08/01/2016 This beautifully captured the spirit and tone of the original, adding the shots enabled by modern tech. And showing diversity of moto world of today, just like the first. Great "next chapter." Perfect balance of old and new. Critics who panned clearly don't know first film, bikes, or sport docs.

Dana Brown does his Dad proud with this one, and while it is not the seminal work that the original was, still one of the best films of any kind of all time, it is much better than I had imagined it to be. It retains the vibe of the original, and though perhaps it does not spend enough time on the enduro scene that I love so much, it nevertheless gives a fair perspective on the current state of motorcycling, including the never ending attacks on the sport from state governments in the West. Now when do I get that electric dirt bike that I can silently ride near town? See more 11/10/2014 Fantastic. If you are a motorcyclist, ride to the theater right now. Great stuff. See more 11/09/2014 "On Any Sunday: The Next Chapter" is a sequel to the 1971 movie about the art of motocross and professional motorcycle racing. Having never seen the original, I have no valid standard of comparison, so I will judge the sequel in its own right. About halfway through this documentary, it becomes abundantly obvious that there is a heavy-handed message embedded in the dialogue glorifying motorcycle use and its many social benefits. Kids are used as exploitative devices to further said heavy-handed message. While the cinematography in this film is pretty good and the movie has both informative and entertaining parts, the movie devolves into propaganda about riding motorcycles and minimizes any arguments to the contrary and any associated physical risks to riding. For example, if the movie shows a professional motocross driver who broke his back in a wipeout and became a paraplegic, it counters by asserting that he was just "doing what he loved." I did not detect the bias in this film until halfway through. While the film does present an educational survey of the sport of motocross, its execution is also laden with extreme bias ----------------------------------------------- C+ See more 11/08/2014 So fun to see the new version...same feeling amazing camera work!
