FILM NOTES

Released in 2002, The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course brought Steve Irwin's television persona to the big screen at the height of his global fame. Blending scripted comedy with the wildlife documentary style that made his show a phenomenon, the film captured a moment when Irwin's boundless enthusiasm for animals had turned him into an international ambassador for conservation. For many viewers, it remains a warm reminder of a naturalist whose energy was genuinely infectious.

This film cell preserves a frame featuring Steve Irwin alongside a perentie, Australia's largest monitor lizard and a fitting subject for his passion. Holding a physical piece of the film offers a tangible connection to that legacy.
