Every so often a little movie comes by that makes my day. The world's fastest Indian is definetly one of these movie. Heck, it made me so happy that I even forgot to put my "massage assistant" on at night.
It follows the story of Burt (Anthony Hopkins), who's an old reformed guy that has this obsession with breaking the speed record on his 1920's bike, a modified Indian.
So he travels from New Zealand all the way to Bonneville, USA, in order to make his dreams come through. During that trip he meets all sorts of colourful characters: a transexual that helps him find his way when he arrives, a Native American that gives him dog's testicles for his prostate problems, a lonely blonde old lady that beds him in exchange for breakfast, an air force pilot that is on leave from Vietnam (this story takes place during the 60's) and whose mission in 'Nam is to drop agent orange on it's forests, etc etc... From time to time he does something very similar to a madiba jive and has heart attacks for fun.
So essentially this is a road movie with some heart into it, although it follows the same old formula of finding the importance of your dreams while breaking the world speed record on two wheels.
6/10 lics coz Anthony Hopkins is the world's oldest player...
