Crocodile Dundee II

As I have said on some of my other comments, it is rare for a sequel to be as good as it's predecessor but Crocodile Dundee II does that very thing.

Paul Hogan is great as the naive Crocodile Dundee who goes to war against drug dealers in this film. I won't spoil any of the scenes for anyone but they are all great particularly the ones that take place during the last quarter hour. There's also a great scene where Dundee talks to a suicide jumper atop a building. Paul Hogan doesn't do as many films as most actors which I think is better because he only acts in movies that are good.

Linda Koslowski is back as Sue Charlton and she does a great job again. She and Paul Hogan had great chemistry.

This is a great sequel to a great film. Check it out.

Although not as good as the first I still think there are some great elements in the film. The stunning scenery of Australia again reigns through. The interaction between Wally and Mick are some of the funny parts of the film.

Don't waste your time and watch the third installment of this series as it is very poor

I do not understand why this movie only gets a 5.2 out of 10 on the IMDb viewer ratings. What it may have lacked in originality and suspense, it made up for in Australian charm, both locations and people. Sure, a lot of it may have been contrived for laughs, but SO WHAT? It is still diverting...

I know I am in the minority here but I actually liked this sequel better than the original...and the original was very good and extremely popular.

Maybe I was biased because I played this with some kids present and was pleasantly surprised to hear almost no profanity, which I couldn't say was the case in the first film. It was a "cleaner" movie, and still an equally entertaining one with a good mix of drama, action, comedy and even some good music thrown in. The film has no lulls and 110 minutes go by pretty quickly.

The first half of this movie takes place in New York City, where we last saw "Mick Dundee" (Paul Hogan). The second half, the crocodile man takes his bride (Linda Kozlowski) back to the outback in Australia. Hogan was never more entertaining and, of course, feeling comfortable back in his home territory.

This is just a fun ride all the way and, yes, to use a cliché, good family entertainment.

I'm surprised at just how low a rating 'Crocodile Dundee II' has received. I thought this was a solid and fun sequel to the classic original. In many ways, it actually outdoes the first film. There's more action, more humour and, in my opinion, a better and more developed plot that relies less on individual gags.

However, it doesn't quite match the first film for charisma and is missing that special something that so many loved about the original. As a sequel though, it works well and has just about everything you could want from an adventure/comedy film.

Crocodile Dundee is a brilliantly entertaining character and the film as a whole is fun and very enjoyable. This is an underrated sequel and I can't quite put my finger on why so many people didn't like it.
