Faster and Dust 2 Glory both owe inspiration to this seminal motorsport documentary. On Any Sunday covers two-wheeled racing in the United States (mostly offroad and dirt track) in 1971, following the title defense effort of Mert Lawwill in AMA Dirt Track.
The first thing that steps out at you is the 70's music. The whole soundtrack is so 70's its straight up comical. But get past that and you'll see a light-hearted, lovingly-made film documentary that captures the passion and the fun of racing motorcycles. It manages to do so with quite a bit of humor too.
The director, Bruce Brown is the father of Dana Brown, who directed Dust 2 Glory. The influence is readily apparent.
I'd have to say the best thing about On Any Sunday is that it captures the soul of motorcycle racing. It touches on the extreme lengths the riders will go through to win and the enthusiasm of even the slowest of the amatuer riders. Good stuff.
