Burt Munro's children visited the set one day, when, according to writer, producer, and director Roger Donaldson, "Tony (Sir Anthony Hopkins) was having a particularly good Burt day." His performance was so authentic that it moved them to tears.
Many of Burt Munro's tools and props from his tool shed are kept for posterity in a hardware store in Invercargill. These, as well as small pieces of costume, such as one of Munro's ties on loan from his son, were used by Sir Anthony Hopkins to add to his character's authenticity.
The set of Burt Munro's (Sir Anthony Hopkins') garage and shack was formerly the site of a gang headquarters in Invercargill, New Zealand.
Tim Shadbolt (Frank) was the Mayor of Invercargill in real-life, from 1998 to present (as of 2016).
Writer, producer, and director Roger Donaldson was initially reluctant to cast Sir Anthony Hopkins, as the two had clashed constantly when they worked together on The Bounty (1984). However, Donaldson says that it was a totally different experience, and that Hopkins was wonderful throughout the entire shoot.
"Burt Munro: If you don't follow through on your dreams, you might as well be a vegetable. Tom: [nods earnestly] What type of vegetable? Burt Munro: Hah, I don't know... a cabbage. Yeah, a cabbage."
"Tom: Aren't you scared you'll kill yourself if you crash? Burt Munro: No... You live more in five minutes on a bike like this going flat out than some people live in a lifetime."
