In the car was sold again to Jim Lattin and Elmo Gillette who ran it for the next fifteen years, with Jim Lattin and sons Bill Lattin and Greg and Mark Gillette all setting records and getting in the Club with it. They seem to do that in several films: combine several characters into one. It is possible that Jim Enz refused to let them use his name.

Jimmy Moffett sounds a bit like Jimmy Buffett, who is a cool American guy. Possible that they created a composite character based mostly on Enz and other people who assisted Munro when he was in the US.

Who knows if the Indian who helped him with his prostate problems, the transgendered motel clerk or even the very welcoming lady were real? They are just a gallery of characters, give the movie substance and help set it in context. No cash here!! Here, no cash!!!

Cash, no!!!! Using only very basic tools and plenty of homespun know-how, Burt builds a streamliner that makes up for what it lacks in terms of safety and technological advancement by chalking up a number of local land speed records.

But a niggling heart condition causes Burt to re-evaluate his life, and he becomes determined to fulfil his dream of racing on the salt at Bonneville. Peter Robinson's "15 Minutes" sentimental score. He gets a beautiful moving shot of Burt racing along a New Zealand beach cinematography by David Gribble, "Chill Factor" , that is more intense than anything we see on the Flats themselves.

In fact, Donaldson allows his film to go on too long - there is an entire segment about using a lead brick for ballast that could have been excised entirely - and he undercuts his climax with an awkward audience reminder of just what Burt's up against after demonstrating just that for the past several scenes.

While it doesn't cover any new ground as it travels 7, miles, Hopkins proves a most charming traveling companion. It is in a far southern corner of Kiwi Land and Burt tirelessly works on his vintage, much modified Indian Scout. He has rebuilt the machine many times over in pursuit of making it the fastest possible, even casting his own pistons to get the best performance achievable. He finally gets the opportunity to live his dream and ships himself and his beloved bike to where the fastest people in the world flock to — Bonneville, better known to the racers as The Flats.

Here, instead of reuniting with a long lost brother, Burt is out to prove something to himself - that his is the fastest Indian motorcycle in the world.
