Why? From the preview I saw, it looks to be a rip off of Crocodile Dundee.
As a relatively worldy Australian, I beg of you, if it does get made - please, please don’t watch it! We’ve made so many, MANY other films in the last 30 years which are simply light years superior in quality!
Boo Boo, it opens soon. Believe me, I have NO intention of watching it! I’ve seen some Aussie films (The Navigator, Mad Max, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, and some film about an expedition across the country that went horribly wrong back in the 1800s whose name escapes me at the moment.) that are by far equal to, if not better than, Hollywood’s products and I wish you guys would send more of it our way. Maybe then we could get Hollywood to turn out some decent films for a change.
What are you guys talking about? This movie is going to be GREAT!!! (and by “great”, I mean “Crappy McCrapperson” crap crap) It’s going to be great braindead fun, and everyone knows the world can definitely use more of that. I know I’m going to go see it. Of course, I’ll wait till it hits the dollar cinema, but that should only take about a week or so. But hey, they’ll still be getting my dollar, and about ten of my friends’ dollars as well.
I can’t wait!!!
And co-starring Jacko as his crazy cousin…this should be fun.
Steve Irwin (from what I heard) didn’t want to know too much about the plot or what was going to happen in the movie. Because, knowing that he is not an actor, he wanted to make sure his reactions to stuff were genuine.
Things that seem to come out of nowhere:
1)Lance Bass in Space
2)Croc hunter Movie
- Hi Opal!
4)Michael Jackson wants to go into space (fitting since he seems alien enough.)
And I thought Lance actually being thought about as an astronaught (excuse my spelling mistake) meant things couldn’t get any worse…but nooo Hollywood throws me this curveball.
Hey, come on Boo Boo Foo, fair is fair. What about all of the horrible crap that Hollywood hacks turn out? It’s only fair that your country exports embarrassing crap so that we can have our turn laughing at you.

It doesn’t work that way, medstar – us ignorant Yanks will go see Crocidile Hunter and think that’s how Australians are supposed to behave! 
I can hardy wait till the action figures come out!
Actually, I think Radio Shack had a remote-control Croc Hunter Jeep with figures/animals. Almost got one for the wife. (she likes him for some reason) I said “Almost”.
From the previews, it looks like Steve is wearing the same skin-tight shorts he wears in the TV show.
So, yes, I will be going to see this movie. 
Didn’t Bruce Willis produce this abomination?
:rolleyes:
The action figures are weird. We’ve had them in shops for a while now.
The movie looks absolutely bloody appalling but then I’m just thinking of it as our revenge for such wonders as Scoobydoo.
Just when we Yanks had finally forgotten about Yahoo Serious, and gave Paul Hogan one last bitchslap of a career killer. Now the Aussies have to contend with this blow to their national image, you have my sympathies and my solemn vow to not go see this.
Keep making films like The Dish and shows like Farscape and all is forgiven.
Now about Kylie Minogue (sp)…
I am actually looking forward to seeing this flick. Is the movie going to be “High Art”? No. Sometimes stupid humor works.
I watch the ‘Croc guy’, what ever his name is, on TV and I like the show. He obviously knows what he is talking about and cares deeply about the wild animals. At the same time he has a great sense of humor and doesn’t mind making fun of himself. The show is intertaining and I learn a bit while watching it. That, IMHO, is a damned good way to educate people.
Is the movie he is in targeted to win an Acadamy Award? No. Can the movie be intertaining and fun? Yes.
So, to those who are bitching about this movie: Get a life. Movies do not have to have a ‘bigger meaning’. Movies, like stories, can be made for the fun of it and nothing more.
Slee
It looks like it will be utterly stupid, horribly written, and completely cheesy.
I am SO there.
Incidentally, have you seen the music video? The Baha Men (of “Who Let the Dogs Out” <cough>fame<cough>) remade “Crocodile Rock”. The footage seems to indicate that the plot revolves around a hunk of technology that falls to Australian turn from some satellite. Bad Guys are chasing after it, and, for some reason, Steve-O gets involved.
Hah! Thanks guys for the moral support.
I must say I have some fun with the occasional Americans who are, how should we say - a bit gullible? When they mention The Crocodile Hunter, I often tell them “oh you should hear about all the deadly animals we dare not mention! There’s so much The Crocodile Hunter never talks about…”
And they instantly ask “Really?”
I straight-face reply with, “Yeah, for sure. Stuff like Killer Koalas for instance… man, if the secret ever gets out about THEM, our tourist industry would go down the SHUTE overnight!”
If the say “really” one more time after that, I go into such total utter bullshit mode you just have to hear it to believe it…
And yes, Medstar, you’re right. Laugh your heads off at us - we deserve it my friend!
An Australian friend of mine absolutely despises this guy. I must get her to go to this movie, preferably wearing the Crocodile Hunter t-shirt I bought her for her birthday
Not according to the IMDb.
Did you downunder denziens know we Yanks now have our own Crocodile Hunter? He’s Jeff Corwin.
