Summary
RATING: PG for action violence/peril and mild language
Starring Steve Irwin, Terri Irwin, Magda Szubanski, David Wenham, Lachy Hulme, Steve Bastoni, Kate Beahan, and Bindi Sue Irwin
Aussie adventurer Steve Irwin - a.k.a. "The Crocodile Hunter" - has nabbed another feisty croc, hoping to save it from poachers. What he doesn't know is that the croc has innocently swallowed a top secret U.S. satellite beacon, and the poachers are actually American special agents sent to retreive it!

Entertainment Weekly Lisa Schwarzbaum
The mad genius of this cheerily bonkers feature is the integration of a documentary-style safari into an outlandish fiction involving a fancy-pants CIA pursuit of a downed spy satellite, and a shotgun-wielding outback widow.
Read Full Review >Washington Post Desson Thomson
When I say this movie's a charm, I'm really talking about Irwin.
Read Full Review >Los Angeles Times John Anderson
So refreshing and funny and, in its way, sophisticated.
Read Full Review >Chicago Sun-Times Roger Ebert
Forget the plot. The movie is really about Steve and Terri taking us on a guided tour of the crocs, snakes, deadly insects and other stars of the outback fauna. Steve's act is simplicity itself.
Read Full Review >LA Weekly Gendy Alimurung
Thankfully, the film, which skirts that rapidly deteriorating line between fantasy and reality -- Irwin as "himself" as croc expert as suspected international spy -- takes a tongue-in-cheek attitude even as it pushes the Croc Hunter agenda: Mother Nature? Dont muck with her.
Read Full Review >The New York Times Dana Stevens
A curiously thrilling and often hilarious experience.
Read Full Review >Chicago Reader Hank Sartin
Kids used to watching him on TV might find it all perfectly normal, but for adults it's almost an acid trip.
Read Full Review >Miami Herald Connie Ogle
It's a lot more entertaining than box office success "Scooby-Doo" and more honest, too. When Irwin plays out a scene with a reptilian, you can be sure the croc is not computer-generated.
Read Full Review >New York Post Megan Lehmann
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.
Read Full Review >Boston Globe Christy Lemire
The downtimes are so flat that it makes you wonder whether director John Stainton and writer Holly Goldberg Sloan made them intentionally bad, just so we'd look forward to seeing Irwin again.
Read Full Review >New York Daily News Jami Bernard
It is not a great ad-vain-cha, and it's a lousy movie. But it underscores Irwin's kitschy popularity as a sideshow entertainer on the Animal Planet channel, where he cheerfully wrestles or rescues all manner of Aussie wildlife while telling the camera what great danger he is in.
Chicago Tribune Robert K. Elder
Oscillates between pragmatist genius and B-movie mediocrity.
Read Full Review >TV Guide Maitland McDonagh
The film's wittiest moment comes before it starts: the familiar MGM lion is replaced by a roaring crocodile when the studio's logo appears.
Read Full Review >USA Today Mike Clark
Though Walt Disney's Peter Pan once implored us never to smile at a crocodile, the Irwins' own home movie is worth a couple of chuckles. Shivers, too.
Read Full Review >San Francisco Chronicle Edward Guthmann
Has a weirdly divided structure that alternates Irwin's nature segments with clumsy dramatic footage set in the CIA.
Read Full Review >Seattle Post-Intelligencer Sean Axmaker
If Irwin is your bag, then this is your film. Otherwise, Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course is dumb, mate. Real dumb.
Read Full Review >The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Liam Lacey
The question is, is the interspecies wrestling match really worth the ineptly acted spy antics, the big flatulence jokes and Steve-o's endless grandstanding? Not without a handy remote control with a mute button, it isn't.
Read Full Review >New Times (L.A.) Luke Y. Thompson
The next time Irwin wants to make a feature, however, he should find a director who knows how.
The Onion (A.V. Club) Nathan Rabin
The pleasure to be derived from watching a loopy Australian risk life and limb is not to be dismissed or underrated, but Collision Course proves that that guilty pleasure, no matter how potent, just isn't a solid basis for a film.
Read Full Review >Austin Chronicle Steve Davis
Nothing more than an extended version of the syndicated television program, with the unkempt Irwin spending most of the movie excitedly shouting at the camera as he taunts something venomous.
Read Full Review >Film Threat Eric Campos
Crikey, what a croc o shit! But hey, at least the title of this film lets you know exactly where it's heading. So as painful as this movie is to watch, if you willingly buy a ticket, youre only doing it to yourself.
Read Full Review >Rolling Stone Peter Travers
If you have to ask why this sucks, you deserve to waste your money. Why not also check out "Like Mike," "Juwanna Man" and "Hey Arnold! The Movie"?

Katie G. gave it a 10:
This is the best movie that I've seen in a long time. All of my friends have seen the movie and my friend Kayla rated it a 20, and Nya gave it a 110 (if you could rate it that far. Plus (to me and my friends) The Croc Hunter is the most awsome man alive!!!
Peter H. gave it a 10:
My, how the critics got this one wrong. How deep "Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course" is. After watching it, I feel my soul being lifted, opened up to new ideas. One of the greatest movie-watching privileges of my life. Essentially an allegory about global tensions. "Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course," while unquestionably the BP of the year, is quite possibly the best film yet made.
G'Day Mate gave it a 10:
Oh my god!!! i am soooooooooooo in love with steve irwin he is just so damn hot!!! too bad hes got a wife or else he would be mine=) steve, oh steve, where art thou steve???
Eric S. gave it a 7:
Essentially the same as the television show on the big screen. The TV show is good, and so is the movie.
Love J. gave it a 6:
The plot and acting is weak. The actors reminded me of American actors in movies from Hong Kong. But Steve Irwin and his wife save the movie because of their real-life adventures featuring snakes, crocodiles, and spiders. See the matinee.
