The World's Fastest Indian
 
I just saw a promo for this movie on Speed TV. It's about this dude from New Zealand in the 60s who took a 1920 Indian motorcycle to Bonneville salt flats and set some land speed records. Anthony Hopkins plays the dude in question.

Here's the sort of exciting trailer: http://www.worldsfastestindian.com.a.../wfi_1Mbps.mov

And a bit of a more sorta like, "uplifting" trailer (show this one to yer girlfriend): http://www.iconmovies.co.uk/worldsfa...r/wfi_high.mov

The action shots kind of feel to me like the director's copying off Scorsese in The Aviator but still looks kinda neat. Comes out Feb 3rd.

Oh and official site is here: http://www.worldsfastestindian.com/

Did they make a movie about that dude who stripped to his shorts and layed flat on the bike to set a world record?

Or was that a Brit bike?

Thanks Mike. I didn't know since I only see the video with no sound. Plus, I'd have no idea about Motorcycle's brands.
