Irwin and his wife Terri Irwin play themselves as animal activists who rescue an endangered crocodile, not realizing that the critter has swallowed a downed top-secret satellite beacon that's the subject of an intense search by CIA personnel. Believing that the spies are poachers out to steal the animal's precious hide, the Irwins evade their pursuers while attempting to get the crocodile to safety in a remote area of the Outback, adopting an orphaned joey (a baby kangaroo), and grappling with bird-eating spiders and poisonous snakes along the way. In the meantime, the secret agents mistakenly believe the Irwins are enemy operatives trying to steal their highly valuable technology. The real-life Irwins donated all of their fees from The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course (2002) to wildlife conservation efforts. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

    So cute. I love The Crocodile Hunter.
  • July 5, 2007
    A sensational media fad like Jack-Ass, Jerry Springer, Spice Girls, Borat, etc.

    Steve Irwin plays some dangerous games with wild animals and puts on quite a goofy show. I felt embarrassed and exploited watching this short-lived craze of a movie. Now that Steve Irwin is dead, ... read moreit makes the movie a morbid curiosity found in a Previously-Viewed bin.

    Absolutely atrocious film. This movie acts as the definition and example of the paradox of wooden acting and over-acting, present in Steve and Terri. I haven't seen all of this film, and in all fairness I probaby shouldn't be reviewing it just yet, but I feel I got more than a fa... read moreir indication of what this film is. To put it frankly, this is a rubbish movie that caters only to children......to some children. This is the entertaining, larakin side of Steve Irwin that everyone loved, but look past that and you see the true beauty of this man and his ideals. A shit movie but this entertainment gig is not what I respect Steve for. R.I.P. mate.

    About Steve Irwin doing what no one else does better, catching a big Crocodile!

    Sorry to the late environmentalist and lover of all animals, but this movie could not have been any worse if Uwe Boll had thrown the idea out during a script pool, then, deciding hastily that it was too stupid, even for the likes of him. Seriously, I thought the late- Irwin was ... read moremore intelligent than THIS.

Why, you may ask, why should you buy the movie milk when the TV cow is free? There's no good answer to that one. Full Review

When I say this movie's a charm, I'm really talking about [Steve] Irwin.

A lightweight confection that delivers exactly what it promises. Full Review

Whenever its story isn't bogged down by idiocy involving the CIA and a lost U.S. satellite, Hunter -- starring Irwin and his American wife/colleague, Terri -- is a movie children should enjoy. Full Review

As it stands, Crocodile Hunter has the hurried, badly cobbled look of the 1959 Godzilla, which combined scenes of a Japanese monster flick with canned shots of Raymond Burr commenting on the monster's... Full Review

Possibly the most unintentionally hilarious film since Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space, Steve Irwin's big-screen debut is destined to become an instant cult classic.
