Don't confuse him with Paul Hogan, no, that's Crocodile Dundee. Steve Irwin aka 'The Crocodile Hunter' is the real deal and he's taking his hit show to the big screen. If you think he's putting any of that money in his pocket you need to think again...that's just 'CRIKEY!'

Steve and his wife Terri, lifelong naturalists, star in The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course. This part-fiction, part-documentary comedy is their way to introduce the conservation message to movie-goers everywhere.

The couple are not only among the highest-paid entertainers in Australia, earning nearly $9 million a year, they also own the Australian Zoo in Queensland. In an effort to protect and preserve the natural wildlife habitats, they will donate all the proceeds from Collision Course to forward the preservation cause.
