50 years later, Bruce Brown’s moto film still thrills.
For motorcyclists, one of the most noteworthy cultural milestones of 2021 is the 50th anniversary of On Any Sunday. Bruce Brown’s 16mm homage to motorcycling is arguably the most important motorcycle movie ever made, and it’s certainly the most awesome. (Take that, Wild Hogs!)
When a 32-year-old Brown turned his lens from surfing to motorcycling in 1970, little did he know how much of an impact his movie would make on the world of motorcycling and American culture as a whole. The 96-minute feature film is centered around riding buddies Malcolm Smith, Mert Lawwill, and a certain A-list actor by the name of Steve McQueen.
