Amazon.co.uk Review:
A movie that exudes affection and goodwill, The World's Fastest Indian is an unabashed mash note to a lovely character from New Zealand's recent past. Burt Munro, played by Anthony Hopkins, is a cantankerous Kiwi with an obsession: he's been tinkering with his 1920s-era Indian brand motorcycle for years, pushing it to ever-faster speeds. It's the 1960s, and Burt has the utterly mad idea of taking the bike to the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah, site of world records for speed racing. The movie takes a while to get to the journey--and then the journey takes a while--but the genial atmosphere prevails. (People of a certain age, for whom the word "Bonneville" evokes pleasant associations with hotrods and world-speed records, will not be disappointed in the film's location shooting, or its sense of awe.) Hopkins is not quite on-the-money casting for the jovial, happy-go-lucky Munro, and his accent wavers, but he nails the emotional scenes and the fascination with speed. Smaller bits are well-filled by Diane Ladd and Christopher Lawford (son of Peter), who looks uncannily of the era. New Zealand director Roger Donaldson doesn't take any chances here, but the story clearly means something to him, and that sense of commitment carries the film through its sleepier moments. --Robert Horton

- Heart warming Hopkins
The true story of Burt Monro, a man who travels to America from New Zealand to attempt to break the fastest speed record on his 1920's Indian motorcycle.
What can you say about Anthony Hopkins? The man is simply indescribable. If you have ever seen Silence of the Lambs, you wouldn't believe it was the same actor starring as Burt Monro in this 2005 picture. Hopkins captures the essence of a man who changed the speeding of all motorcycles in the 60's. Hopkins swift and charming elegance ... Read More
Rating: - Best movie I've seen in ages - a must see!!
I bought this DVD as a small gift for my husband who loves watching motor bike races on TV. He is not a movie buff &, reluctantly, popped it into the requisite slot. After a somewhat slow start we both found the film riveting, funny yet realistic. This is the true story of Burt Munro, a New Zealander, who was determined, against all odds, to fulfill his dream of setting the world land speed record on an old banger of an Indian bike which he took across to the States (he had to work his passage!!) ...

Rating: - wonderful
I saw this film last night having picked up the dvd from a local supermarket for £3. I only got it as I thought anything with a recent Anthony Hopkins performance has got to be worth £3. As it happens I would have paid £30 for it. Beautifully written and shot, great story, great acting, Hopkins is a legend on the strength of this alone. My wife loved it too.
It's not about motorbikes or speed it's about dedication and commitment and honesty. Charming, endearing, funny, emotional, uplifting. ... Read More
Rating: - BUY IT OR RENT IT - A MUST WATCH FILM I DEFY YOU NOT TO LOVE
Whatever your taste in films, you'll love this one. I was so disinclined to watch this when our local video shop owner (and rarely off the mark guru who recommends new titles to us) suggested we'd like it, but my husband convined me to give it a go - you know the old bikes and boys thing. I objected on "green" ethics, as well as not being even slightly interested in land speed records. But even I didn't just keep thinking "what a waste of fossil fuels", which I was convinced I would, and didn't experience ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent film
I too saw this film at The Rex in Berkhamsted, with my bike loving husband and my son who was 8 or 9 at the time (who I thought would struggle to sit still). We all loved it. None of us knew anything about the film as there was very little by way of promotion. It was only screened at one cinema in Oxford (local to us) and we missed the opportunity, then I saw it was on at The Rex - the perfect venue for a film such as this.
It is a truly excellent film and a flawless performance by Hopkins. To reach ... Read More
