 Blast from the Past September 30, 2008
D. J. Morgan (Tokyo, Japan)
Having always heard about these flics but having never seen them I finally broke down and purchased this set. Unfortunately, the whole thing is so old, it really doesn't hold the impact it once did and people should really give it a rest who keep championing this film. It's a quaint documentary about a select group of mostly long dead bikers who roared around on creaky old bikes in the mud and want us to applaud their masculine efforts. I don't know, I'm a biker, but it bored me. Love Steve McQueen but he's barely in it despite being the producer. They need to make a new one of these. Best just rent it.

We were working on the assumption that this was a movie about dirt biking. It is not. It is a documentary. Had I known that, I would've purchased only the single DVD of On Any Sunday - not the more pricey anniversary collection. If you understand that it's more documentary than movie and still want it, you probably won't be disappointed. If you go into it the other way around, you probably will be.

It was a birthday gift for my dad. He really liked it, so it was definitely worth it!

I wanted to see On Any Sunday again but it wasn't available to rent anywhere. I'd say it's worth buying 1 of what I want rather than renting 2 time-passers. I might have skipped the 'revisited' and 'more' if I had known they were unused footage mixed with reunion interviews. I wanted a post-2K update on motorcycles and such but seeing the riders 'old' was interesting so I can't call it a total disappointment.
 Flawed, but very watchable April 9, 2004

This is a difficult set of father/son directed films to rate. On Any Sunday gets 5 stars; the all time classic, perhaps best motorcycle film ever although I would consider The Road Racers a contender. The seriousness of the sport is not ignored, but Bruce Brown's sense of humor always shines through. And the music is so perfect that I sometimes hear it in my head while riding my motorcycles. OAS is only 1 year younger than me, yet it does not feel particularly dated; it really is timeless. While I enjoyed the other films, and in particular the present day interviews with the OAS riders in OAS Revisited, they really pale in comparison to the original. Like an earlier reviewer, I feel Dana Brown got a free pass from his dad to make the sequels. They lack the humor, pacing, and with the exceptions of the old deleted scenes, cinematography of the original. I love the original so much that I like the sequals more than I should. Still, it is worth the price of admission just to see Malcolm Smith and Mert Lawill 30 years later, and hear them tell their own stories in their own words. If only Dana Brown had the talent of his father, this would be an absolutely brilliant set. As is, I am still glad to have bought the set and passed on my original On Any Sunday DVD to a seriously ill old flat track rider, who I hope gets some joy from it.
