FILM NOTES
Released in 2002 by MGM, The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course brought Steve Irwin's television persona to the big screen, blending his Animal Planet documentary style with a fictional chase plot involving a wayward crocodile and bumbling CIA operatives. It capitalized on Irwin's global popularity as a wildlife entertainer, marking one of the few theatrical vehicles built around a nonfiction television star. The film served as both an introduction to newcomers and a feature-length love letter to fans of the Crocodile Hunter series, cementing Irwin's crossover appeal at the height of his fame.
This 35mm cell carries Steve Irwin himself, the figure whose name and persona anchored the entire production. As the film's central draw, any frame bearing his likeness holds particular value for collectors of wildlife television history and early 2000s pop culture ephemera. Because Irwin's public image was inseparable from enthusiasm and hands-on engagement with animals, a cell under his name naturally aligns with that spirit. Whether drawn from a promotional reel, title sequence, or narrative footage, this piece represents a physical fragment of the man's singular cinematic legacy.
