The World's Fastest Indian - Easter Eggs & Hidden Details
Easter Eggs
Tim Shadbolt Cameo
The man playing Frank, who helps organize the fundraiser for Burt in Invercargill, is Tim Shadbolt, the real-life, long-serving Mayor of Invercargill. He is a local legend in New Zealand, known for his own colorful personality.
Offerings to the God of Speed
The shelf labeled "Offerings to the God of Speed" where Burt keeps his broken pistons is a direct reference to the title of Roger Donaldson's 1971 documentary about Burt Munro.
Antarctic Angels
The biker gang Burt encounters in New Zealand are the Antarctic Angels. This is a real motorcycle club in Invercargill, and some real members were used as extras in the scene.
