The first time I heard of this movie, it was playing in the cinemas in New Zealand. The flick had been showing for the longest time. Almost like it was ‘The Matrix’ or something. Honestly, I wasn’t very interested in the least. I mean when you hear ‘The World’s Fastest Indian’, you pretty much think of a brown guy running really fast. But after a gazillion rave reviews from EVERYONE around me saying how fantastic it was, I was finally dragged away unwillingly to see it.

Turns out it was pretty amazing. Based on one hell of a true story even. I was so prepared to not give it a chance, but from the opening scene… really, it doesn’t matter who you are, you’ll be pretty much sold. I guarantee it!

Director Roger Donaldson had initially started working on this movie about 20 years ago before he started filming. He also made the original Burt Munro documentary “Offerings to the God of Speed” which is amazing to watch after watching the actual movie because everything about the real Burt, Donaldson has copied to a “T”, from casting Anthony Hopkins who makes a perfect Munro (makes a perfect anyone really, I mean it IS Anthony Hopkins!), to the dialogue used by the real Burt. If you watch both films, you’ll notice that much of the movie script comes from the documentary and out of the horses mouth. Very satisfying it is, watching a true story that is portrayed so truly, and not exaggerated or Hollywooded. Also, keep an eye out for the slogan of one of Burt’s shirt in the documentary! It’ll crack you up when you make the connection to the movie!

Tim Shadbolt, current Mayor of Invercargill (you know he dates a 22 year old!!! She’s pretty hot too. Well she was 22 about two years ago… why didn’t I just say 24? ZzZzzz don’t mind me, keep reading.) gets a cameo appearance in the movie. How cool is that?? He’s the guy on the stage with Hopkins during the birthday party. Bit of an inside joke for New Zealanders. I remember the whole cinema burst out into laughter when he came on screen.

So, I’m writing this review and recommendation of sorts as well as various useless personal observations that you probably won’t even read, 2 years after the movie debuted. Why do I do weird and pointless things like that? Mostly because it’s a great movie, and after moving to North America, realizing that none of my friends here had even heard of such a fantabulous movie. So this is for you guys. Hope you likes

I love Terry Pratchett. He is most definitely and without a doubt my absolute favourite author in the world EVER! If you’ve never heard about the Discworld series, then you haven’t lived I tell you! HAVEN’T LIVED!! ARGH!!!

And he has Alzheimer’s, diagnosed in August 2007. IT’S SO DEPRESSING!!! I NEVER EVEN GOT TO GO TO A BOOK SIGNING!!! :(:(:(:( He has stated quite flippantly and rather bravely however, that there is still time “for at least a few more books yet”, and while that is fantastical, tisn’t the point really. The man is so freaking cool he even managed to give a speech to the Alzheimer’s Research Trust that raised a few laughs and chuckles, while he was donating 1 million dollars to the cause.

Here’s a video (part 1 and 2) of his speech, where he talks about his condition, visiting the lands of Dementia and Mania, Lara Croff’s Buttocks, Eating the Back End of Moles and Dirty Charlie the Crack Dealer.

You can read the transcript of his speech here, and visit his site here, as well as donate to “The Alzheimer’s Research Trust UK” or make a tax-free donation to the “Alzheimer’s Association (of America)” through his site.
