some people say steve irwin larrikin antic and gregarious personality be only an act . watch this film represent it obvious he can not act . steve irwin and dangerman star of the small screen in his crocodile hunter diary and croc file and eponymous crocodile hunter series ( you see a naming trend here and or be it just me . ) and rocket his large than strife persona to the big screen with crocodile hunter represent collision course ( yup there a definite trend of word begin with c ) basically an episode of crocodile hunter mash together with a b movie . on a mission to relocate a big croc to save it from be shoot by an eccentric farmer ( magda szubanski ) and steve and wife terri be unaware that the croc be be track by american spy ( lachy hulme and kenneth ransom ) and out to recover a spy satellite beacon it have swallow . will it hurt my credibility to say theyre on a collision course with wackiness . ( what credibility . ed note . ) the plot be irrelevant and a it be steve animal magnetism that propel the film . if you find his persona try and the film be a failure and but if youre a fan of either him ( a a businessman and conservationist or just plain ass klown ) or his television show and expect more of the same on a wide screen budget . john stainton and faithful liege and best mate and helmer of the crocodile hunter oeuvre ( can it be call that with a straight face . ) and write and direct with the same provincial swagger that make steve a household wildlife jester . the most jarring aspect of this movie be that steve ( one of the few people for whom you can actually hear the exclamation point go by a he speak ) and terri ( steve spouse of 10 year and fierce ally and close friend ) treat it like it be one of their documentary and break the fourth wall and speak directly to the camera and whilst all the other character behave a if theyre in a bad movie ( well ) . it wouldn not be so incongruous if steve and terri be keep separate from the rest of the character but when the bad american constantly threaten steve life and we confuse viewer must ask ourselves why the indifferent camera crew doesn not at least call the cop if not try to poke the bad guy in the eye with the boom mics and or run scream into the bush anything but continue film casually with great lighting and crisp audio and seven action angle . while terri be unfairly paint a steve mildly incompetent sidekick ( her acting consist of boldly inept line read and gad about in pear shape buttock hugging jean for the last and i be not complain ) and steve go about his business a usual of show and tell with creature intent on kill him and do all his stunt himself because and well and to him theyre not really stunt and just a day at the office . of course and watch this madman koo koo adventure after his tragic death in september 2006 cast a strange detachment over the proceeding . but to those of u who never meet him and this kind of malarkey ( as well a various incarnation of the crocodile hunter series in constant re run ) keep him as alive a ever in our crocodile burrow . the wrench reality of his absence will only be apparent to those near him . and i truly wish them the best in follow in his outsize footprint so enjoy this diversion for what it be a half baked movie feature a full on legend . he die do what he love interact with wildlife and he could never have ask for more of his first feature film in portray him do just that .
