen it numerous times on HBO growing up. Lots of old school, sleazy NYC on display here. And crazy cop with a grudge, Dan Hedaya, chasing ex-cop on-the-run, James Brolin, through Midtown Manhattan streets while recklessly firing his shotgun…

Batshit.  What a freakin’ blast.  The most fun we’ve had with a movie night in a while. Cliff Gorman forever. (The 4K from Transmission, the new imprint from Radiance Films, is awesome.)

A sleazebag, warzone NYC chase thriller where James Brolin’s beard tears apart the surroundings in search of his kidnapped daughter. Full throttle insanity and a cast ripe with “characters”, Night of the Juggler is a top tier grime crime jam with a rage-eyed Brolin acting…

Tim Fehrenbach

One of those movies that I can’t believe isn’t talked about more. An edge-of-your-seat 70s exploitation kidnapping thriller that oozes with social commentary and features an at-his-wits-end James Brolin trying desperately to reclaim his daughter from a misguided criminal.…

THE TAKING OF BROLIN 1 2 3

Magically deranged stuff. A movie about how New York is a horrifying violent hell that is actively trying to destroy you but only loser idiots would choose to live anywhere else. Obviously a huge influence on Die Hard With a Vengeance but the one thing that movie forgot to…

a major miracle to finally be able to see this look good after years of only having it on VHS, further cementing it as one of the great New York films of its, or any, era — the Central Park to Times Square foot/train/car chase is an all timer action sequence and hopefully…
