According to Malcolm, Steve was always very competitive and worked very hard at leading whenever we rode together, but he crashed a lot during those three days of filming the play riding. “At the end of the third day we all jumped into Bruce’s hot tub,” Malcolm says. “Steve was a mess; what wasn’t black and blue was skinned up, or both! Still, Steve was a very competent rider and loved motorcycles.
“You expect movie stars to be magnets,” Malcolm says, “but Steve was in another league. People – women especially – noticed him everywhere he went, but he was usually quite good about the attention and autograph seeking unless they were rude or inconsiderate. He also had a helluva sense of humor. I remember riding with him to Mexico in his hopped-up Ford pickup to do the sand dune filming at the end of the movie. At a border toll booth he just blasted through, knowing that Bruce – who was right behind us – would pay for both of us. He was a very funny guy at times.”
After the guys wrapped shooting, Bruce began the narration and editing process. It took him about nine months to finish editing On Any Sunday, working twelve hours a day, six days a week, all with help from cameramen Don Shoemaker. Even at that point, Malcolm figured he'd have only a small part in the movie.
