Irwin made several other movies with conservationist themes, enlivened by his bubbly Larrikin personality and his [[Catch Phrase]], "Crikey!", and he soon became perhaps the world's most visible and charismatic spokesman for the environment, filling a role left empty by the death of [[Jacques Cousteau]]. Irwin even produced and starred in [[The Movie]] of his TV show, ''Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course'', in which a crocodile accidentally swallows a top-secret government satellite that falls to earth, and Irwin and his wife Terri are unwittingly caught in the middle as they try to film their TV show.
Despite all the crocodile antics, they were not the ones to kill him. [[Author Existence Failure|Irwin died in a freak accident with a stingray while diving]]. He was mourned worldwide. And, in a stunning case of general oddity, many Aussies went on [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge|stingray-butchering rampages]] in the name of one of the most famous animal lovers in history. [[What the Hell, Hero?|They were called out on this]], as people said that that's not what Steve Irwin would have wanted. Perhaps even more bizarrely (though far less disturbingly), Philadelphia Phillies fans used Irwin as a rallying cry during their successful 2008 World Series run against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Irwin's legacy lives on in the family he leaves behind: his wife Terri, who often served as his sidekick on ''Crocodile Hunter'', their son Robert and their daughter Bindi, who continues her father's work in the capacity of a "junior animal activist." Bindi recently starred in the [[Direct to Video]] film ''[[Free Willy]]: Escape From Pirate's Cove''.

* [[Admiring the Abomination]]: He never let down his guard around very dangerous animals, but he also seemed to be gleeful when he saw or handled them.
* [[Author Existence Failure]]: RIP Steve.
