THE CROCODILE DUNDEE TRILOGY at HOLLYWOOD TEEN MOVIES

"Crocodile Dundee" is "Tarzan Goes To New York" for a new generation. Instead of the loin-clothed jungle man from Africa, Dundee is an outback crocodile hunter from Down Under. Michael J. Crocodile Dundee has become a legend in his own land and now its time for that legend to take on "The Big Apple". When news of Dundee's near-death battle with a ferocious crocodile hits the states, New York reporter Sue Charlton is sent to Australia to find and interview the bravest and most fearless crocodile hunter in the land. When Sue convinces Dundee to come back with her to New York, the fun starts and never lets up for a minute as the Aussie bushman tries to adapt to the fast-paced nature of big city lifestyle. Dundee maybe about to experience a culture shock but so will New York when the bushman from down under works his magic on the inhabitants of this great metropolis. One thing is for sure when Dundee hits town the city that never sleeps will never be the same place again. Also, it is only a matter of time before Dundee's old-fashioned charm takes hold of Sue's emotions.

"Crocodile Dundee" is the ultimate fish out of water comedy. It was a mega-hit worldwide, grossing over $174 million dollars at the US box office and made an international star of former Sydney Harbour bridge rigger Paul Hogan who is brilliant in his portrayal of the crocodile hunter with a sense of humour. Australian sensation Paul Hogan is a natural talent and his chemistry with Linda Kozlowski is spot on in this romantic comedy adventure. At the Golden Globe Awards Paul Hogan won the award for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy/Musical. "Crocodile Dundee" was also honoured with an Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay at the annual Academy Awards. The film's outstanding script is riddled with memorable quotes, the most famous one taking place during an attempted mugging, "That's not a knife, this is a knife". "Crocodile Dundee" is easily one of the best comedies to come out of the 1980's and comedic genius Paul Hogan has created a simple but honourable character that oozes old-fashioned charm, innocence and likeability.

Everybody's favourite bushman Michael J. Crocodile Dundee is back in the long-awaited sequel to the original smash hit "Crocodile Dundee". This time round the story continues from where the first one left off. We see Mick living in New York with his journalist girlfriend Sue. Dundee is somewhat more settled but is still battling to cope with his new environment. When vicious drug peddlers murder Sue's ex-husband, she becomes the next target after they discover that she has copies of incriminating photos. To protect his love from harm, Dundee takes Sue back to his homeland Down Under, where he is more able to inflict his own brand of justice on the hoods should they continue to pursue them. A lot of the fun in this adventure is seeing Mick, in his own environment, displaying his outback skills while disposing of the villains. With "Crocodile Dundee II" action had a new name and the bushman from down under became a larger than life action hero. "Crocodile Dundee II", although still very funny was more action orientated than the first film and was not as successful as the original but was nevertheless a blockbuster, grossing over $109 million at the US box office.

"Crocodile Dundee In L.A." kicks off in high gear, beginning with a close up of a crocodile's eye and then continuing with a beautiful montage of Australian wildlife before the cameras turn to our hero Michael J. Crocodile Dundee who is seen sitting in his canoe, sharpening his now famous giant knife, while a monstrous crocodile lurks beneath the murky waters. The giant croc attacks suddenly and tears Mick's boat to pieces forcing Mick to jump for his life onto a tree branch. When his mate Jacko comes to the rescue the inevitable also happens to him. To add to the fun a group of tourists just happen to pop along to see Australia's most famous crocodile hunters perched up on a tree like two frightened children. This opening sequence is easily one of the best in the entire trilogy.

In this third instalment of the Dundee trilogy we get two Dundee's for the price of one when Paul Hogan's Crocodile hunter mate Jacko (Alec Wilson) joins him in this L.A. adventure. This time round its 12 years later and our happy couple, Mick and Sue now have a son Mikey Dundee in the form of Serge Cockburn. Sue's father who needs her to help out at his L.A. newspaper branch calls the trio to L.A. The fun starts when Dundee and son have to fill in their time while Sue is working. The two get up to some mischief at Venice Beach, at the local film studio and they create havoc on the L.A. freeway when Dundee decides to stop his vehicle to attend to an injured skunk. The hilarity doesn't let up when Dundee's Australian sidekick, Jacko, arrives from Down Under. Mick decides to treat Jacko to a night on the town by taking him to a 5-star restaurant meal at Wendy's followed by a personally guided sight seeing tour of L.A.'s flashy nightlife. Paul Hogan puts in another charismatic performance and his real-life wife Linda Kozlowski continues to look radiant in the role that made her famous. Look out for Hollywood celebrity George Hamilton and boxing giant Mike Tyson in small cameo appearances.

"Crocodile Dundee in LA" is a fitting finale to a great trilogy of films. It ends in style when Mick Dundee and Sue Charlton finally wed, appropriately, in the Australian outback. The ending is complimented by a superb re-mix of the Australian pop classic "Down Under" performed by Men at Work over the closing credits. All in all, the "Crocodile Dundee Trilogy" is great old-fashioned family entertainment at its best and a rarity among today's computer generated special effects films.
