Customer Reviews of 'Crocodile' Dundee [Region 2]

Good day mate!
Paul Hogan aka Crocodile Dundee enchants the audience with his rugged good lucks and animalistic characteristics- This is the original Croc movie or Crocodile Dundee I where a reporter from New York comes to Australia to write an article on the Outback but ends up getting much more! The infamous seen where the croc jumps out of the swamp and bites her water bottle while Mic Dundee jumps in and saves the day by knifing him between the eyes! Mic then agrees to come back to NYC with her where he gets a taste of city-life or in other words city-life gets a taste of Dundee!!! In the end, the touching bus scene where the report screams out over the crowd that "she's love ya" ends the movie and leads us into the next of three of the Crocodile Dundee trilogy!~

Time For A Reappraisal?
This film is not considered 'cool' these days due mainly, I think, to lazy TV schedulers who will run a butchered version of the film on Sunday afternoons because it's a 'good family film'. I've caught this film on TV about four times and on each occasion it was in a badly cut version but this DVD seems, so far as I can tell, to be complete. The film deserves to be put alongside the best comedies of any era and should be regarded as one of the prime examples of the form(I would compare it to Capra at his best).<

>I was lucky enough to see this film at the cinema, knowing no more about it at the time, than that it was supposed to be a good comedy. Well it turned out to be a very good comedy indeed. The film offers so much more than just some very funny moments though. Everyone I know who saw it at the time loved it and it was no surprise that it became one of the years biggest hits. It is strong in all areas, well written and directed with good chemistry between the leading actors and an excellent cast who all perform their parts to perfection. Hogan stands out of course and had the difficult task of throwing off the tag 'Australia's answer to Benny Hill' something he manages effortlessly.<

>It's difficult to realise now how much of a 'breath of fresh air' it was at the time since Hollywood immediately co-opted (or stole) so much of the style and approach of the film for its own projects in the following years.<

>The film quite naturally divides into two parts. The first in Australia<
>has a surprising depth to it and a real feel for the place(the Outback)and its people and of course you get to know the characters. The second part of the film is in New York and provides the bulk of the humour but still remains character focused and never descends into pointless gag-making.<

>It manages to be hilariously funny one moment and sweetly touching the next. Put simply the film is a delight and a joy to watch and can be seen many times without tiring of it.<
