The title


I really loved this movie, the one thing I don't like about it is the title, it's really terrible.
Anyone has better suggestions? Flying Burt? Or just Burt Munro maybe?

What's wrong with the title? And how on earth is "Flying Burt" any sort of improvement?

The title is a fact.

If you know anything about old motorcycles you will agree that a stock 45 cubic inch flathead Indian is about as fast as the lead brick Burt used for ballast. The additional fact that he still holds the land speed record for motorcycles under 1,000 ccs is, well, imponderable.

I think "Burt's Big Bike" would have been a really cool title.

I see things that never were and say WHAT THE..!.

Huh!! The title is exactly descriptive of the film. Its a great little film

I think the title is a good choice. At first I saw it and though "is this about an Indian that can run really fast?" and then when I realized it was talking about the motorcycle I thought "ooooo, that's what it's talking about, makes sens"

And I felt mighty dumb about it :(
