It might be a bit early for a legal DVD, if memory serves the film isn't going to be released in the USA until February.

I would almost guarantee it. "Wave Rider" did. According to AllMovie the main release in the US isn't until 3 Feb. Probably be sometimes after then(?)

I am sure that I saw and heard it mentioned on TV recently that they were showing it now in the states... not long after it was released in NZ...

Maybe I heard the news item all wrong...

DVD release is all but gauranteed I would think. Still in Cinemas here in Kiwiland though so I supect it is still a few months away.
I intend to score a copy when it is released - best movie I've seen in months.

"Peter Hallinan stated his displeasure with the fact that only people from "down under" had commented on this movie, and I wanted to say that is because the movie is a long way from being released here in the US. They will run it in a few theaters for a week in mid-December, but it won't actually get full release here until February of 2006. "

I half expect it to be in the Special Fetures of the DVD when it comes out.

I went to the movie. Then Te Papa. Now I have the book. Up to chapter 10 and what a read. Not about the bike as much as the man to this point in the book. Stuff about the bikes in his life but it really is an eye opener to why Burt was who he was. Grab the book while you are waiting for the DVD.

A Te Papa scoop for summer! Come and see the replica of Burt Munro’s 1962 record-breaking bike - the ‘Munro Special’ Indian Scout - as featured in the great Kiwi movie The World's Fastest Indian.

With my luck, the movie will be over in NZ by the time I get there, and only play for a week here, which will be while I'm in NZ! Hopefully the DVD will be available when I get there, if not will have to have it mailed by my brother.
Cheers

It is a great movie. Get the book if you can't see the movie. The movie catches the passion of the man. The book gives you a lot of detail of what made Burt the man he was. Also a bit about what he did to the bikes he owned and what things he competed in. The book and the movie have different focus but together they complement each other. I have a few chapters to go in the book but I understand "WHY"

From the USA?:spudwave: Ain't it a small world. Enjoy your stay in Kiwi land.

Saw the movie, read the book, usually takes me about a month to read a book, took me 4 days, fantastic book.

Gixxa 4 ever said it in a nutshell. :banana:

Thanks Raster
Finished da book
11 January 1978 Bert (Burt) died peacefully at home.
Everyone should read this book. Never again should any of us think life is to hard. Grit your teeth and work it out.
What a man.
RIP Burt. You made a difference

Does anyone know what happened to the real bike(s)?
I remember seeing an old Indial that looked similar in the big hardware store in Invercargill.
A hall of a movie - should be Oscar material. Must have been an interesting guy, although hard to live with/ neighbouring
Geoff
A collector has the frame in the states. The original engine was taken out and replaced with a similar one. Bert could not come to sell it. Suppose he put it in the second frame and continued to race it here in NZ. So with that in mind the person that purchased the Indian, here in NZ when he stopped riding( the second frame) probably has it. But this is only a guess as I do not know for sure. This is what I conclude from the book. It was putting out 6 times the power than when it was first made.

I heard an advert on the radio yesterday, saying the DVD is available at Dick Smiths Powerhouse stores for $29.95.

Right, off to do a purchase sometime soon...:blip:

It is now available at video shops to hire as well now as "New releases".

I spotted the DVD for hire up at the video shop up at Westgate behind the shell petrol station on Saturday Night.

Or you could check out the Warehouse where they are $23.95. Went on general sale last Tuesday but have been rentable for some time.

I purchased my copy of the DVD for $28 from the Warehouse last week. The lady even threw in a free poster to go with it.:rockon:

The Warehouse has them on sale now for $26.86 (where DO they get their weird pricing from?) but I paid $26.95 at Whitcoulls last week and got a free black and white cap with the movie title printed on it. Bonus! And it goes towards my points at Whitcoulls so I get a $5 voucher for every $100 spent on books, cards, magazines, DVDs, etc.
