The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course (2002)

Best movie ever!

The first must-see film of the year.

After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Steve Irwin, The Crocodile Hunter, and his wife Terri work to save the animals of the Australian outback. An US satellite beacon has fallen out of the sky and landed in Australia. It gets swallowed by a crocodile. CIA agents are sent to retrieve it. American agent Jo Buckley is also sent to get the beacon to use in inter-agency politics. Cattle station owner Brozzie Drewitt is also looking the kill the croc on her lands. Australian Government Fisheries worker Sam Flynn tries to relocate the croc by hiring the Irwins before Brozzie shoots it.Steve Irwin has an infectious charm. His act is great. There is a natural magnetism about him. Sadly, this movie decides to tie him to this silly international spy stuff. Then the movie adds the terribly broad Magda Szubanski. The whole thing is schizophrenic. I'm perfectly happy to watch Steve wrestle a crocodile. Somebody needs to make a good movie around him. This is not that movie.

this is basically just an extension of the Crocodile Hunter TV series.it has it's amusing moments,and is entertaining enough,but it's not much more than a fluff piece.the plot is pretty weak,and most of the characters have no depth or development.most of the movie seems like just a showcase for Irwin's antics.plus,after about the 70 minute mark,it seems to lose any steam that it did have.still Steve Irwin and his wife Terri(playing themselves)are both likable characters,and Steve's antics are amusing.even in the movie,it's not hard to see their passion for wildlife.the message about how we should love and respect the animals on the planet,since many of them were here before us,and we are encroaching on their habitat,is not at all heavy handed or preachy.for me,Crocodile Hunter:Collision Course is a 6/10

I saw this movie in the theaters and, though the plot was thin, i was watching a man who adored what he was doing and that made it a thrilling experience.The story was basically there to give the croc hunter something to work with while doing the usual showcasing of his passion. It wasn't necessarily a longer episode of his show - it was an actual story happening as he is filming a show and, even when the bad guys are after, he's still talking to the camera, to us, like we're watching a show. i found that as a brilliant take as opposed to Steve Irwin just acting like he was in the movie and we were just watching. He brought us right in.People thought he was silly and even nuts - but now we all know that there will never be another Steve Irwin and i don't know how soon it will be before we find another person as devoted to wild life as he was.God bless Steve Irwin

Only in America can a moron like Steve Irwin be a "star".I long for the days when people like Danny Kaye, Audrey Hepburn and Betty Davis ruled the house. Those people were stars.Nowadays, someone like Paris Hilton, bimbo that she is, is considered a star for Petes Sake. So, it should come as no surprise that an idiot like Steve Irwin is considered a "star" in America. It simply takes no talent to be a celebrity anymore. It's all about over the top persona's. If you happen to have one of those, and especially if you have a sex tape floating around on the internet, then somewhere there is a camera looking for you, a contract waiting to be signed and an entourage of groupies waiting to follow you around like dogs in heat. Sheesh!Thankfully, this movie tanked. There must be a God after all!
