Worlds Fastest Indian

Guy's,
If you get a chance to see this movie do it!. A true story Set in the early 60's in New Zealand, about a bloke called Burt Munroe with a 1920 Indian Scout which he highly modified himself. The story is about how he gets the bike to the US, in particular the Bonneville salt flats to set a land speed record.
Burt is played by Anthony Hopkins (Hanibal, silence of the lambs)
Good movie, two thumbs up.

Thanks for the head's-up, ozbon. I'll keep an eye out for it. Sounds like a great story, and Anthony Hopkins is always a good bet.

I've heard some good things about the film, Ozbon. Sadly, it's a safe bet it won't be getting any screen time around these parts, so I'll have to wait for the DVD .
