It is a performances centric movie

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

I first saw this movie as a kid, so my opinion might be skewed, but I loved the movie then and I love this movie now. It's in some ways better than the original, has great moments of humor, has a very entertaining story line, and has such a good ending. For whatever stretches of the imagination there are, compared to how absurd many modern movies are, I see no reason not to give this movie some slack and just enjoy it. So sit back, lighten up, and you'll thoroughly enjoy this movie.

Mick and Sue continue where they left off in "'Crocodile' Dundee". New York drug lords are pursuing Sue for having solid evidence against them for murder, so for her safety, Mick takes her back to Australia. When the gangsters follow them, Mick demonstrates his outback skills once more. Crocodile Dundee 2 although it's not better than the original in terms of humor it's better in terms of action the train station scene or when he jumped from his apartment with a rope around his waist and got inside another apartment and his skills in the jungle those things totally won me over and especially that scene when he tries to call his friends and you see the sun which at the time is afternoon or something like that i'm not sure and the scene looked so beautiful it was the 80's man. Crocodile Dundee II still packs the same elements of the first film but expands it in terms of character development around Mick but also in terms of action which there is a lot trust me PG action but a lot of nice tricks for him to defeat all of this guys.

After the success of the first Crocodile Dundee the producers and the story writer Paul Hogan went to work to make another movie two years after the first and named it Crocodile Dundee II. The problem with this Crocodile Dundee is that the movie feels like it is being shoved down your throat and the whole thing looks coins the phrase, "We have seen it all before". The movie wasn't half bad it just had no point everything that happened practically had no purpose, and when something has no purpose it is just a waste.The acting here is no better than the first, but now that we are all familiar with the Dundee charm, the writers decided to take him back to outback Australia so that we can see the bushman in him. This was suppose to bring in more action like adventure into the whole movie package, but what it just did was fill up so many minutes with unrealistic action scenes that you feel like fast forwarding to the whole thing.The comedy here was out of sync; the whole idea of pairing Dundee with a Colombian drug lord and making the drug lord and his men look like just pure miscreants is not my idea of a well thought out antagonist. The movie lacked a lot of life and the makers decided to do a reverse, the setting started out in New York City then Dundee and Sue went to Australia a familiar turf for Dundee while he dealt with the bad guys.The movie plot is about our duo love birds Dundee (Paul Hogan) and Sue (Linda Kozlowski) who get mixed up with a Colombian drug lord, who had his picture taken when he killed someone by Sue's ex husband. The ex then sent the film to Sue and the drug dealer found out then kidnapped Sue, all for him to find out that Dundee had the film.Now Dundee has to find a way to stay alive and save the love of his life.The movie was not a critical success but it was a huge commercial success, the $15.8 million production cost brought in over $239 million dollars, and it kept the Dundee name on our lips for a while, and making Hogan richer. But then the producers felt like milking the franchise some more so 13 years later in 2001 a new Dundee film was done starring also Hogan and Kozlowski, the new film failed both critically and commercially.So after you are done watching the first Crocodile Dundee you may be tempted to see this misfit, so if you get the chance maybe you should. If you don't get that chance, use your time for something more productive.www.lagsreviews.com

Yes, this is one of those sequels that came out rather quickly following the surprise success of its predecessor. Usually when they release a film so quickly they either literally had a script lined up and ready to film, or they make almost the same film only changing this and that around. Well this movie was most certainly the latter, however, I thought they did a pretty good job. The first film went from out of place person in Australia to out of place person in New York and this one does the opposite. Which I liked, cause I thought the Australia scenes of the first film were more entertaining than yet another film set in the most overshot city in the world New York. Sorry, I have seen it quite enough on the big screen. They do a good job of finding a reason for Crocodile and the love of his life to have to return to the outback as a drug dealer is on their heels and what better place to go than to a place Crocodile knows like the back of his hand and the people pursuing them do not know at all. Still, there is a lot of sameness to this one as some of the same jokes are recycled which happens a lot in comedy sequels even today. Still, it was an okay film, a lot like the first film if you were to watch it backwards.
