PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't wait 6 months to see PART 2 !!! 2X The fun 2x the adventure 100x more danger 2x more comedy 2x the romance !!!! BEST SEQUEL EVER to an original movie !!!! CROCODILE DUNDEE II !!!!
It's interesting how simple things like those found in cutlery make up legendary movie lines. Here's the thing, "That's not a knife. That's a knife..." And from The Matrix, "There is no spoon..."
This is the highest grossing Australian movie. The sequel is just as good. The Dundee and Sue married in real life after the second movie. They were married for 24 years and have one son. Paul Hogan was 46 when he made this movie. He was a household name in Australia and became an international star. Watch his speech at the Oscars. It is so funny!!
I like to pretend that after this film, he moves to LA and becomes a police officer (Die Hard), then moves to Chicago and continues his career there (Family Matters).
Not to mention Detective Dave Sutton in Turner & Hooch / Preston in Posse / Mr. Boyd in Like Mike / Reggie in The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee! #ReginaldVelJohnsonFTW | #WinslowFTW
I think it was because the 80's were about having a good time and we didn't take things so seriously back then. It was reflected in the music and movies. I miss those days.
People are overley sensitive now and get offended easily which is something that cannot co-exist with comedy. As all good comedy is offensive in some way or other
As an Aussie, I know alot of you don't grasp the scene where he is climbing over the commuters. This is how a sheep dog in Australia moves over sheep enclosed in a pen.
The limo driver is an actor named Reginald Vel Johnson who played Carl Winslow on the sitcom Family Matters. Also played a cop in the movie Die Hard with Bruce Willis. That movie co-starred Alan Rickman, who played Snape in Harry Potter.
Saw this in the movie theatre as a teenager and because the movie was sold out I had to sit in the front row. When the crocodile grabbed the canteen, I literally jumped out of my seat.
At the end when a person says "we're jammed in here like sheep" , that gave Mick the idea to walk on peoples heads, much the same as those sheep dogs would climb on top of the sheep to clear a jam near the entrance of the corral.
Glad someone else explained this as in Australian movie theatres all audiences understood the reference and stood on their chairs to cheer the moment! The character of Mick Dundee was known quite well before the film-it was a comic creation on a popular sketch show Paul Hogan starred in-but it was also shown in Ireland, Britain and America, late, on some channels. So its like an SNL character spin off.
When Mick walked on top of those people to get to her, Australian audience laughed because that's how shepherd dogs cross herds of sheep by walking across their backs.
The earth was created for the "fleas" and isn't yet quite 6000 years old nor will it last past 7000, and ownership of the land does and will matter a lot due to it's spiritual significance for as long as this earth exists. So that "observation" was actually delusional carnal-minded false 'wisdom' relying exclusively on incomplete and materialistic thinking and or fantastical presumption. The devil is the father of lies and is far more sophisticated in it than most choose to believe. And has been using mainstream media to socially engineer people into lower and more deceived and sinful mentalities for a very long time to prepare them for the very soon coming soul damning great deception of false worldly "good" that is soon to debut and kick off the great tribulation (from which there will be no pre-tribulation "rapture"). The world has also been willingly deceived through their love for sin to see comments such as this as either small minded, inappropriate or crazy, but as we all continue to watch the Biblical prophesies fulfilled before our own eyes in the coming years it will become clear why getting the warnings out, even at the cost of 'being weird', is necessary. And hopefully we will all come to cease from our shallow materialism and immoral make-believe and get real and get with CHRIST ALMIGHTY so that at least our eternal souls can be saved for resurrection and paradise, even if very few will physically survive what will very probably happen within the next decade.
This was a HUGE hit back in 1986 and for quite some time, everything was Australia, Australia, Australia. Paul Hogan wrote and starred in CD. Not only that, he met Linda Kozlowski who he later married. In fact, he left his wife (who he married twice and had five kids) to begin his relationship with Linda. They were married for 24 years but divorced in 2014. Still, they got three CD movies out of it.
"That's not a Knoife, That's a Knoife." - One of the biggest movie quotes here. This 80's classic brought a lot of American tourist attention to Australia. Jay will get a bit more action in "Crocodile Dundee 2". I'm glad you will both be reacting to it. I hope you get to it soon.
The ending sequence in the subway is iconic and I still think about it somewhat regularly even almost 40 years after I first saw it. Absolute classic film!
The big finale scene where Mick walks across the crowd's heads was inspired by how Australian sheep dogs run across the backs of sheep when they're all bunched up together in their holding pens. "Never never" is another term for the outback and is generally used to refer to the "real" outback - as in the deep outback, right out there, the most rugged, wild, inhospitable, unforgiving parts of the outback where most people never venture. As an example, you might say something like, "I'm heading out into the never never on a camping trip next week." Sheila is just another term for a woman. No self-respecting Australian would ask to go "by way of a liquor store." We'd say "bottle'o" or "grog shop." I can only imagine they had Mick say liquor store in order for it to make sense to the American audience.
Neville the tradesman! David Gulpilil was a very well know dancer and teacher. He was recognized as one of the Australia's greatest actors and a trailblazer for indigenous Australians in film.
It must be said that Paul Hogan came from a blue collar background. He was literally working on jobs like the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a rigger when he haphazardly began working in the Australian entertainment business, a late bloomer. He entered a popular tv talent show where the judges typically tore the contestants apart, made fun of them. General chit chat on the jobsite led to him entering as a tap dancing knife thrower. His intentions, to take the piss out of the cruel judges. He succeeded and was asked back. This led to the Paul Hogan Show, a very successful comedy shetch show on Australian TV. He became an instant legend.
Australians always have an understated manner of expression. A jellyfish sting is often described as “a bit uncomfortable”, a terrible meal might be a “bit ordinary”, and a great day might be “better than average”.

To 80s kids, Steve Irwin was Steve Irwin. There is no other like him. I came of age in the 80s, and even my parents (born in the 40s) loved Steve for who he was.
It is hard to explain just how big Paul Hogan was after this film came out. He was a global superstar for a short while. This film was HUUUUUUUGE!!!! And quite rightly so. One of the all-time great "fish out of water" comedies. I met a guy in South Africa who had a similar way with animals. Amazing to watch. He said he tried it once surfing with a great white and it just ended up taking a bite, and he just had a huge scar to show for his efforts!!!! He told the story with a massive smile and seemed totally okay with the decision the shark made to bite him. Just a different way of looking at nature.
As a new Yorker myself every time. I see classic movies with the towers. I just feel it. It just makes me feel so heartbroken. That we don't have those towers anymore.
I saw this in the theater when it came out, and the whole theater burst into cheers and applause at the ending, probably the greatest final scene in a romantic comedy. This was very popular the year it came out, and I still like it a lot. You identified its vibe very well. It unavoidably reminds me of “Tarzan’s New York Adventure” (1942), the best of Weismuller’s later Tarzan movies. Paul Hogan became known in the U.S. for a very popular series of commercials he did for the Australia Tourism Board. He presented the same sort of character, a super-friendly regular guy who invited you to visit him in Australia. He capitalized on that popularity to make this movie. Unfortunately, you may notice that he was getting a bit old for his co-star, and after the two sequels, he didn’t do much else that was notable, probably because he had aged out of leading man role.
Glad you guys enjoyed this classic, you should watch the sequel too, it's just as good! Here are some other 1980's comedy's to react to: "Stir Crazy" (1980), "Stripes" (1981), "The Toy" (1982), "Revenge of the Nerds" (1984), and "Fletch" (1985).
Visited Rome & Florence a few months ago. Every hotel bathroom had a bidet - but all I could do was look at them. Never used them once. It's like having 2 toothbrushes - one for the toothpaste & the other to rinse. Just not used to them.
I think I can speak for my generation (X) when I say that Steve Irwin means just as much to us as he does to you.....informative, entertaining, funny, heroic, inspirational, but most of all, beloved. R.I.P. Steve 💔
I remember seeing this in the theater as a young un! Ive always wondered the part where he hypnotized the cow to pass out how'd they get around it? It's still in the road! 😅
Loved this movie when it first came out. Another great movie that showcases Australia is Quigley Down Under, an Australian western with Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman (Professor Snape).
Fun Fact: Paul Hogan was really thankful he achieved that enormous fame when he was older. He said if he found that level of fame in his younger years, he likely wouldn't have handled it well at all.
Paul hogan was a painter on the Sydney Bridge, he used to have his own comedy show on tv , I loved it as a kid in the uk .he wrote crocodile Dundee, he and his co star linda fell in love making this film they had a son broke up years later tho , he,s a great actor , comedian wish he had did alot more films . a true genius down to earth guy ,
The Australia tourism board aired tv ads starring Paul Hogan as Mick Dundee grilling food. His tag line was "Come on down. We'll slip another shrimp on the Barbee.".
She doesn't want to marry Richard!! For some reason, as a kid, that whole scene had me in stitches. I actually grew up thinking strangers in NYC were this friendly. Decades later I visited NYC as an adult and the illusion was taken from me.
love this. Such a classic. Also from 1986, and with another wonderful Australian actor, Bryan Brown - I strongly recommend the action thriller F/X. It was massive when I was growing up - don't wanna give too much away, but it has some great humour and stunts, I think you guys will love it 😁
You might be too young to remember but he did the travel, tourism adds for Australia. Australia was huge in the 1980s US. Movies, tv, songs, lots of movies. Rescuerers down under. Another shrimp on rhe barbie both crocodile dundee movies. Man from snowey river. Five mile creek the list goes on and on.
Steve Irwin was hesitant to date Terri because he was worried that she was looking for a Crocidile Dundee type fantasy. Which would also be doubly hurtful because Mick was basically a poacher. Fun little tidbit from Terri's book...Steve used to get into constant bar fights out in the bush from poachers showing off their trophies and talking about killing baby crocodiles to rile him up. He rarely lost. I mean, the guy manhandled cocs across his zoo for a living.
I did not know any of this. Thanks for that info! I didn't think it was possible to live/admire Steve more than I already do! A few years back I saw a garter snake in the road, trying to get up the curb. I kept thinking about it and stopped and went back looking for it to help it up the curb if it hadn't made it yet. Two women in a car approached, slowed down and I asked if they'd seen a snake, explaining what I wanted to do. They hadn't seen it, but one of them said, "Steven would be proud.". He'd been gone a few years by then, but she said it just like that. We all knew which Steve she was referring to. It was the greatest compliment she could have given me.
Americans always comment how dangerous Australian wildlife is. Yet, the USA is home to black bears, grizzly bears, wolves, alligators, cougars, mountain lions, wolverines and a variety of venomous snakes.
The most dangerous animals are the stupid assholes in gangs with their pants hangin down to their knees. Or the Drug addict lying thiefin dumbasses thinkin they got it together.
Besides the Crocodile Dundee movies, there's another movie with the same two in it, Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski, called "Almost an Angel" And y'all would love the western/comedy Paul Hogan did with Cuba Gooding Jr. called "Lightning Jack"
My favorite Dudley Moore movie is hardly ever talked about. Micky and Maude. The hospital scene kills me every time! My daughters and I watched it together and now reanact the dinosaur scene. Only in the 80s could they have gotten away with that kind of movie. 😂
Yeah guys this was HUGE at the time, you cannot imagine!! I was a kid at the time and we all said "that's not a knife, THIS is a knife" like literally for years. Still do ;) The music and cinematography really carried the movie, along with, of course, the charm of both Paul Hogan and Linda Koslowski. Like everyone else has said, definitely check out the 2nd one!!
Mick Dundee was played by Paul Hogan a famous Australian comedian. He was also famous for being the face of Australian tourism back in the 80's. He was the one who said "Throw another shrimp in the barbie". The Paul Hogan show used to be on when i was a kid, late 70's early 80's. It was hilarious. My favorite character was a stuntman called Leo Wanker.
The place where they camped, and Mick spears a fish, is called Gumlon Falls in the Kakadu national park into the Northern Territory of Australia. I camped there for a week in the 1980s with my young family. The movie does not do it justice for how beautiful a spot it is. Back then there were no facilities, no shops and only a dirt track access. We brought in every thing we needed, and took out all our rubbish. Swimming in the pool beneath the waterfall was the best, and safe for my 2 young sons.
Dude, I felt the same way about NYC. I took the train all the way from Canada and got out right at Madison Square Garden. They had to DRAG me back to Penn Station come Sunday night. The comedy clubs, the WTC memorial, the diners, the pizza, the places you recognize from movies. Go go go go go and the people are the nicest folks I've ever come across, even southerners would be impressed by the hospitality New Yorkers will show you. Trust me. I've never been more wrong than I was about NYC.
@30:06 doing laundry in the tub. My sister used to do that in college when the washing machines were full. (She had learned to wash clothes by hand when we were growing up in the Amazon and visited tribes.)
Yes, the limo driver is also Carl Winslow from Family Matters. Reginald VelJohnson (born Reginald Johnson; August 16, 1952) is an American actor. He is best known for playing police officer characters, such as Carl Winslow on the sitcom Family Matters, which ran from 1989 to 1998, and LAPD Sergeant Al Powell in the films Die Hard and Die Hard 2. From his Wikipedia page...
I'm surprised you recognized the driver (Reginald VelJohnson) from *Family Matters* but not as the cop from *Die Hard,* he was also a corrections officer in *Ghostbusters.*
The place where they’re watching someone get a haircut is Astor Place Hairstylists, a very trendy place at the time. It’s still there (though it’s a lot smaller now), and still trendy, but not as much as it used to be.
I saw this in theaters when I was six. That crocodile/canteen jump scare was TERRIFYING on the big screen! lol I was in high school when Steve Irwin was popular. So I got to have both Australian influences in my life - loved both of them dearly. The chauffer was Carl Winslow ("Urkle Show") where he played a cop - and he was also the cop in Die Hard. Please watch CD2, it gets straight into the story (with no introduction to characters, like first movies always have to). btw, I've been to NYC and Boston and, surprisingly, the BOSTON people were the horrible ones! My family even called our buffet attendant "The Breakfast Nazi." lol My dear, sweet, innocent mother got bawled out by someone who thought she was getting too close to their door. yikes.
Funny fact. Quantus Airlines is the safest airline you can fly. In all of its history of flight, it has never crashed. Love watching Dundee again. Always a great laugh. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
I just took my 13 year old son on his first trip to NYC. Now, I'ma life long city boy, but my son has been raised in a relatively rural area... He had no trouble adjusting to the hustle and rhythm of the big city... and we rode the subway everywhere...it's all about connecting to people, no matter where you are...and city people are good people too
This and Police Academy were my favorite movies as a kid. My father and I never really got along or even shared similar interests, but those movies were one of the few times we could spend time together and have a good time.
Just FYI... Newsday is a real newspaper. I've worked there for almost 30 years now. The interior scenes were shot in the actual Newsday offices, although they moved out of that building shortly before I was hired.
I knew Crocodile Dundee way before Steve Irwin, both are pretty loved imo. That's not a Knife, that scene is always in my head lol, such an iconic scene and line.
I love the romantic comedies from this era! I think you'd really enjoy 1979's The Electric Horseman, with Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, and music by Willie Nelson (who also appears in the film). You might also like The Rose (1979), starring Bette Midler and which is loosely based on the life of Janis Joplin. Thanks for the fun reactions!
FINALLY, They have no Idea how big this movie was in the 80's. Part 2 is a must.
i liked 2 better
And 3
Total earning in 2024 $ would be roughly $955 million
Paul Hogan took home almost half. He made one of the best deals in Hollywood for the release of the movie.@@davidareeves
I agree. I loved part 1, but part 2 was better! Part 3 we won't talk about ....
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't wait 6 months to see PART 2 !!! 2X The fun 2x the adventure 100x more danger 2x more comedy 2x the romance !!!! BEST SEQUEL EVER to an original movie !!!! CROCODILE DUNDEE II !!!!
James Cameron might have something to say about that lol
Godfather II
That's not a knife. This is a knife. One of the best lines in any movie.
The interview with Ryan Reynolds and Hugh Jackman where they did a riff on it was super funny too.
*knoife
“What are your chances of getting out of here with that jacket?” “Better than average.”
Love that line.
Being a kid when this came out, I repeated that phrase for years every time I handled a knife.
"That's not a knife...THIS is a knife" is still a quote we use, especially out of context 😂❤
It is such a great line. I love how he slices that fake leather jacket 😂
Funny parody of that knife scene in the Simpsons Australia episode.
I say it at least once a week. Even if I'm home alone prepping dinner I'll say it when I grab a knive.

I even got a kick out of part 3. Paul Hogan is great as this character.
It's also the highest grossing foreign movie in the US.

Don't forget about "Almost an Angel" that they also starred in.
After they had an affair and he left his wife.
A lot of people fell in love with this movie in the 80s, it was definitely one of the best!
Yes the limo driver is from the tv show Family Matters with Urkel and he was also in Die Hard with Bruce Willis!!
I'm surprised they didn't recognize Al
And Ghostbusters
Wow.
All significant news in the scheme of things at large.
Stay focused on the important stuff.
I like to pretend that after this film, he moves to LA and becomes a police officer (Die Hard), then moves to Chicago and continues his career there (Family Matters).
Not to mention Detective Dave Sutton in Turner & Hooch / Preston in Posse / Mr. Boyd in Like Mike / Reggie in The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee!

When Mick walked on top of those people to get to her, Australian audience laughed because that's how shepherd dogs cross herds of sheep by walking across their backs.
'Is it dead?'
'If it isn't, we'll have a hell of a job skinning the bastard'.
"Like two fleas arguing about who owns the dog" such a brilliant observation!

Sheila and Bruce is sort of equivalent to Jack and Jill. I suppose most countries have variations, if more or less commonly used.

He was literally working on jobs like the Sydney Harbour Bridge as a rigger when he haphazardly began working in the Australian entertainment business, a late bloomer.

All of those are quality entertainment. WD, spider.

oh come on, the second one isnt even worth watching.. thats like saying robocop 2 is as good as robocop
Porky's and Porky's 2 The Next Day & Porky's Revenge. another one is Who's Harry Crumb.
Alot of ppl never mention it but Crocodile Dundee has a really great theme to it..just fits so well
Paul Hogan, the actor, WROTE this screenplay. So not only is he a great famous Australian actor, but also writer.
Growing up in Italy, I was *shocked* to find out that bidets aren't in everyone's house. Absolute madness! XD
Visited Rome & Florence a few months ago. Every hotel bathroom had a bidet - but all I could do was look at them.
Never used them once. It's like having 2 toothbrushes - one for the toothpaste & the other to rinse. Just not used to them.
Denmark is about 99,9 percent bidet-free too. 😅
I wish bidets were more common here in the US, even though you can by an add-on that attaches to your toilet. Certainly cuts down on the "paperwork".
I think I can speak for my generation (X) when I say that Steve Irwin means just as much to us as he does to you.....informative, entertaining, funny, heroic, inspirational, but most of all, beloved.
R.I.P. Steve 💔
Yep!
Crikey!
Coincidentally, Steve Irwin married an American too
I remember seeing this in the theater as a young un! Ive always wondered the part where he hypnotized the cow to pass out how'd they get around it? It's still in the road! 😅
Loved this movie when it first came out. Another great movie that showcases Australia is Quigley Down Under, an Australian western with Tom Selleck and Alan Rickman (Professor Snape).
Fun Fact: Paul Hogan was really thankful he achieved that enormous fame when he was older. He said if he found that level of fame in his younger years, he likely wouldn't have handled it well at all.
He's stepping on heads... and them heads where proud to be stepped on, cheering him on the whole way and helping him balance. Now thats charisma
Like a sheep dog working sheep up the race 🙂
one of my all time favorite movies. love the score, especially at the ending scene.
That buffalo he put to sleep, his name was Charlie. He ended up living at the Adelaide river roadhouse in the Northern Territory.
Paul hogan was a painter on the Sydney Bridge, he used to have his own comedy show on tv , I loved it as a kid in the uk .he wrote crocodile Dundee, he and his co star linda fell in love making this film they had a son broke up years later tho , he,s a great actor , comedian wish he had did alot more films . a true genius down to earth guy ,
Not all bidets are expensive. And once you start using one, you'll wonder how you ever managed without it. Life-changing.
The Australia tourism board aired tv ads starring Paul Hogan as Mick Dundee grilling food. His tag line was "Come on down. We'll slip another shrimp on the Barbee.".
Paul Hogan is 84 years young now. Love the sequel too.
"Enjoying that"
Long pause
"Nah needs garlic".
They were supposed to do a reboot with Chris Hemsworth, but I don't know what happened to it. It's probably not woke enough anymore
@@yaimavol Ain’t that a shame? 🤦♀
that was just a joke promo....
"This isn't a game!"
"it is to me"
🙂
That was just a commercial for Aussie tourism. It's funny. @@yaimavol
She doesn't want to marry Richard!!
For some reason, as a kid, that whole scene had me in stitches. I actually grew up thinking strangers in NYC were this friendly. Decades later I visited NYC as an adult and the illusion was taken from me.
Did you try to walk around and say “G’day” to those you met?
@@kasperkjrsgaard1447 No. But I did try to talk to everybody. Even the homeless people. My future wife had to tell me stop trying to talk to everyone.
@@John_Locke_108
Bugger. This is actually quite sad. 😔 Everybody has a story. Share it.
I love Crocodile Dundee 2 just as much!
I love the final...subway s scene....when he people sending the message that she loves him and he climbs on top of people and goes there 😂
He didn't slap him at the dinner table, he halfway knocked him out with a jab to the chin.
A shiela is what the aussie guys call a female
The "black fella" whose tribe Mick was inquiring about is Reginald Veljohnson, best known as the cop who helps Bruce Willis in "Die Hard"
This movie was HUGE in the 80s !! Such a fun movie ! We ❤ Crocodile Dundee 🐊
This and Captain Ron were my favorite movies growing up.
If anything's gonna happen, it's gonna happen out there.
love this. Such a classic. Also from 1986, and with another wonderful Australian actor, Bryan Brown - I strongly recommend the action thriller F/X. It was massive when I was growing up - don't wanna give too much away, but it has some great humour and stunts, I think you guys will love it 😁
The Man From Snowy River is my favorite Aussie movie. You guys will love it
Some lovely creative fiction from the urban literati, indeed.
Would definitely recommend part 2, and "Almost an Angel"
"License to Drive" is a great 80's comedy movie you just have to watch. Also "Weekend at Bernies" is in my opinion one of the funniest 80's movies ❤
I love those movies, my favorites as a kid
You might be too young to remember but he did the travel, tourism adds for Australia. Australia was huge in the 1980s US. Movies, tv, songs, lots of movies. Rescuerers down under. Another shrimp on rhe barbie both crocodile dundee movies. Man from snowey river. Five mile creek the list goes on and on.
Steve Irwin was hesitant to date Terri because he was worried that she was looking for a Crocidile Dundee type fantasy.
Which would also be doubly hurtful because Mick was basically a poacher.
Fun little tidbit from Terri's book...Steve used to get into constant bar fights out in the bush from poachers showing off their trophies and talking about killing baby crocodiles to rile him up. He rarely lost. I mean, the guy manhandled cocs across his zoo for a living.
I did not know any of this. Thanks for that info! I didn't think it was possible to live/admire Steve more than I already do!
A few years back I saw a garter snake in the road, trying to get up the curb. I kept thinking about it and stopped and went back looking for it to help it up the curb if it hadn't made it yet. Two women in a car approached, slowed down and I asked if they'd seen a snake, explaining what I wanted to do. They hadn't seen it, but one of them said, "Steven would be proud.". He'd been gone a few years by then, but she said it just like that. We all knew which Steve she was referring to. It was the greatest compliment she could have given me.
Almost an Angel stars both of these wonderful actors. Just as good as the 3 great Crocodile Dundee movies
Americans always comment how dangerous Australian wildlife is. Yet, the USA is home to black bears, grizzly bears, wolves, alligators, cougars, mountain lions, wolverines and a variety of venomous snakes.
True. Mountain Lions and Cougars are the same cat though just fyi. Puma is another term for the same animal. You maybe thinking of the Jaguar?.
The most dangerous animals are the stupid assholes in gangs with their pants hangin down to their knees. Or the Drug addict lying thiefin dumbasses thinkin they got it together.
All we need is some venomous egg laying mammals, some blue ringed octopus and things like that.
Besides the Crocodile Dundee movies, there's another movie with the same two in it, Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski, called "Almost an Angel" And y'all would love the western/comedy Paul Hogan did with Cuba Gooding Jr. called "Lightning Jack"
Watch part two also. - Im glad you didnt cut the 'thats not a man' part out like most people do. Thats parts really funny!
Indeed it is…despite the growing number of people who say it “not allowed to be funny”…
🤦🏻
Another 80's movie that's worth watching is Arthur with Dudley Moore and Liza Minnelli
Definitely! Great choice. Also After Hours with Griffin Dunne, Terri Garr and the parents from Home Alone! 🙂🙂
My favorite Dudley Moore movie is hardly ever talked about. Micky and Maude. The hospital scene kills me every time! My daughters and I watched it together and now reanact the dinosaur scene. Only in the 80s could they have gotten away with that kind of movie. 😂
Yea! Ive been recommending that film for a year! Funny funny film!
Yeah guys this was HUGE at the time, you cannot imagine!! I was a kid at the time and we all said "that's not a knife, THIS is a knife" like literally for years. Still do ;) The music and cinematography really carried the movie, along with, of course, the charm of both Paul Hogan and Linda Koslowski. Like everyone else has said, definitely check out the 2nd one!!
This is one of those old comedies that stretch what was once allowed. I'm not sure if i've seen the 2nd one but i did love this one.
Mick Dundee was played by Paul Hogan a famous Australian comedian. He was also famous for being the face of Australian tourism back in the 80's. He was the one who said "Throw another shrimp in the barbie". The Paul Hogan show used to be on when i was a kid, late 70's early 80's. It was hilarious. My favorite character was a stuntman called Leo Wanker.
The place where they camped, and Mick spears a fish, is called Gumlon Falls in the Kakadu national park into the Northern Territory of Australia. I camped there for a week in the 1980s with my young family. The movie does not do it justice for how beautiful a spot it is. Back then there were no facilities, no shops and only a dirt track access. We brought in every thing we needed, and took out all our rubbish. Swimming in the pool beneath the waterfall was the best, and safe for my 2 young sons.

You're correct, Amber.
That's the dad, Carl Winslow, from "Family Matters"
The actor's name's Reginald VelJohnson
Dude, I felt the same way about NYC. I took the train all the way from Canada and got out right at Madison Square Garden. They had to DRAG me back to Penn Station come Sunday night. The comedy clubs, the WTC memorial, the diners, the pizza, the places you recognize from movies. Go go go go go and the people are the nicest folks I've ever come across, even southerners would be impressed by the hospitality New Yorkers will show you. Trust me. I've never been more wrong than I was about NYC.
@30:06 doing laundry in the tub. My sister used to do that in college when the washing machines were full. (She had learned to wash clothes by hand when we were growing up in the Amazon and visited tribes.)
Part 2 is awesome!! Continue the Mick DunDee journey!!!
The Hogan show was a scream ,starring Paul Hogan,prior to his movie days.
Yes, the limo driver is also Carl Winslow from Family Matters.
Reginald VelJohnson (born Reginald Johnson; August 16, 1952) is an American actor. He is best known for playing police officer characters, such as Carl Winslow on the sitcom Family Matters, which ran from 1989 to 1998, and LAPD Sergeant Al Powell in the films Die Hard and Die Hard 2.
From his Wikipedia page...
I'm surprised you recognized the driver (Reginald VelJohnson) from *Family Matters* but not as the cop from *Die Hard,* he was also a corrections officer in *Ghostbusters.*
Linda Koslowski fell in love with Paul Hogan making this movie.
Also, a Sheila is a female. And of course, mate is friend. I have a Facebook friend who lives there. Love talking with her.
The place where they’re watching someone get a haircut is Astor Place Hairstylists, a very trendy place at the time. It’s still there (though it’s a lot smaller now), and still trendy, but not as much as it used to be.
I love Crocodile Dundee, you definitely need to check out part 2
You need to perfect Mick's animal control. May come in handy with the neighbor's dog(s). 😂 Great reaction!
I saw this in theaters when I was six. That crocodile/canteen jump scare was TERRIFYING on the big screen! lol I was in high school when Steve Irwin was popular. So I got to have both Australian influences in my life - loved both of them dearly. The chauffer was Carl Winslow ("Urkle Show") where he played a cop - and he was also the cop in Die Hard. Please watch CD2, it gets straight into the story (with no introduction to characters, like first movies always have to). btw, I've been to NYC and Boston and, surprisingly, the BOSTON people were the horrible ones! My family even called our buffet attendant "The Breakfast Nazi." lol My dear, sweet, innocent mother got bawled out by someone who thought she was getting too close to their door. yikes.
Thanks for this one kiddos. What a flashback. Happy days
I'd love to see you react to some more funny classic 80's films like The Toy, Raising Arizona, Parenthood; and tear jerker like Stealing Home.
Funny fact. Quantus Airlines is the safest airline you can fly. In all of its history of flight, it has never crashed. Love watching Dundee again. Always a great laugh. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.

I just took my 13 year old son on his first trip to NYC.
Now, I'ma life long city boy, but my son has been raised in a relatively rural area...
He had no trouble adjusting to the hustle and rhythm of the big city... and we rode the subway everywhere...it's all about connecting to people, no matter where you are...and city people are good people too
This and Police Academy were my favorite movies as a kid. My father and I never really got along or even shared similar interests, but those movies were one of the few times we could spend time together and have a good time.
Just FYI... Newsday is a real newspaper. I've worked there for almost 30 years now. The interior scenes were shot in the actual Newsday offices, although they moved out of that building shortly before I was hired.
One of the classics 80s movie, never knew how good crocks theme is
You well never see that NYC skyline any more in person
Croc dundee 2 is worth watching as well. Hogan used to be a painter on the coat-hanger ( Sydney harbour Bridge) before becoming a comedian on tv
I knew Crocodile Dundee way before Steve Irwin, both are pretty loved imo. That's not a Knife, that scene is always in my head lol, such an iconic scene and line.
One of those great adventure romcoms. Just a fun well written movie, exotic for us Northerners. The chemistry between the leads was 🔥.
I love the romantic comedies from this era! I think you'd really enjoy 1979's The Electric Horseman, with Robert Redford and Jane Fonda, and music by Willie Nelson (who also appears in the film). You might also like The Rose (1979), starring Bette Midler and which is loosely based on the life of Janis Joplin. Thanks for the fun reactions!
