The groovy graphics on the posters and the epic soundtrack are indelibly etched into the memories of an entire generation of motorcycle riders. Seems like yesterday rather than 50 years ago for most of us. Now the acclaimed 1971 Oscar-nominated documentary motorcycle film is set to return to theaters nationwide this fall. An enhanced picture/digitally remastered audio version is being released by Bruce Brown Films to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the iconic motion picture.
But the best news of all is that Dealers can host screenings in their local theaters and be a part of all the action this time, rather than hiding in the restroom and sneaking in for a second showing (you know who you are). “I was inspired as a 9-year-old kid to ride motorcycles, BMX bikes, and just about anything else that had wheels when On Any Sunday first came out in 1971,” says Todd Huffman, Pipeline Digital Media Producer/Director. “Here we are now, 50 years later and we’re releasing the film again to be enjoyed by new generations on the big screen for the first time.”
Gathr Films will start offering screenings to local “On Any Sunday Movie Captains” beginning July 1st with first screenings starting toward the end of September into early October, 2021. A Hollywood “re-premiere” is in the works as well. Home DVD/blu-ray and streaming from Bayview Entertainment will begin at the end of November 2021 prior to Black Friday for the holidays.
