The Irwins emerge unscathed, but the fictional footage is unconvincing and criminally badly acted.

Reviews for The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course
Mr. Irwin's hammy lack of inhibition can be a little wearing; it's a good thing the snakes can't hear, or else they might get really mad. But his enthusiasm is ultimately irresistible.

Top Critic[Irwin's] a charismatic figure and genuinely funny as he takes one flop after another into the swamp.

It feels like separate movies, almost like you've switched from Animal Planet channel to a James Bond movie

Wild Kingdom was never this much fun.
07/11/02
Extremely silly but mildly enjoyable.
07/11/02
Irwin and his director never come up with an adequate reason why we should pay money for what we can get on television for free.
07/11/02
Irwin's zeal for for the beauties and oddities of his homeland is infectious. By the end of the movie, you'll probably think Irwin something of a beauty and oddity, too.

A dim-witted and lazy spin-off of the Animal Planet documentary series, Crocodile Hunter is entertainment opportunism at its most glaring.

Stay away if you can cuz this film is bodgy scribed by a boofhead!

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?

The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course exists because it's a star vehicle for Steve Irwin's antics, and either you find his caffeinated persona charming or tiresome. I think he's a hoot.
07/10/02
Chintzily made and amateurishly executed, but it will probably satisfy die-hard fans, simply because it allows Irwin to do precisely what they like.
07/09/02
No matter how firmly director John Stainton has his tongue in his cheek, the fact remains that a wacky concept does not a movie make.
07/09/02
This isn’t a good movie; this isn’t a bad movie. This is a movie that dispenses with the whole good/bad paradigm and exists on its own plane of reality.
07/09/02
Those [animal] encounters are even more entertaining/terrifying than they are at home.
