The World's Fastest Indian- Speed Record scene

Anthony Hopkins as Burt, while the film presents us his efforts for conquering the speed record at Bonneville salt filed, riding his Indian motorcycle! The extracted scene is from the end of the movie, when Burt achieves his goal!

The only reason the bike didn't go faster was because it was weighed down by Burt's set of massive brass balls.

No brakes and no parachute at over 200mph in 1962 was unheard of, what a boss Burt was.

Burt's bike was under 1000cc, 950cc to be precise and his record stands even today in 2023. His bike was already 47 years old in 1967, a 1920 bike with an original top speed of 89km/h or 55mph. He made all the parts and cast them himself due to poverty. Still multi-billion dollar Kawasaki, Suzuki, BMW, Honda, KTM etc could not beat his 1967 record.

RIP Burt Munro (March 25, 1899 – January 6, 1978), aged 78
You will be remembered as a legend.

Not usually an emotionally guy but for some reason I get tear eyed many times during this movie. Truly an amazing tale that has never gotten the recognition it deserves. Love it

[danextrinsic]

The bike started wobbling and shaking not because it was losing stability but because Burts insanity was scaring it TF out 😂

[johnnytaylor]

This movie always brings a tear to my eye. The crazy old fella who no one believed. Love it

[jumboneil]

A movie that shows the best of human nature….kind, helpful individuals, people living their dreams, acceptance of the differences in all of us, all wrapped up in a movie about a guy who liked making motorbikes go fast….

Sir Anthony Hopkins always brings a huge amount of Dignitary to the Rolls He Portrays.

This makes me cry every time, I remember roasting some calf myself, nothing mattered but tucking up and getting as tight in as possible to get the air resistance down for my runs.. and to think burt did it crushed in like a sardine at his age on a bike he modified with bits and bobs and fence hinges... 🍸👌 a fucking true tuner and racer in his heart and soul

I have watched this movie way too many times to still get giddy at this scene. My favorite movie still.

Such a legend. Took on the doubters, put everything he had into his dream, and made it a reality, all the while keeping true to his guns with integrity. If there's any reason to feel emotional, that's it. His determination, passion and the spirit of his whole endeavour. Country doesn't matter.

Love ya gramps, you old daredevil. Miss watching this with you every summer.

[vickil]

Come back every so often to watch this again. I love this movie almost as most as I love Anthony Hopkins.❤❤

[paulbfields]

Einer der coolsten Filme, die ich in meiner Sammlung habe. Hat mir damals ein Kumpel empfohlen, als wir noch im Motorenbau für Tourenwagen und Formel_1 tätig waren. Diesen Film sollte jeder Motorenbauer gesehen haben. Einfach nur lässig. Antony Hopkins hat die Rolle genial gespielt. Und dann beruht das noch auf einer wahren Begebenheit, besser geht´s nicht.. *_🏍💨_*
