Not a patch on the first, but OK

I absolutely loved the original Crocodile Dundee, I would rank it as one of the best comedy films of the 80's. I remember being excited to hear of a sequel, spending more time with Mick Dundee was an exciting prospect. I think I actually quite enjoyed this the first time I seen it, but even then I knew something wasn't quite right. Actually watching it now the first thing that strikes me about Crocodile Dundee II is that while the first one was a Romantic Comedy, in the sequel there is almost no romance, fair enough because Mick and Sue are together now, but there is nowhere near enough comedy. Its basically an adventure movie and is pretty good taken as such. I just wish they could have got a little more comedy in there too. I recently watched Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and that film had more laughs than this one, and that film is more of an action adventure than a comedy. I think the problem may have lied with the fact that Paul Hogan had years to prepare for Crocodile Dundee and this one was rushed into Cinemas to make a quick buck.
