On Any Sunday - Reviewed

Bruce Brown directs what is the endless summer of motorcycle movies, "On Any Sunday." Men on Motorcycle racing (and I mean seriously racing) on dirt, asphalt, salt and even ice. Back in the 70's, America liked its porn funky and its motorcycle racers made of steel. At least 4 times during this movie they mention the racer taking of some cast holding whatever broken part of their body off in order to race at 120 plus miles on a dirt course. Don't worry I didn't give anything way - this is only the subplot of the movie "like Homer trying to find Lincoln's Gold."

Brown follows a few racers through their journey to being #1 on the AMA riding tour. Cutting back and forth between the average rider and the professional he paints a picture of the ridiculous things people do in the name of motorcycling. The Hill Climbing segment makes the most sense in the context of the movie - a bunch of hillbillies trying to ride a motorcycle up and over a hill that no body has ever been able to get over. Finally, one biker makes it over after 7 years of people trying for the sole purpose of motorcycling.

Like Endless Summer, Brown leaves it open - with the declaration that riding makes no sense but in the same way perfect sense because people do it because they love it. Its a Love Story between Man and Bike - instead of Boy and Girl. Like Shakespear - Brown's love story does nothing but document the crazy acts of people in love. Obvious out comes do not deter you from watching - more importantly it brings you closer to anybody who have ever been in love with a motorcycle.
