Crocodile Dundee II

Amazon.com

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. --Tom Keogh

~Mick Dundee is back & better than before~.......2007-08-08

I fell in love with the 1st Dundee movie & when the 2nd was released, "wondering how it could possibly be as good?". A FEW movie sequel's can ever measure up to the 1st ... BUT in "Crocodile Dundee 2" it is actually just as good & even BETTER than the first! It is more on the adventurous side whereas the 1st was more of a romantic comedy. I was thrilled that it was released on DVD & is one of my favorites to watch.

The Croc is back! .......2007-07-16

Mic Dundee is back played by Paul Hogan but this time he is living with his wife Sue. Their world gets turned upside down again when her ex-husband is murdered by a drug lord. Sue (and then Mic) become new targets and Sue is captured and, of course, rescued my Mic but not without the help of an 80s street gang howling outside the drug lord's mansion! Mic and Sue return to Australia to out-trick and out-smart the bad guys while he picks them off one by one ("black magic" turns one into an iguna, a rhino runs off with another...). Until finally Wallie and Sue mess up Mic's plan in the end where he ends up being shot- but don't worry- a happy ending leaves us waiting for a Croc III...

Paul Hogan, the one and only... Crocodile Dundee!.......2007-04-15

Crocodile Dundee II continues its recipe for making great movies! All the ingredients are there; adventure, action, romance, and great comedy.

Our modern day Tarzan is now a bit more mature and the story, while still very funny, carries a stronger message. Mick Dundee, played by Paul Hogan, is still in New York City with journalist Sue Charlton, who is played by Linda Kozlowski. Sue's ex-husband who is also a journalist, opens the movie covering a case in South America, where he gets involved on a story that exposes him to real danger. He is shooting the bad guys when he witnesses a murder.

Mr. Tanner sends the film to Sue but she is not home to get it, Mick Dundee does. The bad guys visit New York City to retrieve the package, taking Sue hostage. They soon realize she knows nothing about the situation, she did not get the phone message Mr. Tanner left for her, and she does not have the package.

Rico, the drug dealer played by Hechter Ubarry, is the type of villain that will do whatever it takes to achieve power and wealth, and knows the pictures would not only compromise his plans, but they would prove how corrupt his organization is.

Mick Dundee is able to save his lady from the kidnappers thanks to the help of a gang. Very funny moments are seen as he "bonds" with this group, which soon find themselves captivated by the Australian. As the film progresses, Mick realizes that he is out of his element and that if he is to have a chance at avoiding the danger represented by the drug-dealers, he must travel back to Australia, where "he can see them coming."

Back at home in Australia is where the real fun begins as we now see the bad guys in trouble. One by one, in some of the best moments of this film, we see them succumb to Mick Dundee. One of the best scenes has an aborigine poking at one of the captured villains and Sue asks what he just said to one of Mick's friends, only to hear that... "he is asking whether we can eat them." Of course, the villains faint at the realization that they are no longer in control.

A superb sequel to one of the best characters created... the one and only... Crocodile Dundee!

Paul Hogan is a joy to watch.......2007-03-14

I am a total Paul Hogan Fan! I like him in everything he has done. Crocodile Dundee II takes his character a bit farther than the first movie. The first movie is a marvelous Love Story, this one shows some of his history. Love this movie.
