5.0 out of 5 stars I can't believe some people haven't seen this film yet, 26 Jul 2002
By A Customer
One of the classic comedies of all time. Aussie star Paul Hogan creates the character of Crocodile Dundee, the man from the outback who thinks and acts like the Aborigines and ends up in New York. From trying to say Howdy to everyone on Fifth Avenue, just as he would back home, to taking on the natives who try mugging him (..the classic line "now THAT'S what I call a knife")Dundee makes friends and enemies all the time whilst treating the city like his own backyard. Linda Koslowski (later to become Mrs. Hogan) was stunning in her role as a reporter bringing back the Crocodile man for an exclusive interview after he saved her life in the outback. The music by Peter Best is amongst my favourite ever soundtracks (Crocodile Dundee II is even better, although Film 3 failed to live up to the two others which are both classic comedies in every sense with decent storylines thrown in for good measure.) Pride of place in my collection with Peter Sellers' Pink Panther, Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Time For a Reappraisal?, 18 May 2007
By William J. Walker "Billyjay" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This film is not considered 'cool' these days due mainly, I think, to lazy TV schedulers who will run a butchered version of the film on Sunday afternoons because it's a 'good family film', rather than showing the unedited version at a sensible time in the evening. I've caught this film on TV about four times and on each occasion it was in a poorly cut version. This DVD seems, so far as I can tell, to be complete.
The film deserves to be put alongside the best comedies of any era and should be regarded as one of the prime examples of the form.

I was lucky enough to see this film at the cinema, knowing no more about it at the time, than that it was supposed to be a good comedy. Well it turned out to be a very good comedy indeed. The film offers so much more than just some very funny moments though. Everyone I know who saw it at the time loved it and it was no surprise that it became one of the years biggest hits. It is strong in all areas, well written and directed with good chemistry between the leading actors and an excellent cast who all perform their parts to perfection. Hogan stands out of course and had the difficult task of throwing off the tag 'Australia's answer to Benny Hill' something he manages effortlessly.

It's difficult to realise now how much of a 'breath of fresh air' it was at the time, since Hollywood immediately co-opted (or stole) so much of the style and approach of the film for its own projects in the following years.

The film quite naturally, divides into two parts. The first in Australia, has a surprising depth to it and a real feel for the place(the Outback)and its people and of course you get to know the characters. The second part of the film is set in New York and provides the bulk of the humour but still remains character focused and never descends into pointless gag-making.

It manages to be hilariously funny one moment and sweetly touching the next. Put simply the film is a delight and a joy to watch and can be seen many times without tiring of it.

5.0 out of 5 stars CROCIDYLLIC!!!!!, 20 May 2004
This review is from: Crocodile Dundee (Audio CD)
I bought this soundtrack on cassette way back in the 80's and played it to death in the car. Unfortunately it got lost during a house move a few years ago and I've pined for it ever since. Imagine my joy at tracking it down at Amazon.
Unlike most rediscovered old favourites, this one seems as fresh and satisfying as when I first owned it all those years ago. OK so some of the syn-drum sounds are a bit dated now but frankly, who cares? This album is pure class from start to finish. The penultimate track (from the scene at the end of the film where Linda Koslowski is chasing barefoot through the streets of New York to catch up with Mick Dundee in the underground station - you remember!) Is a wonderful crescendo piece that could have even the toughest bushman in tears.
Overall a beautiful, emotional, funny album, and I can't recommend it highly enough.

In New York they have muggers, pushers and hookers. Australians, however, are more refined: they have lager, roos -- and Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee. Read more
