Crikey! Following a brief cameo in
Dr. Dolittle 2 (2001), hyperactive, high-energy cable television star and native Australian naturalist
Steve Irwin parlays his success as a confronter of all things scaly, fanged, and venomous into this feature-film adventure.
Irwin and his wife
Terri Irwin play themselves as animal activists who rescue an endangered crocodile, not realizing that the critter has swallowed a downed top-secret satellite beacon that's the subject of an intense search by CIA personnel. Believing that the spies are poachers out to steal the animal's precious hide, the Irwins evade their pursuers while attempting to get the crocodile to safety in a remote area of the Outback, adopting an orphaned joey (a baby kangaroo), and grappling with bird-eating spiders and poisonous snakes along the way. In the meantime, the secret agents mistakenly believe the Irwins are enemy operatives trying to steal their highly valuable technology. The real-life Irwins donated all of their fees from
The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course (2002) to wildlife conservation efforts.
