P @RT39921291 Nov 5 Wasn’t that fast. End of review See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 07/25/2025 The World’s Fastest Indian is a unique and heartfelt film starring Anthony Hopkins, who delivers a surprisingly charming performance as Burt Munro, an eccentric New Zealand man determined to set a land-speed record on his heavily modified 1920s Indian motorcycle. It’s interesting to see Hopkins—known for his intense and often chilling roles—portraying such a warm, quirky character at an older age. What makes this film stand out is the way it follows Burt’s relentless pursuit of his dream, despite his age, health problems, and the skepticism of those around him. The director takes us through Burt’s day-to-day life, where his odd habits—like urinating on his lemon tree or accidentally burning his grass—add humor and a touch of realism to his character. There’s also a genuine charm in his friendship with his young neighbor, which adds depth to the story and shows how Burt’s eccentricity inspires others. The film shifts gears when Burt leaves New Zealand for the United States to chase his dream. This part of the journey introduces both heartwarming and frustrating moments, including his decision to cheat on his girlfriend—a subplot that felt unnecessary and detracted from the story’s focus on perseverance and passion. Despite these missteps, the film is a moving portrayal of determination against all odds. It’s not just about speed or racing; it’s about chasing your dreams no matter how late in life it may seem. Hopkins brings warmth and humanity to Burt, making you root for him every step of the way. While it’s a well-made and emotionally engaging film, it’s not particularly rewatchable. It’s the kind of movie you enjoy once, appreciate its heart, and then move on. Still, it’s worth seeing at least once for Hopkins’ performance and the inspiring true story.

The ending is worth the journey of this sweet road trip, and the message in the end credits left a lump in my throat. Wow! One of Anthony Hopkins best and most underrated films! I first heard about this film from presenter Johnathan Ross during his Film reviews on tv. (Along with Big Lebowski) See more Read all reviews
