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

Steve Irwin's message is conservation.......2007-09-03
This movie is made with all ages in mind, and the message is not self-promotion--he said he never intended to be movie star, and remarked he did not like the mentality of Hollywood--but instead to promote conservation. This movie can be watched without worrying about bad language or indecency, and instead can be educational and entertaining at the same time. This is a movie by one of the world's most well-known personalities, yet a celebrity without the associated problems of alcoholism, drugs, marital unfaithfulness, inability to follow laws, or any other vice or self-promotion exhibited by most other celebrities*. He put the majority of his money back into conservation and his zoo (in order to promote interest in conservation), he worked hard to promote his message with the last 4 years of his life in pain from all the injuries from his personal hands-on approach, never shunning hard work or danger, cared nothing about fashion or trying to look good, shunned the luxury life with the exception of promotional tours (on wildlife expeditions, he refused using a caravan, opting instead to rough it with his team), was a loving father and husband, and often told his coworkers how proud he was of them and how much he loved them--an all around good bloke. Please support him and his message and the Wildlife Warriors by educating your children and yourselves with this great video.
*After 10 years of public life, the only thing detractors could come up with is Steve feeding a croc while holding his baby boy. Keep in mind, this is a man who studied them and handled them for 30+ years at the time of this incident. The incident was made to look worse due to a bad camera angle, and the croc was already tired out before Steve's approach with his baby. Crocodilians have limited energy reserves, and the best place to be if in proximity to one (besides the rear) is directly in front, as their striking power is lightning fast from side to side. Also the croc in question was a large one, the large ones having much less forward speed on land due to bulk than a smaller more agile one. Steve was in control, and many factors were in his favor, but these facts are seldom mentioned.
The Crocodile Hunter-Collision Course.......2007-08-05
Wild and wacky and up close with the Crocodile Hunter's greatest moments, this DVD reminds us why we love Steve Irwin! Great adventure! Great info!
Good old fashion fun........2007-06-03
As another reviewer stated, it has no special effects (other than a few fake animal closeups, and editing magic). Made the way movies used to be. The plot is unplausible and lame, the acting could be better. A movie of Irwin and his wife carelessly playing with dangerous animals. I gave it 4 stars because my wife and others liked it. I thought it was amusing and held my attention at best. As an animal advocate Irwin should realize it's a bad idea to leave a rope tied around a croc's mouth mouth with a good possiblity that it will escape and die. I am bad at over-analizing movies. Kids should enjoy it.
A TRAGIC LOSS FOR SURE!.......2007-02-05
I ORDERED THIS ONE FOR MY NIECE, AND I'M SURE SHE'S ENJOYING IT. STEVE IRWIN WAS A TRAGIC LOSS FOR SURE.
Surprisingly good!.......2007-01-12
I'm almost ashamed to admit how much I enjoyed this film. It wasn't just the result of fangirl bias - I rarely watch the Crocodile Hunter and barely knew anything about him before I saw the movie. Perhaps it seems good because my expectations were low, but I really think it also succeeds on it's own in a few ways.
Except for Irwin's message about conservation, there is nothing that could be taken seriously about Collision Course, but that is it's strength. The plot is hokey, the comedy low-brow, and there were one or two stunts in there that nearly made me laugh at how fake they looked; and as for the acting, well - honestly, Steve was one of the most engaging of the bunch, and he wasn't even trying!
But I knew I was going to like this movie in the first few minutes. A capsule containing highly sensitive, top-secret information falls from an American space satellite to a waterhole in Australia, where a croc immediately finds it and swallows it whole. When two CIA agents, in a scene that's played quite seriously, are sent to retrieve said capsule, one of them expresses relief that Australia is a "friendly country". That's very obvious code for "crazy and dangerous hijinks shall ensue once we get there". There was a self-aware silliness to all of it that made me grin. It's childish, but it sure is fun to watch.
The Irwins' encounters with real, dangerous creatures were fascinating as well, more so because very little of it seemed staged; they delivered the only genuine suspense. The downside to these Croc-hunting scenarios is how much they distract from the plot, but that may also be a good thing.
The left side of my brain wants to give this a lower rating, but ultimately I can only judge a movie by how much I enjoyed it. And I did enjoy this one!
