| Rating | | | Date | February 24, 2005 | | Summary | A very entertaining sequel | Content
| First of all, to fully enjoy the sequel, you should see the original first. That said, if you liked the first movie, you will most likely enjoy the sequel. Then again, you probably won't like the sequel if you disliked the original. However, if you prefer action and adventure over comedy, then I think that you will prefer the sequel so in which case you should give it a watch.
Personally, this movie is one of my favorite movies of all time. I think it was quite a bit more entertaining than the original, although I thoroughly enjoyed that too. The music really sets the mood in both films and Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) can always make me chuckle. By all means this movie is not for everyone. I would recommend it to those who like comedies, action, adventure, or to watch as a family (although the second movie has more violence than the first). An unorthodox action/comedy which in my opinion is far superior to the majority of terrible comedies nowadays.

| this is an exciting adventure with plenty of humor. hogan and kozlowski work well together.

it's just a fun, feel good movie. |
| Rating | | | Date | December 03, 2003 | | Summary | Paul Hogan tries to get more serious for Crocodile Dundee II | Content
| "Crocodile Dundee" was a surprise hit in 1986, more on the strength of Paul Hogan's whimsical charm as the title character, an alligator poacher from Down Under who is taken to the big bad city of New York where he does an engaging Innocent Abroad routine. Two years later came the sequel, "Crocodile Dundee II," which tried to sound all of the same notes as the original while reversing the patter--Mick Dundee starts in NYC and then ends up back in Australia at the end of the film--while adding a whole plot line about an evil drug lord. After rescuing Sue (Linda Kozlowski) from the fortress home of the drug lord in NYC, the scene shifts back to Australia when the drug lord decides to take on Mick on his own turf, which may well be one of the ten stupidest things ever done by a bad guy in a movie (it at least deserves a nomination). The strengths of "Crocodile Dundee II" are the same as the original. Hogan has an easy-going charm and his character is nonplussed by any situation in which he finds himself or anybody that he meets. He is the common man with the common touch, even if he is from an uncommon part of the world. The relationship between Mick and Sue seems a bit more real this time around, and there are even signs of some actual chemistry, which might have something to do with the fact that Hogan and Kozlowski were going to end up getting married two years later (instead of making "Crocodile Dundee III" apparently). But the drug plot line is an unnecessary attempt to up the ante (compare it with the mugger/big knife scene from the original), which just leads the film too far astray from what really worked that first time around. Those who really like the original will find this enjoyable enough. But Hogan's "Almost an Angel" is a much better film. |

| Crocodile Dundee II is a classic. No matter how much one doesn't like the turn that this second film took, it will always be a memorable sequel. When you create a sequel, you're also supposed to "up" the level of conflict. And that called for a serious tone. But at the same time, they kept it as light as they could. It isn't bad at all. The drug dealers who followed Dundee and his Lady back to Australia were in for a shock. What other sense of a sequel were we supposed to be provided with? I mean, they had to think of something. And this was it! It has a more intense conflict, still with a light tone applied to it-- and much humor. We are allowed a look into the life of Crocodile Dundee, and what he looks like when being confronted with a conflict on his own turf down under. It was nice to see him play games and run numbers on the bad guys. Quite memorable this film was, indeed! Be sure to check out the third installment, "Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles" It's not as serious of a tone, but still a great watch! |
