This is a classic Australia movie. This one put Australia in the limelight internationally cuz it is on the other side of the planet axis. So the seasons are reversed. Made Paul Hogan a star...crocodiles, shrimp on barbie, kangaroo, native Australians and of course the accent.

In the 1980's, Paul Hogan did commercials for the Australian Tourism Commission in an effort to get more people to visit and vacation in Australia. In the commercials, Paul Hogan famously said, "I'll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for you". They used the word shrimp instead of prawn because they knew that word was more common in the USA

Crocodile Dundee 🐊 is such a great movie. Even if some of it didn't age well, Mick had this childlike naivety from living on the outskirts of society and he didn't have a single bad bone in his body, which is what made his interactions with people so comically innocent.

I'm guessing that this being a 1986 movie ...no internet back then, contribute to the low score. This movie put Australia on the radar. Made Paul Hogan a star, and made tons of money compared to the budget. Lots of iconic lines and banter. 9 out of 10 in its day

I'm not Australian, but as someone from the Appalachian mountains of the US who is subject to loads and loads of stereotypes by people who have never been there, I relate a lot to Dundee when he experiences all this ridicule from people in NY who know nothing about his culture but are all too ready to mock him. He has his own ways and sometimes they may be strange or not line up with the norm, but he's just being himself.

We watched them with our daughter. It's funny, full of good values from that time - and personally, I think the West was at its peak in the years between '85-95 - it's culturally interesting (I didn't know, for so say, almost nothing about Australia), it's refreshing, romantic, in short, all the ingredients necessary for a pleasant and entertaining film were there.

Nice!! I saw the thumbnail and was like, that should be fun, but it didn't hit me until a few hours later sitting here about to watch it, and I just remembered you're Australian, so it should be even more fun.

A movie called Rogue (2007) came to mind when you mentioned seeing crocodiles on a tour boat. Check it out if you haven’t already seen it.

[@B0mber44]

Ohh, that’s a good movie.

[@stuwhiteman3810]

Great reaction Mez, I watched it at the movies at the time and thought it was maybe a bit too much Aussie. But watching it again over the years realised how much humanity it has, brilliant story thank you for making me watch it again 👍

[@RoadDoug]

Good unbiased reaction Mary, I’ll be waiting for the sequel

[@billyboy9034]

Yeah, these two, actually Married after this movie. They were together for almost 30 years!

[@flexableferret]

Been waitin for you watch this Mary! Used to watch this, Back to the Future, Aliens, Howard the Duck and so many others on repeat thanks to cable and VHS back in the day. Love Dundee so much. A family fave.

Always loved thissun and the sequel. Good stuff! Never thought a cowboy would come outta Australia, but hey, part of the brotherhood all the same. Appreciate the reaction, Miss.

[@TOYSTITCHER]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it🤗 I saw this in the cinema when it first came out…magic✨ The next. One is great too !

Loved this movie. Paul Hogan also used to have a sketch comedy show that ran in reruns here in the U.S. back in the 80s. It used to run back-to-back with Benny Hill on a local TV station here in the NYC area and I loved it. lol I mention The Paul Hogan Show to people today and it seems that NOBODY remembers it. How could that be?! lol I'd imagine Australians surely remember it better... ones who are old enough to remember it airing, at least. ;-)

I lived in Florida for 36 years and I did a lot of camping in Florida. The North American Alligator is no where as agressive as Crocodiles but I still was careful walking down along the waters edge or in the water. I always liked watching the gators. The thing that always made me nervous were the Cottonmouth Snakes.

I LOVE that comment, "A New Yorker in the bush, this'll be funny!" 😂 As a southerner, country man, cowboy and life long resident of the Appalachian (apple-at-chan) mountains of North West North Carolina, my thoughts exactly about her and most greenhorns that move to the mountains for the romanticism. Have absolutely no clue what they're in for! As actor Will Geer said in the movie Jeremiah Johnson, "Mountains have their own ways, Pilgrim."

[@armandoenriquez2564]

Great reaction! Your Australian accent came out much more during the movie. Ha ha, love it.

[@tracy4290]

This was a BIG part of my childhood! Glad to see an Australian react to it AND like it; I was afraid it had too many stereotypes in it and would annoy you.

[@mamatthews78]

Love it. A favorite of mine when I was a kid. Made me fall in love with Australia. You should definitely watch the sequel (just the first one, quality drops off hard after that).

When you said you like the song at the party, it was sang by Mental as anything " live it up" . The group was on its way out and this song changed their fortunes!!
