The scene in the subway near the end of the film, in which the characters reach each other by being carried over the heads of the people in the crowd, may have been included to evoke an image of Australian sheepdogs, which sometimes climb on the backs of the herd to travel quickly from one side to the other.

Goofs
Mick enters the subway at the 59th Street-Columbus Circle Station but the wall tiles feature the number 9, since the scene was filmed at the 9th Avenue station on the BMT Culver Line. See more »

Crocodile Dundee is a great comedy from 1986 which can be enjoyed after repeat viewings. Over the years I've heard a lot of criticism of this film and I cannot understand it. If you don't like this film, then something must be wrong.
It's great to see the tough but naive Crocodile Dundee-played excellently by Paul Hogan-come to New York and after a sequence of events meet up with journalist Sue Charlton played by Linda Koslowski. Koslowski and Hogan made a great team in this film.
Like all comedies I won't spoil the scenes for anyone who hasn't seen the film but there are some great scenes particularly one where two youngsters try to mug Dundee with a knife. You'll laugh at what happens next.
All in all, a great comedy. Ignore any criticism you've heard of this film and enjoy a great film.
