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.

Like its star Paul Hogan this film was once big, real big, a force to be reckoned with, but has since completely disappeared into obscurity. There was a time when the slender blonde leather faced Hogan was everywhere here in the UK, mainly advertising beer and acting the gruff Aussie, it was very popular. I think what is so endearing about this film is Hogan's character, his charm, lack of tact, surprising strength, rugged looks, Tarzan like abilities, gloriously over the top threads, blatant unknowing male chauvinism and the overall stereotypical rough Aussie masculinity bordering on rudeness we've all heard about. The epitome of the typical Aussie cowboy living in the merciless Aussie outback. Yet despite all that he's still a decent man, good natured, bit of a ladies man and a very likable fellow who does what's right (most times) or what he believes is right. He accepts who he is and we the audience accept it too, he's a bit of a lad (albeit middle aged lad). I tend to think that the rather over board portrayal of Mick Dundee is kinda toyed with for the international audience. I'm sure there are folk like this in the depths of the outback but the extreme stereotyping going on I think is there to make people laugh, give them what they expect but bigger. Everybody has a perception of different people from different countries and this is what many countries probably expected to see (at the time) when it came to Aussie blokes living in the bush (or Aussie males as a whole). The ragtag, scruffy, unwashed, unshaven, dirty shirt wearing bar patrons in Walkabout Creek pretty much some up the humongous stereotyping going on. Or maybe I'm wrong, maybe this IS how blokes in small desert towns of Australia's outback look and behave! Maybe all the sheila's are rather butch with cropped hair and work behind the bar...beats me, but it seems a tad forced. The plot is pretty much your Prince Charming type affair really, but in the Aussie outback, a modern day Tarzan. The beautiful blonde Kozlowski goes walkabout with Hogan's Dundee, gets into dangerous situations, shown how to survive, meets local Aboriginal tribes folk and slowly falls in love with the athletic bushman. The first half of the film is set in the outback of Oz and displays terrific scenery alongside some great visual gags and exciting moments, including Kozlowski's ass. The second half of the film is set on the streets of New York and again displays some genius visual gags (for the time) alongside more expected exciting moments...you just knew the pair would come across street punks at some point. What is amazing is back in the day (and now even) this film was a fresh idea, it was quite unique and still is really. If you scratch beneath the surface it tends to have a kind of 'Police Academy' motif/theme really, lots of obvious setups for hero moments, love scenes, silly gags etc...But its such a slice of good wholesome cheer I really can't fault it at all. You know what I'm gonna say...looking back this film is horrendously clichéd, cheesy and predictable, seriously so. But back in the 80's this was a tremendous hit and rightly so, it has everything you could want for a great fun time with a lovely happy ending. Only downer I can see is this franchise totally typecast Hogan and pretty much ended his film career as he never bettered this, his best rough bluecollar Aussie charmer.

This is one of those rare movies for me that I've never gotten over or ever gotten sick of. I love the fish out of water plot line when Sue goes to Australia. Mick almost seems to be the bumbling character that stumbles upon being great at things like checking Wallys watch then looking at the sun to tell the time (priceless). Reminds me of inspector gadget kinda. But there's other times where he shows his true skill and sort of downplays it. The point is he was raised by outback tribes people and may actually have a sixth sense or aboriginal powers!?? I don't know!Then Sue asks for him to go to New York City with her. So if you like the fish out of water type story...what happens in this is a double whammy! First Sue is the fish and Mick's in his element (survival, nature, buffalo hypnosis!). Then they switch to where Mick sees a city for the first time ever. Overloaded with people, too much going on, and Sue ends up looking out for him. Then you have the love. It actually is a love story. Pacing is great there's an obstacle or two to overcome. And if you take the fact that they are falling in love on screen and off screen. it's really great to watch. If you haven't seen it in years and all it is to you now is a cliché or just big knife quotes you should really check it out again. I know its not on any top lists anywhere but I can't help but love it! Not even in a guilty pleasure way but in an actual good fun entertaining way.The writing I give 10 stars The acting I give 10 stars The love I give 10 stars The soundtrack 10 stars...11 if I could! love that theme song.

'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.

An American reporter (Linda Kozlowski) goes to the Australian outback to meet an eccentric crocodile poacher (Paul Hogan) and invites him to New York City.Love it or hate it, "Crocodile Dundee" was a huge hit in the 1980s, and made a boatload of money. Paul Hogan is still famous today (2014), more or less just for portraying this single role. That is rather impressive.Some parts of the film are pretty funny, while others are a tad boring. The romantic subplot tends to drag down the pace and humor, and actually ends up making the film not nearly as good as it could have been. This is one of the few "classics" that has been outdone by its sequel.
