StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Humbersi The first must-see film of the year.
Mischa Redfern I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.
Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.
stormhawk2018 Well I guess you know what I'm gonna say about this third sequel. The first film was great and the second was decent enough but was walking a tightrope in terms of how much further they could take the franchise. This final film falls from that tightrope right into a large vat of poo. The idea is weak, so very weak...and anachronic, too. Since 1988, when the second movie appear, the world was changing since then. This movie must have been done in 1989, 1990 or maybe 1991 (we already know why this movie seems more of that year, instead of 2001), at Mr. Hogan's zenith of his career. The intrepid bushman is back, this time in Los Angeles, why? because his love must go there to run the family newspaper business for a time. This of course equals lots of pathetic predictable visual gags that refer to LA culture and anything remotely well known in the area. For example 'Dundee' goes to Paramount Studios for a tour, he ends up as an extra on movie sets and there is a hideous cameo by the boxer Mike Tyson, pretty much all the things you would expect from a comedy film set in the vile city of LA. Its sad because it just seems that LA has nothing to offer in terms of locations or ideas that somehow don't end up revolving around the film business. I mean there are other tacky moments of course, you have the obligatory attempted drive by mugging by some stereotypical Latin American youths, dubious nightclubs, airhead blondes, fast food drive thru's etc...but still the whole thing still ends up revolving around the movie business with most sequences taking place on movie sets. I get the impression that because the first two films were set in New York, movie folk in LA (the West) were jealous so they had to make another with Dundee in their neck of the woods battling with their cross cultural problems (gotta have something to do with LA it seems, can't not have that *groan*). I mean really, the whole notion is such a waste of time, you could of made a much better go of it in another country at least. Try Dundee in Japan, Russia, Italy or where ever! sure the whole idea is still stretched and pointless but at least it would be more interesting, but no lets make it in LA, cos we can't possibly leave out LA. Ignoring all rational advice we have this terrible result, a total cheese fest. Admittedly the continuity is again good with cast members returning, down side is Dundee now has a brat (son of 'Crocodile' Dundee? thank god not yet), luckily he is not involved too much which begs the question why put him in there in the first place?. Hogan still defies the laws of time and looks damn good as Dundee, his weather beaten tanned leathery face still looks youngish as does his body, makeup aside. With US/Hollywood meddling this final chapter in the Aussie franchise is a by the numbers load of fluffy crapola that didn't even need to be made. Could of been reasonable with better imagination, maybe a new location instead of boring LA...and what the hell happened to his croc skin waistcoat?! Guess that wasn't very PC for nowadays.P.S.: Answering these two last comments who said that this sequel is a hidden gem, yeah sure, is a gem for you because a sports celebrity - Mike Tyson - was in it...if you like the movies with sports stars (this one is not the exception), go watch "Care Bears Family Show" and be like Champ Bear.
Python Hyena 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

toddmtec41 Linda Koslowski can still serve it up! She has the class to continually be a leading lady, looks and style for any leading man.It appears that she will most likely be an actress that may have other roles in mind. I would like to see her in a role that brings out her seductive talents. maybe a role in the next 007 movie with again, Pierce Brosnan. Daniel Craig is an Awesome Bond! I still like the grace of Pierce. He is like Roger Moore, Old School Bond. In any event, these gentlemen will always have their place. As for the other Bonds, they to have their place in time.What to say?????? How about a scene that will play out in Las Vegas? Daniel Craig parachutes in from 4,000 ft above the Wynn Las Vegas. He then releases the chute within 10 ft and lands in the pool to a bunch of hot ties playing at the pool side bar. There is a robbery in progress, the LV PD is not quite there. The Casino Security has taken a big hit from the barrage of bullets from the slimy gangsters that are working their way through the casino to make their exit. Pierce who by the way is merely entering the main door, utilizing his skills to apprehend the slimy criminals catching them off guard while causing minimal damage and loss of life at the casino. Mr. Steve Wynn comes from out of nowhere, barely missing a bullet pulls out his 357 magnum and takes out the main boss. Pierce wraps up the others just in time for LVPD to clean up the mess.Hows that for a scene?
