Steve and Terri Irwin get caught up in an international incident after a croc' there trying to save eats a renegade satellite. Bungling agents are dispatched to retrieve the object, and are taught a good ol' fashioned Steve-O lesson in the process! A gun-totin' lady cattlerancher and her pack of vicious dogs add even more fun to the mix! Humorous and educational, with enough action to keep things hoppin' like a kangaroo in a briar patch! Great sequences with Steve 'n' Terri doing what they do best make this an all around great family croc-hunter fiesta! Highly recommended...

The Crocodile Hunter is also known as Steve Irwin. He is famous for his adventures in the wild, as he captures real animals. The best part is that none of it is a computer generated image or anything of the sort. All of the animal action in this movie is real, and that's what makes it fun. The Crocodile Hunter is the animal hunter who is always happy, and always ready for the next adventure. The only difference between his television show and his movie "The Crocodile Hunter Collision Course" is that the movie actually has a plot. I feel that the plot killed the story a little bit. It is kind of like the "Garfield" movie. "Garfield" is about a fat, lazy cat who never seems to want to leave his home. The problem with that movie is that it has a boring plot. The beginning is good because we get a sense of Garfield's lifestyle and regular routines. The highlights of "The Crocodile Hunter Collision Course" are the scenes where Steve Irwin is exploring the wildlife, and doing what he does best. Once the storyline kicks in, some of the scenes are stupid a childlike. The could have made a plot similar to the television show, and still have a good adventure story. Irwin makes up for the faults in the movie, because he is always having a good time, and wants us to have a good time watching him. 80% of this movie is fun, while the other 20% could have been changed when it was written. It's a shame this movie didn't make as much money at the box office. It would have probably been better on the big screen, but I missed this one and had to watch it on video.

The story is about a top secret government satellite which has blown up and brought a device that is very important into the Australian outback where it has been swallowed by a crocodile. If the device falls into the wrong hands, it could mean trouble. The CIA has two agents Bob and Vaughan to find the crocodile and get the device back. Another person is plotting to get the device. Their contact Jo has been assigned to get the device, by pretending to be helping them. They don't know how hard it'll be to find the crocodile because of two reasons. The first is the cattle farmer named Brozzie who hates crocodiles and people who go onto her land. The other reason is because of Steve Irwin and his wife Terri. They are a couple devoted to helping the animals. They believe that the government agents are really poachers who want to steal the crododile. They decide to go on a journey to the Austrilian outback, get the crocodile, take it with them, and release it far away and out of danger. The journey is not going to be easy, and the race to the crocodile is on.

"The Crocodile Hunter Collision Course" may have a lame plot and some lame acting, but it is because of Steve Irwin that makes the movie work. I'm glad that Steve Irwin and his wife are playing themseleves, and not playing people similar to them or something like that. If they ever made a sequal to this movie, they should make it more about the jungle, and something that the Irwins have to do there because of something wrong with the animals instead of throwing in the governement and lame things like that. "The Crocodile Hunter Collision Course" came out during the summer, and now that it is summer again, although two years later, it is the perfect family film to rent and watch anytime. It's action packed, full of fun, and should be satisfying to anybody who will give it the time of day.

ENJOY!

Rated PG for action violence/peril and mild language.

Being a big fan of the Crocodile Hunter, I loved this movie!!
One of the great things of this movie is that it's great for all
ages. Like the Crocodile Hunter would say is that the beauty of the film is that everything is real and is right up with you. I was ethusiastic about all parts of the movie but one of my most favorite parts was when Steve Irwin got on the car and started to fight the CIA agent!! LOL!!! Those funny times!! Then there was also the part when he calmed down the biggest snake in Austrailia!! WOO!! It was amazing!!!!! I th ink the biggest reason that this movie is great was because of Steve Irwin himself!! Well I hope I convinced you into buying this great film!!

I thought that it was a movie alot like his shows that he has, I really think that he should make some more movies that are like his shows. I would seriously love to meet him. My brother is a snake hunter. He catches snakes,views them, and releases them back where they came from, safely. He got me catching wild creatures too, I really love animals and would do anything, even if it means injuring and/or taking my life to save an animal. I would just love to meet Steve and Terri Irwin, if you have any way I would be able to meet them please e-mail me at, sonyastar2002@yahoo.com
Thanks and I loved the movie alot. It is great.

wow, what can I say about this movie. I was forced to see this movie by my little brother, and all I can say is that this movie was terrible! I felt like I was locked in a prison and being tortured! This movie should of gone straight to video. The entire movie's plot had nothing to do with Steve Erwin, other than the fact that he happens to stumble along the satelite info. near the end of the movie. The rest of the movie, it just shows Steve and Terri finding animals, and some CIA agent looking for the satellite. It was more like the t.v. show than anything else. If you have younger kids that watch the show, than you should get this for them. But if you don't, than this is not the movie for you.

I love Steve and Terri Irwin and their tv shows and I really liked this film! It was vintage Steve and I did feel like I was watching the tv show because I felt all the excitement of the animal captures yet in film, not video. It gave it a richer quality. I felt as if Steve and Terri were not acting, they were being themselves. This is a great family film and I highly recommend it!

Steve and Terri are the best. Maybe its a little crazy to risk your life to save animals...BUT should we all have a passion to be so enthusiastic about. At least he is contributing something to the world..with so many species endangered. Of course any intelligent person would realise that NOT ALL Australians act this way, so hey Aussie cousins "lighten up and chill out". This is a good fun movie for kids and you learn a little something about caring for animals. I borrowed the movie from a friend and now buying the DVD for my kids. Sure there is no deep plot, or the greatest acting...but come on...everything doesnt have to be heavy and deep to just be good plain fun. Steve and Terri you guys ROCK!! -- Tamu

man this movie was bad. Steve Irwin and Terri Irwin cant act and the premise is mind-numbing. with boring supportees, like poachers or that crazy fat lady, its a real bore. I shouldnt of wasted my money at the theaters for this. dont even bother mates

This movie is fun to watch. It is about the Irwins trying to save a crocodile that swallowed a valuable piece of metal that looks like a top from the "poachers", who are really CIA agents trying to get the space thing back. One part that's really funny is when they are talking about how dangerous Steve Irwin is, and there are goofy photos of him in the background. It is a fun movie that will make you laugh, especially if you love Steve Irwin. I am a big fan of his, so I like this movie. It's cute. There are some parts, when Steve is not shown, that are really boring, like when the CIA agents are talking back in Washington DC.

My pet peeve is the DVD menu. I cannot read it! Even with my glasses on! The font is weird and hard to read, and it's also tiny and in a light color that is hard to read. That's my only problem with this DVD. Great extras, like a video with the Baha men!

I love Steve Irwin's Crocodile Hunter show and completely respect what he does for wildlife, but this movie was really lacking substance. I felt like I was watching outtakes of the Crocodile Hunter. My biggest complaint: taking a great show and trying to make it into a 90 minute movie. It comes out looking rather absurd because it tries to press this idea that somehow a crocodile in Austrailia is going to eat a intelligence satellite that has fallen from space and that the FBI is going to track the Irwins for withholding classified government information.
I realize that this idea is far-fetched on purpose and only for entertainment value, but still, most of the dialogue seems spoonfed and inane. Personally I think that they should have just taken the show and made a long documentary and released it onto video.

There are several positives to the movie: Steve Irwin and the extras on DVD. Steve Irwin is always fun to watch; his goofy and outlandish wisecracks and antics kept me attentive to the film. Whether he is talking about a deadly venomous spider from Austrailia, running down and trying to catch a lizard to show the audience, or trying to track down a crocodile, he is always entertaining to watch. The DVD gives you some of the extras like behind the scenes footage of the stunts from the movie, a few outtakes, as well as 10 deleted scenes that did not make it into the movie. For this reason, I suggest if you are purchasing this movie to get the DVD over the VHS.
