 'Crocodile Dundee II'
'Crocodile' Dundee II," which features the further escapades of Paul Hogan as the Australian bushman Michael J. Dundee, plays as if it was written in an afternoon by a bunch of mates out on the back nine.
The virtue of the "Crocodile" films is their gentleness, and as an alternative to the assaultive violence of some contemporary films, they encourage kindly feelings.
In the first installment, the "Crocodile" character was still being elucidated, and this, along with the basic incongruity of having this noble primitive -- a modern Leatherstocking -- on the loose in Manhattan, gave the original a pointedness that the sequel lacks.

The story received by one American journalist, prompting her to come and see the man herself, turns out to be slightly exaggerated, but everything else about the man seems more fairytale than real.

 Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles
"Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" is a plodding, bland movie that produces occasional laughs by recycling Hogan's fish-out-of-water schtick: He's a rough, tough guy from the Land Down Under who has a heart of gold and a bumbling knack for exposing the pomposities and lunacies of life in a big, bustling American city.
"Dundee III" fails because it's a crocodile with two heads - it's supposed to be a comedy and a detective thriller.
As Dundee says early on in his latest adventure, sitting in his boat waiting for a big croc to show itself: "This is as good as it gets."

 Crocodile Dundee I&II DVD Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In the first Crocodile Dundee movie, feisty (and beautiful, it helpfully tells us twice on the packaging, just in case we doubted Hogan’s choice of co-star and wife), journalist Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) is wrapping up a visit to Australia when she hears about Mick ‘Crocodile’ Dundee (Paul Hogan).
Dundee apparently wrestled a crocodile, which bit off half his leg, yet somehow Dundee survived to tell the tale.
A couple of years later, and in Crocodile Dundee II, Dundee is living in New York with his girlfiend (oops, sorry, should have said ‘beautiful girlfriend’) journalist Sue Charlton, catching fish by electrocuting them, but on good terms with the cops who find him ‘fishing’ in the Hudson.

Everyone else seems to be: the Coast Guard officers who forgive him for using mini-depth charges to fish in New York harbor, various bartenders, mailmen, punks, little kids in the park, and finally Sue, who seems not to mind that her husband's basically an unemployed layabout looking for fun.

Still, the appeal of the character and the easy, intrinsic humor at the heart of the film is enough to make 'Crocodile Dundee II,' directed by John Cornell, a satisfying cinematic experience.
Cornell, like Peter Faiman (who directed 'Crocodile Dundee'), is destined to be the forgotten man of this project, and for the same reasons.
An entertaining film, but not nearly as 'fun' as the original (the 'Indy' syndrome, again), 'Crocodile Dundee II' is nevertheless a worthy addition to the series, as it puts you together with one of the screen's most unforgettable characters, 'Crocodile' Dundee.

 Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles Movie Review at Hollywood Video
No, you haven't slipped through a time warp to the late 1980s — Paul Hogan is once again playing everyone's favorite croc poacher in Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles, the third film in the Aussie-in-America comedy series.
Otherwise, he's the same old Mick, still getting into amusing fixes with uncooperative wildlife (he gets treed by a monster croc), hypnotizing the odd razorback with his trademark jedi mind-trick (which crocodiles are apparently immune to), and generally being the irascible backwoods bloke we've all come to know and love.
In fact, if anything, Crocodile Dundee's latest adventure is a true family film —; too bad most kids are too young to have ever heard of him.

Here, it's the title character of "Crocodile Dundee," directed by Peter Faiman, and starring Paul Hogan as the inimitable Mick Dundee, a rather unique individual hailing from the small hamlet of Walkabout Creek, Australia.
It's about a legendary "local" from one of the small towns on the cusp of the bush, a crocodile hunter who, the story goes, had his leg bitten off by a croc, then managed to survive by crawling, alone, for days on end across the outback.
Let's face it, Paul Hogan is "The Man" as Mick Dundee; he's the guy other guys admire and want to be (whether or not they'll admit to it), and he has the kind of natural good looks, charisma and charm that is irresistible to the ladies (whether or not they'll admit to it).
