These are both available on DVD at Amazon.com. Both are great movies.

I just took a quick look at all the titles that got mentioned here.. and i must say, lots of titles have actually been released on dvd since the last post.
Night of the Creeps, Hot Moves, Spring Break, Hardbodies, Grandview USA, The Gate, Streetwalkin', Screwballs, The Night Before, The Final Countdown, High Road to China, They Call Me Bruce, Ladies & Gentlemen.. The Fabulous Stains, Electric Dreams (on UK dvd only), Vibes, The Last Chase, and Fire With Fire coming soon on both dvd as well as blu-ray.
But what about Night of the Juggler ??
I mentioned the movie before in another thread, and TNUC mentioned it in the post above me from 2008.
I haven't seen this one since the early 90s, but i remember it being a very tense, exciting and fast-paced thriller. I can't really understand why it hasn't been released on dvd. According to IMDb it was produced by Columbia Pictures.. so that means the rights are most likely still with Sony.
This is definitely the movie that is on top of my list that i hope will ever be released again.

I got both of these a couple years back. Actually ordered them as a pack. It said skategang on the website but when I got the DVD it did say Thrashin' on the cover. It was American region but I got around that.
In case anyone is wondering about problems with DVD players playing certain region code discs, if you buy really cheap DVD players like the basic ones that you might see for like 20-30 bucks they are actually made so cheap that they don't have all that region code stuff inside them so you can play anything on them. I have a good DVD player but have one of these as a back up for those region coded discs that may not be available in your specific region.
Like 80's rocked said they are available on Amazon and that is were I got them Posts: 2586 | From: Defrauding the company from abroad | Registered: Jan 2010 | Site Updates: 24

Juggler, besides having the stupidest movie title ever, may be the sleaziest movie Columbia ever released. It is so over the top that it is very entertaining. It is also so violent, dirty looking, sleazy, and racist (Mandy Patinkin as a Hispanic cab driver anyone?) that you will just rub your eyes in disbelief. It's a lost film deserving of a DVD release.

night of the juggler sounds like my type of film,james brolin's has always been cool in my books,thought he was great in the original amityville and also thought he was excellent in the fun early 80s men on a mission movie high risk.
high risk has been released on dvd but the transfer is of really poor quality,i can vouch for this as i have a copy,about time this one got a proper decent dvd release as well.

The original Amityville is one of the best and scariest horror movies ever and James Brolin is absolutely fantastic in it.

I've seen High Risk too somewhere around '87 i think.
All i can remember is that the guys who are robbing the villa in South America are supposed to take out a guard, but instead of knocking him unconcious, the guard starts screaming when he got hit on the head.
I thought that was pretty funny. Posts: 2176 | From: The Netherlands | Registered: Jun 2011 | Site Updates: 0

I had completely forgotten about "High Risk" until guys brought it up. (That's the beauty of this place--bringing back memories of long-forgotten films.) I saw it in the theatre back in the day because the reviews at the time were all pretty good. It's a good B-movie written and directed by a guy who spent his entire career doing B-movies, Stewart Raffill. He did a lot of good family stuff ("Sea Gypsies" and "The Adventures of the Wilderness Family"), bad family stuff ("Tammy and the T-Rex" and "Mac and Me), good B-films ("Ice Pirates" and "High Risk") and one really good B-film ("The Philadelphia Experiment"). He always struck me as a solid director with a good eye for composition (his family films with nature and animals look very good).
Anyway, "High Risk" is another MIA-on-DVD film from the 80s. I'm stilll amazed that we are over two decades removed from then, and there are still a whole bunch of films that have fallen between the cracks.

I'd love to see a quality release of "High Risk" on DVD.
Another big one for me is "Ruckus," with Dirk Benedict and Linda Blair. It was similar to the later "First Blood," but less over-the-top, and with a brighter ending. Saw it some 30 years ago, and would love to see it again!
