You lost me on this one. I had to Google it.

On Any Sunday is a 1971 American documentary feature about motorcycle sport, directed by Bruce Brown. It was nominated for a 1972 Academy Award for Documentary Feature. [1]
This documentary follows the lives of motorcycle racers and racing enthusiasts.
Steve McQueen is featured in the film, along with Mert Lawwill, Malcolm Smith and many other motorcycle racers from the late 1960s and early 1970s.

It was little before my time. I wasn't walking or talking yet when that hit the movie screens.

It doesn't matter how old the movie is, . . . anyone who likes motorcycles of any sort will get a kick out of "On Any Sunday." I watched it with my 7 year old grandson a while back and he keeps nagging me to watch it again. Good stuff!

"On Any Sunday" is a Classic. I've got it in my library of DVDs and pull it out to watch from time to time!! It never gets old.

Another great documentary to check out is "From Dust To Glory". It follows the Baja 1000. Great motorcycle racing coverage plus a little bit on dune buggies and the trucks. I shed a tear when Mouse crosses the finish line.

On Any Sunday is a classic. I had it on VHS and wore the movie out and last christmas my son bought me the 30th anniversary box set which has On Any Sunday, On Any Sunday Motocross Malcolm & More and On Any Sunday Revisited and bought On Any Sunday 2 separately. I watch them all the time.

Dennis,
Your right, after watching it as a kid we went home rode our mini's like we stole them. Oh those were the good old days.


This statment will really show my age. But it is true.
