[@gutz1981]

I was 5, born and raised in Australia and living in a country town not too far from the outback and my mum took me and my two older brothers to the cinema to watch this and it was the first movie I ever saw in the theater. The small local cinema was full to the brim on a Sunday night and we were sitting in the front row. I still remember to this day all the laughs (especially from the Roo shooting the gun) The biggest moment was at the end when they were using people to tell Mick Sue loves him, and when he got on top of peoples shoulders, the whole cinema stood up and cheered and clapped and hugged and I remember being a small 5 year old sitting down and watching all these grown people cheers and scream standing up over me. It was from that moment on I knew I wanted to be involved in movies and to some degree, that is what I have been doing over the last 10 years. An experience I will never forget seeing one of our own on screen and the cheers.

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

@@josefstalin9678 Shrimp aren't found in waters around Australia. Prawns are. What's the point you're trying to make?

[@josefstalin9678]

@@PhantomFilmAustralia my point is that many people believe shrimp and prawn to be different words for the same animal when they're actually different, like alligators and crocodiles. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard/read someone say "we call shrimp prawns" I'd have enough money to buy bubba gump. The same can be said for americans who call prawns shrimp, it goes both ways. Furthermore, several species of shrimp can be found in the waters in and around australia, they just aren't as common as they are on the other side of the pacific or even further north around china.

[@RenfrewPrume]

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 roles.

[@Cadinho93]

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. Also, this film actually got an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. The lead star Paul Hogan also co-wrote the script and got nominated as a result.

The music is beautiful in this film. It’s such a small movie and yet it adds such scale to everything.

[@whoarocket]

My favorite thing from this movie was when he was using a regular shaving razor when he thought she wasn't looking but then switched to shaving with the huge knife when she looked around so he could appear tough. It's such a great thing showing him messing with her to create that persona. Much of the persona was real, but you could see he was also exaggerating it some. Yes, there is a Crocodile Dundee 2 that you would enjoy watching too.

The pub used in the film, the 'Walkabout Creek' pub, is a real small town pub in outback Queensland. It is in the town of McKinlay about halfway between Winton and Cloncurry. The film producers were going to use locals as extras in the pub scene but thought viewers would not believe they were real so they had to use actors. The locals actually made the Crocodile Dundee character look a bit tame. I grew up as a kid in the area at Mt Isa to the northwest of McKinlay and have passed through it many times before it became famous.

Paul Hogan co-wrote the script, and it's amazing how well he and his co-writer understood 1980s New York. When Mick says that New York "must be the nicest city in the world," he sounds naïve. But despite the gruff exterior of the city's seven million inhabitants, most of them quite nice in a way few outsiders understand. The characters Mick meets in New York City are so true-to-life, which makes the emotional payoff on the subway platform so believable and emotionally satisfying, despite its cornyness.

Hey Cassie & Carly, Paul Hogan was already well known in the US before this movie came out, for being the spokesman for Australian tourism in a series of commercials on US television.

Loved this movie when it came out, and loved your reactions. Thank you ladies.

Paul Hogan's filmography is mostly Australian film and television. He had his hits and misses in the US.

Paul and the actress who played Sue were married in 1990 and divorced in 2014. They have one son together.

An ox is a neutered/castrated bull. ;) This movie was a pop-cultural phenomenon when it came out and catapulted Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski into super-stardom. The second one is well worth a watch, travelling the other way so to speak.

Paul has had an interesting life. He got married at 19. Was married for something like 23 years and then divorced. A year later he and his ex remarried and were together another 7 years. He and his costar in this movie Linda Kozlowski married in 1990 and were together for like 23 or 24 years. He is now single and living in Australia. He is I think 84 yrs old. This was a fun movie and was huge in it's popularity. The sequel is fun as well.

Funny story for you ladies... The Aboriginal (Nevil) was played by David Gulpalil. He acted in an ABC TV miniseries called "A Timeless Land" with Sam Neill and Hugo Weaving. I was also in the series and its kinda funny looking back on it after this scene. Where Nevil walks off in the dark and steps on something that hurt... "A hate the bush". The reason it's funny to me is because we were shooting a scene in "A Timeless Land" where he and several other Aboriginals came out the bushes to face Capt Cook as he landed ashore in Botony Bay and every time the director called "cut" "first positions" the Aboriginals (all city dwellers in reality), were in agony walking on stones and scarp stickes going back to their first position to do another take... it was so funny... "ouch, ahhhh, oow, ouch........ "

I'm with you about swimming in a pond like that. The old monster movie, "Creature from the Black Lagoon," was the scariest monster movie when I was a kid.

[@JonathanReynolds1]

I actually met the crocodile 🐊 in the outback scene 13:19 (which was filmed in Kakadu National Park). The crocodile now lives in Crocasaurus Cove in Darwin. The creature at 6:51 is a Water Buffalo 🐃. 16:17 is cooked Perentie Lizard🦎. Wichitty Grubs can turn into giant moths. A grub is the moth equivalent of a caterpillar 🐛.

[@floretionguru2977]

@21:40 I think he is trying to say "It was a pleasure to see you again" but what I hear (as a non-native speaker of Italian) is "È stato piacere un rivederti" which translates to "It was pleasure a see you again", haha.

[@MegaroadProducciones]

Now you need to react to Crocodile Dundee 2 (and Crocodile Dundee 3 for that matter). Also, to Quigley, Down Under, as Tom Selleck, is another one of those great actors with a lot of charisma. (He would have been the best Indiana Jones ever, in my opinion).

[@MitchClement-il6iq]

He wanted to but was killing the role of magnum pi 😊 great show

[@davidcorriveau8615]

Quiqley is quite a good Western, for not even being in North America.

[@anorthosite]

Hogan used to (paint ?) steel bridges as his occupation, before going into entertainment. People he worked with on the bridges affirmed that he was just a regular, genuine guy. He did the comedy sketch series "The Paul Hogan Show" on Australian TV, before breaking out internationally with the "Crocodile Dundee" movies, and becoming a spokesman for Australian tourism. As mentioned by other commenters: His Intro monologue at the Oscars was Comedy Gold.

[@kenlawton1531]

He was a Rigger on the Sydney Harbour Bridge, not a painter. They took some publicity shots of him in the early days of him with a paint tin and brush on top of the bridge, but he was actually a rigger.

[@noelanderson8915]

Welcome to the world of Paul Hogan. He used to be a painter on the Sydney Harbour Bridge before he was "discovered". He made a very famous ad for the Aussie Tourist Commission, inviting everyone to come to Australia and he'd throw another "shrimp" on the barbie (BBQ). Of course, in OZ, we don't call them shrimp...they are "Prawns". You'll probably be able to find it somewhere on the web.There were many skits made with his mate "STROP" and they were hilarious.

"no worries" has been a part of my lexicon since the 80s thanks to this movie.

[@R0d_1984]

No worries - Mate.

[@twoflyinghats]

The first large animal in the road Dundee comes across and apparently subdues is a water buffalo, an Indonesian animal that can take the heat and humidity. It was actually a tame one. They live wild but are mustered to collect them.

[@gkiferonhs]

A quote you might like to help you keep bull and ox straight is from Ben Franklin when told by the House of Lords that the colonists should cherish the right to call themselves British citizens he replied, "I feel like the ox that has been called a bull. While I appreciate the compliment, I would prefer to have what is rightfully mine."

I was 11 or 12 years old when I went with my parents to see this movie in the theater. The “that’s not a knife…that’s a knife” line was epic and had the people roaring!

[@blakewalker84120]

13:15 One of the best jump scares in cinema history. First, they side track us with Dundee hitting his head on the log while he's being a peeping tom. It's worse if you're a guy - we're all checking out Linda Kozlowski's, um, bathing suit - makes us let our guard down.

[@Barovian20]

This was always one of my favorites. The second one too. He's such a wholesome character and the entire movie is just a friendly adventure.

[@roachtoasties]

Paul and Linda ended up getting married in real life. It's a bummer it didn't last. I eventually visited Australia twice. I've had people ask me if it's like the movie. Not in Sydney and Melbourne, but it's one of my favorite countries.

[@ggmiethe]

Thanks for that great reaction content. Really enjoyed it. I visited the US and Canada in 1987 as a 24 year old, and being an Aussie went down very well with the locals. Brings back fond memories. Thanks again, Geoff from Fremantle, Western Australia PS. July 1st, right? 🇨🇦🇦🇺

[@stephenmcaloon6285]

The walking on people at the end refers to Australian farmers who have literally millions of sheep ti keep, so the farmers and their dogs have developed the skills to walking over them because it would take to long to walk around...

[@smeary10]

I'm an Aussie and we were in New York recently. Once cab drivers found out where we were from they immediately quoted lines out of this movie. Especially 'That's not a knife - this is a knife'. It was great that this movie still lives in the hearts of New Yorkers as much as it does us Aussies after so long. 🇦🇺🇺🇸

Interesting history. This movie opened the same weekend as "The Princess Bride." This movie crushed The Bride at the box office. "The Princess Bride" didn't get it's second wind until it came in VHS. (To be fair, this is the movie my wife and I went and saw that first weekend.)

Many years ago a teacher played this movie for our class and told us it was about Sue not Mick. According to her Sue was the one who changed during the movie. She went from being an independent career woman who can have it all to suffering the scourge of scarcity. Dundee, on the other hand, never changed. Sue started out commanding her life and ended up running to save it. The teacher also mentioned that back in the 80's women were told by television commercials that they can have it all. So this movie was revolutionary in a way because it went counter to that idea. The one thing that I remember most that she said was "time waits for no one." There is a limited amount of time for everyone for everything. Sue spent her life climbing the corporate ladder and didn't secure a man in her life. The teacher pointed out how women don't have forever to have children and the time for that runs out. The teacher replayed for the class the part when Sue runs after Mick and throws off her pumps and runs on bare feet. She paused the video at that point and asked us how much we thought a successful woman in that time would have paid for pumps like that. Her point was that they weren't cheap shoes and Sue threw them away like they were nothing because they were now holding her back. At that very point in the movie, according to her, Sue changed. She runs like an animal at full speed to stop Mick because she realized she needs him. "Need" is not cute, its necessary because the clock is always running. I wish I could explain it like she did. I'm not going to be able to. I believe her interpretation of the movie impacted many in the class. When the class was over there was a good sized group of females that stayed behind to talk to her. This movie always reminds me of that teacher and I always get choked up when I see Sue throw off her pumps.

[@hulkslayer626]

...she secured 2 men. Then found Mick, the one she was meant to be with. Sometimes it's better to wait and find the right one 😉

[@Fulschermd]

Smart teacher… I always saw her arc along the lines of throwing off pretentiousness as she finally experienced something real.

[@PhantomFilmAustralia]

@@hulkslayer626 In reality, she felt "secure" with Mick, rather than her securing him. She knew full well that Mick could up and go "walkabout" whenever he wanted, as he did for 18 months on a previous woman he "sort of married." Sue's from a wealthy family and who's father owns a New York newspaper, though she knew not even all of that wealth could make her feel secure. It's why she chased after the man who had nothing but literally the clothes on his back.

Always been in my top 10, a funny and charming film. I'm a Brit who has visited Australia a number of times with friends there, my Dad lived there, and Brits and Aussies generally have a great rapport, and similar humour. Paul Hogan was already known to some in Britain from his Australian TV show, and to many for his appearances in Aussie beer ads. This was a huge movie all over when it came out in the mid-1980s, the UK no exception. Of course, both me, and my Dad, saw it together and loved it. He's been gone over 20 years, but I still think of him - and the warmth and friendliness of Australians - when I watch it.
