As Mick "Crocodile" Dundee sits in a canoe sharpening his famous knife, a monstrous croc hides somewhere in the deep. The croc suddenly attacks, tearing Mick's boat to pieces and leaving him and mate Jacko up a tree. Life for Mick can only get easier, right? When Mick arrives at home, he discovers longtime companion Sue's newspaper-mogul father has called, and needs her help on an article at the paper's Los Angeles branch.

Here the adventure truly begins, as Mick and Jacko brave a cowboy bar where the horsemen are of a different color, and a Hollywood film party where everyone seems interested in Mick's mate Malcolm "Mal" Gibson's colorful exploits.

Phil: [confused] Like Tom Cruise...... Geez Mick, where you born in a cave?
Mick "Crocodile" Dundee: Yeah! How'd you know that?

User Reviews

THIS IS THE FUNNIEST CROCODILE DUNDEE MOVIE OF THE YEAR.

Good fun abounds in this acceptable sequal. If you take this movie too seriously then you won't enjoy it. I say enjoy this movie for what it is and not for what it isn't. Paul Hogan is cool in this, Linda K. is kind of stale in her part. Finally, the Dundee trilogy is complete and so is my life, now. Good a' mate, i found me a croc' to wrastle. 6 out of 10.
