Summary: Funnier than you might think
Review: Paul Hogan returns as Mick Dundee. Despite beind the third film in a forgotten franchise, this movie still manages to entertain. There are some truly funny moments in here, but others aren't as smart. The scene in which Mick and his son stop in the middle of the freeway because they mistake a skunk for a dog is kinda odd. But hey this is still a fun movie and if defintely worth a look, though certainly not as good as the originals.

Summary: Nick's Back!
Review: The Crocodile Dundee films have always been a pleasent diversion to pass the time and are fun to watch. So how does the newest (And probably final) film stack up? Overall, Okay and nothing much else. The basic plot is that everybodys favorite Australian croc hunter's wife gets a job in hollywood and so, off they go. When they get there, Nick discovers that there is a big conspiracy afoot at one of the studios and sets out to write the wrong. Along the way, his son, his friend Jacko and him go on some interesting adventures in L.A., from looking down from a big skyscraper, blocking up a freeway and in my favorite sequence, take out a bunch of punks who try to steal money. The humor in this movie is mostley Ho-hum, with nothing really standing out (Although the anamatronic anaconda joke works out well) Several of dundess friends show up, including his aborigianie friend and his best mate (I forgot his name) The sad part about the movie is that it goes too fast and that nothing really stands out. Still, if you are a fan of the series, this is worth checking out. Trust me, its not as bad as the profesional reviews say. The Good: Its a crocidile Dundee movie, Paul hogan and "Jacko" do a great job at acting, nice croc sequence near the beginning, nice ending The bad: Ho hum jokes, dull movie conspiracy that never takes off. And the Ugly: Ultimitly too short

Summary: Excellent movie
Review: The return of Crocodile Dundee for a third movie was greeted with a great deal of applause: hooray for a good old fashioned family friendly comedy. But is it? Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles features the return of Paul Hogan as Crocodile Dundee, once again starring in his humorous fish-out-of-the-water role. This time Dundee travels with his common-law-wife and son to Los Angeles, where he helps her uncover a smuggling ring. The action sequences and climax at the end all have their humour, but the real fun occurs throughout the movie, with Dundee the naïve Australian in the big American city. Most of the humour revolves around cultural differences and pokes fun at American culture and America's own holy grails: the fast food industry, the movie business. Some of the highlights that come to mind are a scene where Dundee chokes up the expressway while trying to rescue a skunk, the drive-through at Wendys, and the drive-by mugging which backfired. Added to the cultural jokes are slap stick humor typical of a comedy where the villains are treated to a variety of appropriate punishments. And the scenes of Australia (with a local aborigine using a mobile phone) are equally charming. All family friendly so far, although the amount of violence and the tense chase scene involving gun-toting thugs and hungry lions at the end would be frightening for youngsters. Somewhat more disturbing, however, are the oblique and more incidental aspects of the movie. There are several foul mouthed expressions, and around half a dozen instances of blasphemy. Is this really necessary? Apparently so. But that's not the worst of it. The movie is filled with sexual innuendoes, with numerous ogling of rear ends and comments like "nice butt", and scantily clad babes are abundant - there's a hardly a modestly dressed female to be seen. The abundant cleavage and short skirts and provocative comments does little to discourage lustful thoughts. And Mick & Sue's eventual marriage merely serves to make their earlier common-law relationship "official." But to top it off, there are several jokes about homosexuality, including a scene where Dundee and his companion enter a gay cross-dressing bar. Producers, it seems, are determined to include references to homosexuality, in order to make us desensitized to an immoral lifestyle. They are already succeeding, as evidenced in the fact that many speak of this movie as "family friendly all the way." Be warned that it's not "all the way" family friendly, because although this is a PG movie, by introducing your children to Crocodile Dundee you are introducing them to profanity and immorality in abundance. Even the fact that Dundee takes the law into his own hands by breaking and entering in order nab the villains does little to encourage respect for authority. Mick Dundee may a better hero than most of Hollywood's offerings, but even he lacks some of the old fashioned morals that America once had. The standards are indeed slipping. By society's standards, it is a relatively clean movie. But the standards of today are already so low, that even the cleanest of movies has a great deal of filth lurking underneath. The waters of Crocodile Dundee may have been declared clean by many, but beware that the crocodiles of immorality are lurking close at hand, ready to nibble away whatever morals your children may have left.

Summary: Crocodile Dundee--undercover investigator
Review: The third Crocodile Dundee movie has the Australian going off to Los Angeles to accompany his common-law wife while she fills in as a journalist for a man who has died. She soon uncovers some shady goings-on in a film studio and she dispatches Dundee to do some undercover sleuthing. This film has the usual high jinks and laughs, but somehow Crocodile isn't quite as funny now that he's been domesticated and has a young son.

Summary: Please no more!
Review: The third installment of Crocodile Dundee starring a subdued Paul Hogan takes place this time in Los Angeles,where he somehow finds an plot do steal some paintings. The ever lovable guy from 'downunder', is less lovable and more pathetic looking this go around. I know he's getting older, but did this second sequal really need to be made? The script and plot are something not even a t.v. movie of the week would show. Like the old saying, " Don't fix it if it aint broken". Well it's broken, but please Hollywood, don't try and fix it!

Summary: Paul Hogan rounds out the "Croc" series with a good edition!
Review: This movie is excellent; not as good as the first two, but better than I expected for a sequel created more than ten years after the previous one. It pretty much follows along the lines of the first two. We start the movie off in "Walkabout Creek", where Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee lives with his girlfriend Sue, and their son, Mick Jr. Here we come across "Donk" and the rest of the crazy "outbackians" we met in the previous installments, who are now all working in the tourist industry, where folks from all over come to see Mick Dundee and Croc hunters in general. Mick isn't alone in this business--here we also meet Mick's friendly rival Jacko, "The second greatest croc hunter in the world". If I'm not mistaken we already met the guy who plays Jacko, as one of the baddies in 'Crocodile' Dundee: Part II. The comical acquaitancy Mick shares with Jacko through out the movie will almost lead one to believe that Paul Hogan is actually tunning this guy up to take his place as a new Dundee. If this is true, it wouldn't bother me, because I rather liked the character. Following the lines of the first two installments, Mick and his family head to Los Angeles, where Sue takes a position as a newspaper reporter investigating the mysterious "goings-on" at a film studio. Of course, like the first two, while Sue's at work the boys go out and play, and get into a little trouble. Mick is still having trouble adjusting to technical life, and being a house-dad. He also finds every moment he can to be with his son and teach him the ways of the outback. When the boy starts school, Mick decides to help Sue by gaining work at the film studio as an extra, where he quickly rises up the ranks as 'animal-trainer'. Eventually Jacko comes to L.A. to visit, and not only do we have two troublesome kids, we now have three. As you probably guessed, the film studio is occupied with some more menacing baddies, and its up to Mick to save the day. The movie has plenty of jokes. Look for the Wendy's scene, the crocodile tree scene, the snake scene, and not to mention the countless 'dumb Aussie' jokes. There were only a few quibs I had with this movie. The script was decent; not as good as the first two, but decent. On the other hand, instead of using the crocodile theme and the dreamy/romantic score from the first two movies, we are stuck with rock songs in this one. There is also a cameo appearance by Mike Tyson as a meditating athlete Mick and his son come across in the park. Although Mike did a good job in the scene, I thought his appearance was rather inappropiate for this movie. Was this not after he bit off the ears of Evander Holyfield, was this not after his prison sentence for raping a woman. Be that as it may, this is the nice'st you're ever going to see Mike. Another quib, is that the actors looked old, but that was expected. This movie isn't as bad as you think. And giving that it was made ten some years after the other one, its not bad...not bad at all. Not as bad as what you think, an excellent installment and a good way to end the series. Go out and buy or rent "Crocodile Dundee in L.A."!
