Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaAlec Wilson appears in this film as 'Denning', a local Australian hired goon for the drug lords. He later appeared in the sequel Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001) as 'Jacko', a long-time Australian friend of Mick.
- GoofsThe lens on Sue's ex-husband's camera changes between shots when he is taking pictures of the drug lord executing a captive. When seen head on it is a 500mm mirror lens and from the side it is a 50-300 zoom lens.
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the credits Dundee can be heard to say: "Are you ready to go home now" for a second time.
- Alternate versionsUK cinema and video versions were cut by a second to briefly shorten the scene in Colombia where Rico shoots a man in the head. The footage was restored for the 2003 DVD release.
Featured review
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...
