Product Description
From Amazon.com
This 1986 comedy out of Australia is so old-fashioned in its romantic charm that one can't help but wonder what it would have looked like with Clark Gable and Carole Lombard in the leads. On the other hand, it's hard to imagine anyone besides Paul Hogan as the title character, a laid-back Aussie tracker who shows an American reporter (Linda Kozlowski) around bush country, then accompanies her to New York City. Sure, Hollywood has done the fish-out-of-water scenario to death in the last 20 years, and while this film has sufficient sport with the gimmick, it is largely driven by the principal characters and their developing love affair. Hogan cowrote the script and director Peter Faiman evokes the goofy, enchanted air of screwball comedies. The climactic scene, set in a subway station with scores of bystanders witnessing a conversation about relationship commitment, feels like vintage Capra. --Tom Keogh

This review is from: Crocodile Dundee (Widescreen) (DVD)
It's old (1986) and it's schmaltzy and old-fashioned, but Crocodile Dundee is still worth watching if you missed it first time around. Paul Hogan, fresh from Down Under, is so perfectly cast that it quickly becomes apparent that he's not really acting at all: this is just who he is. He plays a relaxed Aussie tracker who shows an American reporter around his native bush country, then accompanies her to her own turf in New York City. It's the old fish-out-of-water theme, and Hogan and co-star Linda Koslowski (whom he later married, in real life), play it off perfectly.Pure confection, but also pure fun.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Outstanding Movie!,

This review is from: Crocodile Dundee (VHS Tape)
This was one of the more entertaining movies that you will ever see.A news reporter from New York played by Linda Kozlowskigoes to Australia and discovers Crocodile Dundee ably played by Paul Hogan. She takes him to New York.The show is then on.He is able to see the many sights and sounds of New York City. His reaction to some of these situations is very humorous and helps to make this a very good movie.You are able to recall some of the humorous moments as a result of Crocodile Dundee and New York Any time someone thinks of Australia Crocodile Dundee will pop into your mind.The newspaper reporter-heiress winds up falling in love with Dundee.An awesome movie that you will enjoy.
