Thumbs up Worlds Fastest Indian

I am at a loss for words. (that rarely ever happens) this movie is one of the BEST motorcycle movies I have ever seen. Unbelievably well done.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0412080/

This old coger and the young lad from next door watching everything the old guy does as he builds his bike..... wont say anymore. Just be sure to see it.


What an outstanding movie. Brought tears to my eyes on more than one occasion....


More on the movie!

I want to see this film, unfortunately there is only a handful of theaters (maybe three) in the Greater Boston area that are playing them. Small houses. Looks like Lowes didn't want to bite this one.

This is truely a great movie. No "gearhead" could walk away without a lasting impression being made. The passion for motorcycles portrayed in the movie, constantly tugged at my soul...

I've been wanting to see this one too. I heard that it should be coming to DVD fairly quick (within a month) due to being played in limited theaters.

Watched it the other day. For some reason I kept thinking this was Crocodile Dundee on a bike.
Good movie all the way through.

I saw the WFI a few weeks ago and was blown away! This is one of the best movies I have ever seen!

It's an amazing movie. You know it's good when even "Non - Motorcycle" people are saying it was one of the Best movies they have seen.... I had already seen it when I went to the IMDB looking for some background info about it and read the reviews there. I was blown away by the comments I read!

*** The links in the first post have literally tons of info about and how they made the movie. The story behind the making of it is every bit as good as the movie. Read what they said about Anthony Hopkins and the actual bike, Great reading!

I took in WFI with my wife last night. What a wonderful story. Just great.

My wife, who shares none of my motorcycle passion, loved the movie.

She thought it would just be a movie about motorcycles and only went to see it because she knew how much I wanted to see it.

BTW, there were only about 8 other people in the theater for the 9:10 pm showing. I hope it is doing well in other places.
