More than 1000 people turned out for the On Any Sunday movie reunion in Newport Beach, California, 2005.
Over 1100 people attended the gala event—which took on the appearance of a movie premiere rather than a reunion of some 35-year-old motorcycle flick—including perhaps the greatest assemblage of cast and film crew members since the real premiere took place in 1971. The crowd, who paid $35 a seat—some stragglers paid even more for the precious few empties and SRO viewing—was a who’s who of motorcycle legends, current stars, industry moguls, journalists and the hardest of hard-core motorcycle fans. The event had deep meaning for all who attended, not the least of whom were the main protagonists in On Any Sunday, such as 1969 AMA Grand National Champion Mert Lawwill and motorcycle off-road legend Malcolm Smith.
