I saw Crocodile Dundee when it was in the theaters here in the States, and I could see it was a lower key production with insane amounts of heart and soul. I learned about Paul Hogan and John Meillon, which led me to Walkabout, and that's when I realized that Australian cinema was an undiscovered treasure. Great review.
Sometimes I feel like I'm the first American who knew who Paul Hogan was. PBS used to play his sketch show after Benny Hill and I fell in love. Literally be in tears laughing at some of his skits. So when the movie came out I knew exactly who he was and knew it was going to be great. I took a whole herd of my high school friends to see it at the theater, promising them they would love it, and they were not disappointed.
For anyone interested, "Walkabout Creek Hotel" is a real pub but it's in QLD, not the NT, in a town called McKinlay. Also, the buffalo was stuffed after he died and now "lives" in a pub in the NT.
@@matthewandrews3883 Northern Territory.. Australia is divided into states and territories, NT is is prominent in the Croc Dundee films however the pub is in the middle of woop woop Queensland.
until crocodile Dundee came out I thought Australia was just a vast wasteland of post-apocalyptic proportions where Tina Turner occasionally went to sing...but .. I was a kid back then so...
I remember seeing this movie when I was about 14 years old. I rented it from the local library. It definitely stood out to me because Paul Hogan played the main character so well! Truly one of the best 80s movies I’ve ever seen! I highly appreciate the hard work you put into each of these videos! Great job Minty!
@Dave Goldspink I agree with you about hot 60 years old ladies that have aged more gracefully than average. I notice them more than before since I am now 61! Money can help (surgery, botox, etc). Good food, healthy way of life, exercise are important to delay the effects of time. Those are factors that can be controled, and be proud of. At the opposite of genetics which we are born with. So, some people age well naturally, some because they work for it, others age badly despite their efforts or by lack of effort. Saying that someone is not aging well can be seen as a way to judge that person. That's why, personally, I prefer not to underline that.
I was a kid when I saw the first movie and the sequel and I love both. Remember the scene wherein Dundee does his hypnotism to the buffalo in the first movie and to the rabid dogs in the sequel?I tried doing that to a stray dog and I never ran so fast in my life away from that animal.
Fun fact, in a Stargate SG1 episode that featured a wolf like dog, to get the dog to react to the camera one of the producers did the Crocodile Dundee hypnotism move from behind the camera.
Great review as always, Minty. 'Crocodile Dundee' is one of my favourite 1980s movies... even more so, it is one of my DAD's favourite '80s movies. To this day, he's always quoting his favourite line, about Neville the Aborigine saying Sue can't take a photo of him, not because he believes it will take his soul away, but because she's got the lens cap on. Plot-wise the film is actually nothing outstanding, but it's more of a character piece, built around Hogan's slightly trickster, but very old fashioned and 'what you see is what you get' character. Interestingly, maybe the most famous scene, "That's not a knife...", is usually really chopped up (no pun intended) when shown on various UK television channels so that it barely makes sense, with most or all shots of the knives removed and the famous line often gone too. The mugger just kinds of pounces out, exchanges glances for a moment, and runs off, his clothes suddenly all shredded. This is probably due to concerns of knife crime in the UK, though is a bit over-zealous in my opinion. Oddly for me, I've never yet got the full complete Australian version of the movie. I love the 'Mad Max' Special Edition DVD that has both the US dub and original Aus version; they really should do this for Croc Dundee too (I've researched it a few times but don't think such version has ever been released). I have to admit I did like 'Crocodile Dundee II' as well. Yes it was a shameless sequel and the routine 'crime plot' stuck in, but I just loved seeing the character again. If anything, I'd say Hogan had developed his handle on the character even further than in the first one. I hang my head in shame admitting I even liked 'Crocodile Dundee in LA' just to see the character one more time; though it felt more like a TV movie than a big screen movie. I have sometimes wished they'd made a 'Crocodile Dundee' TV series, though it might have milked the character too much.
Love this movie and it's sequel so much. It is gold and I wish this generation would be introduced to them. They are so good. As always Mark, you do a fantastic job. I have seen at least 30 of your videos and I love them all. You are a legend.
Same here. It's one of my favorite movies. My favorite scene is the "that's not a knife! This is a knife!" I used to carry a knife that big almost all the time, and even had several people ask if they could see/hold the knife and would reference crocodile dundee 😂
Before CD, all we knew about Australia was, that the inhabitants generally traveled there in chains (at least the 5% of the convicts that opted for Australia over the noose), that everything alive and moving is so venomous, that even their looks could kill and that the natives may well be the "missing link" (who would drink petrol and sleep on warm highways during chilly nights - which incidentally are frequented by very long trucks, who drive from point A to point B for reasons unknown). And that the locals speak a language that sounds vaguely similar to English. Thanks to the internet, we later learned that the story of Crocodile Dundee was made up.
thefrecklepuny Flying Doctors and Prisoner Cell Block H and Sons and Daughters and The Young Doctors. We had quite a few Australian shows in Britain. Oh Home and Away 😉👍
About a month ago I was in Australia for the first time (From the States) up in Bendigo helping out at the Great Stupa. There was an older fellow trying to cut a piece of rope with a utility knife that was duller than a rock. I was standing behind him watching him saw back and forth trying to cut the rope and all I could think about was Crocodile Dundees line about the knife. But I knew it wouldn't have gone over to well if I tried it on the old fellow. So I just chuckled to myself and walked off.
Should have given it a go anyway most Australians have a sense of humour and he more than likely would have seen the funny side with you, especially being a country folk.
The “inspiration” for the character was Rod Ansell. From the crocs, to sleeping on the floor instead of a bed, to not knowing what a bidet was... all straight out of Ansell’s story. Cheers!
I remember there is another good movie that came out the same year as Crocodile Dundee called FX which stars Australian actor Bryan Brown. Hollywood went a bit Australia crazy after the success of Crocodile Dundee. It would be nice if Minty did a 10 Things You Didn't Know About FX please?
@ubervation Same here. I saw F/X 2 first. My mother wanted my little brother and I to watch it, so we could understand how special effects worked in movies and such. But this was on VHS, when the internet was not around for us like it is today. She bought the second one first because it was available, and a year or so later, she found the first one, and I found it long. I like it better today then I did then, but I have to admit, they chenged the pacing of the movie with the sequel. It wasn't as dramatic, and there was more F/X's.
One of my absolute favorite movies of all time! Also, this movie was a rite of passage for me as I was 13 when it was released and it was the first time that I didn't see a movie with my parents or a friend's parents. It was just my best friend and me being dropped off at the cinema to see Mick Dundee! I will never forget that experience.
I really appreciate the work that you do, Minty. Being a "Film Buff" myself, passed down from my Grandfather to my Mother and then unto me, becoming a Film Critic is something that I've always wanted to do. I've dabbled in it in some Facebook Groups in the past and I've really enjoyed it, as the members of the groups have enjoyed reading my critiques. Hey, you never know, right? If you have any advice, I would LOVE to hear/read it! Anyway, keep up the amazing work you do, Brother!
I actually saw Almost an Angel. I loved it. If I ever get the opportunity to visit another country I would prefer Australia. The few Aussies I've met here in the U.S. and on line were fun loving folks. I enjoy your accents and your sence of humor.
I loved Crocodile Dundee! Saw it in the theaters on it's initial run. It was indeed my introduction to Aussie films. I've loved Aussie cinema ever since. The Coca Cola Kid was another one of my all-time favorites as well.
@@Friendly_Gamer_Mom I do that more often than I care to admit. Thank heavens for IMDb. I'm beginning to believe that that is the true underlying purpose of IMDb, for folks that can't remember movie titles or actors/actresses who were in .movies. I suspect they initially thought it'd just be used to create best of list's and then >boom!< A whole sunsetction of forgetful individuals began visiting it more regularly and the importance of IMDb in society became clear! LOL
My favorite is "That's a bloke!"....i think that's the quote. Haven't seen this movie in a long time! Now I wanna watch it! I don't care if it's on VHS!
He was still married 5o his first wife x2 ( he married her twice ), neither would do anything when he was married. When he divorced his 1st/ 2nd wife they married and had 1 son xx
One of the greatest romantic comedies of all time. Super underrated. The score underrated. Everything about this movies great I love it and it has much logos/(truthlove) in it.
I was raised in West Texas in the late eighties/ early nineties, and to this day all of us West Texans feel this was one of the greatest movies of all time!
The problem with the sequel here in Britain is that it was so badly hacked up to make it fit into the TV schedule every time it was shown, it made no sense! IF seen in its entirety, it is a good film. But, it stood no chance with all the damage it suffered.
Great story. Funny. Great soundtrack. If I was stuck on an island with a tv, vcr, and only one movie to watch for the rest of my life... Croc Dundee would be just fine with me.
Fantastic work as always, Mark! The subway scene at the end was filmed in the abandoned lower level of the 9th Avenue Station in Brooklyn. In fact, the "D" train, when serving 9th Avenue, stops at the upper level of that filming location.
The buffalo "Charlie" lived for many years after the movie in a pen at the Adelaide River Pub about 50 mile south of Darwin NT. His horns now decorate the wall behind the bar.
Another iconic classic, love this film so much, it has everything you need for a fantastic movie. The 80's ruled. This was my 1st introduction to the great Paul Hogan. 👍👍
This is one of three movie where in 40 years of me, my mom, and step-dad actually all three went and saw together at the theater. It's still a family favorite today.
Agreed.. While they weren't his best films for sure, they were pretty damn good for what they were.. The issue was partly because he got type cast as Mick Dundee, and the audience couldn't see him as anything else..
This and Almost an angel, was 2 of the VHS's that I would continually watch as a kid, and I live in Scotland. I even watched his earlier stuff on Paramount comedy channel later in the 90s when we eventually got satellite tv.
Guess we got aclimated to Australia slowly. First, Olivia Newton-John ❤️❤️ then Mel Gibson right around the time of Men at Work and then we realized there are some great things down under. When I was doing a show in Australia I was with a friend who asked a bartender for a Fosters. Without skipping a beat the bartender asked "ya like the taste of piss, do ya?"😂😂😂
Another fantastic video, Minty! You are an international treasure to me. :-) Fun and informative. I remember that I couldn't wait to see Crocodile Dundee when it came out, and still one of my fave movies ever! I laughed when you mentioned Almost an Angel! I still remember that scene where they open the box and there are no batteries inside.
Fun fact; for 5 years I had that bloody theme tune in my head and couldn't remember where it was from. thankfully it played on TV a few years back, thus relieving me of my earworm nightmare.
Paul Hogan should get an award from the Australian Tourism people. No telling how many people visited because of this movie. Awesome vids man, subscribed
The scene where he literally walks over (on) people in the subway station is still a fun and badass scene to watch. Who hasn't gotten stuck like that and wanted to do the same? Those poor background extras squashed like sardines.
Love you!! Please pin me!!!

She was one of the main reasons I saw the film.
I understand why the croc was hungry.
that, and Yvette from "Clue" nearly bursting out of her blouse throughout the entire movie
One of my adult highlights to be honest! :D

my introduction to Australia was through Neville Shutes "A town like Alice". he wrote several books about Australia and the all were very readable.
young einstein was an awesome more some classic music as well. Keep up the great work Minty and co
The uhhh Infamous scene right before the croc attack had the whole theater howling and whistling.

Another great video, I love that you always have them on the movies I grew up with! Keep them coming you awesome Aussie!
You spelled Michaels name wrong, it's Hutchence, other than that, great review.
Who care's, it's Munty he get's everyfing wong!
Yes he fucks up a lot.Don't care who Minty is,he is a boxhead cementhead.
Yeah, how many times do you say Hutchens, Minty🙈🙈🙈
11:20 - Well, it WAS the only buffalo on set and probably related more to Linda than Paul.
Great post, as usual.
The buffalo "Charlie" lived for many years after the movie in a pen at the Adelaide River Pub about 50 mile south of Darwin NT. His horns now decorate the wall behind the bar.
Dam all these years I thought It was about a giant croc visiting Scotland
Make this movie!
How in the hell can someone mix Aussies with Scots? I'm not even a native English speaker.
@@mikitz you heard it in this video, they thought Hogan was Scottish! So it happens, especially when there is a town called Dundee in Scotland!
I'd watch it!
I'd watch it!
Another iconic classic, love this film so much, it has everything you need for a fantastic movie. The 80's ruled. This was my 1st introduction to the great Paul Hogan. 👍👍
After watching this movie, I come out of it feeling that deep down, there is an Aussie trapped inside.
Absolutely love this movie!!! It's Paul Hogan's charisma and his knowing eyes/stare that makes him seem otherworldly.
The prostitute scene, as I recall when seeing it in NYC when it came out, used the actual f-bomb.
It does, I have the vhs copy. The "are you gonna screw one of them" is for the t.v. version.
This is one of three movie where in 40 years of me, my mom, and step-dad actually all three went and saw together at the theater. It's still a family favorite today.
Bro, would love it if you did 10 things you didn't know about Breakin' or Suspiria.
One of my favorite childhood memories watching this movie
“That’s not a review.... THIS is a review! “
This channel has become one of my favorites. Good on you Minty.
Minty rules
I grew up on Crocodile Dundee, never watched the third one though :)
third one was good
You have the most awesome movie memorabilia collection I've ever seen!
almost an angel and lightning jack were under rated
Agreed.. While they weren't his best films for sure, they were pretty damn good for what they were.. The issue was partly because he got type cast as Mick Dundee, and the audience couldn't see him as anything else..
The Sydney Harbor Bridge was featured also in the Mad Max film series as well.
I like Donk and Nugget.Hilarious.
"I don't need a gun, I got a Donk" "A what?" "Donnnnnk!"
John Mellion as Wally was brilliant
This and Almost an angel, was 2 of the VHS's that I would continually watch as a kid, and I live in Scotland.
I even watched his earlier stuff on Paramount comedy channel later in the 90s when we eventually got satellite tv.
Guess we got aclimated to Australia slowly. First, Olivia Newton-John ❤️❤️ then Mel Gibson right around the time of Men at Work and then we realized there are some great things down under.
When I was doing a show in Australia I was with a friend who asked a bartender for a Fosters. Without skipping a beat the bartender asked "ya like the taste of piss, do ya?"😂😂😂
Olivia Newton John and Nicole Kidman. 😍 So much hotness...
Another fantastic video, Minty! You are an international treasure to me. :-) Fun and informative. I remember that I couldn't wait to see Crocodile Dundee when it came out, and still one of my fave movies ever! I laughed when you mentioned Almost an Angel! I still remember that scene where they open the box and there are no batteries inside.
Minty, can you please do "Night Of The Comet?"
I second the motion. Night of the Comet was a really cool movie for its time.
YESSSSS!
He did.
Definitely my introduction to Australia. I was 7 when it came out. I did enjoy Paul in all 3 movies.
Fun fact; for 5 years I had that bloody theme tune in my head and couldn't remember where it was from. thankfully it played on TV a few years back, thus relieving me of my earworm nightmare.
I hate that. 5 years would send me loopy
Dave54600 it's a good theme. Think it's pretty much the same tune in no2, which I also like watching
Favorite line.." that's not a knife, this is a knife" 😂
Off topic but do The Princess Bride. Please.
Didn't he already?
logandarklighter yes
Love this flick!! Especially the parts in the Australian bush!!
Classic.
10 things you didn't know about Fortress (1985),plz.
I give you credit for being so stubborn. ;)
Mike Spearwood why does asking minty to make a video make people so mad.
Mike Spearwood I know yeah lol

Paul Hogan should get an award from the Australian Tourism people. No telling how many people visited because of this movie. Awesome vids man, subscribed
The scene where he literally walks over (on) people in the subway station is still a fun and badass scene to watch. Who hasn't gotten stuck like that and wanted to do the same? Those poor background extras squashed like sardines.
The abandoned subway station used in the movie is 9th Avenue lower level on the D West End Line in Brooklyn...
