I with all of you guys.... hell I wish it was on sale in some stores here cause I've had a time finding it..... next paycheck i'm gonna troll amazon or ebay to find a copy because my vhs player broke on me
In 2006, I was at a video rental store and there was a bargain bin with movies on disc for sale, 3 for $10. I picked up 2 movies and then saw Anthony Hopkins, "Worlds Fastest indian" Hmmm, might be OK. I was BLOWN AWAY by the movie. To this day, I jump up and down like a kid in the scenes where Burt is racing. INSPIRATIONAL.
"The World's Fastest Indian" easily fits into my list of top ten films ever. That said, there may be more than ten films in that list. Point is, if you haven't seen it, you are in for a treat.
20 people didn't like this interview. 20 people with no class. A true fine gentleman and a master of his craft. World's fastest Indian was one of the best movies I ever watched. Thank you Tony for some of the magical movie moments
Worlds Fastest Indian is an awesome movie. A good solid honest story. No sex, violence, drugs, bad language or unnecessary waffle. A fine tale of hard work, dreams amd achievement. Highly recommended.
In 1980 I was a student intern on the camera crew for his movie “A Change of Seasons”. It was so cold on location in Vermont that the other crew and I jumped into a prop Rolls-Royce on the set - Hopkins walked by and looked freezing so I popped the door and he sat and warmed up with us for ten minutes - certainly one of the most modest and friendly people I’ve met.
@@BigDaddy-vr2ut apparently he is: when he made the worlds fastest Indian he arrived in Invercargill and asked who they were expecting with the red carpet- as it must be someone important! when told "you Sir Anthony"! he said, "none of that rubbish or I am going home! the names Tony"!!
A brilliant movie, I recently toured the South Island and saw Burt’s bike and sat in the replica made for the movie in the E Hayes Hardware store in Invercargill. What an amazing store with its memorabilia and not just to Burt Munro.
I love watching this movie it’s one of my favourites Anthony Hopkins is a great actor he brings so much pleasure and passion to us armchair critics 👍👍👍
Kiwi classic. So good a Taffy played Burt. Huge love and respect between NZ and Cymru. Rugby has a great deal to do with it. Hopkins loved his time here. Kia ora Sir Tony
Love Anthony Hopkins since seeing him in a tioga (as a Roman) ! Knew one day he would be as great a British actor as Richard Burton. So happy for his greater success - Agree with someone here on UT that he is the Greatest Actor today! Regards & best wishes for Happy Holidays & New Year to all !
Just watched it AGAIN for the umpteenth time last night! I really hold with 'you better get busy living or get busy dying' and this man did his fair share! Great movie, great story.
A few years after this movie came out, I spend a week at the Bonneville Salt Flats Speed Week. It was amazing how many racers were there on old Indians trying to duplicate Burt Munro's adventure.
Tony Hopkins is by far the greatest actor in the galaxy. He starred in my two favorite movies. Worlds fastest Indian, as well the elephant man. Tony you are the best. thank you for being such a master of your craft.
I loved that film. I am a NZer and wish I had known when that film was being made. I would have loved to have gone down and watched Tony. I wonder if he went to Stewart Island. Only a 20 min.plane ride and so beautiful. .
just love this interview from jay. you can tell he has such respect for sir anthony (i'm an aussie and don't go for titles for titles sake but in this case the character and work of the man give to his title what it truely represents ;well earned and deserved so i find it an honour to address anthony as sir anthony ).and because of that he ditches the fluff and gives him more of himself .and what do we say about sir anthony . how fortunate are we to experience such a gifted actor and a good man .we need our heroes to look up to and inspire us to do better .
the fastest indian was a great movie, if only because my grandfather worked as a tinker at indian in springfield mass, he developed and patented the drive chain tensioner used on most bikes today, if you ever go to the indian museum in springfield look for the plaque on the wall with the name edward m. bryan on it
@@trueaussie9230 no. My grandfather working as a tinker inventing the chain tensioner made it possible otherwise the chain would just keep falling off like they did before he invented it and if you ride today his design is probably on the bike you ride
@@richardmcginnis5344 So, you admit your grandfather had nothing to do with the production and / or success of the movie. You need to learn to express yourself more clearly. What you possibly meant is, if not for your grandfather Burt's bike (possibly) would not have been able to achieve those speeds, hence there would be no story to make a movie about. BTW - not to detract from his achievement, but if your grandfather hadn't solved the problem, someone else would have. Very possibly Burt himself. That's just the way of progress. JOOI - in what year did your grandfather invent / patent the tensioner?!
@@trueaussie9230 again no. my grandfather invented the drive chain tensioner because indians had a problem with the chain falling off and i'm not talking about the movie in particular asshat i'm talking about his contribution to motorcycles in general, but as i said before his chain tensioner was one of the reasons and still is one of the reasons bikes go. so smart ass what has your grandfather contributed to better the human race? i can do this if you really want to be made a fool of
@@richardmcginnis5344 Well, aren't you a delightful little girl?! "The fastest indian was a GREAT MOVIE, if only because my grandfather (invented a drive chain tensioner)". By any logical reading that statement DIRECTLY attributes the success of the MOVIE to your granfather's invention. I've politely asked you the date of your grandfather's invention.

Whilst I fail to see the relevance, one of my grandfathers dedicated himself and his business to feeding, clothing and housing the 'underprivileged' during the Great Depression (a world-wide catastrophe caused by your nation) and my other grandfather pioneered radical improvements to dairy farming, going on to become a lecturer on the subject in one of Australia's prominent universities. How do you reckon that compares to stopping a drive chain falling off a motor bike?! How much do you reckon a 'motorcycle drive chain tensioner' "betters the human race"?! Are you 13 years old?! Or not yet? JOOI - what the hell is a 'donkey-hat'?! Really, work on your communication skills, kid.
Love Anthony Hopkins.... One of my favorite movies: "Fracture" with him and Ryan Gosling. Just watched it for the 3rd time on Amazon Prime (rented it for $2.99)... GREAT movie.
Watched this movie when it first came out in a little movie house in San Luis Obispo , Calif the room was full of bikers in leather I have never felt more at home anywhere in all my life.....Do see it if you have not....
Harvey Mushman I saw it in the back of the bike shop and thought , finally a movie for guys like us. RIP Burt Munro Love from ALL the Brothers in Jesus Holy name amen
Feel good movies never seem to do as well as violence and misery movies, I loved this movie and my children bought me a copy, so really well acted by Tony Hopkins, this speed record still stands to this day!
I think World's Fastest Indian (2005) is Hopkins' best performance between Titus (1999) and The Two Popes (2019). He should have gotten an Oscar nomination for it, and the film deserves more recognition. He did some other good films during this time like Fracture, Red Dragon, Hitchcock, The Dresser, and King Lear, but this was a cut above those.
Wow! Blown away by all the praise, that I thought was just me! I got my first, real road bike just last year, so with all of my passion for motorcycles and rockets developing, this movie was a surprise “keeper”! Yes! Tony plays that person’s character well I can assume!!!
Get the movie, DVD/Blu-ray. The extras have the real man, and his real neighbors. Good stuff, great "feel good" (about the USA for me), movie. You can see many of the freedoms and civility we used to have. Yea, the decline is called "progress". Go figure.
Love sir Tony it seems every role he plays just envelops you in the character and the story . As Hannibal he was just in a different league. Meet Joe black my god what a film and performance from the whole cast
Up high in my top 100 movies, one of the few I can watch more than once a year, uplifting and a helluva (true) tale and imho one of Tony's best roles, he did huge justice to Burt Monro's story and the man himself, so well done!
Great Movie,,,, I Mean a Great Movie,,,, No It's Not "Casablanca" But It's Great... Anthony Hopkins ,,, For Me ,,,, Is One of The 6 Best Actors In The World,,,, Ever,,,, Boggie,,, Sean Connery,,, Jack Nicholson,,,, James Arness,,,, Gary Cooper,,,, Marlon Brando ...

Anthony Hopkins, such a humble guy, fantastic actor. Worlds Fastest Indian, great movie..loved it.
I love how down to earth he is. A lot of artists that go on there are really stuck up...
But is he really that way off camera? Id like to believe he is...
Sorry about you mom and father tony✌️ god bless you all

One heck of a movie with super actors and a true store for all and the fine story of a true
hero of life Burt Munro.

Anthony Hopkins did a great job as Bert Munro......just like a quintessential old Kiwi codger! A top actor and great bloke.
Once in the 90's while working at Heathrow airport I met Tony Hopkins. He seemed to me to be an impeccably well mannered gentleman.
One of my favorite actors.
Anthony Hopkins, is a real Actor, simply brilliant. I have seen all his films, all good. Thank You.
A true gentleman! well done sir!!
Great movie and an awesome story about BURT MONROE and his INDIAN , 2 motorcycle geniuses come from NZ , MONROE AND BRITTON RIP
And the riding legend Ivan Mauger
Burt Munro and James Braddock are two of my favorite stories.
Great movie, loved Burt Munro, & love Sir Tony Hopkins.
Kiwi classic.
So good a Taffy played Burt.
Huge love and respect between NZ and Cymru.
Rugby has a great deal to do with it.
Hopkins loved his time here.
Kia ora Sir Tony
well said brother!
Anthony Hopkins seems like such a nice gentle man. Seems like the kind of person that would make a very good neighbor/friend.
He was also very good as Hannibal Lecter - not such an amiable gentleman
Love Anthony Hopkins since seeing him in a tioga (as a Roman) !
Knew one day he would be as great a British actor as Richard Burton.
So happy for his greater success - Agree with someone here on UT that he is the Greatest Actor today! Regards & best wishes for Happy Holidays & New Year to all !
If he offers you dinner with fava beans and a very nice chianti, be very careful. Very careful indeed.....
If he would just mow his lawn.
@@paulstandeven8572 That was the best line in the movie!
My dad couldn"t stand motorcycles.......... but he loved this film.
This was an excellent movie. one of my top 5 for sure.
The MUNRO family has Indian Motorcycles and Speed in their veins! What an honor to have Sir Anthony Hopkins play his character.
Fabulous film about an amazing man played by a total Legend.
Made my kids watch it. They became so enthusiastic they were yelling and cheering. Now we watch it about 3 times a year.
I love " Indian" & Anthony Hopkins so much... I saw this movie many many many times. (from Thailand) ...ดูหลายรอบมากเลยค่ะ ชอบมาก รักมาเลยเรื่องนี้
Wipada Thai your hot
All movies is amazing and the best Artist Sir Anthony Hopkins 🥰🥰🥰
Jay would have just loved this movie as a car and bike guy.
The greatest living actor.
It is a great movie. Not just for motorcycle nuts, but a great movie about triumphing over challenges and old age.
Last of a breed, a pinnacle for aspiring actors to achieve.
Just watched it AGAIN for the umpteenth time last night! I really hold with 'you better get busy living or get busy dying' and this man did his fair share! Great movie, great story.
