On any Sunday

[Iain Cameron]

Just spent the arvo watching On any Sunday , Still the greatest movie ever made .

[jerry]

Agreed. Never get tired of the "mile" footage. Another good show is "Britown" by the Hell on Wheels mob, check it out. Talk about living the dream! J

For some reason I have never seen it   

So to correct this grevious oversight, I just bought one on the epay and hopefully it will be here before the weekend as I'm home alone and can sit down and watch it uninterupted 

[jerry]

I'm assuming your talking about "On any Sunday" Bishboy. Chances are you will never get the soundtrack out of your head. Enjoy. J

Next time we're about to get into a knock-down, drag-out fight on this forum, maybe we should watch part of this movie to remind us what old dirt bikes are all about! 

That reminds me, I haven't watched either 1 or 2 for ages. Might have to do that soon......

Spot on Tony. I've never seen 2. Any good? J

I got my love of American style flat trackers from watching On Any Sunday. Good idea Tony.....it certainly evokes the spirit of off road motorcycling.

It's just OK Jerry, not within a country mile of the original though. It concentrates more on Speedway (Bruce Penhall) and road racing but it's worth a look.

I reckon it's pretty much as good as the first, I think mainly because I saw that one before I ever saw number one and I've got great memories of sitting up half the night watching it over and over when I was young.
Anything with Malcolm Smith in it can't be bad.

If your referring to the "great escape fence jump" your both wrong, it was performed by Bud Ekins and he is American.

Yeah the old "Who jumped the fence" debate . What Bazza and I are referring to is that Tim Gibbes the Aussie born Kiwi resident racer from the fifties is thought by many to have been the person that actually did the jump. He was also working as a stunt man on the film and the pro Gibbes supporters state that the guy doing the jump doesn't look like the 6' plus heavily built Bud Ekins but is  more a rider McQueens size and build which Gibbes was. When I asked Tim Gibbes if he had done the jump at CD9 I thought he was going to job me and refused to talk about it, adding more fuel to the theory that it was him. I love a good conspiracy theory . For what it's worth I think it was Gibbes on that Triumph.
