Never, that’s what Burt Munro has to say to us.Wow! This is a spacious flick and Anthony Hopkins is at his subtle best!Procedure more than 5 stars.The synopsis:Burt Munro, a Kiwi from far south Unique Zealand has been building and rebuilding his motorcycle for the last 40 years, dreaming of the day when he and the bike can go to Bonneville Salt Flats,USA and eye what they can really do. When Burt’s heart goes abominable on him, his dreaming is threatened to near to an waste. Burt is not ready to halt dreaming. He decides to mortgage his house and bring his dream to life. He and the motorcycle head for American and the Bonneville Salt Flats,Utah to participate in ‘Speed Week’. When they land in in the US the fun begins. His amble from Long Beach to Utah brings him through a harmful fraction of American ‘characters’. Each recognizes in Burt, that burning desire to conclude a dream and each helps him in the method that they can to obtain that dream happen. There are so many laughable and elegant moments but one that reach to mind is when Burt meets Tina, the transvestite motel clerk…that whole interaction is so glowing. Or when Burt finally stands on Bonneville Salt Flats, by himself thinking of all the greatness that has transpired here and now he, Burt Munro, can at last test himself on this ’sacred ground’. Man! it brings shivers to glimpse Anthony Hopkins do that moment.While the film is about motorcycles and expeditiously cars, it is not a movie about motorheads. It is a chronicle we can all gather something out of- even your Grandma will care for it. Don’t gain back-go peek it now. A Cultural Sidebar:I happen to have been in Original Zealand when this film started it’s world release in it’s home country..Oct. 2005. The Kiwis, normally a reserved and sober lot, were crazy on this movie. For a week that is all the entertainment news there was, ruin to ruin on both islands. Munro’s actually Indian Scout motorcycle made the rounds of movie houses, sort of a hero’s artifact for theater goers inspection. In general, the Kiwis felt that Hopkins and Donaldson had really nailed the Kiwi national ‘character’, straight talking but not offensive, a master of ‘#8 wire’ ingenuity, reserved but positive. All this allowed Munro to execute his bike to it’s peak,find it to America, and rise above the better financed competition. Hopkins was given accolades for nailing a South Island,Recent Zealand accent.People that had known Munro claimed Hopkins had portrayed Munro as they knew him. As an American I like they draw Donaldson portrayed Americans.I found the movie to be a classic American dream epic. Go survey the movie, you won’t be sorry.
Burt Munro was a man who had many loves: women, hasten, things mechanical, tinkering, life itself and perhaps most passionately and enduringly his faded Indian motorcycle. This film lovingly chronicles Burt’s pursuit of the seemingly impossible dream inspired by his Indian, and the astounding quest which took him from the village of Invercargill, Unusual Zealand to the Bonneville Salt Flats of Utah.

Director Donaldson tells Burt’s feel favorable account in a straightforward and unemotional manner, with many of the scenes being filmed on place in Invercargill and at Bonneville. Anthony Hopkins is so perfectly cast that he seems to become Burt. His interviews while promoting the film made it positive how worthy he enjoyed the role and respected Burt’s achievements; the Kiwis who knew Burt were very ecstatic with his faithful portrayal in his film. The supporting cast also does an reliable job, although in all probability the only other individuals recognizable to most moviegoers will be Diane Ladd as Ada and Bruce Greenwood as Jerry, who helps Burt overcome the resistance he encounters when he arrives at Bonneville with a vehicle which breaks all the safety rules. In addition, deserving special mention in a brief appearance as Tina is Chris Williams.
The director very intelligently decided to provide several amusing moments and a lot of casual humor to maintain the approximately two hour long movie sharp at a reasonable hump. The natural tension inherent in several obstacles Burt had to overcome (e.g. his lack of financial resources, the aforementioned mentioned problems before being allowed to rush his vehicle, a heart condition which landed him in the hospital) are wisely handled in a summary way; after all, everyone in the audience already knows the reason why the film was made is because despite his microscopic resources and working entirely on his gain Burt was successful in converting his motorcycle which was originally not built to exceed 54 MPH into THE WORLD’S FASTEST INDIAN.

My five star rating for this film is not based on the fact that I judge it is a immense movie; in fact, it left several unanswered questions to which I hope that further research will provide some answers. And I certainly wish it had managed to incorporate more of the wonderfully scenic Fresh Zealand countryside where Burt lived. Rather, my rating is based on the racy manner in which this film tells Burt’s tale; he captivated me objective as he eventually managed to captivate almost everyone with whom he came in contact, even those individuals who didn’t section his thought in himself or perhaps considered him a cramped crazy. In summary, I highly recommend this yarn of perseverance and achievement for everyone willing to use a few hours with Burt as he pursues his dream to its satisfying and highly emotional conclusion. (The director’s genius was in recognizing that the record itself would provoke most moviegoers into cheering wildly or crying tears of joy with Burt before his time in Bonneville is finished, no cinematic tricks or artificial station devices were essential.) It is truly horror attractive to realize that many of the records which Burt spot quiet survive today, and thus his machine is not only peaceful THE WORLD’S FASTEST INDIAN but remains unbeaten by all engines in its category.
