Kriton Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Hmmm... I like this movie - it came and went incredibly fast in the theaters, if was ever in the theaters. Story about an older pensioner (legendary Bill Munro) with heart problems (played by Anthony Hopkins) from New Zealand whose life long ambition is to run his 50 year old souped up twin cylinder death trap Indian motorcycle at Bonneville, and his travails and travels to get to Bonneville (including the he-she who helps him, and ground up dog balls - don't ask). I enjoy pretty much anything Anthony Hopkins is in...I still expected him to try and eat the kid always hanging around his shop...He IS the movie of course, and while the story drags a bit, the race scenes and the speed trials kept me on my edge (having broken a few laws on a motor cycle in my younger days). I thought it was an overall solid effort, and a good showcase for Hopkins. Has a few suggestive scenes (he seems to do pretty well with the ladies he meets) , but I think it is about as PG as they come these days, good "follow your dreams" flick for families. I recommend renting it this weekend. K Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedball Posted July 6, 2006 Share Posted July 6, 2006 Sounds sort of interesting......... Our local Cadillac dealer stopped selling Indian motorcycles after a couple years. The prices were around 14k to 22k per bike. Sure could get some nice audio equipment with that kind of money.......[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merkin Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I watched it last week. I thought it was very entertaining. Doesn't keep you on the edge of your seat but a good flick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
