Fastest Indian

   At The Cinema                           


The World's Fastest Indian



I may be the onliest person on earth who never heard of this 2005 movie, or if I did thought it was a Jim Thorp bio. What's not to like?  Anthony Hopkins playing a real life man with acute angina, prostate problems and a 1920 Indian Scout motorcycle he hand makes pistons for. Made my night.  There's also a "Making Of" film.

I'm with you, Sid! Although I didn't have 6 gears, I did have a 68 GTO with a 400 c.i.d. engine and one barrel for each cylinder, and was going through MD in a hurry one night. The radar printout read 138 - in a 55 zone! Things were different in 1970!

I found a torrent for it. It took a day to download and has Dutch subtitles, but it was worth it. Good movie pick, Rodge!
