Synopsis

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.

Great Motorcycle movie

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.

"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."
