This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

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.

The third and like a lot of other third entries, the worst. This one didn't gather my interest when seeing a preview, as I could tell then and there, this was pretty bad. With a 13 year gap, since the previous Dundee, this one has Dundee and son going to Los Angeles. When visiting a theme park and movie set for some reason, they stumble across a hidden operation, a front for counterfeit art. Laughs are scarce, I must say, and Hoges's new compadre, moustache and all, was an interesting addition. The best bit is when the two are back in Oz, sitting on a tree branch hovered about an infested croc lake, sthat naps, where they're chased by a crocodile. The drive through scene in America, gathers some small laughs too. Personally, I think Hoges should of been chomped up for making this. What a relief there is, though is thanks to some of the American stars. Thank god, primarily for the comic attributes of Paul Rodrigues as film extra in story, commenting on Dundee's back acting, befriending him. He was a welcome air of relief. Too was Jonathan Banks, as a baddie, while another one was played by the lesser known star, who was the lead of the solid drama thriller, Road Rage. Still it is entertaining for some unknown reason. I would call it entertainingly bad, as action outnumbers laughs, with the movie ending with that notorious Men at Work song. Grant Piro as the larger than life host of a theme park is a funny asset, with Rackman, back in Oz doing an Irish accent for some reason. The reasons I've stated for watching this, are the only reasons. They should make a Croc 4: I apologize. A very week and big drop since the last Croc instalment, that comes as a cheesily bad one.

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!

I remember seeing a short trailer on TV for this third instalment, I said to someone that it was meant to be rubbish, it was only years later I realised that was true to life, from director Simon Wincer (Free Willy). Basically Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee (Paul Hogan) and girlfriend Sue Charleton (Linda Kozlowski) have settled into a life living in Mick's home country of Australia, along with their son Mikey (Serge Cockburn). Sue has been contacted by her father who owns a newspaper, and he needs her to return home to America to help on an article, and Mick with Mikey in tow come along with her. They are now in Los Angeles, California, where the newspaper article leads Sue to a sleazy film producer, and Mick gets a job as a monkey wrangler at the Hollwood studio he owns. This is obviously an undercover thing, while at the same time there are the small occasions where Mikey and his father are the fish out of water like before. The big cover looks like a big drug deal, and it involves some pricey paintings, and in the end Mick foils the plan and stop the gangsters, and Mick and Sue with their son return to Australia to officially marry. Also starring Jere Burns as Arnan Rothman, Jonathan Banks as Milos Drubnik, Alec Wilson as Jacko, Gerry Skilton as Nugget O'Cass, Steve Rackman as Donk, David Ngoombujarra as Arthur, Aida Turturro as Jean Ferraro, Paul Rodriguez as Diego, Mike Tyson and George Hamilton. With the second film being made thirteen years before, and Hogan being sixty two years old, it was pretty obvious this might not work, it is a ridiculous story that repeats all the once charming laughs with the out of place outlander, and I agree not even the catchphrase "No worries, mate" sparks a smile, a boring and pointless comedy adventure. It was nominated the Razzie for Worst Remake or Sequel. Poor!
