Summary: CIA meets the Irwins
Review: 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. ^_^

Summary: A Crocodile Hunter Adventure!
Review: 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.

Summary: don't see this
Review: 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
