Fluke_Skywalker Crocodile Dundee's third go 'round is actually a bit more generically entertaining than the somewhat leaden 'Crocodile Dundee II'. Here they dust off the fish out of water shtick again, substituting L.A. stereotypes for New York ones, but that kinda makes it feel freshish. Especially if you decide to watch the three films over consecutive days for some sad, completionist reason.They keep the Croc as a man of action thing from part II, but instead of drug dealers, he's facing off against art thieves. On paper that's a major downgrade, but the tone here is even more overtly family friendly than the moderately softened second film, and it actually almost kinda sorta works in fits and starts.This might be the most unnecessary sequel ever, but it's far from the worst.
bazmitch23 The first movie was good, the second was the same as the first and the third one was typical third movie syndrome like Spider-man 3, Karate Kid 3, Ninja Turtles 3 and so on.It's just like the first movie, only Mick goes to LA and acts like a fish out of water again. The shtick was getting dull.It is not funny or exciting at all. The scene where someone asks Mick "You're Australian, you must know Mel Gibson." and Mick says "Yeah, I know 'Mal' Gibson." How is that funny?Mike Tyson's cameo was pointless and unfunny. The "Mick, Mike and Mikey" gag is not funny.And the whole "Lethal Agent" thing just bored me. The whole movie just bores me. The WGA didn't give Paul a writing credit on the film because they probably knew that this film sucked and didn't want Paul to take the blame.We haven't seen Paul Hogan do anything since '01. If he is going to make a comeback, he is going to have to do something spectacular. A Croc Dundee 4? On your bike!
FlashCallahan Mick Dundee is back from the eighties, and this time, more hilarity ensues with typecast European villains played by people who played bad guys in the eighties in more notable films.The plot involves some sort of bad movie franchise (no pun intended) which is acting as a front to steal some rare paintings.Obviously Mick gets in the centre of it all, whilst getting involved in fish out of water scenarios, including gay bars, muggings, and talking about good old Mal Gibson.Strange considering he did this fifteen years prior. Well if it ain't broke, don't fix it.And this is the motto for Paul Hogan, and although it is a case of diminishing returns and same old same old, Hogans Dundee is such an endearing screen prescience, it's hard not to like.The story isn't up to much, and the apart from the main cast, the rest are just paper cut out Hollywood types, but it works, and heaven knows how, because it shouldn't.If you are a fan of the original movie, you will lap this up, otherwise, you will just balk at the idea, and not appreciate the cheesiness of it all.
Sean Kaye I found the script to be just one cliché after the next. Many reviewers here say it is good 'Family fun'. If I had kids I might understand what that means but it seems to mean 'non-offensive pablum for the masses' and that's about all it is. Watching it reminded me of seeing the 1978 Gilligan's Island movie which was very depressing. Paul Hogan was about 47 when he did the first Crocodile movie but he was about 62 in this one so it's just not believable -- after 15 years he's still wearing the same black hat, has the same naivety about city-slickers. The jokes and script are very poorly written. It's like they hired writers that normally write for teen TV sitcoms like 'The Suite Life'. BLECH! Don't waste your time.
