The World’s Fastest Indian
Tuesday, April 11th, 2006
The World’s Fastest Indian is based on a true story about a land-speed record. This movie is based on the motorcycle land-speed world record holder Burt Munro who is played by Anthony Hopkins. Burt is a New Zealand man that travels to the United States to prove his 1921 Indian motorcycle is the fastest in the world. He spends about forty years modifying his motorcycle for best performance. He is finally able to save enough money to visit the United States to prove the speed of his motorcycle. As he travels to Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats, he proves that he is still a ladies man in his old age. He eventually makes his way to the flats to find trouble regarding his entry into Speed Week.
This is a cute movie that most of the family can watch together. It is PG-13 for some different references. I think this is a good movie for anyone to see. It has many funny parts and is interesting. Burt Munro led and exciting life that is very entertaining.
