This was a project unfinished when Steve Irwin died. What the exact format was supposed to be I don't know. As it turned out, the narration and 'framing' of the various segments stars Phillipe Cousteau, grandson of Captain Jacques Cousteau. Phillipe Cousteau and Steve Irwin were apparently working on this project together. There are various segments about different Dangerous ocean creatures, filmed by different naturalists. Steve and Phillipe are the common threads.

It's not a bad show. There is a very slight disjointed feel because of the different segments with different naturalists and film crews and only Phillipe Cousteau alive to do narration. And yes, there is a certain morbid creepiness in the viewer who knows that Steve Irwin was killed by one of the least dangerous of the "dangerous" creatures.

I have not seen the DVD version yet, if there is additional footage I am not aware of it. None is mentioned in the advertisement.

I ordered this for my son because he is an animal lover and fan of Steve Irwin, sadly we know that this was Irwin's last film. The video highlights the ocean's deadliest creatures as the name implies and the images are really beautiful. I have not yet watched the full video yet, but my son told me that they did not include any of the stingray segment. I would recommend this DVD for any Irwin fan.

I saw this when it first came out, I'd have to agree with the other reviewers that it is a little weird to watch it knowing that Steve was killed during filming. However it still shows love for the ocean animals which I think was what Steve would have wanted. Anyway, I would reccomend this video and have people keep in mind that this isn't a typical Croc Hunter episode.

I watched the television program version. I'm not sure if the DVD differs, but the program was great. If you're an ocean loving person it is absolutely worth owning. It is, however, hard to stay emmersed in the content while knowing that Steve Irwin died in the making.

I liked it a lot but I have been crazy about Aussie animals since I was a kid. I have been to Australia and was lucky to see a few of these animals. I had seen all before on the Crocodile Hunter series. It was nice to see a scientific as well as entertaining show. It was a heart breaker that is was the last time seeing Steve Irwin. I have been watching him for about 10 years. It was like losing a favorite teacher. I was in tears watching this. The program is in a similar format to the vet show Steve Irwin did on Animal Planet. The DVD is NTSC region 0 so it plays on all players. Phillipe Cousteau is hot so that was a bonus. Best wishes to the Irwin family and thanks tons for releasing the DVD.
