On Any Sunday is a 1971 American documentary feature about motorcycle sport, directed by Bruce Brown. It was nominated for a 1972 Academy Award for Documentary Feature.

This documentary follows the lives of motorcycle racers and racing enthusiasts. Brown tried to show the unique talents needed for the different forms of racing. For instance, the motocross riders were typically free-spirited types, while desert racers were often loners. In Grand National racing, Brown showed the differing personalities, such as the business-like approach to racing displayed by Mert Lawwill versus the carefree approach that wild young rookie David Aldana became known for.

Steve McQueen is featured in the film, along with Mert Lawwill, Malcolm Smith and many other motorcycle racers from the late 1960s and early 1970s.

From a historical perspective, the motorcycles featured in the film include Triumph, Husqvarna, Harley Davidson, Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, and other manufacturers that are still in business or gone by the wayside such as BSA, Bultaco, and Hodaka.

Synopsis

Le réalisateur Bruce Brown suit deux surfeurs, Mike Hynson et Robert August dans un voyage autour du monde. Malgré le climat agréable de leur Californie natale, les courants froids rendent les plages locales inhospitalières durant l'hiver. C'est pourquoi, aux côtés de Rodney Sumpter et de Nat Young, ils décident de voyager vers les côtes de l'Australie, de la Nouvelle-Zélande, de l'Afrique du Sud, de Tahiti et d’Hawaï, en quête de nouveaux spots de surf - et de la vague parfaite. Ils en profitent pour introduire les locaux à ce nouveau sport. De nombreux surfeurs connus apparaissent durant leurs aventures, Miki Dora, Phil Edwards et Butch Van Artsdalen.

Super Speedway vous immerge complètement dans un tout technique incroyablement détaillé avant de vous faire embarquer, via des plans semi-subjectifs particulièrement enthousiasmants, sur l'un de ces monstres de circuit que le film ne cesse de contempler et même d'implorer, dans toute sa perfection technique, affirmant peu à peu le pouvoir de conviction presque mystique qui frappe certains surhommes, adeptes pratiquants de vitesse et adorateurs des limites physiques admises. Ce film IMAX a été filmé en partie sur le circuit de Toronto, au Canada, lors des essais pour un grand prix.
