The World's Fastest Indian Movie Review (2006) | Roger Ebert
"The World's Fastest Indian" is a movie about an old coot and his motorcycle, yes, but it is also about a kind of heroism that has gone out of style. Burt Munro is a codger in his 60s who lives in Invercargill, New Zealand, takes nitro pills for his heart condition, and has spent years tinkering with a 1920 Indian motorcycle.
The World's Fastest Indian Review - CINEMABLEND
This quiet little film was written and directed by Roger Donaldson, the same guy who brought us the likes of Cocktail and Dante's Peak. Never mind that he has also cast Paul Walker to star in his next movie about the later years of Ernest Hemingway, he receives full pardon in advance for the masterpiece he has created in The World's Fastest Indian.
Chris Williams gives an excellent
performance as "Tina"
DIANE SAWYER DRUNK....
....THE HORROR!!
