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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good movie on the whole,a bit less convincing than TV series, September 10, 2002

By	Kakararaniniginjia Sinitraviwasanjofraz (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

As a sort of low-key action-adventure movie, this was pretty successful. The story was okay, never boring. As for the fictionalized characters, they were kind-of hit-and-miss, sometimes entertaining in a usually humorous way, sometimes just plain silly. The CIA operatives in Australia were ambiguous characters. It was hard to tell what degree of villainry to ascribe to each, which if any could be seen as non-villainous, and hard to completely buy into the movie's way of seeming to resolve those issues in the end. But if you don't care too much about that, their actions and contribution to the story are watchable. The fat rancherwoman was a sometimes hilarious but sometimes stupidly overplayed character, but on the whole a passable contribution to the story. As for Steve and Terri Irwin, they were their usual selves, doing what they do best. It seemed like their adventures were on the whole a bit less authentic than in their TV series, but maybe that's in part because such lack of authenticity is what we so often expect from movies. The one time I thought most strongly I was seeing something I would never expect Steve Irwin to do in real life was when he used the snake he was relocating to scare off the pursuer being dragged behind his truck. That's just not how I would expect him to treat the animals. But then in his regular show I've never seen a time when he had any such need to fend off a human pursuer. His utter naivety to the fact that someone other than poachers was pursuing him and Terri was mostly funny, but began to get a little old. Still on the whole I found this a worthwhile adventure movie, with mostly credible episodes of what Steve and Terri really do, well integrated into it.

5.0 out of 5 stars CIA meets the Irwins, July 25, 2004

By	Norliza Ismail "The Librarian" (Seria, Kuala Belait Brunei Darussalam) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Crocodile Hunter - Collision Course (DVD)

Not what I thought it would be. I thought this would be one of those ala Spice Girls movies, where they just prance around the frame doing the behind the scene stuff....Boy I was wrong.

THIS MOVIE ROCKS! Yes, as much as crazy as I am to say that, but it is. This is a story of the Irwins, doing what they do best with a twist. While they try to rescue a croc from a nutcase trigger happy ranch owner, the USA CIA has a misunderstanding thinking the Irwins are some sort of terrorist or something. So, they run around following them, with mishaps happening upon them while the Irwins thought they are poachers o_o"

Along the way, it's laughter all the way, along with the usual Steve Irwin special edge. You should give this movie a try and not past it by thinking it's just stupid. If you need a laugh, grab this one for your entertaiment list. ^_^
