Paul Hogan, the actor, wrote this movie. At the time he was a hugely popular actor in Australia... and he and Linda, the actress, actually got married after this.. the chemistry was real. There is a Part 2, which is also pretty good.
There are 3 of these
even the most stable chemistry..... eventually breaks down..... but their marriage did last 24 years..... and in Hollywood years that's about fifteen centuries.
Sad that she still dumped him though, really wish it lasted a bit more.
He wasnt an actor. He was a tv comedian.
Love your reaction to this.ya’ll have really good chemistry as well, and you both have a lot of depth. Excellent channel. Keep up the good work:)
The joke was he had seen TV twice in his life, and both times it was 'I Love Lucy' so he thought that was all you could see on TV.
Was it? I just assumed it was revering a black and white screen with some people moving around. Like he just saw a couple of seconds both times and lost interest.
Now you guys have to see Crocodile Dundee 2 it's even better
Lol.....Oh you youngsters....at 15:03 he was asking Mick if he had hooked up with Sue.
Yeah that's the universal sign of DID YOU GIVE HER ONE
You have to overlook them. Modern kids do not speak innuendo that well. ;)
Hehe not everyone understands the old sign language anymore. He was asking if he had SLEPT with Sue, lets be precise here ;)
Right? How does someone not understand lol
yeah, I was surprised, yet not surprised, at how many references they didn't get.
Yeah, you have to watch "Crocodile Dundee 2." Without disclosing much of a spoiler, whereas this movie started in Australia and ends up in New York, "Dundee 2" starts in New York and ends up back in Australia.
I thought it was Clint Eastwood. 😁
The sequel is better than average. 😉
Smoking used to be allowed everywhere. Work, doctors’ offices, theaters, airplanes. Even had smoking areas at high schools.
Yep, even hospitals, when my grandma was dying in 1997 I'd spend time with family in the smoking room down the hall from her room.
@@pencilnecked1579 It's funny, because some hospitals still have the ashtrays in areas that haven't been remodeled in decades. I spotted a few of them when my wife went in for open heart surgery back in 2020. They were attached to the trash bins at the elevators. Considering how long ago smoking was banned in hospitals, it took me by surprise seeing them.
Yeah I remember smoking in pubs and clubs, although looking back on it now they must have been full of smoke lol.
@@antrimlariot2386 I’m pretty sure you could smoke in US cinemas until 1976. Even after it was banned in the theater proper it was still allowed in lobbies and lounges.
Reference is a NY Times article Dec. 15, 1976
@@Dave-jm3zf I remember people’s offices being full of smoke into the 1990’s. And everyone’s car.
It’s what people did before smart phones.
Sheila means "woman" in australian slang
"Sheila" does have a random, average, everyday, regular, run of the mill, off the rack, dime a dozen, one's as good as another, girl next door but not good enough to bring home to mother, type thing.
It doesn’t.. you’re clearly not Australian
@@VictorLugosi says the guy who has never been called a Sheila.
@@JuandeFucaU Gawd Almighty!. I dunno where you hail from, but your every word and meaning is utter rfubbish!.
@@JuandeFucaUand in the french version,it s Géraldine lol
18:00 The joke is “I Love Lucy” has been repeated endlessly in reruns that the same show happened to be on when he saw a TV the first time and he just assumed that’s what TV is: just this show.
Let me recommend the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy. It's a unique film about a native San tribesman in Africa walking to the edge of the world to give a glass Coca Cola bottle back to the gods. He comes across characters with their own subplot, and a good story is born.
Such a good recommendation! The second one is very good too.
They would love that movie. Great recommendation.
YES! do The Gods Must Be Crazy.
Heck yeah! I don’t think I’ve seen The Gods Must be Crazy since the 80’s!
@@diamondstud322I bought it quite a number of years ago.
The joke about the Harlem Warlords meant he was once a member of a street gang
Love your reaction. His looking at the watch and then letting her think he told the time from the sun was another colorful embellishment for the tourist. On a personal level, he was pretty honest.
The bit about I Love Lucy on TV meant Mick hadn't watched TV in 30 years, and Lucy happened to be on again.
Paul Hogan basically exploded on the world stage with this film. It was a huge hit. Paul was nominated for the Best Original Screenplay Oscar for this film, and he also received a Best Actor Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy, and BAFTA nominations for Screenplay and Actor. Linda Kozlowski (Sue) was nominated for Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe.
Paul and Linda married in 1990 and divorced in 2014. Together they made 2 more Crocodile Dundee movies and one other film called Almost An Angel.
Linda has only a handful of film credits, due mainly to the types of roles that she was either offered or would audition for. She felt they weren't challenging and didn't have enough going for them. So after Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (CD3), she retired from acting in 2001. Ironically, she was a graduate of one of the most prestigious drama schools in the world, The Julliard School's Acting Program. That program has only 20 candidates a year, and many are not invited back after each year with 2 year MFA or 4 year BFA programs. She was in the same class as Val Kilmer, Group 10. A list of graduates of the program is beyond impressive, even those who didn't graduate is stellar.
Paul Hogan and Linda Koslowski fell in love on set and eventually got married
and divorced
That bit in the subway is how sheepdogs get across a flock of sheep when they're in the shearing pens and they're are packed in tight.
I love that so many reactors are posting reactions to this movie. It is one of my personal favorites, and I just hope these folks love it as much as I do. The music especially has always been so incredible to me...just so perfect.
lol, they all follow Cassie at Popcorn in Bed. It’s effective. I found 3 more reactors I like from “spinoffs”
@@portalinaahahahah they dont. it's the GOD ALMIGHTY ALGORITHM
Yes, that's true, but it took quite a while, because I know that I suggested it to some reactors like here (Nick), PIB, TBR Schmitt etc. 1-2 years ago and only when someone made the start, it suddenly became really many in the last 4 weeks. Because the movie is simply great and I've loved it since I was 11 when it was released.
You should definitely watch Part 2.
when Wally picked them up he was pretty much asking Mick in a non-verbal way did he have any sex and i guess Mick wasn't going to kiss and tell
Fun Fact 1: The big finale scene where Mick walks on people's heads and shoulders to get to Sue was inspired by the way Australian sheepdogs run across the backs of sheep when they're all packed tightly together after being herded into their holding pens to await shearing or medical treatments.
Fun Fact 2: You may have noticed that the signage on Wally's truck read, "Never Never Tours." Never never is another term for outback, usually used to refer to the most remote and inhospitable parts of the outback. Using it in a sentence you might say something like, "I'm heading out into the never never on a camping trip next weekend."
Fun Fact 3: "Sheila" just means woman or girl. It's not derogatory in and of itself, though just like woman or girl it does at times get used in a derogatory/sexist manner. For example, a girl/woman might have a man tell her she can't do something because, "You're just a sheila," or a man might say to another man something like, "Stop complaining, you sound like a big sheila." But yeah, it's not derogatory unless used in that typically sexist/derogatory way in which the terms "girl" and "woman" sometimes are.
Fun Fact 4: Today, all Australian native animals are protected by law. There are two species of crocodile in Australia, the smaller freshwater crocodile and the massive (tourist-eating, haha) saltwater crocodile. During the middle of the 20th century they were hunted to near extinction across their Australian range which saw the relevant States and Territories pass legislation to protect them throughout the early and mid 1970's. Since then their numbers have recovered strongly, with an estimated 100 000 freshwater and 100 000 - 200 000 saltwater croc's currently prowling the waterways of the Australian tropics. There are now commercial crocodile farms where croc's are grown and harvested for their skins and meat. A limited number of licenses are issued each year for said farms to collect a quota of eggs from the wild to help restock the farms (some breeding occurs within the farming system also). Similarly, kangaroos and wallabies were extensively hunted across Australia until protected a few decades ago. They were never hunted to the extremely low numbers that croc's were, but since protection their numbers have bounced back to something like pre-hunting levels also. Today there are a limited number of commercial kangaroo hunting licenses issued with set quotas, allowing wild 'roos to be harvested for their meat and fur.
Dundee's attitude towards the world and people is something that we had decades ago and is what the world needs now to right itself. People need to treat each other better. This movie was perfect!
We didn't just lose that by accident, but through the very astute efforts of people who divide and corrupt for their own profit -- the advocacy and activist classes. The ones seeking to politicize everything that we used to reach across party lines, or not even notice party lines, to enjoy with each other.
Unity's bad for business, to these types, and they know just the slick, seductive lines to use to entice people into a victimized, helpless, stressed mentality, with the only 'out' being their ideological prescriptions (i.e., 'lies').
When we've gone in the past from "I may not agree with what you say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it," to hating and canceling someone, trying to ruin them, for not being 'doctrinally perfect', it's far from conspiracy-mongering to suggest 'follow the money'. Societal upheaval on a scale like what we've seen in just a few decades doesn't just happen.
How to combat it? Focus on being our best, to ourselves and to each other. Bypass online platforms, get out, and socialize in person. Consider faith, which was the root of all those good old traditional behaviors we've lost.
lol you folks are a sweet young couple. Just an old dude enjoying your reactions. Keep it up
This is one of my favorite reaction channels. Quynh's laughter in this one is GOLD. So glad you enjoyed this hidden gem. I hope you learned some things from the other comments!
I was born in 1985 and this is may be my first movie memory.
You two are absolutely great. I love it!
Keep it up!
The Castle and Muriel's Wedding are also great Aussie comedy classics I think you'd enjoy.
Absolutely! To that I’d _The Dish_ and _Priscilla: Queen of the Desert._
I'd add Strictly ballroom
‘I don’t know what Dundee means’ then shows a clip of Brain Cox, a famous actor from the city of ….Dundee hehe.
Ca. 150.000 citizens in Scotland...
Classic, fun fish-out-of-water.
One of the most charming movies and characters I can remember from the 80's. I still love the first two movies. The coke "netty pot" scene just slays me every time!
I love watching you guys in your reaction videos because you both have so much fun doing it and laugh a lot, keep 'em rolling!
The second one is also pretty good.
In Australia they use dogs to herd sheep. If the sheep are in a pen and the dog need to get to front of the flock they will jump up and walk to the front on the sheeps' backs. That is what the last scene was all about.
Greetings from NZ🇳🇿 - As a kiwi, this film is an absolute classic & treasure from Aust🇦🇺 , respects!
You should watch more comedies. You laugh beautifully together!
Cheers!
About the "Bushman Trick"... A story that happened in my family. During World War II, while my grandfather was in the field, a hawker showed up at my grandmother's house, who was living alone in her house with my mother. She was a very petite but determined woman. My grandfather knew his family was in good hands because we had always owned very well-trained German Shepherd dogs. This dealer was harassing my grandmother and my grandmother threatened to set the dog on him if he didn't leave. He just laughed and promised to "show off" her dog when the opportunity arose and then left. A few months later, he showed up again and surprised my grandmother and my still toddler mother in their kitchen, with the completely inactive dog in tow, trotting behind him as if he were my grandfather. He approached my grandmother and mockingly asked what was wrong with the dog. My grandmother, first turned white as a sheet and then bright red with anger. . She became a fury, grabbed a large kitchen knife and chased him out of the house and chased him out into the street. He never showed up again. The dog was never disobedient again. My grandfather returned shortly after the end of the war after escaping French captivity by jumping into a river while crossing a bridge and he was gone. He just didn't feel like working in a French coal mine...
Wow this is a popular movie this week.😂
So many reactors watching it...
Pretty curious 😂
As an Australian, it gave me so much pleasure to see how you enjoyed the film. My wife and I saw it when it came out and it was a blockbuster - very had to get into screenings, as it was so popular. Paul Hogan was a maintenance worker on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and what you see in the film is just him. He was a bit of a joker and his friends encouraged him to go on a local TV talent show in 1970. From that, he appeared on a current affairs show and then had his own comedy show. We all knew about the upcoming release of Crocodile Dundee and no-one was disappointed when they went to see it.
I sincerely hope that you react to Crocodile Dundee 2, I believe that you and Quynh will like it too. I've really been enjoying watching the two of you.
I loved this movie as a kid! So happy to see so many reactions to it lately. Hopefully you guys will react to the sequels.
Paul Hogan is exactly like Dundee apart from growing up in the bush. Super likeable charismatic guy.
Wally was played by John Mellion who in his day was one of the great icons of Australian cinema.
And everyone who lived through the 70s & 80s remember his voice on commercials for Victoria bitter beer.
What Mike is doing to the cocaine guy was done when I was a kid, only that instead of cocaine in the water you put eucalyptus (either leaves or extract), and yes, it was a remedy to clear a stuffy nose.
Always give me a tear at the end when the music kicks in at the end when Dundee lifts himself up and walks on top of people to get to the woman he loves.
Being from Dundee in scotland it was funny hearing it as a surname when this came out
Thanks for spelling out Quynh's name for us! 😀👍
I saw this in Australia while we were in port in Perth for Christmas, 1986. So it def came out in 1986. :)
This was a Great reaction. You need to react to 'Back to School', with Rodney Dangerfield.
You two make a great couple! Awesome reaction!
I would love to see some more reactions to classic Australian movies eg The Castle, Rabbit Proof Fence, Australia, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Muriel's Wedding.
Great reaction 😎
Thats not knife 🔪 this is knife 🗡️
That guy dressed up like a sheila 😂 look at that 💃🏻
That’s not a knife, that’s a spoon…
The unaccredited inspiration for Dundee was Rodney William Ansell an Australian cattle grazier and a buffalo hunter. Described to be from "the bush", Ansell became famous in 1977 after he was stranded in extremely remote country in the Northern Territory, and the story of his survival for 56 days with limited supplies became news headlines around the world.
Fun reactions! Please continue and watch part II! It is very exciting and funny!
Greetings from Australia! I'm glad you enjoyed this classic Aussie movie, there are a lot more to check out, you could start with 'Strictly Ballroom' (1992) , 'The Big Steal' (1990) and 'Young Einstein' (1988) - I hope you are having a wonderful day! Karen 🌷
Aussie Sheep Dogs run on the back of sheep, hence the last scene.
Along this same vein, I recommend Romancing The Stone. Super cute and in this genre.
Great another video thanks so much!
The I Love Lucy bit was just that it has been on for, what now, 70+ years. He was like, yep, that's what was on it then like that's all was on it. The bit with the watch was just him messing with her over the lore of the bushman. Crocs/alligators have a kill spot at the base of the skull. Even a .17 cal rifle shot, or a a decent ice pick will do the job, or a good knife of decent length.
This film does not look like it was made in the 80s.
It looks like a mid 90s film.
I always get some good laughs watching this one and the second one. You guys are so fun to watch, you are lively and entertaining. It would be cool to see you watch the second one. Great reaction.
0:14 The name "Dundee" is made up of two parts: the common Celtic place-name element dun, meaning 'fort'; and a second part that may derive from a Celtic element, cognate with the Gaelic dè, meaning 'fire'.
Dundee is a coastal city on the Firth of Tay estuary in eastern Scotland.
Dundee is the fourth-largest city in Scotland.
Dundee's nickname is the 'City of Discovery', owing to its previous industrial business, it was known as the 'City of Jute, Jam and Journalism'. In 2014, Dundee was recognised by the United Nations as the UK's first-ever UNESCO City of Design. The city has a population of around 150,000 people.
10:45 : that swimsuit is iconic ^^
I hope that you will continue with this series.
You didn't mention recognizing Reginald Velljohnson(the limo driver). He is probably best known for "Family Matters" and as Al Powell in "Die Hard." I last saw him in "The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee" a few years ago, in which he and Paul Hogan played versions of themselves.
An Absolute Classic!!!!!!!!!!
bloke means man sheila means womam. when wal was doing the fist pump he was asking mick if he got a root or not. mick was too polite to say or at least didn't want to admit he didn't.
Root, for those coming in late, is slang for having s*x.
Omg, I saw this at the movie theater with my parents when I was a kid. Yes, I’ve watched again and again. It’s so good.
I only know what day of the week it is when my aunt calls me...every couple of weeks.
The days just kinda blur together for the last couple of yrs.
The character of Mick/Crocodile Dundee is inspired by a combination of several real people. Who were outback adventures and some really lived with aboriginal tribes.
I watched this SO MUCH as an Aussie kiddo, and I didn't think it was going to hold up, but ya know what, it did. Sure, there's a few thing we probably wouldn't film now-days, but the comedy still hits. I'm pleasantly surprised. Def have to do the sequel. 👍
When this movie was made, "I Love Lucy" reruns were on TV several times a day. It would be as if, today, someone said they haven't watched TV in ten years, turns on the set and a "Big Bang Theory" rerun comes on, and they say, "Yep, that's what I saw."
the end scene where he climbs over people is a reference to, in Australia, when a sheep dog is penned in by a thick heard of sheep in a yard, the sheep dog will jump onto a sheep and run across the sheeps backs to get where the farmer wants him...
Great reaction the second movie is good too
Thank you, that was a beautiful reaction. This movie had the perfect balance of innocence, comedy and love. Crocodile Dundee II is also fantastic x
Thanks for sharing your reactions to this film, I really loved it back in the day. Even had a bit of a crush on Paul!!
A lot of people miss the fact that Mick walking over the heads of the crowd is a reference to the popular image of Australian sheep station workers (and their dogs) walking across the backs of thousands of tightly penned sheep.
If you want the quintessential aussie movie you should check out The Castle
Mic's walking on people's heads in the subway comes from sheep dogs in Australia when herding sheep - to get from one end of the flock to the other they jump on the sheeps' backs and run across them to get where they want to be.
You'll enjoy Romancing the Stone, and Jewel of the Nile (the sequel)
Back of the skull is a vunerable spot on a crocodile. Some big cats (Jaguars/Panthers) have learned they can instantly kill with one bite in the right spot. Not sure but I believe Jaguars hunt Caymens.
Every animal with a spinal cord has that weak spot. It's the connection of the brain and the spinal cord. If you sever the spinal cord from the brain, it kills the animal instantly.
"Never never" has a meaning thats hard to translate for non-Australians but it, basically, refers to a place where no-one is where you go for spiritual reasons - although a lot of people just mistake it for the outback. So Mick Dundee mocking "Never Never Tours" as meaning "never go out with us or you'll never come back' is very funny. But its a joke most foreigners will miss and even the newer generations of Australians, who werent raised on the old stories, will likely miss that.
And, just to be clear, if you see a water buffalo in Australia, DONT try to hypnotise it, because it will probably kill you. It may surprise you to know that quite a bit of your burger meat comes from these guys.
Definitely check out part two - it was really fun and creative.
As an Australian Bloke, I don't need to say anything about this movie. (bloody brilliant!). but I must say the following. The Couple here precisely mirrored my reactions when I first saw
the movie. Their reactions are exactly the same as mine!.
22:00
Aussie Italian drinking. Love it.
I love the Crocodile Dundee movies! I hope you're gonna watch the second one too, which I actually like more than this one
Watch Almost an Angel with Paul Hogan. You'll like that one too.
Some light comedies:
When Harry Met Sally
LA Story
A Fish Called Wanda
My Great Grandma T had her neighbors bull convinced she was bigger than him. She was maybe 4’10” and used a hunk of wood as a walking stick. My mom told me that one day a group of guys couldn’t get the bull in a trailer for a vet visit, so the neighbor had to ask my great grandma for help… she walked over, grabbed its nose ring, looked it in the eyes, and dragged it to the trailer. She was an intense lady. I remember being only 8 or 9 the first time I walked through the bull’s pen … her chicken coup was through a couple gates. Even though that bull would on the far side, I hated it! But my gg T would tell me to stop whining and get it done 😳 … so yeah, I kinda believe someone could do that to bull.
Dundee is also a city in Scotland. Just over an hour's drive north of the capital, Edinburgh.
You should really watch Crocodile Dundee 2 as well. It's a seriously underrated sequel.
I remember watching this when it first came out.
Yes, back in the day, we could smoke anywhere, even on an airplane.
The trick with the bowl of water is supposed to work if you have a head cold. You put vicks in boiling water,cover your head and hold it over it. It will clear your head
This was a sleeper hit, so fun.
I recommend Breaking Away (1979).
I loved this movie. It made me want to visit Australia for decades. Never did get there, though.
You, didn't notice that Richard didn't even give Sue a chance to say "yes"?
I never seen you two laugh so hard!
Love it. 😅
Part 2 please 🙏. Love this reaction 👏
I have just recently rediscovered this movie. Watched it when it came out and liked it but forgot how good it was.
Everyone loves Mick, great fun wholesome movie, thanks for sharing 😊👍✌️🇺🇸
Sheila is a woman in Australia.
It’s not used these days except by the older generation males.
Crocodile Dundee 2 is one of the best sequels to a hit movie ever. 2X FUN 2X THE Adventure 2x The Romance 10x more action and drama!!!! A MUST SEE SOON PLEASE. Hope you watch "QUIGLEY DOWN UNDER" Avery under-rated Australian Western.
