Trivia

The abandoned lower level of the BMT Ninth Ave. station in Brooklyn was used for the subway scene near the end of the film. The route information signs were correct for service at 59th St.-Columbus Circle; however, double letter route markings had been dropped by the time the movie was released. The AA marking, for instance, had become the K. See more »

Goofs

After Mick leaves the dinner party at which Richard proposes, he asks Gus (the limo driver) to take him back to the hotel "by way of a liquor store". The term "liquor store" is virtually unknown in Australia; they refer to them as "Bottle Shops" (or "Bottle-Os"). He could have picked up the American term during his time in New York. See more »

A gem from the Eighties.
9 August 2002 | by See all my reviews

Paul Hogan's original tailor-made 'fish out of water' flick became a massive hit in 1986 and still remains a warm, amusing and irresistibly enjoyable. In terms of plot, its simpler than simple - American reporter Linda Kozlowski is sent to Australia to investigate the legendary 'Crocodile' Dundee (Hogan) and ends up bringing the charming rogue back to the Big Apple. It's a winner in every sense from Hogan's wonderfully laid-back performance to his own screenplay, featuring an array of classic quips and moments. Peter Best's excellent musical score also deserves applause in helping to ensure that this film remains great, exciting and still novel entertainment almost two decades on.
