Saltzman Sees...The World's Fastest Indian (2005)
The World's Fastest Indian
is the the life story of New Zealander Burt Munro, who spent years
building a
1920 Indian motorcycle -- a bike which helped him set the land-speed
world record at Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats in 1967. Munro, played
brilliantly by Sir Anthony Hopkins, has one goal in life and one goal
only: Go Fast. It is one of the best films I have ever seen at
capturing a man's unwavering pursuit of his dream.
Despite
Anthony Hopkins headlining the movie, it only made $18 million
worldwide. It won several awards, but only in Australia and New
Zealand.
It is certainly a movie that will leave you
impressed with Anthony Hopkins even more and more importantly glad you
know the story of Bob Munro. It is my choice for Most Underrated Movie of 2005
