Just to be clear, when Mick is saying she would not last out there in the Outback alone, its not so much a dig at her for just being a woman, I grew up close to those areas in Australia as a kid and it takes a special sort of man to survive out there alone and not get killed. I grew up there and even I have doubts I would be able to survive out there, let alone my city cousins.

[@paulpolpiboon9535]

She was also over reacting, Dundee had to spend a long while to reach his level while she thought she's so accomplished in life as a big wig reporter and a grown adult but so what; you can't just be a professional at that wilderness all of the sudden, big wig reporter + adult or not. And the majority of those who are experts at that wilderness are not women either, that cold statistic is not an offensive opinion it's just the reality of the universe. So she was being "prideful" and foolish and almost got herself killed by the story, lucky Dundee is a nice guy and followed her.

'Slow your roll. That man is a national treasure.' Kirk Lazarus-'Tropic Thunder' Gotta say I kind of agree with him. Paul Hogan just oozes charm. He went from working on I-beams building bridges to Australian TV, to his big break in this movie, and onward into Hollywood success basically on pure charm. This movie is no exception. It's one of those great heart warming 80s movies I come back to time and again. It's dated, but who cares. This movie never fails to put a smile on my face and that is a lot more than I can say for 80% of modern movies.

12:36 Mick actually said sticky-beak (which is Aussie slang for someone who likes to stick their "beak"/nose into other people's business), but the distributers were afraid Americans wouldn't understand it. So they dubbed "busybody" over it, which means the same thing.

The original Australian version runs about 6 minutes longer than the international version. It includes more character building in the first half. There is also more swearing which was dubbed out of the international version. So the dubbing you noticed is swearing that was dubbed over.

Not all swearing. For example, the part where he says "biggest busy body" is the international version, in the Australian version he says "biggest sticky beak" I guess considered too Aussie and US audiences wouldn't understand it. I won't go through them all, but there are other sections that were changed/dubbed to suit the US. Do you know if the Aussie version is still available to buy anywhere?

Paul Hogan was a bit of a flash in the pan in the U.S., but he left a priceless impression when he hosted the Oscars the same year he was nominated for best original screenplay for Dundee. He delivered one of the funniest and most memorable monologues dedicated to all the nominees who were destined to lose that night. Do a search for it... it was comedy gold.

Not really a flash in the pan between this movie and Subaru. I thought Subaru was an Australian car company not jdm

[@a1superfantastic]

@@206beastman Good point, there was that whole Subaru ad campaign. But at the time there was a lot of expectation in the U.S. for Hogan to continue exploding on the scene as a funny, handsome leading man, but this just didn't materialize. Crocodile's sequel was a dud, and sadly he faded from American audiences after that.

[@johnmorris8444]

@@206beastmanyea it wasn’t until like a decade later when I was car shopping that I found out Subaru wasn’t an Australian car company. It was genuinely shocking because although I never researched it, it was just a carved in stone fact in my mind that Subaru was an Australian company.

[@a1superfantastic]

@@ZavaXavier My point was this: "flash in the pan," at least the phrase as I know it, refers to something or someone being very popular for a short time. After CD, every company wanted to strike while the fire was hot and tried to get Hogan to do spots for this product or that. I also didn't forget that he popularized the term "shrimp on the barbie," even though it wasn't really a thing in Australia. Outback Steakhouse got pummeled with requests for shrimp on the barbie due to the success of the film, so they finally added grilled shrimp to their menu. Paul Hogan was clearly white hot but it only lasted a few years. I suspect you assume my comment was designed to insult the man somehow, but no, it's just his tenure in the U.S. was a short one. Once the Crocodile mania was over, and Hogan didn't follow it up with anything, he kind of faded in the U.S. It's not easy to get hot and stay hot.

This was the first movie I ever say as a kid at 5 year old in Australia in a small country outback town. I still remember the wooden fold out seats and my mother taking me and my two brothers on a Sunday night to a packed cinema to see this. I was close to the front row and I remember all the laughs and cheers (especially the Kangaroo shooting back, biggest laugh of the whole film) and seeing one of our own on the big screen. I remember the end when Mick got up on peoples shoulders to get to Sue, the whole cinema got up and cheered and clapped as he did so, and there I was looking at the movie and seeing people hug one another and scream at the screen in joy. It was from then on I knew I wanted to be involved in films from that day on seeing how much a movie could move people like that. Been almost 40 years now, but I still remember that feeling.

I grew up in Canada. In the early 80s Aussie movies landed in Canada and I went crazy for them. I love "Gallipoli", "The Man From Snowy River", "The Road Warrior", "The Year of Living Dangerously". "Mad Max" didn't count because they did a shit dub on the movie in its Canadian release. Back in 1980 Film Studios didn't think North Americas would understand Aussie accents. It took 30 years before I could hear the original voices. Peter Weir is brilliant! People forget history. It was those movies that put you on the Map. Dundee was final film that made Australia the number one place to go.

The scene in the subway near the end of the film, in which the characters reach each other by being carried over the heads of the people in the crowd, may have been included to evoke an image of Australian sheepdogs, which sometimes climb on the backs of the herd to travel quickly from one side to the other.

[@EvilHandyman]

A true classic. This movie basically charmed the entire western world at the time. Literally made everyone from all walks of life smile and buzz about it for a minute. He went from an Aussie treasure to a worldwide treasure. Must watch part 2. Fun fact: I always heard Paul Hogan met and fell in love with that actress on this movie in real life, left his wife for her, and they've been blissfully married for years and years ever since. They both became sort of a package deal "treasure". It feels like they basically only needed each other for their bliss and were pretty private, but it was the public that demanded they be on screen again a couple years later, cause they are too adorable. So they did part 2, and it's a perfect follow up. Then a couple decades passed and everyone was like "Feels like something's missing. Part of our soul is just forgotten. Oh yeah! We need Mick and Sue again!" So they did a part 3, much older, and we all loved seeing them again, but the movie was crap :-p Was just an excuse to get an update on our beloved example of true love finding each other from opposite ends of the Earth right before our very eyes.

Limo driver is Reginald Vel Johnson, who played the dad in "Family Matters" that had to tolerate Steve Urkel's bullshit. He was also the cop going back and forth with Bruce Willis on the walkie-talkies in "Die Hard." You are correct that there was some ADR dubbing to avoid a stronger rating, particularly the scene with the pimp and the hookers, to avoid the scripted line "Or are you gonna fuck one of 'em?" I still kinda dig this one, but I've seen it too many times that it's novelty doesn't really hold up. Fun fact of the movie is that Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski got married after making this--Paul left his first wife to be with her. Paul and Linda divorced about 25 years later.

[@clash5j]

Paul Hogan did TV advertisements that were shown in the US to promote tourism for Australia back in the 80's. The famous phrase from the ads was "I'll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for you". "Barbie" is Australian slang for barbecue. However, what has always been funny to Australians is that in Australia they almost never use the word shrimp. They almost always refer to shrimp as prawns. Calling them shrimp was just done for the American audience, who were presumed to not know what the heck prawns were

I feel TBR about the spiders in Australia as a child I had the chance of moving from UK to USA or AUSTRALIA but I said no to both USA would end up shot dead and Australia they have far too much deadly insects ..in UK we don't have anything Great movie Great Reaction WHOLESOME is literally the word to describe this movie and you BOTH said it too The interactions between people in this movie has something extremely special and positive about it

[@user-sy5vv4ze3h]

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’ New York Adventure” (1942), the best of the 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 role.

Watched this movie so many times with my mawmaw while i was young. She loved it and I still do...great reaction, glad y'all liked it.

[@DontrelleRoosevelt]

I think I saw this the fall it came out, and was the kind of movie that just makes you feel more positive about... everything!

[@JohnnyUtah15]

Finally! Glad someone has reacted to Crocodile Dundee! I love this movie! I’m just commenting from the start of the reaction and can’t wait to y’all’s reaction!

[@Pandaemoni]

The driver, Gus, was played by Reginald VelJohnson. He was also was the principal cop outside the building in Die Hard and was the dad in Family Matters, among a lot of other credits.

[@piotrk.8652]

Gus was promoted later to a cop :)

[@Pandaemoni]

And changed his name to Al, and later Carl Winslow@@piotrk.8652

[@shainewhite2781]

"That's not a knife. THIS is a knife." Love this movie. Has a grea fun premise. Such a shame Paul Hogan is no longer acting as he had $150 million dollars in unpaid taxes by the Australian government.

I hope you can do Crocodile Dundee 2 soon. Its a toss-up as to which one is better but I think the second one was much more memorable.

"you breed them?" "nah just toss 'em." 💀

[@mil2k11]

Fun film. Part of it leaves me a bit sad looking back. There were six of us who were all best childhood friends. This was the last movie we all saw together at the theater. We all still keep in touch nearly 30 years later, but it's just not the same as it was.

[@monsoon1234567890]

The sequel was on TV so often while growing up that I honestly thought the sequel was the original. I personally prefer the sequel.

[@YoureMrLebowski]

6:42 "he's still in the way." -sam exactly my thought when i watched this in '86. and every time since.

[@uosdwiSrdewoH]

Having rewatched this and it's sequel recently I was honestly surprised how well they hold up. As an Australian I was expecting to cringe throughout but it's surprisingly balanced and doesn't go overboard with the "ocker" that I was thinking it would in a way Australian comedy can do. By all means check out part 2 but I cannot possibly overstate how much you should avoid part 3. You have now been warned. Proceed at your own risk.

[@piotrk.8652]

Agree - Dundee3 is a crap, don't watch - will be waste of time.

[@jamesroseii]

It's Reginald Vell Johnson, everyone's favorite cop-dad. He played the cop-pop in Family Matters and the very important role of Sgt Powell in the Die Hard series.

[@lordflashheart3680]

If I were capable of being nostalgic for the 80s (actually living through them made that impossible 😛), this movie would do it. They made FUN movies in those days, and this one shines in that light!

[@johnw8578]

Such a shame that movies today have no charm or fun like this movie!

[@Corn_Pone_Flicks]

I don't know...saying that they "made fun movies in those days," implying that they don't really anymore, does pretty much sound like nostalgia.

[@-M0LE]

Nostalgia will exist in every time So enjoy today and every day

Great reaction, you two, and I'm so glad SOMEONE is reacting to this movie, because I've always had a warm spot in my heart for it. Now, you didn't seem to notice him at first, and then, you sort of did but couldn't figure out where you knew him from, but Gus, the limo driver, was the cop in Die Hard that John McClain kept talking to over the walkie talkie ... that was hinted at that he eats a LOT of Twinkies. He also played the dad (Carl Winslow) in Family Matters with Steve Erkel, his neighbor, which is where, as you indicated, that you probably knew him from. Finally, DEFINITELY watch at least Crocodile Dundee II. It's also a hoot🦉... Update: Forgot to mention, he married Sue (Linda Kozlowski) in REAL life (1990-2014) and reprised her role as Sue Dundee (née Charlton) in the entire series (1986-2001).

[@leighcarey7778]

I think one of the unsung heroes of this film is the fantastic score. It really adds to the romance and the character of the scenery and story.

[@clevelandcbi]

Sue: "How does he find his way in the dark?" Dundee: "He thinks his way." Ned steps on branch: *"OWWW"* - Had me cracking up as a kid🤣🤣🤣

that would be a YES for Crocodile Dundee II , and also a yes for the 3rd one "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" neither are masterpieces, but they are not bad enough to ignore either.

[@MoviesR4Life1]

Agreed

[@argustuft2394]

As an Aussie I loved your reaction. If you would like to see some similar very funny Australian movies I would suggest THE CASTLE (1997) and THE DISH (2000). If you're looking for the best Australian drama movies I would recommend CHOPPER (2000), GALLIPOLI (1981), ROMPER STOMPER (1992) and THE PROPOSITION (2005).

[@fionnmaccumhaill3257]

In the 80's you could run into break dancers in cities, usually on a piece of cardboard, hoping for donations like street musicians. Break dancing was new and became huge.

[@JordanJMyers]

All time classic. Hell yeah. 2nd one is good also. Great reaction y'all.

[@jowbloe3673]

Can't believe *Role Models* and *Old School* finished on the bottom of your poll. What sort of people vote on your polls?! *Spinal Tap* was close to winning and is a must see.

This is a way underrated movie. It was awesome seeing the genuine joy and laughter on your faces! Cheers! :)

I can't believe you haven't seen Big with Tom Hanks. It came a close second in the poll and it's a definite must watch. Another iconic movie.

[@Stogie2112]

Punchline (1988) is better. Hanks and Sally Field were outstanding.

@@Stogie2112 great movie 👍

If they do Big they have to do VICE VERSA as well

I can't think of Australia without Paul Hogan in mind

[@Niinsa62]

I love this movie! And there's another wholesome Aussie movie with about the same feel, with a very young Hugh Jackman, from about 1999. Paperback Hero. About an Aussie guy who wrote a romance novel, and it becomes a hit. But he is an outback Aussie road train driver. Yeah, you spotted it in this movie, "it is like a train". In Australia they have road trains. Trucks with lots and lots of trailers. And if you are that kind of guy, you can't have your mates find out you wrote a romance novel...

[@pacnorthwestdude8470]

Not sure how you ended up on my feed, but I’m glad you did ! Great reaction to a great movie .

Part II is worth it, too.

[@rayvanhorn1534]

I first encountered Paul Hogan in junior high back in...oh, 1981/2 when his show was on PBS along with Benny Hill. Had me laughing every episode. When this film came out, my friends & I were looking forward to seeing it because we knew how good at comedy he was.

[@jessc3007]

I adore this movie, thanks for sharing your reaction! I'm glad you both enjoyed it. The sequel rounds things out pretty nicely, I think you'd like it too. You should definitely visit Australia! I've been a few times. I recommend Cairns, Queensland. In the urban areas it's perfectly safe. The thing that struck me the most was just how much life there is. Lizards, birds and fruit bats everywhere. I did almost walk face-first into a spiderweb with a spider the size of a dinner plate in the center, but that was out in the bush away from the path. 😅
