Just Watched The Worlds Fastest Indian.....

[Jamie S]

Got to say , one of the best films I have ever watched.

Recommended.

( For any one who does not know what the films about)

The World's Fastest Indian, is a film based on the legendary speed bike racer from New Zealand named Burt Munro. Munro set numerous land speed records for motorcycles with engines less than 1000cc
burt is a 67-year-old New Zealander who is obsessed with speed. Being a loner who lives in a bike shed, he spends every moment of his day modifying his beloved Indian motorcycle.

(based on a true story.)

Certainly a good film.

Star Wars is still the best though

Yep i enjoyed it, I want a blown piston ashtray

Got me cheering when he finally gets it started on the beach against that biker gang and buzzes them all

[UnknownStuntm...]

Ya, the best bits are when he starts describing his bike. "Motorsikkle" and such... Ace...

[Akira]

[Kris]

Be careful watching this film,

MJ from the KR and RGV250.co.uk Forum watched this film and ended up buying a bike shiping it over to the states and setting a new world record

Read the story here!!

and the best bit (apart from burt being a kiwi) is that the record still stands today
a 1920's bike setting the record in the 60's and still standing
brilliant

Aye, a fantastic film. I didnt know much about him (the actual guy or what he did) before i watched it, and figured cos its based on a true story, it might not have the "happy ending"

SPOILER

so when it got to the part where he was told he couldnt race it after going so far, I was absolutely crestfallen! Devastated! Then he owns it off, and i almost welled up


Fantasmic film, also recommended

Wasn't that impressed, to the degree I skipped through most of it.

[fredsredhat]

one of the best films ive ever seen. You just get on his side and will him to do well.

[hellkat]

Its my favourite bike film.
The only thing wrong with this film is that it makes me feel homesick as hell, and nostalgic for the 60s

I'm sure someone would buy you a lemon tree to piss on if you asked them nicely.
