  • burt monroe..said (well in the movie at least) ' if you don't follow your passion, you may as well be a vegetable.' Such an amazing man!!!

  • How is the second song?

  • i like this movie real good

  • Yahoo...thanks for making my miserable day a great one!

  • Very inspiring!

  • i just have seen it 1 hours ago, amazing movie and i didn't know was after a real story!

  • just saw this was great and the way they shot it was amazing

  • Awesome movie!

  • One of the greatest films I saw in the last months.

    Just watched it yesterday, and it is awesome!

  • True story

  • This is an excellent movie and I have to say Roger Donaldson has done an amazing job, to if you read the book by Tim Hanna after the same name you will realize as I did how incredibly talented and brilliantly minded Burt Munro was. I mean, forging his own pistons, hacksawing and filing camshaft profiles??? How is that possible? I know he is only human but anyone who knew him said he was one of the best. I had no idea until I read the book, and it is supremely written too by the way

  • @kiwipirate600 He was another Peter Brittenn.He had an eye for detail,a basic knowledge and perseverance of what worked,and what didnt,and to hell with the high tech.And went from there.He truly was from the " No 8 wire" generation,sadly now fading away in NZ.And as far as I know,the record set by Burt still stands to this day.

  • @saltydog45 Peter Brittenn? Are you talking about John Britten? And yes, Burt's record for streamlined motorcycles under 1000cc still stands.

  • @sunonthewindow I stand corrected! Yep,John Brittenn.There was a very good documentary made about the first time they went to the USA to race the bike,scavenging preloved tyres and all.The only parts that failed were the ones they didnt make or design,and footage of the bike pulling wheel stands beside the leading Ducati bikes on the straights is no mean feat!

  • A portion of the doco is on YouTube as part of an old Top Gear Programme.Just copy and paste in to the search pane: Top Gear: Britten V1000 Racing Motorcycle

  • @saltydog45 that was actually because of the poorly designed fairings that generated uplift mate. so whenever they put the power down the aerodynamics of the bike would put the front wheel into the air. You need to read the books about Britten also mate. the doco's slightly bend the truth.. the bike wasnt toying with the dukes at all, sadly they couldnt get past them and 2nd place most the time. but farout it was a bloody amazing achievement! once fairings where redesigned the bike really went

  • @fergus1494 Thanks,I might just do that. The dreaded wing effect....

  • @sunonthewindow They actually banned burt before his last planned trip as with the bike getting faster they found it just to risky to let him run, after that burts health went downhill a bit, he lost co ordination and sold his indian frame in usa also he locally sold his velocette (also held a landspeed record) and indian with another frame locally. The frame in us has an engine made from spare parts. Burts under 1k record has been frozen so you cant beat it even if you officially beat it..

  • @sunonthewindow one last thing mate.. google burt munro letters also, very interesting stuff. "183.58 mph. That set a record in the category of "streamlined motorcycles under 1,000cc." To qualify, he made a one-way run of 190.07 mph, the fastest ever officially recorded speed on an Indian." he also got over 190 from memory in an officially timed non official run.. an interesting note is it took years for burts ohv config to go as fast as his sidevalve engine

  • @ jjlingjunjie Wildflower by the Cult

  • What's the musics featured in this video~~??? The second is the Police on my back, how bout the first?

  • GREAT MOVIE !!!

  • That is me "Binocular Boy" at 1:08, you can see me better in the actual movie. I was a racing official and in almost every scene on the Salt Flats. We were there for two weeks filming. They put me up in the Golden Nugget Hotel in Wendover Nevada free of charge, as well as all the food I could eat, and the best cars and motorcycles on the planet. What a life!

  • I thought that his accent was pretty good through most of the movie, of course in some parts it was a little off, but quite believable in most of the movie...so many people can't do the NZ accent without sounding like an Aussie steriotype lol

  • this movie is the best movie ever

  • why did he pullover if he was doing 150-160 lol who does that?

  • Brilliant film, one of Hopkins best parts - but God, check out this and other versions of the trailer and it just goes to prove that they had NO IDEA how to market this film - the music and voiceovers they use in them were so innapropriate for the films tone.

  • love this movie...the kiwi accent isnt right but apparently it's a real hard accent to get lol....

  • "I'm from New Zealand."

    "...where?!"

    haha. i'm so surprised and happy to see him in this role! he just keeps surprising me again and again with his range. i've only seen a few of his key films but i look forward to the long list of films that await me. that's why i love it when i stumble across a great actor: being able to go through all their films is so exciting!

  • Amazing film.Once in a lifetime performance of Anthony Hopkins

  • i louve this movie ::)

  • crashing sucks.

  • Burt Munro very simple mind! Genius! Brilliant movie. I love it. I highly recommened.

  • Does'nt he snack someone between rides...?

  • snack? like eat someone ? no thats in another movie where he played hannibal lecter lol jk :)

  • I think Anthony Hopkins is Welsh? I don't know.. somewhere from the UK.. but he portrayed the New Zealand accent perfectly... thats what they sound like in the South Island.

  • Yeah he is Welsh, I'm from the UK and he was born in Port Talbot in Wales.

  • I just this movie pretty nuts

  • He can go up to 201.85 mph!That's a lot of speed!

  • He did it in 1967.

    The record for that category still stands!

  • I was a young boat racer growing up. I like Burt spent hours and lotsa money for that extra mile an hour. Very funny and inspirational. After I bought the dvd I watched it over and over again, my girlfriend thought I was nuts but I just love the story and Burt. P.S. the book is even better!
