Crocodile Dundee Trailers

When a New York reporter plucks crocodile hunter Mick Dundee from the Australian Outback for a visit to the Big Apple, it's a clash of cultures and a recipe for good-natured comedy as naïve Dundee negotiates the concrete jungle. He proves that his instincts are quite useful in the city and adeptly handles everything from wily muggers to high-society snoots without breaking a sweat.

Reviews
SteinMo What a freaking movie. So many twists and turns. Absolutely intense from start to finish.
Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.
Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
WLSleddy When you think of memorable 1980's comedies, this one that might come to mind to mind. Revolving around a very colorful, witty and worry-free Australian crocodile poacher(Paul Hogan), it is a feel-good movie filled with many laughs and and witty one-liners.It offers many laughs in the way of culture shock to both the reporter and Dundee himself. Giving not only a glimpse at culture in the outback, but also in bustling Manhattan. Dundee's innocence of adapting to the fast lifestyle of New York is a formula for laughter.Paul Hogan plays a highly likable character, playing off of Linda Kozlowski perfectly, their chemistry is a major contributor to the overall success of this movie. It is filled with scenes of action and comedy, framed into a film that will make you laugh and feel good.7/10
adonis98-743-186503 An American reporter goes to the Australian outback to meet an eccentric crocodile poacher and invites him to New York City. Crocodile Dundee mostly works thanks to a very nice performance by Paul Hogan who seems like he is having fun with the role since he came back twice after this one in 1988 and 2001. The movie is smart, the characters are likable, the acting is really good and it's not one of those typical 1986 boring films this really surprised the hell out of me i laughed out loud a lot of times but Michael J. 'Crocodile' Dundee is also a great character that you can stand by and Linda Kozlowski who plays Sue in the movie is drop dead gorgeous i really want to see the other 2 movies really bad right now because this one definitely gets a 10 out of 10.
westside-surfer Last night I picked another gem from my past, Crocodile DunDee, which released 1986. I remember watching this movie with mom. She absolutely loved DunDee and his rough and straightforward perspective on life. Now that I watch it years later, I see many similarities between Dundee and Mexican immigrant perspective.Both perspectives cut the bullshit* and adopt a nihilistic sense of humor. Dundee was very happy in his homeland and left for USA, a strange place where his customs seemed just as alien to everyone else. In the movie's conclusion, as opposed to real life, the Americans embrace the well-meaning, friendly foreigner and take on some of his customs, such as greeting him by saying "G'day!"Furthermore, the villain Richard (albeit a light villain) is presented as the a-hole not because he is DunDee's romantic rival, but because he openly mocks and belittles DunDee for being a foreigner and being unacquainted with western culture.DunDee functions as the immigrant's fantasy existence, being accepted in America while retaining his cultural roots.
Fluke_Skywalker 'Crocodile Dundee' certainly trades on (and likely created a few of its own) cultural stereotypes--American and Australia--and it commits a whole host of PC infractions that aren't likely to sit to well with a 21st century viewer, but really there isn't a malicious or hateful bone in its entire body.There's really not enough story here to fill even its scant 97 minute runtime, but 'Crocodile Dundee' skates by on the genial charm of star Paul Hogan and the amazing legs of his beautiful co-star Linda Kozlowski.And even though it's 80s cheesy, it's got a GREAT ending.
