I'm glad I waited for this movie to come out on DVD because I don't think I would have appreciated it without seeing the behind-the-scenes stuff. Steve and Teri Irwin are fantastic. They are funny, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and truly care about ecology and conservation. But they're not actors; and they know this. My advice to the reluctant renter is this: get the DVD, watch the movie and try not to pay too much attention to the CIA plot. The real fun is watching Steve and Teri "muck it up" with all sorts of deadly creatures. And what makes this even better is that all of the animals are real and it's all Steve and Teri doing the stunts. After the movie, make sure to watch all of the behind the scenes extras. Like how Steve and his long time zoo colleague Wes organized and rehearsed the King Brown snake scene. And how they trained the crocs to attack Steve on cue. There's one take that actually made me jump in my chair, just knowing the real danger that Steve and Wes had to face to get a short scene in. I won't say which one, you'll have to watch them all.
