From Amazon.com: This first movie from the Discovery Channel favorite opens with a plot of international intrigue over a downed satellite, but within four minutes Steve Irwin is belly flopping after a baby croc on the outback floor. Steve and his nerves-of-steel sidekick wife, Terri, are asked to relocate a cattle-chomping crocodile before it's shot by a local rancher. This same reptile happened to swallow the intelligence-gathering device that fell to earth, and so begins the goofball premise of this lark of a movie. The feds believe the Irwins are appropriating their classified info, and the Irwins think they're running from poachers. Quibblers may object to Irwin's frequent interruptions to introduce a bird-eating spider or paw through croc dung, but Crocodile Hunter fans wouldn't have it any other way. This 89-minute film is rated PG for action violence/peril and mild language. But unless you consider "crikey" an obscenity, it's a safe bet for family viewing. (Ages 4 and older) --Kimberly Heinrichs
basically an extension of the Crocodle Hunter TV series: 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 3/5
Steve 'N' Terri To The Rescue!: 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...
How I thought of the movie.: 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.
Crikey Review: 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!!
A Crocodile Hunter Adventure!: 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.
