Synopsis
Aussie croc wrangler Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) is starting to adjust to his crazy new surroundings in New York City with his beautiful new "sheila" Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) when they accidentally get on the bad side of a ruthless drug lord. Their trouble starts when Sue's old flame Bob (Dennis Boutsikaris) is murdered in Colombia for taking pictures of an assassination by drug smugglers. Having sent the photos to Sue, she and Mick are suddenly and inadvertently mixed up in his unfinished business, as the DEA and drug cartel henchman come looking for the film. The urban terrain of New York, however, is no place for the outdoorsy "Croc" and his posse to hide out. So they hightail it to the Australian outback--a place infinitely more familiar to Mick--and even out the odds by leading the big city hoods into a rugged landscape where they get a fast, funny and deadly lesson in wilderness survival. Much more an adventure thriller than the "stranger in a strange land" comedy of the first, Mick is still quick with the drawling one-liners, and the obvious warmth between real-life partners Hogan and Kozlowski adds to the fun.

Customer Reviews

Better than the original? I think so!
Excellent sequel to the original, and also manages to be different too. Whereas the first Dundee movie was pure, light hearted comedy, 'Crocodile Dundee 2' takes on a darker and more gritty tone, with the occasional comedic scenes thrown in (especially when the action moves to Australia). I cant understand why this film always gets poor reviews, to me its the best Dundee movie and a lot, lot better than the poor 'Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles' that was to follow.

Everyone watches this when it's on
This is one of those films that I watch every time it shows up on TV. Even though it isn't as good as the first one, there is just something about this re-hashed sequel. The plot is weak but I still go along with it; the lead character has no basis in reality but I still root for him; the comedy is pretty lame but I always laugh (especially the `I don't need a gun, I've got a Donk' scene); the villains aren't memorable or scary but I still hate them, the lead actress isn't particularly fanciable but I'd still do her; and the `twist' ending is telegraphed several minutes before it happens but I still feel relived when the Aborigine says `Course not, there's Mick over there'. Crocodile Dundee II will never make anyone's favourite films list, and I certainly wouldn't put it on mine, but...well, they show Apocalypse Now, and The Searchers, and Lawrence of Arabia on TV, and though they are all classics, I don't feel I have to watch them. But I always have to watch Crocodile Dundee II.

BrendoClarke - A reluctant fan.
I recently watched (reluctantly) this movie in a friends house and i have to say i enjoyed it. It is a movie of two parts. The first part deals with Mick Dundee (Hogan) trying to rescue his missus from kidnappers in N.Y. where he endures New York street scum - drug dealers, muggers, transvestites, and prostitutes.

The second half (the best half) of the movie is set in the Australian outback. The action is believeable and the script is funny. Croc Dundee 2 is a timeless classic.
