    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The Sydney Harbour Bridge is shown in the beginning of the movie from the hotel window while Sue is on the phone to New York. Paul Hogan helped paint this bridge before he started his life as an actor and was said to have kept his co-workers laughing a good bit of the time.
    • Goofs
      When Sue goes down to the water to fill her canteen, the reptile that lunges forward is not a crocodile, but a large American alligator, it's evident by the roundness in the snout and the placement of the teeth when its mouth is closed.
    • Quotes

      Teenage Mugger: [Dundee and Sue are approached by a black youth stepping out from the shadows, followed by some others] You got a light, buddy?

      Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: Yeah, sure kid.

      [reaches for lighter]

      Teenage Mugger: [flicks open switchblade] And your wallet!

      Sue Charlton: [guardedly] Mick, give him your wallet.

      Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: [amused] What for?

      Sue Charlton: [cautiously] He's got a knife.

      Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: [chuckles] That's not a knife.

      [he pulls out a large bowie knife]

      Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: THAT's a knife.

      [Dundee slashes the teen mugger's jacket and maintains eyeball to eyeball stare]

      Teenage Mugger: Shit!

      [he and his friends run off]

      Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: [to Sue] Just kids having fun. You all right?

      Sue Charlton: [relieved] I'm always all right when I'm with you, Dundee. God, that sounds corny. Why do always make me feel like Jane in a Tarzan comic?

    • Crazy credits
      The end credits has the cast listed separately, listing the actors from Australia and the actors from New York City.
    • Alternate versions
      The UK theatrical version was uncut though video releases were edited by 23 seconds for a '15' certificate by the BBFC to remove shots of a man snorting cocaine and Sue's referral to the drug as "a buzz" during the party scene. These cuts were waived in 2002. However all UK releases feature the US print which replaces 'stickybeak' with 'busybody' and overdubs one of the pimp's 2 uses of 'fuck' (replaced with 'screw') which were made to secure the film a US PG-13 certificate.

    7/10
    Damn good fun
    Paul Hogan bring the character of Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee to life. Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) is a beautiful reporter from New York on a quest into the Austrailian Outback in search of a story, but she gets way more than she thought when she meets 'Crocodile' Dundee in the flesh.

    The scenes in the outback are my favourite, a great blend of action and comedy, with some simply beautiful cinematic views thrown in; but the film does get funnier once they head back to New York. His naivety in the big city opens the door for lots more comedy moments.

    Overall it's a really good comedy 7/10
