Sky plus-ed it a few days ago and decided to watch it last night. What a great film, really heartwarming and not a sad moment in it. Will now rate as one of the best feel good films I've ever seen. Totally harmless, brilliant performance from Anthony Hopkins and it's about a fast bike! wink

I bet it wasn't... The one I had in town a couple of weeks ago must have broken the sound barrier on the way out

Back on topic.

I missed this film first few times round, but its probably one of the few films on over christmas that I sat down and enjoyed.

I too thought it was brilliant thumbup ...and I'll be watching it again no doubt.

Have a look on You Tube and search for "Bert Munro fastest Indian" and you'll find someones out three or four chunks of a documentary, made back in 1971 about Bert. Anthony Hopkins must have watched this, because - and fair play to him - there are several lines in the film which mimick the documentary.

Link to You Tube page: Offerings to the God of Speed

Great bloke and IMHO a superb film. What a nutter!
