Breakinger A Brilliant Conflict

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Ella-May O'Brien Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

slightlymad22 I loved this movie back in the 1980's and having not seen it in over twenty five years, when I realised SkyMovies were showing this, and Crocodile Dundee 2 back to back, I decided to revisit my youth and watch them. Sadly this first movie did not live up to the fond memories in my mind. I'd have rated this as an 8, if I was reviewing it without rewatching it, however now it is not the case.Plot In A Paragraph: Sue Charlton, a New York reporter (Linda Kozlowski) is working on assignment in Australia, when she heads to the outback to interview the living legend Mike Dundee (Paul Hogan). When she finally locates him, she is so taken with him that she brings him back with her to New York. In New York, Mike Dundee is amazed by the wonders of the city and the interesting people there.Paul Hogans performance is full of charm and I still find him an engaging lead as Mick "Crocodile" Dundee, but overall the movie was a letdown from what I remembered. Linda Kozlowski was the high point of the movie for this reviewer. She is gorgeous, talented, had great chemistry with Hogan (who she would later marry) and boy what an ass!! The scene where she is in the thong bikini is what has lingered in my memory, even though I didn't remember it from all those years ago. Reginald VelJohnson is a lot of fun as Gus the Limo driver. Mark Blum is simply perfectly slimy as Richard Mason, Sue's fiancée. I'll still watch the second movie now (I'm writing this during the ad break) but I remember it not being up to the standard of this one. I'll still vote it a generous 7/10. It would have been a 6/10 but I'm awarding a bonus point for Kozlowski's ass in THAT thong bikini.

Jakemcclake This movie has some comedic touches. It is a fish out of water story again, this time with Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) a guy from the Austrailian outback coming to New York at the invite of Sue Charelton (Linda Koslosky), a magazine reporter that is doing a story on Mick.Sue then gets engaged to her long time boyfriend in front of Mick, and Mick decides to leave New York for a "Walk About." (wondering around the country for a couple months).We then get the ending that makes the movie worth seeing.Just to mention this (not that it has any relation to how the movie ends), the actress Linda Koslosky has married her co star, Paul Hogan in real life.

OllieSuave-007 This is a good 1980s comedy from down under, where American reporter Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) goes to Australia to meet and interview crocodile poacher Michael "Crocodile" Dundee (Paul Hogan) and invites him to New York City, where their cultures clash. The movie is charming and innocently funny as we see Dundee adapt to life in the city. The chemistry with Sue is a very nice touch of romance and blends in well with the comedy. The plot has a good momentum to it; therefore, it is pretty entertaining from start to finish and, like many of the '80s comedies, is one of its kind that has no over-the-top stuff - just adventurous, charming fun.Grade B

kai ringler I really enjoyed this movie, thru and thru, I guess there are a few reasons.. one is there are a lot of different animals featured,, great scenes of the Australian Outback,, kind of a fish out of water story,, kind of all made sense to me,, we are introduced to Mick J. Dundee,, a man who wrestles crocodiles for a living. A female reporter is doing a human interest story and decides to go to Australia and visit him, and interview him about his near death experience,, there after they meet and he saves her life a time or two,, the two eventually become attached,, she invited him back to New York,, where the man she is seeing proposes to her,, he is a jerk, and Mick knocks him out,, eventually our lady reporter friend has to make a choice between her fiancée and our Crocodile Man,, very good movie,, you will not stop laughing especially the part where ,,they are on a NY st. and about to get mugged and a guy pulls out a knife, and Mick laughs at him pulls out his knife and says " this is a knife", and the man runs off scared shitless.
