$19.98
NTSC/Region 0. This DVD takes an intimate look at the life of Steve Irwin: husband, father, friend, icon, and conservationist - through the eyes of those who knew him best. Terri Irwin along with Steve's family and friends share personal stories about the incredible man the world came to know and love as the Croc Hunter. In never before seen interviews Steve Irwin himself describes who he is, his legacy, his love of family and his conservation message, perfectly capturing the international personality in his own words. The archived Steve Irwin interviews, found during the making of the tribute special, were taped six or seven years ago. Through exhilarating adventure moments and previously unseen footage, Crikey! What An Adventure recognizes, celebrates and honors Steve's passion and enthusiasm for spreading the importance of wildlife conservation. His untimely and tragic death put our world in a state of shock and mourning. Steve touched so many lives, adults and children alike, and his impact on conservation efforts worldwide will last for years to come. EMI

The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course: 5/10: Okay first lets forget the movie for a minute. I mean the film is okay if you like the Crocodile Hunter and you have no business seeing it if you don't. The DVD extras however are brilliant.

For example they show, over years mind you, Steve Irwin and his misses Terri training their star crocodiles to attack a boat without eating the cast. Needless to say the training doesn't really work.

So we have wonderful footage of a barely mobile Steve complete with a knee bandage almost being chomped by a couple of over sized crocs that are some naughty shielas indeed. Now all lot of this footage makes the movie proper gussied up for whatever plot point is at hand. But it is the raw footage that shows how no CGI or mechanical crocs were used. It also covers the endless training to get the crocs used to the sets and cameras.

The crocs successfully, after a while, do ignore the cameras and lights but never their chief tormentor Steve. The crocs act all calm then as soon as action is shouted they go for Steve's jugular like they were starring in a Faces of Death video. The amount of work involved for such a relatively lightweight film is rather awe inspiring.

The film itself is rather simple. Steve and his wife find various Australian wildlife each more deadly than the last. Wildlife tries to kill Steve. Steve yells crikey. There is also an easily ignorable plot about the CIA or something that makes Kangaroo Jack look like a Charlie Kaufman film.

And a warning to impressionable baby boomers, there is a desecration of Elton John's Crocodile Rock by the Baha Men. The DVD even includes a horrible video of same in case you capture some terrorists and need them to talk quick.

One last note. For no discernible reason the aspect ratio changes when Steve is on screen and when Steve is off screen. So if you're like me and A: You weren't paying enough attention before the film. B: You have a wide screen television. C: Your remote is an all in one affair that could land a Space Shuttle and has become a sentient being. Well needless to say according to witnesses my attempts to "correct" this were pretty funny to watch.
