Anybody seen/heard of this movie starring Anthony Hopkins? Just rented it, going to watch it later. Looks pretty good.

Inspiring, great movie, vintage iron goes fast against all odds. Nice to see Anthony Hopkins not eating people.

Bought it when it first hit DVD. Indeed, a great movie.

It was great. The wife and I watched it on our last flight from Israel. I'd gladly see it again.

Soos · « **Reply #5 on:** July 23, 2007, 02:12:05 AM »

yes, excelent movie.

Way too much inspiration if you like tinkering on bikes.
Unless you like to see how big/fast you can go.

Wonderful movie. From what I recall reading here, the movie sticks pretty closely with the facts.

Soos · « **Reply #7 on:** July 23, 2007, 05:56:25 PM »

I dunno about the hotel clerk though...

that one seems a bit far fetched.
But the fact he still holds(?) the fastest recorded speed for a bike under 1000cc's is amazing.

Great movie. I really enjoyed it. I love to see true stories like that about people that will not take "no" as an answer.

I was thinking about this movie today as I was riding around town. It was a great film and I would gladly watch it again!

GREAT movie, without sex and guns killing people.

OK, I like movies with sex and guns killing people, but sometimes is good to see something different.

Great film. shows what one man can do if he refuses to give up.

the dvd also came with the documentary "offerings to the god of speed" about burt munro, he was in it btw. anthony hopkins WAS burt munro, looked like him, sounded like him. best movie i've ever seen.

if you get netflix and have a fast connection... the movie is offered in streaming form... we're enjoying it now

cleveland · « **Reply #14 on:** May 02, 2008, 08:01:35 AM »

This is on Showtime, and with Sho on Demand you can watch it at your leisure. I did not hear of the movie until the other day when I saw it listed. Dam good movie!

I work 10-12 hour days, so TV and movies rarely make it onto my "to do" list. Besides, if I have a couple hours of free time, I am usually wrenching, riding, or shooting.

Hey Cleveland, you earn a bonus point for not starting a new thread. I can't say that I would have searched first.

see, the wrenching and riding seem like something that might steer you toward the movie... but i hear ya... although, i do my damndest to not work those hours.

A must see next time your at the video store. Damn funny too. Showed my girlfriend I don't spend too much time in the garage, compared to some.

Ecosse · « **Reply #20 on:** May 02, 2008, 11:39:05 PM »

Thanks for that trailer! I own this flick and love it... and it sort of tickles me when he mentions Springfield. I grew up not too far away from there and enjoy informing anyone who will listen THAT'S where America's first production bike came from. The documentary about Burt is great too- a must see.

Man, now I'm revved up!

Have to pop in the DVD now.

mystic_1 · « **Reply #21 on:** May 02, 2008, 11:40:05 PM »

I can't recommend this movie enough. I re-watch from time to time, when I'm wanting inspiration.

LOL When he said that I could hear "Tim the Tool Man Taylor" in the back of my head grunting. I never though tea could be so manly.

Just finished reading a book about Burt Monroe, its called, One Good Run, thats a good read too, theres some technical stuff in it too, everything that happened in the film is in the book but mover many years, Burt went to Bonneville about 10 times.

I know I'm bumping this old thread but....

I finally got to watch this film last week.

Wow, indeed what a great movie!
If you haven't seen it yet make a point to see it!

My wife bought the DVD and brought it home last week, I don't watch a lot of movies and never heard of it.

Found the movie by accident a couple years ago browsing Netflix. Definitely deserving of cult (or at least "classic") status like "On any Sunday"...

only better!

I loved the movie when I viewed it a few years ago.I like how Mr. Munro did All his own work for So many years in his garage,he even forged his own pistons

& kept at it until he got it just right ! w/ the long term goal in mind to "go to Bonneville"

He finally made it there ! and then they told him he couldn't run !

I didn't like that part of the movie..,but it did work well for him in the end
