Crocodile Dundee Trilogy 1-3 Complete DVD Movie Collection: Crocodile Dundee / Crocodile Dundee 2 / Crocodile Dundee In Los Ang

Crocodile Dundee: 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. Crocodile Dundee 2: The 1988 follow-up to Paul Hogan's international hit Crocodile Dundee is less interesting and more formulaic than the first film, while a silly suspense element about a retaliatory drug kingpin has an air of contrivance. The story reverses the course of Crocodile Dundee, this time beginning in New York City and switching to the rugged bush country of Australia, where Dundee and his companion (Linda Kozlowski) run into trouble with the aforementioned villain. Hogan's natural charm keeps the movie afloat and easy to stick with, but the production lacks all the freshness and surprise of its predecessor. Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles: Paul Hogan returns for the third time as the unlikely backwoods hero Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee. This time round Mick and his partner Sue (Linda Kozlowski) leave their Outback home and relocate to Los Angeles.
