On Any Sunday (1971)
8/10
Photography really ahead of its time. music is badly dated. script is so so.

The camera work for OAS is incredible. Its easy to overlook but there are many fantastic aerial shots from helicopters and the on board live motorcycle shots in races are mind blowing. The color and definition aren't bad for an early 70's film genre. I would down grade the music (its 70's after all) and the script is a bit tedious and just fair. Today's motorcycles and races are light years ahead of these 70's machines but that can't be helped and the film should be judged only around its 70's zeitgeist. I can see why "On Any Sunday" was such a crowd pleaser 40 years ago. A definite purchase on DVD for motorcycle buffs and a sure fire rental for the rest of us.
