Brief introduction of the movie crocodile hunter.

Steve irwin, a famous Australian crocodile catcher, has always been called a madman by the outside world, not only because he ventured close to the fierce man-eating crocodile for many times, but also because he played a game of feeding crocodiles in the zoo with his son just full moon in his arms in June+10 this year. This man inherited his father's stunt of hunting crocodiles, and personally starred in a film called Crocodile Hunter: A Journey of Passion, which made him famous all over the world and is expected to be named "Australia's Man of the Year" in 2004.

At the beginning of this year, Owen began to shoot a documentary about Antarctic wildlife, which was criticized by animal protectionists. On July 15, Australian Prime Minister Howard made a public speech, saying that Owen did not violate the wildlife protection law. The environmental protection department also approved his filming in Antarctica, which means that Owen has obtained a legal "license" to dance with crocodiles.

This newspaper comprehensively reported that at the beginning of this year, after Owen's shooting of whales, seals and penguins in the Antarctic was exposed, some wildlife conservationists began to attack Owen, saying that Owen was too close to these wild animals and had caused serious harm to these wild animals, accusing him of violating the Australian wildlife protection law.

Do you dance with crocodiles to be famous?

Although Owen's action caused great controversy in Australia, Australian Prime Minister Howard said in an interview with Sky TV on June 5438+05: "After many detailed investigations, Australian officials concluded that Owen's filming activities in Antarctica did not violate the Australian Wildlife Protection Law."

It is reported that Owen's documentary filmed in Antarctica at the beginning of this year immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of many environmentalists in the United States and Australia, because these documentaries showed Owen wrestling with crocodiles and fighting with hungry snakes. Environmentalists in Australia and the United States say that Owen has only one purpose in doing so, that is, fishing for fame.

Faced with accusations from environmentalists, Owen argued that his filming activities in Antarctica did not destroy the wildlife there. Owen also pointed out that the Australian environmental protection department approved him to continue filming in Antarctica after checking his film.

According to reports, Australia's wildlife protection law stipulates that anyone in Antarctica should keep a distance of more than 5 meters from seals and penguins.

He inherited his father's business and was keen on catching crocodiles.

Steve irwin is the director of the Australian Zoo in Queensland, Australia. As the son of natural scientist Bob Lynn Irwin, when many children of the same age are limited to feeding cats and dogs, he plays with crocodiles and poisonous snakes with his father in his wild zoo.

When steve irwin was 9 years old, his father began to teach him how to jump into rivers in Queensland to catch crocodiles. Now, anyone who has seen him catch crocodiles will be surprised by his stunts.

Slowly, Owen followed in his father's footsteps and became a wildlife expert, especially reptiles. The achievements of Steve and his son in the zoo are very rich. Most of the 150 crocodiles they raised were caught by them and lived here all their lives.

But Owen is not without danger in Dancing with Crocodiles. 200 1 1 Owen almost became delicious in the mouth of crocodiles, and the leg bitten by crocodiles was stitched 12 stitches. Owen was bitten by a female crocodile 13 years old. The crocodile was 2 meters long and weighed 80 kilograms. At that time, Owen was trying to move crocodiles from one enclosure to another in the zoo. Just as he hoisted the crocodile with a rope and handed it to other zoo staff, the crocodile suddenly swung violently and embedded its teeth in Owen's leg.

199 1, Owen is going to shoot a documentary about wildlife. Crocodile Catcher, which is highly praised in Australia, has more than 50 episodes since 1992, and is currently being broadcasted in more than 30 countries and regions around the world. Coupled with the grand broadcast of another crocodile file series on Australian cable TV network, it ushered in a wide reputation for him. All these honors came from the day of 1992, when he met his life partner Terry Rui En in his park.

American beauty falls in love with crocodile catcher

Terry Rui En was born in Oregon, USA. Her father is a construction businessman. He often takes injured animals home for nursing, thus sowing the seeds of caring for wild animals in Rui En's young mind. She often takes care of all kinds of injured animals after work, and has also fed 15 kittens, a few birds and a dog for a long time. Being so busy, she naturally can't help looking for the so-called other half, so her lifelong event is in the foreseeable future.

Rui En accidentally learned that there is a famous wild zoo in Australia. Out of curiosity about this wildlife park, she went to Australia to have a look alone.

Fate is often so magical: Rui En met the director steve irwin unexpectedly in the Australian Wildlife Park. When their eyes met, their lives changed greatly. After four months of close contact, the two got married.

Since then, Rui En has given up his life in the United States and his family's construction business in the United States, and started working with Owen at the Australian Wildlife Park. After they got married, they also began to shoot their wildlife documentaries. Now they have a son. Owen and his wife both said that their son should also be trained as an "excellent hunter" to catch crocodiles.

The play "feeds" the son to the crocodile.

Of course, Owen's stunts are sometimes criticized by others, and some even take him to court.

6543813 October, Owen was invited to the animal training ground of Queensland Zoo to participate in the filming of the cable TV program Crocodile Catcher. Under the eyes of the public, Owen suddenly came to the venue with his son who had just turned full moon, and made all kinds of thrilling actions for photographers to capture the lens.

In the screams of the audience, I saw Owen holding his son in one hand and holding a dead chicken in the other, feeding it to a crocodile nearly 4 meters long and opening its mouth. It is conceivable that if Owen is not careful, his poor son will soon become a delicacy in the mouth of a crocodile!

Although the child was scared to cry, Owen was indifferent. He smiled and shouted to the audience, "My Bob is full moon. This is his first crocodile performance!" " When the crocodile bit his prey, Owen turned to the child and said, "You are a good boy, Bob!" " "At this time, the audience was boiling. Owen's wife, Rui En, was also amused by her husband's "creative" behavior. In an interview with reporters, she said that this is definitely a "wonderful and exciting experience" for children.

But most viewers don't agree with this. On the same day, the two TV media in charge of broadcasting this program were almost overwhelmed by the complaints of the people. Some family organizations said angrily that Owen's behavior was no different from child abuse. Some people simply call him a "fucking idiot".

Shoot "crocodile hunter"

After the series "Crocodile Catcher" was broadcast, steve irwin's unique performance talent and his crocodile catching skills attracted worldwide attention and were also favored by MGM.

In 2002, the film Crocodile Hunter: A Journey of Passion, produced by MGM and starring steve irwin, was released. In the film, Owen once again showed the audience his "stunt" in catching crocodiles. In the film, his wife Terry Rui En also gave a wonderful performance.

The hero's name in this movie is steve irwin's real name. The film tells the story of Irwin, a legendary wildlife protector in Australia, who struggled tirelessly for his own career and struggled tenaciously against poachers physically and mentally. This time, he found some "poachers" hunting a wild crocodile. He set out bravely with a sense of justice, but he didn't know that these poachers had amazing origins: they were secret detectives sent by the American government, and the purpose of this trip was for a precious electronic chip. The poor and innocent crocodile swallowed it by mistake, which led to this fatal disaster. As a result, a competition with different purposes was held in the mysterious wild area of Australia, which also showed us a beautiful but dangerous Australian style. ...

During the filming, while Steve and his wife were driving a truck, a poisonous spider climbed onto Rui En. It is said that this spider is extremely toxic and can kill people with one bite. Rui En's life was separated by that thin layer of clothes. However, thanks to his knowledge of the country's customs, Ecuador safely resolved the crisis.
