    Storyline

    • 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

      Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee: Well, you see, Aborigines don't own the land.They belong to it. It's like their mother. See those rocks? Been standing there for 600 million years. Still be there when you and I are gone. So arguing over who owns them is like two fleas arguing over who owns the dog they live on.

    • 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.

    More popular than I thought
    When I first heard the title "Crocodile Dundee" I thought it was about Steve Irwin. Well, he did get his own movie eventually, I believe. This movie is a really relaxing one. That might not be the biggest compliment. The story's pretty simple, with a woman going to Australia to find the legendary Crocodile Dundee and then him going back with her to New York City. What's so cute is that half of this movie takes place in Australia and the other half in the United States.

    I just thought this was a very organized and subtle way to handle the story. It helps that the Crocodile Dundee is so likeable. I admit it could have been funnier and it does get clichéd at the end. Still, it's a very pleasant little film. I'm surprised it only has a 6.5 here. RottenTomatoes is much more accurate with its 87% rating. ***
