Already grabbed the Kino 4K from Orbit, but I'll be double dipping as this is getting an FiM encode.

MifuneFan · 08-08-2025, 11:31 AM

Just a note for any region A importers, the included Blu-ray will be region B locked. The 4K will be region free.

On the one hand, it's $50 shipped to America. On the other hand, how many Kino's have I had to upgrade? Buying the "upgrade" first is a bargain. Done.

Don't remind me. It's a big pile.

At least, however, we've been incredibly lucky that overseas competition has created fantastic release options from other boutiques, for collectors not willing to settle for naff compression and/or occasionally a lack of hdr on a uhd disc. Kino's biggest mistake by a country mile with the uhd format was its choice about two years ago to switch to an even less proficient outfit for encoding than it had been using previously. The results have spoken for themselves. Failure or refusal to include og audio also hasn't done them any favors with collectors and superfans.

Are the special features included on the 4k disc as well?

I would love to know this as well. I wish it was the standard, or extras were just included on a second 4K disc. Defeats the purpose of the 4K discs being region free if the extras are on a region locked disc, unless you only care about the film I guess.

Diabolik have it now https://diabolikdvd.com/product/uk-u...on-b-preorder/

I'll be placing an order direct with Radiance mid-week to show my support. Will add a few other bits and pieces to get free shipping. Mind they have Scanavos to help get you over the £50.00 free shipping level https://www.radiancefilms.co.uk/prod...y-blu-ray-case

Scanavos are like crack cocaine in the UK very hard to get unless you know where to look.

Tis gonna be an expensive week I've started a new Stackry with The Deadly Spawn and I'll be filling up that locker. Things like that and Night of The Juggler are premium releases for me and a must have. Total heaven for a film fan.

Just charge it to the Underhills

However, I think I did spot a mistake in the restoration. In the scene where the kidnapper arrives back in the South Bronx with the girl, there is a shot that is repeated. It’s a shot of the van being stripped, where the gang members are lifting some sort of big case from the back, and they open it and get excited. It’s noticeable because the first time the shot has audio of the gang members reaction, and then when it’s shown again it’s silent. I checked a copy on YouTube and didn’t see this repeated shot.

To me, it looked like a mistake in the conform, where the same shot was accidentally inserted twice. Did anyone else see the new restoration and notice this? I can’t be 100% sure of what I saw without going to see the movie again.

Sent a message to Radiance and they replied back: Their version is ok, it does not contain the error.

Rayjg · 08-11-2025, 03:13 PM

No error version, no sale!

Nitroes · 08-20-2025, 05:47 AM

That's Amazon UK listing it https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0FMYTLLBS/

Jack_Belicec · 08-20-2025, 12:10 PM

Up on HMV as well https://hmv.com/Store/Film-TV/4K-Ult...of-the-Juggler

MifuneFan · 08-20-2025, 12:18 PM

Thanks both. I've added several more purchase links to the first post, including some more US retailers too.

Nitroes · 08-22-2025, 06:09 PM

That's Rarewaves up https://www.rarewaves.com/products/5...of-the-juggler

Once their 10% off comes around they'll be the cheapest.

tehthomas · 08-22-2025, 07:46 PM

I def want to go with the limited edition from Radiance. Just wondering to get it now or wait to a better price. 5000 units seems like a lot for this title.

LeSamourai. · 08-24-2025, 06:34 PM

I wonder if Radiance will release a Blu-ray-only version.

MifuneFan · 08-25-2025, 05:50 PM

You could tell from the stock pic, but Radiance confirmed the slip will have a cut-out for the Transmission logo:

So based on that, the one on the right is a slipcover that's going inside a larger rigid slipbox? I wasn't sure at first, and thought it might have just been the included book since Radiance hadn't done something like this before.

I think they're following the Vinegar Syndrome style of box with a slipped case inside (and booklet when included). Rumpelstiltskin and The Deadly Spawn follow the same template too - seems more labels are starting to follow this packaging style.
