Editorial Reviews: Amazon.co.uk Review Made 13 years after the previous sequel, 2001's ICrocodile Dundee in Los Angeles/I sees Paul Hogan's likeable, heroic and unworldly Aussie hero accompany his partner Sue (Linda Kozlowski, Hogan's real-life wife) to Los Angeles. There he finds himself wrestling with the niceties of the Californian lifestyle somewhat less easily than he wrestles with crocs back in the outback. Sue, meanwhile, uncovers a smuggling plot involving artworks from Yugoslavia. Dundee duly steps forward to go undercover and--with a bit of muscle and survivalist nous--saves the day. p As anyone who saw IEscape from LA/I will testify, the moral here is: never make a sequel in Los Angeles. The kindest thing that can be said about this outing is that it is harmless. It exudes a family-friendly geniality throughout that almost makes its many flaws endurable--almost but not quite. Hogan--61 when he made this--makes for an embarrassingly implausible action hero, lacquered in trowel-loads of make-up to fill in the facial creases. The antipodean-abroad jokes are insultingly feeble; Dundee strolls into a gay bar by mistake, thinks the parking valet is a mugger, can't operate the remote control, etc. There's a cameo involving Mike Tyson that belongs nowhere and Kozlowski's performance only fuels suspicion that this is a husband and wife vanity project. If nothing else, ICrocodile Dundee in Los Angeles/I is proof that Hollywood's alleged stony-heartedness is a myth, for it can only have been out of charity and benevolence to an elderly Australian thespian down on his luck that this movie was given the green light. p BOn the DVD:/B ICrocodile Dundee in Los Angeles/I is presented in anamorphic widescreen format with excellent image quality, bringing out the rich contrasts between the early outback scenes and the early establishing shots of sunlit LA. Sound quality is impeccable also. The only extras, however, are the trailer and some "behind the scenes" clips so perfunctory and unrevealing they might as well not have bothered. --IDavid Stubbs/I

Ireland) 17 out of 21 found this review helpful I saw this film in the cinema and can't wait to buy the video. If you enjoyed the first two Crocodile Dundee films then you will love this one also. You jump out of your seat within the first 2 minutes. The cast are older and play on it. The scene with Mike Tyson is fantastic. The film is nostalgic and funny. You feel you have seen it somewhere before..its comfortable..its Crocodile Dundee..a trilogy complete.I loved it. Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles February 22, 2004 4 out of 8 found this review helpful This movie has got it all: humour, action and that thing that makes films tells you they are amazing.brIt follows the story of Mick Dundee/Crocodile Dundee/ Big Dundee as he goes to America from the outback where he is a crocodile hunter (hunts crocodiles). All the lights and sounds are a lot for him but when his friend from the outback comes to stay with him they can make Traffic Lights, Sky scrapers and Fast Food resturants become hilariously funny. I give it 5 stars / 10/10 it's a must see film Mick's Back To Save Hollywood December 29, 2008 DL Productions UK (Merseyside, UK) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful I have to say I really enjoyed the first two, Mick going to New York and discovering a whole new world, then Sue going to the outback to find out how Australia was was just as comical, so I was wondering why they had decided to come back with yet another one? I was put off by bad reviews and people saying it was dull, but yesterday I ignored all the fuss and gave Mick and co my 90 minutes of attention. br / br /Sue's father needs Sue to come back to the US to do some journalism work as one of their colleagues has died. Mick's adamant that she should go, and him and Mick Jr will follow later on. Sue has to investigate a new studio in tinsel town, one that seems to be rather reluctant to have visitors in certain studios. br / br /Mick's back to his old tricks, and brings Mick Jr over to LA, to find he's learning more things yet again, and taking TV a little too serious. When Sue discovers something fishy, Mick Dundee's on the hunt for the truth. br / br /This wasn't as bad as people made out - I quite enjoyed it, Paul Hogan's performance is just as good as 1 and 2, and young Mick is funny. OK the plot is a bit cheesy, but this is good for a Sunday evening's watching, not too serious yet not so stupid you might as well turn off your brain. The action is not as good as the first one, but this isn't the worst long awaited sequel ever, actually it does a pretty good job. It obviously isn't as good as the first movie, but that would not be easy to do. br / br /I like the way they have kept up the cluelessness of the first movie even though he's still in the US, it's just different in LA to New York. It's funny how he's not really kept up with the new trends, and him mocking the other guy with a mobile phone was funny. br / br /I would recommend renting this, but if you're a big fan of the crock, then you should get this as it's decently priced. Not as good as the first two March 31, 2008 Irishmoll (Dublin) Twelve years passed before this trilogy was completed. The first two were fantastic, sharp and on the ball - this does not match up to their excellence. It is Mick back in the States this time in Los Angeles and it does bring things to a conclusion, ties up the loose ends etc., Wally is missing and is missed - not the stuff of 1 2 but it is enjoyable, if you have the other two buy it. rather dissappointing August 4, 2002 10 out of 11 found this review helpful The original crocdile dundees were rather enjoyable, both 1 and 2. The third one is rather late in showing up. In fact it has arrived some 12 years after the second one. In a vain attempt to re-vamp croc-dundee, the effect is that he has faded like a magazine left in the sun for 12 years. The jokes are regurgitations from the original films that lack the timing and sharpness of the originals and the main joke of the whole series is flawed when we find out it is no longer evident. what i mena by that is the originals had Mick dundee wrestling crocs, intimidating kangaroo hunters and vanishing from sight in the outback but is thoroughly perplexed by New York. As far as the intermittent plot has gone, Mick has been in the states for years and so would be keyed in to how it works. there is an effort to recussitate the saga by introducing another bushman but its very contrived. Very sad to see. Buy the original 2 instead. Showing reviews 1-5 of 7 1 2 Next »
