Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.
It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Having seen both "Crocodile Dundee" and ""Crocodile Dundee 2"I just had to watch the third and final outing of Mick Dundee,Sue Charlton and the friends Down Under just to satisfy my trip down memory lane. "Crocodile Dundee" sparked my interest in cinema after I left school, particularly world cinema, in particular Australia.The plot revolves around Mick, Sue and their son Mikey living in Australia. Life is great Down Under, Mick is still hunting living the high life with his mates until Sue's father summons her back to the US to take up a role in Los Angeles. The family move to Los Angeles and we see Mick's naivety once more charming the locals. Sue is working upon an investigative story triggering Mick's gut instinct taking him to the film industry to infiltrate a film group and it's activities. A good, wholesome comedy from Paul Hogan and now ex-wife Linda Koslowski which manages to grab your attention and distracts from the the fare produced around it at the time of its release and would still hold it's own among comedy films produced now. It's pure entertainment all the way, interspersed with Paul's comedy timing delivering the goods bang on time.Cinema-goers tastes have changed since 1986 but if you're looking for it and manage to locate it, then watch the previous two movies before this one and admire the best from Down Under. the best from Down Under.
Australian Outback adventurer Mick "Crocodile" Dundee travels to Los Angeles with his young son while his longtime companion suspects foul play at a movie studio. Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles basically Crocodile Dundee III is thank god the last of this movies although it's fun like the critics said the movie suffers from poor comedy it comes recycled most of the time and is it me? or did this film copied a lot of elements from Beverly Hills Cop 3? Another 3rd film that many people hated. Paul Hogan is still good old but good, Linda Kozlowski's character Sue isn't much in the film but she is still nice and the kid did a nice job and the Mike Tyson cameo was nice it was alright. Now Jere Burns and Jonathan Banks were easily the worst of this film the villains if you can even call them that were cartoons 100% they just didn't have any power over the hero of the film the previous ones from the 2nd film had but this? Not even close. Also the plans for this movie took decades and that is what really hurts the movie for me cause 1 and 2 came out in the 80's and this one in 2001 so you get what i'm trying to say. It was a fun sequel but a very unnecessary one that lost the touch and the charisma of the previous 2 movies.
Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001): Dir: Simon Wincer / Cast: Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski, Jonathan Banks, Paul Rodriguez, Jere Burns: About someone out of their element, which is exactly the same theme as the first film. Paul Hogan plays Mick Dundee who is dealing with a crocodile problem in the Australian outback when his girlfriend receives opportunity to join a newspaper in Los Angeles. Upon arrival Dundee becomes involved in a film being made but attention falls upon paintings that are used as props. He will bond with his son in theme parks before battling bad guys in an embarrassing climax. Director Simon Wincer has no idea where this material is going. He previously made The Phantom, which is another failure from the outback. These films aren't exactly complimenting the land of the kangaroo. Screenplay is simply Dundee in a series of stupid adventures through Hollywood, and the result is a movie this bad. Hogan is basically hanging onto what made him famous. Linda Kozlowski is there because of convenience. Film exists because Hogan had no legs to stand on to keep his career alive. That is nothing against him. He can convey charm and charisma when the material is right but the audience isn't joining him here. The result is a film that is about as entertaining as the many boring fishing programs that people sleep through. Score: 2 / 10
This new addition to the Crocodile Dundee franchise is like one of the worst thing that ever happened in 2001, at the end of the film you feel like Paul Hogan should pay you back for seeing this. The movie from the set go lacks vision, entertainment and if it were a direct to DVD movie it would have made more sense.There was definitely no reason for them to have made this movie, but they did anyway and put it out there for us to see and dislike. This movie was so bad that I couldn't believe that it left the storyboard. Dundee (Paul Hogan) and Sue (Linda Kozlowski) are now together for like 15 years and they have a son named Michael after his father.While living in Australia Sue got a call from her father that she should come and help hold down his office (a newspaper company) in Los Angeles while he attends to other matters. Sue (after Dundee said that he and Michael their son will go along) accepted the offer and moved with her family to Los Angeles, there both father and son were kind of out of it and made the news once for just not getting how things work in America.The antagonist in this one is a phony movie production company, and in this flick we get to see Dundee go undercover. A side story to the whole movie plot has both Dundee and Sue not being married for the whole 15 years they have been together with Sue wanting it but not pushing it and Dundee just not manning up to do the right thing.Trust me after you have read this review just run away from this flick, it is not worth the one hour thirty minutes I put into it. In this movie Hogan is all old, so is Sue and the whole cute lovable couple is not so cute anymore then there are scenes were we see some ladies go gaga for Dundee, I'm no woman but that guy looked old and out of it, so I didn't see the attraction.I felt the makers wanted to see if they could still make some more money off the franchise but this $21 million production only made 39 million in the box office, maybe the DVD sales helped later on, that I don't know but one thing I'm glad for is that, I don't think there will be a Crocodile Dundee IV.www.lagsreviews.com
