Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThere were no scripts used in the "documentary" portions of this movie, whatever Steve Irwin and Terri Irwin said was off the top of their heads. All stunts were performed, just like on The Crocodile Hunter (1996), by Steve himself.
- GoofsWhen the CIA Agent is being dragged by Steve Irwin and Terri Irwin's truck during one shot you can see the edge of the hidden board upon which the stunt man is actually riding on.
- Quotes
Steve Irwin: G'day! I'm Steve Irwin! You might know me as the Crocodile Hunter! Have a look at this little beauty, will ya?
[appears at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios logo]
Steve Irwin: This is an African lion! Oh, I'm in no danger, he's become a Hollywood lion! He's been sitting in this MGM logo for 77 years! Tough job, mate. Of course, in my new movie, The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course, we make this bloke look like a real pussycat! Yeah, the lion may be the apex predator in Africa, but in Australia, crocs rule! Everything about Collision Course is big, REAL BIG! But there's one big problem...
[to the Lion]
Steve Irwin: It's you, mate! He's too tame! Come on, get out of there ya little devil!
[a crocodile now appears in the MGM logo]
Steve Irwin: Crikey! Now that's more like it! Steady, mate, steady...
- Crazy creditsThere is a statement in the closing credits: "Aside from Steve Irwin and Terri Irwin, any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual entities, is purely coincidental."
- Alternate versionsThe UK version is cut by 5 seconds to remove two uses of the word 'wanker', in order to secure a a PG certificate. (The trailer was cut by 1 second, removing a shot of a crocodile leaping at the camera with its jaws apart, and thus securing a U certificate. An uncut PG certificate was available to the distributor.)

The story - such as it is - revolves around some sort of U.S. satellite equipment that somehow finds it way to Australia after surviving its drop to earth from orbit, and is promptly swallowed by a monstrously large crocodile. Irwin sets out to find the crocodile and move it to safer territory, believing that it's being stalked not by CIA agents trying to get this thing back, but by poachers.
Forget the story. It's secondary - and, to be blunt, not that great. Basically, this movie serves as an ad for Irwin's "The Crocodile Hunter" TV series, and most of it is shot as if he were taping the show, as he fights crocs and plays with various and sundry poisonous and dangerous animals in his usual animated way. You have to give the guy credit - he's got his part down pat!
There's a simple way of knowing whether you'll like this movie or not. If you like "The Crocodile Hunter" you'll like the movie. If you don't, you won't. See how simple that is! I like "The Crocodile Hunter" and I think Irwin is quite hilarious. Strangely, though, for all the fun and laughs involved here the movie seemed to go on longer than its allotted 90 minutes. Perhaps Irwin is better in half hour segments. After that he may begin to get a bit overwhelming.
But it is fun. I'd give it a 7/10, knowing full well that this movie will get its share of bashers as well.
