Goofs

When the frequently-food-stuffing Aborigine asks his pal in his native tongue if it's okay for him to use the captives as part of his next meal, the pal answers him in English. When conversing with each other, Natives usually would speak their own language if it was unnecessary for any English-speaking bystanders to know what they were saying. However, in this case the conversation is clearly staged to intimidate the captives.

Good Sequel

Paul Hogan is back as Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee and he still living in New York with his gorgeous girlfriend (Linda Kozlowski) and he's still having a little trouble adapting. That is until they become the target of some drug lords and Mick decides to lead them back to the Austrailian Outback to even up the chances a little.

OK Crocodile Dundee II is not as fresh or as funny as the first film, but it still has plenty of laughs, plenty of action and once again some beautiful scenery.

Its a good sequel to a great film

6/10
