The World's Fastest Indian (2005) • From the Vault • Hopkins' Best Role in Years

Join Darryl as he dives into the archives for The World's Fastest Indian, the 2005 film from Roger Donaldson starring Anthony Hopkins as real life New Zealand speed record chaser Burt Munro. This From the Vault episode revisits Donaldson's decades long fascination with Munro's story and asks whether it still holds up as one of the most purely enjoyable underdog films of its era. This episode contains full spoilers. In this review, Darryl shares why Anthony Hopkins' performance as Burt Munro left him completely won over, the small vibrating mattress gag that stuck with him long after the credits rolled, and why he now regrets waiting twenty years to finally watch it.
