Album Description
The title of The World's Fastest Indian refers to the classic Indian Scout motorcycle that was the prized possession of New Zealander Burt Munro. All his life, he dreamed of reaching a goal that seemed impossible and sublimely innocent: to be the fastest man on earth. The riveting Sir Anthony Hopkins stars as the famous speed king in this celebration of a singular obsession with motorcycle racing and a boundless lust for life. The film was scored by composer J. Peter Robinson. With a 61-piece orchestra in front of him, Robinson wrote a variety of cues, from a soft tender moment featuring pianist Mike Lang and violinist Bruce Dukov, to a tense action cue integrating a bit of electronic percussion to underscore a dramatic race sequence.

My new favorite movie September 22, 2008
I believe Hopkins when he says that this is his best work. The fact that this is a ture story is an incredible bonus.
Motorhead Fairytale August 13, 2008
I have owned this movie for about two years and I have watched it about twenty times. It's clear that the script was fictionalized to make a better movie experience. But it's a great story about an ornery guy who laughed at disaster. Even better than Sir Anthony Hopkins' performance is the short film the Roger Donaldson did on Burt in 1970. Here is the real guy...and source some of the great lines in the film. Americans always love stories about the underdog, and imagine a guy that traveled halfway around the world to chase his dream. I still enjoy the sounds and the scenes over and over again.
A great movie for all to enjoy June 25, 2006

What an enjoyable movie. The need for speed is what drives Burt Munro. He's in the golden age of life and he wants to fulfill the "need" on his trusty Indian Scout. Enjoy the ride with him as he travels from New Zealand to the Bonneville Salt Flats. You'll have a big grin on your face when the credits run!!

I had the honor of meeting Burt Munro in the late 60's while while crewing on Mickey Thompson's Challenger One in our attempt to capture the record for 4 wheeled naturally aspirated vehicles. When this film was released my first reaction was yep, another Hollywood film "loosely" based on fact. I could not have been more wrong in my assumption.
This film is a masterpiece. Anthony Hopkins did a fantastic job portraying Burt Munro, in fact, having known Burt, Mr. Hopkins made his portrayal so believeable that at times I saw not an actor playing a part, but Burt Munro as we all knew him.
This is a must see for anyone who likes motorcycles, and more so as a testament that regardless of age dreams are achievable.

First, being a avid motorcycle rider, I was very pleased with the movie. I also read the book "One Good Run". It is a must see movie for any motorcycle fans.
