On Any Sunday

[Ron W.]

  Just got my CD of On Any Sunday, haven't seen the show for years. I suggest for those of you that haven't seen it you should it's a great show about motorcycle racing and will bring back memories of how motorcycling used to be. Good family entertainment.

+1   Watched it last summer, brought back many memories of my dirt riding youth.  I was 11 when it came out in theaters and was blown away.  Some great riding.

Dennis, did the DVD come with the newer narrated version? I saw that a few years ago, it was very cool!!

This is one of my favorite movies.  I didn't know there was a "newer narrated version".  I've only seen the version that has narration.  Was the original music track only?

It's a free download if you have a Netflix account. Just watched it last month. Love the hill climb segment.

  watched it a month or so ago after 20yr's, on net flix........it's still a great motorcycle movie......remember seeing it in the theater in about 1970...71???

It is narrated originally by Bruce Brown.  I watched it on Netflix also.  Bruce produced other cult films in SoCal, like Endless Summer, THE surfing cult flick of all time.

Since I grew up in SoCal for most of my youth until I was 14, those films were what we went to see.  Surfing, skateboarding and dirt bikes were our lifestyle back then.  Hung out in Newport Beach surfing and skating (and ogling bikini chicks).  Rode the dirt in the bluffs of west Costa Mesa and Newport Beach.

I'd have given my left 'nad for the chance to ride with McQueen and Malcolm Smith.

One of my all time favorites. Between that movie, Then Came Bronson and my Dad, it was all the catylist this youngster needed to become hopelessly addicted to motorcycles.

I'll never have as much fun again then I did back in the time...tossing the school books on the kitchen table, running out to hop on the dirt bike, and dashing off (hoping to get chased by the cops before the day is done) wearing my stars and stripes helmet.  (Yeah, Peter inspired that.)  Hey, I recall a movie back then called...something like...CC and Company?  My memory is failing me but didn't it star Joe Namath?

Malcolm Smith, Roger DeCoster, Brad Lackey...

[seattledyna]

great movies fer sure! they just dont make them like that anymore

we used to practice running a line thru the corners like McQueen did in those helicopter shots, he was amazing

LOL... that movie was terrible.  Check out this clip... Joe Namath goes to kickstart his genny shovel and you can hear the starter motor turn it over... then the kicker keeps hangin' down.  Totally faked.   

Ann-Margret is a hottie though.

One of my favorite movies of all time. You know that the little kid doing the endless wheelie on the Honda Mini Trail is Jeff Ward. Past Supercross champion, rode for Kawasaki.

[Baggerlady]

My brother rode trials back then, so I got to see the greats of the time: Bernie Schriber, Marlin Whaley, and George Smith III. So Cal was a great place to grow up back then! I  need to see the movie again too.

I brought a YZ80 for my son when he was 6 years old but it sat in the shed for a couple months with him showing no interest. I had a brain storm one night and grabbed a video of on any Sunday to fire him up a bit and get him riding his dirt bike. Ha Ha It didn't work on him but I ended up with a 1974 and 1979 husky, 1980 TT500, 1981 KTM 495, 1979 KTM 250 , 1996 KTM 620.  2001 VOR 610. Great movie that brought back my MX bug . Now my shed is full of old MX bikes that my now 18 year son loves riding. Be careful guys and gals that movie can get expensive if the old MX bug bites again.

[seattledyna]

best part of the Joe Namath movie was when he went thru the grocery store making a sandwhich as he went up and down the isles, we always wanted to try that, lol

Ann Margret was in her prime for sure!!
