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.

Sincere, and good hearted

I watched this with my teenager on DVD--he just got a KLR 650. I don't care for motorcycles, but what's great about this movie is that it makes you grasp just why other people do; the thrill of it, the risk and challenge are vividly portrayed. If you're the sort who enjoys understanding how the "other guy" ticks and are curious about all kinds of things, you'll like this. It was also fun as a peek back at the era in which I grew up. The passionate, dedicated amateur was very much in the American tradition--this film made me realize how much we've lost with with the corporate takeover of sports.
