The Film Studio Synopsis: Aussie adventurer Steve Irwin – a.k.a. The Crocodile Hunter – has avoided the death roll and nabbed another feisty croc, hoping to save it from poachers. What Steve doesn’t know is that the crocodile has innocently swallowed a top secret U.S. satellite beacon, and the poachers are actually American special agents sent to retrieve it. Crikey!
In the Outback and through the bush with his wife Terri’s ever-present commentary ringing out over the countryside (“That was a close one, Steve!”), the Crocodile Hunter is out to save the gorgeous croc and relocate him. It won’t be easy, but if he can handle bird-eating spiders and venomous snakes without getting bitten, gun-wielding agents shouldn’t be too much of a problem. It’s a little beauty!
Good: The end. Seriously. You get clips of Steve’s best cuts from his Animal Planet show during the credits.
Bad: The entire film. Who ever came up with this idea is an idiot. First because I pray that it doesn’t ruin Steve’s career on television; I’m sure it won’t. Second, the film is exactly as you’d expect the second you heard there would be a Crocodile Hunter movie. Bad. It’s not the Croc Hunter’s fault either. He did what was asked of him and he is quite funny, especially when he is on the top of his truck fighting who he thinks he is a poacher and looks at the camera and tells us its time for him to teach this guy a lesson. But those little kernels of laughs and the whole routine you see on the Animal Planet show isn’t enough. The entire plot is terrible. A gator swallows some satellite piece and the CIA is after it. Stupid.
Frankly: I watch The Croc Hunter almost religiously. So I am a fan. I’ve seen every episode and even I hated this movie. Seriously give me Croc Week and I’m satisfied, much more so than with watching Collision Course.
