Rating: Summary: This sequel is not a crock! Review: "Fun for the whole family!"How often to you see that quote when reading movie reviews these days. Unfortunately, not often enough. Well, I'm happy to say that "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" *is* fun for the whole family, and if you don't agree with me, you must be a dirty old crocodile! Subaru Outback spokesperson Paul Hogan returns to the silver screen as Mick "Crocodile" Dundee - our favorite bloke from "down under" since Yahoo Serious. After seeing John Carpenter's "Escape from L.A.", I was hesitant to see another movie based in the city of angels. Carpenter's dark and violent vision of the not-so-distant-future left me with an uncomfortable chill. Although, that scene where Snake Pliskin surfs with Henry Fonda (or was that Peter?) was pretty sweet! "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" doesn't need the "Hollywood special effects", "big budget" or "competent director" to succeed - it does just fine by itself. Filled with knee-slapping pratfalls, and crazy hijinks, don't be surprised if you wake up your neighbors with your boysterous laughs (assuming you live close to your neighbors). Paul Hogan and Linda Kosolowososswski are Hollywood's best on-screen (and OFF-screen!) couple since Keanu Reeves and Lori Petty in "Point Break". Their chemistry is simply priceless! "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" will leave you with a wonderful feeling!

Rating: Summary: mrboxoffice2001 Review: 13 years after the last misadventure of Australia's favourite adventurer he's back, this time taking a slice out of L.A., and boy, did they diserve it. paul hogan reserrects his famous character again for more great laughs. i had reservations about this film but i came out pleasantly surprised. there were a few great laughs but generally a steady flow of chuckles from start to finish. its a shame that hogan waited so long to make this installment because it has really taken away from its box office appeal. the only advice i cane give is if you liked Croc I and Croc II then you're gonna like Croc III. i had figured after seeing it whether this one would have been more successful had it been released closer to the first two, and sadly i'd have to say yes.
Rating: Summary: Vintage Dundee Review: A very pleasant family movie. Paul and Linda are older but have worn well. Their son was there as he should be to make up the family. I wasn't once tempted to fast-view any part - this is one of the advantages of viewing a recording.
Rating: Summary: Mick is back. Review: After thirteen years in limbo, Mick "Crocodile" Dundee is back. This was a really enjoyable movie that everyone in my family enjoyed watching. The picture provides lots of laughs and the story works rather well. Mick and the love of his life, Sue, have a son together and are living in Mick's home territory of the Australian Outback. However, a publisher at a Los Angeles newspaper that Sue's father owns suddenly dies and her father temporarily offers her the position until a permanent replacement can be found. Surprisingly, Mick agrees and they move to LA. Once there, Sue begins to investigate the sudden death of the previous publisher and Mick goes undercover at a movie studio. The critics blasted this film, but like many of the movies they review, they are way off target. The film is funny and family oriented. The plot is more believable than many big budgeted affairs and there is very little violence and no sleaze. The only major drawback about the movie is that it has been thirteen years since the last Crocodile Dundee film. The movie fits well within the trilogy, but since it has been so long since the last movie was in theatres, much of the movie's humor is lost on the audience (there are several references to Mick's character or things that happened previously, something you don't know much about unless you've seen the other films; this is an 80's type comedy with a modern sensibility, but if you've never seen an 80's comedy much of the humor will be lost). Overall, a delightful film that the entire family can enjoy; well worth your time and money.
Rating: Summary: Bad movie and zero DVD features. Review: All they have is one short film on how the movie was made, and a patheic theater trailer attached to it. Mediocore DVD results for a medicore film...
Rating: Summary: Much better than expected !! Review: Crocodile Dundee II was terrible, nowhere near the class of the origin Crocodile Dundee. The third one arrived 13 years later. I would say it is way too late for a sequel. So it didn't do well at all the box office. But surprisingly the third one is much better than the second one. The story about Mick Dundee visited LA only to discover a Hollywood film company is smuggling expensive paintings from former Yugoslavia. It is quite funny and with quite a few of one liners. George Hamilton and Mike Tyson appear as cameo. The DVD itself is good. Excellent picture transfer and the Dolby 5.1 is OK. Worth at least a rental.
Rating: Summary: A harmless light-hearted sequel Review: Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles should have been a made for video sequel or television. It's not the terrible movie a lot of people say is though. It's cute, not really a bad movie, not great but nothing to really hate about it. Paul Hogan is fun and he has some good lines. The plot is bad and it's lacking the musical score that I loved from the original two films. The film needing a villain just wasn't necessary either. Paul Hogan has a lot of chram though. Watching this guy explaining the world of L.A. to his son or his big lug Croc hunting friend is just a delight. The film has a tv sit-com feel to it and it's sad that's the direction the series took after the first 2 enjoyable films. Don't get me wrong this film is still enjoyable in a light-weight sort of way but the first 2 are better. While the other 2 have some comedy mixed with adventure, this one is all comedy. That's not a bad thing though as Paul Hogan is funny and Mick Dundee is an amusing character. The Crocodile Dundee series may have ran out of steam long ago but you have to admit Mick Dundee would make a fun guy to hang-out with.
Rating: Summary: Croc III is solid but no Croc I! Review: Crocodile Dundee(the first one) is probably one of my favorite modern films next to Star Wars. Seeing this one made me realize how superior(and this happens with sequels) the first Croc is. The premise in this one is basically the same except now we are in LA with Dundee's son. There are some funny moments such as the scene with Mike Tyson. Kozlowski still looks hot. They really should not bother with a fourth one. My advice is buy or rent a copy of the original.
