Great reaction to this 80s classic ladies. I hope you plan to do the two sequels later on. My girlfriend saw all 3 of them last month and she enjoyed all of them. 🤠🐊
9:18-Yes its mean to shoot 'Roos, but it's still legal..They tend to eat farmers crops and munch the grazing grass meant for cattle/sheep. Me, I think they're kinda cute/cool..as a guy who occasionally hunts myself, There's lots of other food there i'd eat first.And could it have been any more obviuos those two were digging on each other off-screen? Hogan became the face of Aussieland after this.. many tourist ads and a 3-year spokesman for the Subaru Outback car.
For real? Wow, that must have been quite amazing. I heard that he's just as he is in the movie. Well mannered and a national treasure in Australia. I wasn't aware that they were married in real life though. From the movie, they are a great couple.
"That's not a knife. *That's* a knife." 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.
Hogan was also known outside of Australia for doing commercials for Foster's beer. I noticed that there was some product placement for Foster's in this movie. Yet I don't know a single Australian who drinks Foster's.
I loved when Paul Hogan spoke at the Oscars, I believe it was, he talked about people (Actors) being too polite and clapping their hands and saying it's alright if they lose to another actor in their category, Best Actor for example. He said something like. "I came here 10,000 miles for this, make a scene..."
@@Yugioh420yes.. He plays David Sutton who is training to take over for Scott (Hanks) who is planning to leave. He reprised the role, now the Captain, for the Disney+ series.
He and Paul Hogan played versions of themselves in "The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee" just a few years ago. Olivia Newton John and Chevy Chase were also in it.
@@craigmerritt8503 I hate being wrong, but I'm man enough to admit when I am. I don't know where I got the idea that a billiken was of Australian lore, but when I went check myself, there was absolutely no mention of it. I stand brutally corrected. It is nothing more than an art teacher's creation from a fever dream. Sometimes a little humble pie is necessary, and I just got served.
It was the highest-grossing film in Australian history, until it was surpassed a few years later by Young Einstein, starring Yahoo Serious. Makes you wonder why there are no reaction videos on UA-cam for Yahoo Serious films. Or not.
Best part of the movie. There walking and get approached by hoodlums, Sue says "He's got a knife"...Dundee replies "that's not a knife...that's a knife's." One of my favorite movies. Thanks again ladies. Keep them coming.
Crocodile Dundee was a worldwide hit and took America by surprise at the end of summer when it was released. It was kind of a throwback to the romantic comedies of the 30's and 40's. Great film, Great Reaction! :)
Taken from the real life accounts of Australian rancher/bushman Rod Ansell, who survived a crocodile attack while solo in the outback. Never given credit for his inspiration of the fictional character.
Really hope y'all watch Crocodile Dundee 2 soon! As much as I love the first, the second is probably my favorite. They're both really fun movies, but the second one has some really great moments in a slightly different formula to the first.
Give him your wallet. Why? He has a knife. Oh that's not a knife, THIS IS A KNIFE Ah just kids having some fun I absolutely loved this movie. It was great. More like a love bite lol
You know, I was in my mid teens/ mid twenties through the 80s...I keep hearing people talk about how she was sleeping with two guys through the movie, lol.. it really was like that. Unless you were actually engaged or married... you pretty much slept with anyone..I mean, you could be bf/gf and be committed.. like going steady... and not be sleeping around... but if you were just dating someone, it was acceptable to date and sleep with others.. it was just different i guess..I forgot how different it really was back then. Crazy. ❤
9:15 due to over hunting the saltwater crocodile was on the endangered species list for the 70’s and 80’s, the kangaroo is so prolific that they are considered a pest and have to be culled from time to time.
My dad who never went to the movies went to this. He loved it. Millions of fathers just like him filled the theatres. Hollywood didn’t make movies for middle aged guys. Nice job.
Paul Hogan didn’t expect the movie to be so big. He thought he was just making a nice little comedy for the Australia. He got the idea when he visited NYC and felt like an outsider and people thought he was Scottish. The quotes around Crocodile was added for the American release. Apparently Americans would’ve thought the lead was an actual crocodile. A couple Paul Hogan movies that are great to watch is “Almost an Angel” and “Lightning Jack”. “Lightning Jack” also has Cuba Gooding Jr and Beverly D’Angelo in it. “Almost an Angel” has Linda Kozlowski and Elias Koteas in it. He also starred in the movie “Flipper” 11:51 that gator is still alive in a wildlife park in Australia living the bachelor life. Dundee hugging her like he did was the right thing to do cause when someone has a shock like that there’s a sudden drop in blood flow and possible hypothermia so by hugging her he was helping to restore her normal blood flow. 18:43 Paul Hogan’s first time in New York he really did go around town saying G’day to everyone. 21:13 she even asked him if he liked her flirting with him. 27:59 one of the most quoted and misquoted lines from a movie. A lot of people say “now this is a knife” instead of “That’s a knife”. An Australian brewery even messed up on an ipa they duo they released. One had a small knife on the can and the other a large can. One movie to also watch after “Crocodile Dundee in LA” is “The Very Excellent Mr Dundee”. Paul Hogan plays himself dealing with the character Crocodile Dundee in real life.
love this movie the limo driver was the dad in family matters and also played as the cop that was friends with Bruce wills on die hard there are also 2 more crocodile Dundee movies I also recommend 1989 the wizard with Fred savage and the fist highlander movie as well as iron eagle
Had a good time! 🐊 Was a kid and grew up watching the Crocodile Dundee movies. Used to think he was the coolest character. Didn't even realize there was a third movie in the series.
"That's not a knife. THAT'S a knife." Fun Fact: Theatrical movie debut of Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski. Dance Enthusiast Fact: David Gulpilil really choreographed the traditional Aboriginal dance shown in the movie. He's one of the most famous and acclaimed tribal dancers of all time in Australia. Location Location Fact: The Sydney Harbour Bridge is shown in the beginning of the movie from the hotel window while Sue (Linda Kozlowski.) is on the phone to New York. Paul Hogan helped paint this bridge before he started his life as an actor and was said to have kept his co-workers laughing a good bit of the time. The Rest Of The Story Fact: When Paul Hogan gave an interview for Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles (2001), he put to rest the myth that there was a real Crocodile Dundee. He assured the interviewer that there was not, and that the idea for the character came from his own head. Hogan admitted that on a trip to New York he felt like a complete fish-out-of-water and the idea began to form in his head. Paul Hogan really did walk around saying "g'day" to New Yorkers during his first trip to Manhattan.
22:58 Oh my... I cannot believe it. I first watched this film when it came out on VHS when I was almost a teenager, and have watched it a few more times over the years. This is the first time I recognized "Simone" is the young Lady (my first crush) from the the film, Dragonslayer. I just double checked and it's true: Caitlin Clarke. Interesting how the young mind is informed, because I have always swooned over Women that have a more natural freeness to them... shortish ragged hair from simply spending most of their time outdoors in the wind. 😍❤❤
I look at this as a feel good movie that brings a satisfying end to a positive situation between two fish out of water. It reminds me of some of those Christmas movies like the 1951 Scrooge with Alistair Sim or the 1947 Miracle on 34th street.
It's so great to see someone other myself mention John. What a delightful actor he was, and I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know he passed in '89. The publican in Wake In Fright.
Brilliant reaction. I love your morals. I think this was a film that was played regularly on British tv. Ive seen it alot as a kid, and thought i'd grown out of it. It's nostalgic, and i like your reactions to it though
Yeah yeah I first started in the theaters and then a couple of times on TV. It's five out of five with me because of the cuteness aspect and the moments of action that are there but it's not over the top. It does have this two fishes out of water aspects but look at it this way when he is out of his water he handles himself much better than she does even though he does it in his own manner, the moral being that the basic open honest life stance when people live in harmony and concentrate on the things that really matter, the simpler way, seems a better way. Michael J.'s personality with awkward his awkward social skills win him more friends than enemies and she he falls into trouble, he still handles himself than the reporter or her fiancé would. On the other hand neither of the two would survive 3 days in the outback and it's pretty obvious how many friends the guy would make in Walkabout Creek. Fun, warm, exciting enough and shot on location - it's got all I want from a movie.
First time stumbled across your reaction video. And immediately thought , i didnt know that Madeline Stowe and Rachelle Lefevre were doing reactions. Lol
I watched it as a double feature with Ferris Bueller at a drive in theater. I’ve seen it many times since. They were married in real life for many years.
I grew up with Paul Hogan from the 70's with The Paul Hogan Show on TV and I think he did a great job with his first movie you must have known that he wrote the movie.
12:12 "Taking a pleasure bathe in crocodile infested water." She wasn't bathing. She was filling her canteen so she would have drinking water. Her choice of apparel was more about the heat than the swimming opportunities.
I do find it a bit strange how many reactors to that scene act like she's incredibly stupid. Everyone in these areas relies on the water to survive so they'll need to get it when they can. And while we see all kinds of shows today with crocs and other dangerous animals, that wasn't very common at all back then. Most city people would have known very little about the dangers. The scene just shows how a city person shouldn't become arrogant and look down on the locals who have the knowledge. It's a way for her to gain more respect for him.
In the swimming scene, it always amuses me how many people forget what he said just minutes before... "Mineral water, means no Crocs." That limo driver WAS Carl from Family Matters. This is the only role I've ever seen him in where he didn't play a cop lol.
Sue’s one piece bathing suit NOT winning an Academy Award is the biggest Oscar snub of all time…If that bathing suit no longer exists, at least include it in the “In Memoriam” section. Such a shame that the academy disrespects diversity in such an ignorant and hurtful way.
Force Of Light Entertainment There's one movie I want to recommend not only because it's good but because as far as I know no one's reacted to it and I think it should be trending which is "Arthur" (1981).
5:38 I tried that a couple of weeks ago, when I was crossing a field with a herd of cows and a bull I’ll get out of the plaster in about a month or so 😅
Back in the 80's. Everything was Australian. Music, movies, tv, couldn't escape it. You have the Mad Max series, Mel Gibson Quigley Down Under, Tom Selleck Shrimp on the Barbi, Cheech Marin.
This was one of the first movies my wife and I saw together in the theater after we got married in 1986, so it always brings fond memories. We loved it and always enjoyed watching it on VHS and then DVD. It’s cute, it’s funny, and the two leads have great chemistry. It’s simple and even silly, but it’s loads of fun. It just works. Glad you enjoyed it!
Crocodile Dundee is indeed not a masterpiece, but to this day, it remains one of my favorite feel-good films of the 80's. The writing and directing are uneven, but something isn't: Paul Hogan's charisma. Plus, that ending is soooo fucking sweet.
Hello ladies, Thanks for the fun watch. Been rewatching films with you for a little while now. This is a fun cute movie, with a lot of heart. I hope you will watch the sequel as I enjoyed it a lot as well, and it has more of a plot for you. Thanks for all the fun. take care!
The sequel to this starts in New York and then moves back to Australia. Then it is the New Yorkers that are the fishes out of water. It is often compared unfavourably with this film, but I think it was still an essential way to finish off the story, and still better than most sequels.
This classic romantic comedy was a huge hit in 1986 and is still as funny as ever. 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 ever in a romantic comedy. 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. He and his co-star actually got married after the movie was made.
He was (and is) a regular guy. He was a painter on the Sydney Harbour Bridge originally. He joked about appearing on a talent show where the judges were often quite nasty to contestants. He decided to go on the show and ridicule the judges instead. He appeared as a "tap-dancing knife-thrower". His act was a classic. He made fun of the judges, did a little shuffle dance, threw a bunch of knives on the floor, and walked off. It was so funny and popular, he was invited back and the rest is history. He became a regular on a current affairs program, giving an outbacker take on issues. He even had his own TV show for a while in the 70s and 80s (The Paul Hogan Show) which lasted for over 10 years and was very popular in the UK. In all of this, he displayed the "quintessential Aussie larrikin", which he also subsequently took into his movies.
Thank you. The Sequel is even better. The third movie wasn't as well received but wasn't hated either. There is a fourth docu-drama / comedy "The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee" (2020) which is definitely worth watching.
En suramérica todos vimos esta pelicula, Paul Hogan es un personaje que hizo popular Australia desde los años 80s. La segunda parte es tan buena o mejor que la primera
It was a quaint movie when it came out and seemed original, but I think what happens is that when a movie shows slight success, it gets synthesized and the formula seems worn after you see its formula applied across other films. It still had a few moments of its own, "that's not a knife" for instance is practically immortalized.
The thing that was different about it is having the guy from the Australian outback which wasn't a typical character. He made the movie work. Since then, I suppose people have gotten used to all the copycats that act like him so it doesn't seem like anything. They don't realize that all the stuff they've seen is people imitating him.
@@stickman1742 The movie I can see as similar is Coming To America, not completely similar, but having a person from a different culture come and try to blend into the American culture.
Paul Hogan and Linda Koslowski met o. This movie and ended up getting married. I believe they were married for 25 years or so. This was the first REALLY big hit we had at the movie theater I worked at when I was in High School. It was super popular for months.
Nice one again, ladies. Yes, 'cute' is as good a word as any.for this surprise novelty hit of 1986. As a longtime Australian resident now based in the UK, it holds a special place for me. Paul Hogan, or 'Hoges', as he is affectionately known in Australia, a former Sydney Harbor Bridge painter and rigger, had been a TV sketch-and-standup national institution with his 'laddish' brand of humour for almost two decades and in his mid-forties when this deliberate attempt to exploit the foreign market with an 'authentic bush hero' stereotype was created, and the result emerged as the second-highest-grossing movie of that year, after 'Top Gun'. Hogan's laconic, earthy charm and rugged 'lived-in' good looks won over a wide demographic both domestically and abroad. In his own words: 'It's like the image the Americans have of us, so why not give them one?' Love wins out in the end both for the lead characters and the players (Hogan went on to marry Linda Kozlowski in real life, though they have now been divorced for some time).
I love the way Neville talks. I actually had kind of a crush on him. Crocks are hunted like alligators are in Florida and Louisiana. You get tags for the gators and you can only hunt that many and the hunting season is only a month.
You're right, simple plot but adorable movie, any time I saw it on the movie guide I would flip over to watch it. Btw, where are you two from? I can't help but notice that y'all have a particular accent that I can't quite pinpoint, but I love it! Lol
First movie I put on the screen as the theater projectionist in my town. The most terrible part of the job was I had to watch the entire movie by myself to make sure it was a good print ! (Used to show the movies in my high school classrooms.)
Hogues is a movie legend and funny as. The Aboriginal actor was David Gulpilli, funniest black fella you would ever want to meet and a really nice tribal man. After the success of the Dundee movies he returned to his tribal community where he recently peacefully died. The Pitintininjara people live in the Warbatton Ranges in central Western Australia and survive in their 60,000 year old ancient homeland to this day. You are both beautiful ladies, you would find the land down under very much to your liking.
4:34 "I was raised by the local tribe. I asked one of the tribal elders one day when I was born and he said, 'In the summertime.'" And given that aboriginal culture and language originally _developed_ in Australia, I suspect no aboriginal language has a word for "snow," so I imagine the change of seasons looks very different, there.
Share your thoughts, subscribe and give the video a 👍🏻💚
Great reaction to this 80s classic ladies.
I hope you plan to do the two sequels later on. My girlfriend saw all 3 of them last month and she enjoyed all of them. 🤠🐊

If you want to watch the most aussie movie ever made you need to watch the 90's classic The Castle
Hey Michelle & Nat have you girls saw any of the Mad Max movies? Hope you'll get round to checking them out one day, "Road Warrior" is the best one.
My thoughts... you two sisters are the best! And the most prettiest 😊❤
They were married in real life. I rode a ski lift in Aspen with them in the 90s. Could not have been nicer people!
For real? Wow, that must have been quite amazing. I heard that he's just as he is in the movie. Well mannered and a national treasure in Australia. I wasn't aware that they were married in real life though. From the movie, they are a great couple.

That's a great, funny speech, beginning to end. Hogan is an Australian legend and renowned for being a truly decent guy too.
Yes, the limo driver is Reginald Veljohnson, the dad from Family Matters. He was also Al in Die Hard.
And he was the jail guard in the original Ghostbusters as well.
Pretty sure he plays a cop of some kind in Turner and Hooch too.
@@Yugioh420yes.. He plays David Sutton who is training to take over for Scott (Hanks) who is planning to leave. He reprised the role, now the Captain, for the Disney+ series.
He and Paul Hogan played versions of themselves in "The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee" just a few years ago. Olivia Newton John and Chevy Chase were also in it.
He was a cop in Ghostbusters.@@MLJ7956
The second one is my favourite. More of a plot and equally entertaining.
They fell in love and got married because of meeting in this film. So the chemistry is 100% real.
Thanks, Michelle and Natalie! It's great to see larrikin representation! That's my kinda diversity!!😜
Wow! Thank you so much!
Thank you!!! Enjoyed the movie!!
It was just such a fun movie. Classic scene with that's not a knife! I liked the second one too!
I love this movie and the music is very underrated
The Mentals. INXS

Billiken, not pelican.
Billiken is an Australian mythical figure.
A pelican has little to do with Australia.
Any relation to Chicago mythical figure Bud Billiken?
@@user-mg5mv2tn8q I couldn't say.

Made for just $6 million US, it became the second highest grossing movie in the US in 1986, just behind Top Gun!
Oh, and Paul Hogan became so popular in America because of this that they invited him to be the host of the 1987 Oscars!
It was the highest-grossing film in Australian history, until it was surpassed a few years later by Young Einstein, starring Yahoo Serious. Makes you wonder why there are no reaction videos on UA-cam for Yahoo Serious films. Or not.
Crocodile Dundee is amazing after so many years 1 and 2. Paul Hogan is super fun and charming 🙂

Kickstarted a surge in interest in Australian culture in the US.
He is the Dad from Family Matters, also a cop in Die Hard and Ghostbusters. Man got around
Everyone else jumps at the Crocodile attack scene, but Michelle just had a look like "See? I told you!"🐊 😱🤣
I wonder how she would act in the “head in the hole” scene in “Jaws” 😂

Must see Dundee II, Michelle, along with snakes there are poisonous insects also. Cool reaction, from both of you, give five hoots.
Thanks!
Give him your wallet.
Why?
He has a knife.
Oh that's not a knife, THIS IS A KNIFE
Ah just kids having some fun
I absolutely loved this movie. It was great.
More like a love bite lol
Everywhere I went in the mid '80's: "Now that's a knife!" 🤣

Hooray! A reaction from my two favourite Sheilas! 😍
Its exactly what a movie is supposed to be. Entertaining.. no extra bs or extra fluff!
It was s huge movie in its day. It came out at the same time as Whrn harry met Sally. Both great romantic comedies
I love how he treats women and acts around them because us men usually don't do it the right way and we still act like we're 14 years ald someone
I firmly believe i am a better man today because of the fact i saw this movie so many times as a kid, as silly as that may sound.
Yes that was the Dad from Family Matters
9:15 due to over hunting the saltwater crocodile was on the endangered species list for the 70’s and 80’s, the kangaroo is so prolific that they are considered a pest and have to be culled from time to time.
The second movie is great too 🐊🐊
No2 is worth watching as well. The walkabout pub is still open and a great place for a beer 🍺
My dad who never went to the movies went to this. He loved it. Millions of fathers just like him filled the theatres. Hollywood didn’t make movies for middle aged guys. Nice job.

Iconic for its time and those 2 were really married after making this movie..❤

Hiked 500km through SW Australia in 2023. Met a lot of Europeans and 1 American. Met a few snakes, but the greatest experience of my life!😊
I forgot that Crocodile Dundee 1&2 were the last film John Meillon (Walter) did before he passed away in 1989 RIP John Meillon
They did lovingly reference him several times in the 3rd film, 'Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles'.
i first remember seeing him in 633 squadron
It's so great to see someone other myself mention John. What a delightful actor he was, and I'm ashamed to admit that I didn't know he passed in '89.
The publican in Wake In Fright.
The "white bats" were Sulphur Crested Cockatoos.
Brilliant reaction. I love your morals.
I think this was a film that was played regularly on British tv. Ive seen it alot as a kid, and thought i'd grown out of it. It's nostalgic, and i like your reactions to it though
Thank you! ❤
There are more.
I've watched this one and the second one many many times.
As we say in Texas; y'all be safe.
Yeah yeah I first started in the theaters and then a couple of times on TV. It's five out of five with me because of the cuteness aspect and the moments of action that are there but it's not over the top. It does have this two fishes out of water aspects but look at it this way when he is out of his water he handles himself much better than she does even though he does it in his own manner, the moral being that the basic open honest life stance when people live in harmony and concentrate on the things that really matter, the simpler way, seems a better way. Michael J.'s personality with awkward his awkward social skills win him more friends than enemies and she he falls into trouble, he still handles himself than the reporter or her fiancé would. On the other hand neither of the two would survive 3 days in the outback and it's pretty obvious how many friends the guy would make in Walkabout Creek. Fun, warm, exciting enough and shot on location - it's got all I want from a movie.
I love these movies, it's a great trilogy. The second is probably the best, but the third is a great ending.
First time stumbled across your reaction video. And immediately thought , i didnt know that Madeline Stowe and Rachelle Lefevre were doing reactions. Lol
LOL! Yes, just silly fun. 😃 Glad you enjoyed it. I enjoyed rewatching this one with you. Thanks for sharing it! You both look Lovely. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!!
Great feel good movie, this is the true as you say Romcom❤😂😂, never get tired of Mick, thanks for sharing 😊👍👏👏✌️🇺🇸
One of the funniest films ever ❤❤❤😅
I watched it as a double feature with Ferris Bueller at a drive in theater. I’ve seen it many times since. They were married in real life for many years.
I did see this film at the cinema. I liked the soundtrack too. Enjoyed your reactions to this fun film.
Thank you!!
I love part 2 it just “Needs Garlic “.
I grew up with Paul Hogan from the 70's with The Paul Hogan Show on TV and I think he did a great job with his first movie you must have known that he wrote the movie.
12:12 "Taking a pleasure bathe in crocodile infested water."
She wasn't bathing.
She was filling her canteen so she would have drinking water.
Her choice of apparel was more about the heat than the swimming opportunities.
I do find it a bit strange how many reactors to that scene act like she's incredibly stupid. Everyone in these areas relies on the water to survive so they'll need to get it when they can. And while we see all kinds of shows today with crocs and other dangerous animals, that wasn't very common at all back then. Most city people would have known very little about the dangers. The scene just shows how a city person shouldn't become arrogant and look down on the locals who have the knowledge. It's a way for her to gain more respect for him.
Saltwater Crocs don't live in Freshwater Billabongs like that.
The Sequel is worth a watch as well
Here's a recommendation for "Almost an Angel" (1990). Same actors as "Dundee" but different characters and story.
In the swimming scene, it always amuses me how many people forget what he said just minutes before... "Mineral water, means no Crocs." That limo driver WAS Carl from Family Matters. This is the only role I've ever seen him in where he didn't play a cop lol.
Sue’s one piece bathing suit NOT winning an Academy Award is the biggest Oscar snub of all time…If that bathing suit no longer exists, at least include it in the “In Memoriam” section. Such a shame that the academy disrespects diversity in such an ignorant and hurtful way.
Force Of Light Entertainment There's one movie I want to recommend not only because it's good but because as far as I know no one's reacted to it and I think it should be trending which is "Arthur" (1981).
5:38 I tried that a couple of weeks ago, when I was crossing a field with a herd of cows and a bull
I’ll get out of the plaster in about a month or so 😅
Back in the 80's. Everything was Australian. Music, movies, tv, couldn't escape it.
You have the Mad Max series, Mel Gibson
Quigley Down Under, Tom Selleck
Shrimp on the Barbi, Cheech Marin.
The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Muriel's Wedding.
Olivia Newton John 😢
Dundee was far bigger than any of them. Mad Max was successful, but it wasn't really mainstream.
that is the guy from family matters
It IS the dad from Family Matters and also in Die Hard with Bruce Willis
7:42 I believe it’s said that 8 out of ten of the deadliest snakes are found in Australia not even sure about insects or spiders 🤔🤔🤔🇺🇸🤠
When movies were fun. ❤
Yes!
suggestions for a first watch: My Man Godfrey 1936, His Girl Friday 1940, Bringing Up Baby 1938, and The Thin Man 1934
This was one of the first movies my wife and I saw together in the theater after we got married in 1986, so it always brings fond memories. We loved it and always enjoyed watching it on VHS and then DVD. It’s cute, it’s funny, and the two leads have great chemistry. It’s simple and even silly, but it’s loads of fun. It just works. Glad you enjoyed it!
Those are good memories!
Get on the right side of the road you pelican what a funniest part 😂
Everyone is probably going to say the same thing; this movie was a huge tourism campaign to get Americans to come to Australia. ❤
Crocodile Dundee is indeed not a masterpiece, but to this day, it remains one of my favorite feel-good films of the 80's. The writing and directing are uneven, but something isn't: Paul Hogan's charisma. Plus, that ending is soooo fucking sweet.
This movie was Huge in the 80's, 2 sequels followed.
Hello ladies,
Thanks for the fun watch. Been rewatching films with you for a little while now. This is a fun cute movie, with a lot of heart. I hope you will watch the sequel as I enjoyed it a lot as well, and it has more of a plot for you. Thanks for all the fun. take care!
Thank you!
The sequel to this starts in New York and then moves back to Australia. Then it is the New Yorkers that are the fishes out of water. It is often compared unfavourably with this film, but I think it was still an essential way to finish off the story, and still better than most sequels.
This classic romantic comedy was a huge hit in 1986 and is still as funny as ever. 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 ever in a romantic comedy.
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. He and his co-star actually got married after the movie was made.
He was (and is) a regular guy. He was a painter on the Sydney Harbour Bridge originally. He joked about appearing on a talent show where the judges were often quite nasty to contestants. He decided to go on the show and ridicule the judges instead. He appeared as a "tap-dancing knife-thrower". His act was a classic. He made fun of the judges, did a little shuffle dance, threw a bunch of knives on the floor, and walked off. It was so funny and popular, he was invited back and the rest is history. He became a regular on a current affairs program, giving an outbacker take on issues. He even had his own TV show for a while in the 70s and 80s (The Paul Hogan Show) which lasted for over 10 years and was very popular in the UK. In all of this, he displayed the "quintessential Aussie larrikin", which he also subsequently took into his movies.
The ''white bats'' were Sulphur-Crested Cockatoos ..
Thank you.
The Sequel is even better. The third movie wasn't as well received but wasn't hated either. There is a fourth docu-drama / comedy "The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee" (2020) which is definitely worth watching.
From back in the day when newspapers mattered. In 1980, the Sunday paper was 2 inches thick, today, about a quarter inch.
This black guy from metro was in Earth2 :)
Speaking of down under, Men at Work is a great Aussie band with some real hits.
It's a better movie 😂
4.75 hoots from this old man.🎉😂
En suramérica todos vimos esta pelicula, Paul Hogan es un personaje que hizo popular Australia desde los años 80s. La segunda parte es tan buena o mejor que la primera
You have to watch the second movie in this series. It is even more exciting!!!
It was a quaint movie when it came out and seemed original, but I think what happens is that when a movie shows slight success, it gets synthesized and the formula seems worn after you see its formula applied across other films. It still had a few moments of its own, "that's not a knife" for instance is practically immortalized.
The thing that was different about it is having the guy from the Australian outback which wasn't a typical character. He made the movie work. Since then, I suppose people have gotten used to all the copycats that act like him so it doesn't seem like anything. They don't realize that all the stuff they've seen is people imitating him.
@@stickman1742 The movie I can see as similar is Coming To America, not completely similar, but having a person from a different culture come and try to blend into the American culture.
Paul Hogan and Linda Koslowski met o. This movie and ended up getting married. I believe they were married for 25 years or so.
This was the first REALLY big hit we had at the movie theater I worked at when I was in High School. It was super popular for months.
Nice one again, ladies. Yes, 'cute' is as good a word as any.for this surprise novelty hit of 1986. As a longtime Australian resident now based in the UK, it holds a special place for me.
Paul Hogan, or 'Hoges', as he is affectionately known in Australia, a former Sydney Harbor Bridge painter and rigger, had been a TV sketch-and-standup national institution with his 'laddish' brand of humour for almost two decades and in his mid-forties when this deliberate attempt to exploit the foreign market with an 'authentic bush hero' stereotype was created, and the result emerged as the second-highest-grossing movie of that year, after 'Top Gun'. Hogan's laconic, earthy charm and rugged 'lived-in' good looks won over a wide demographic both domestically and abroad. In his own words: 'It's like the image the Americans have of us, so why not give them one?' Love wins out in the end both for the lead characters and the players (Hogan went on to marry Linda Kozlowski in real life, though they have now been divorced for some time).
I love the way Neville talks. I actually had kind of a crush on him. Crocks are hunted like alligators are in Florida and Louisiana. You get tags for the gators and you can only hunt that many and the hunting season is only a month.
Have no fear Dundee is here. That was great!!!!
Force Of Light Entertainment This was one of my dad's favorite movies so I watched it a lot growing up.
You should check out his Paul Hogan’s Comedy Show from the 70’s-80’s. He was hilarious! The Australian Benny Hill.
you girls are great ~ 4 hoots - this film was huge when I was little - really enjoyed re-watching it with you ❤❤
☺️❤️
Thank you 🤗
Im Australian so i know everything Paul Hogan.
You're right, simple plot but adorable movie, any time I saw it on the movie guide I would flip over to watch it.
Btw, where are you two from? I can't help but notice that y'all have a particular accent that I can't quite pinpoint, but I love it! Lol
That’s sweet! ❤ Tennessee
First movie I put on the screen as the theater projectionist in my town. The most terrible part of the job was I had to watch the entire movie by myself to make sure it was a good print ! (Used to show the movies in my high school classrooms.)
Definitely need to do the sequels. 2 compliments this perfectly
Hogues is a movie legend and funny as. The Aboriginal actor was David Gulpilli, funniest black fella you would ever want to meet and a really nice tribal man. After the success of the Dundee movies he returned to his tribal community where he recently peacefully died. The Pitintininjara people live in the Warbatton Ranges in central Western Australia and survive in their 60,000 year old ancient homeland to this day. You are both beautiful ladies, you would find the land down under very much to your liking.
❤❤
4:34 "I was raised by the local tribe. I asked one of the tribal elders one day when I was born and he said, 'In the summertime.'"
And given that aboriginal culture and language originally _developed_ in Australia, I suspect no aboriginal language has a word for "snow," so I imagine the change of seasons looks very different, there.
In Australia kangaroos are like their equivalent to deer in America. They have hunting seasons for them.
