The Worlds Fastest Indian
http://www.browntownjohnny.com/index.php
Sir Tony Hopkins is an icon! The Worlds Greatest Actor! He has done the most amazing work and "The Worlds Fastest Indian" is a tailor made vehicle for Sir Tony. Roger Donaldson teams up with Hopkins again (The Bounty) to tell the real story of Burt Munro, a gearheaded old coot from New Zealand who went on to break the land speed record in 1962-1967. Well in his 80's, Burt is an obsessive man with a fast 1928 Indian Motorcycle. From his garage in Kiwi Country, he treks to America to enter his bike in a yearly competition in Utah (Bonneville Salt Flats). Burt is old and dying, with a bumb ticker but he did his lifes dream.
'Rocky' meets 'October Sky', and it's a fine film with a heart. Burt is real, and Tony makes him a loveable man with the strength to live his dream. Donaldson wrote this labor of love also (he did a docu of Burt Munro) and he is a fine craftsman. The final race is pumped with great editing and real pain. A fine film and made me liek going to the movies again.
