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 loose action-comedy plot involving a wayward crocodile and bumbling spies. It was a modest theatrical release, notable chiefly as a showcase for Irwin's larger-than-life enthusiasm and his genuine rapport with wildlife, translating his signature energy from the small screen into a feature format for international audiences.
This cell preserves a frame of Steve Irwin himself, the figure whose real-life persona anchors the entire production. Collectors seek him out because he is the film's true subject, the reason the movie exists at all, more than any scripted character. A cell bearing his name captures the presence of the man rather than a moment of plot, making it a piece of documentary-adjacent memorabilia as much as film history. Such a frame, drawn from 35mm printed stock, stands as a tangible artifact of his screen legacy, a single still from the reel that carried his voice and manner into cinemas.
