Crocodile Dundee

Good movie, I enjoy how many movies I can find from back in those days.

Husband loves this movie, so I just had to buy it for him to be able to watch anytime he wants! I love to hear him laughing at this movie! It warms my heart.

Best movie to perpetuate Australian stereotypes.

Good tongue in cheek movie

There seems to be a recipe for making great movies, and this film has all the ingredients. Adventure, action, romance, and great comedy.A modern day Tarzan, Crocodile Dundee is simply one of those movies we must see. Paul Hogan is superb as he plays the audacious and brave hero out in the wilderness of Australia. Linda Kozlowski is the reporter who sets out to surface the story of man who was attacked by a crocodile and survived to tell the story.Mick, as he is known by his friends... and he has many... has never set out foot from his environment. Invited by the reporter, he travels to New York City, where great adventure ensues.New Yorkers are not ready for someone like Crocodile Dundee, but soon, they find themselves admiring and becoming friends with this simply, kind, respectful, and courageous visitor.The end of the movie is one of the best scenes, capturing great love, and how, total strangers can become instrumental in bringing a relationship to its climax.Don't miss this movie and you will find yourself saying... "That is not a knife... this is a knife!"

Some remember Paul Hogan's introduction to the American public through his cheeky commercials for the Australian Tourist Bureau. A few remember he parlayed the success from this movie into a co-hosting gig at the Oscars as well as snagging a nomination for co-scripting "Crocodile Dundee". It's been twenty-odd years since I last saw this flick but it's just as good as ever. Hogan projects an affable ruggedness that belies a certain toughness and a little bit of innocence. Linda Kozlowski is just as appealing as the urbane reporter who brings Michael J. Dundee from the bush to the Big Apple. The film is split into two parts, an Outback adventure and a fish-out-of-water comedy. Both parts work equally fine and perfectly compliment each other. Two scenes stick out for me here. Firstly, the scene where Dundee answers a switchblade wielding thug with a massive Bowie knife. Secondly, the scene where he shyly asks two ladies of the evening if they want to go to a movie. I think the reason this film worked so well in 1986, where I saw it on a double-bill with "Armed and Dangerous", is that it was the antithesis of the cynicism of "Rambo". The reason the film works today is that good movies are timeless.

Like the movie and glad I was able to get it for free
