Crocodile Dundee was the second biggest movie of the year in 1986 just right behind Top Gun. The sequel is just as good and that is when they fell in love in real life and got married. They were married for 24 years (1990-2014) and have one son.

A friend of mine here in the USA is of Australian descent, and he first saw this movie in a cinema that somehow had a lot of Australians present. The laughter at the jokes switched between the Americans and the Australians because the Americans didn't get the Australian jokes, and vice-versa. The first sequel to this film is worthy. It's just as fun but it also has a villain that follows them from New York to Walkabout Creek and stakes are higher. Strongly recommended. Another movie you might consider checking out is "The Man From Snowy River". It's not a comedy but rather a western set in Australia. It's also very wholesome and very well done.

8;59 Mick looked at Walter's watch and got the time just before he did his sun/time trick. He's trying to impress Sue.

aaah.... actually....Mary, when Mick lifted his pant leg to show the crocodile bite scar, he explained, when a crocodile gets a hold of its victim, the croc goes to the bottom and thrashes its victim until it runs out of air and drowns and becomes the crocodile's food. Mick used his knife and the croc let go. Mick called the HUGE, UGLY crocodile scar a 'Love Bite'.

"Ruthless People" is a fun 80's comedy that I don't think anyone has reacted to.

Thank you, Mary! 🐊

The cull isn't even impactful to any areas, there are that many. BTW, in the bush, you never drive at night. The wallabies and roos tend to hop in front of you and freeze. The scariest part isn't that, it's the rows of reflected eyes on both sides of the road. All you see are glowing eyes. It's extremely scarey.

I've suggested down under movies lots. Crocodile Dundee is the first Mary has watched. The Dark Horse (2014) The Worlds Fastest Indian (2005) The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert (1994) Muriels's Wedding (1994) Eagle vs Shark (2007) The Dish (2000) The Whale Rider (2002) The Castle (1997) Hunt for the Wilderpeople (2016) The Piano (1993) Once Were Warriors (1994) The Frighteners (1996) Heavenly Creatures (1994)

The ending part where he walks on top of people is similar to how Australian Sheep Dogs run across the backs of sheep when they are packed tightly together.

Gus was in Die Hard and Die Hard 2 as Officer Powell.

No one's mentioned "That Thing You Do," but I think it's just the kind of thing Mary would love.

it's always a pleasure to share movies with you

I love how he gives Irving his knife as a present.

I don't think most people under 30 have seen this movie, but almost anyone had heard the quote "that is not a knife, THIS is a knife!"

I remember hearing wolf whistles from the guys in the movie theater when Sue removed her pants to refill her canteen with water.

The back end of this film is pretty unusual in its subversion of the "fish out of water" trope. Mick is never a fish-out-of-water because he brings his "water" with him!

There are Alamo references in this movie. Walkabout Creek Hotel resembles the Alamo, Sue calls Mick "Davy Crockett", while Mick himself carries a Bowie knife.

I don’t recall if you have done When Harry Met Sally, or Joe vs. the Volcano, but they both have a similar romcom wholesome tone

The thing about not going in the water after watching Jaws, is not just limited to you but it was a world wide effect lasting for decades.

When Mick told the time if you notice he looks at Walters watch first. He was just pretending to use the sun for showmanship.

The second one is just as good. And if you like movies like this, might I suggest: -Romancing the Stone(Part 1) -The Jewel of the Nile(Part 2) -Beverley Hills Cop saga -Big(Tom Hanks) -Captain Fantastic -Walkabout(Aussie movie) -Coming to America -Ghost World -Grosse Pointe Blank *more to come

Davy Crockett is a historical figure that's like an American folk hero, that was known as a frontiersman, that existed in the wild country in parts of the US before they were very populated or tamed, so to speak. Later he became a politician, and had been in the US Congress, and then got involved in the "Texas Revolution", if you want to call it that. That's another American thing that you're probably not familiar with, but at that time, pre the Mexican/American War, much of the South West of the US was still part of Mexico after having previously been colonized by the Spanish. Yeah, we once actually did have a war with Mexico in the 1840s, which is when we defeated them and claimed that area as our own, and is often considered the training ground for our Civil War that followed fifteenish years later. Anyways, prior to that the Mexican government agreed to allow American settlers into what became Texas, under the condition that they become Mexican citizens, and abide by Mexican law, primarily the part that insisted that slavery was not allowed. They didn't, and just ignored Mexican law, just did what ever they wanted to, and when the Mexican government objected, they just insisted that Texas was now theirs, which instigated a war with the Mexican government. Perhaps you may have heard of The Alamo, which was an old Spanish mission that the Texans were using as a fort, and many volunteers, including Davy Crockett, came to help defend the Alamo, and they were all destroyed by the larger Mexican Army, but the incident inspired more people to fight and eventually defeat the Mexican Army, and Texas briefly became an independent country of its own, or so they claimed, before being annexed by the US, which eventually kicked of the larger war between the US and Mexico, which we eventually won. Anyways, Disney had a Davy Crockett TV show in the 50s or 60s, Davy Crockett: King of the Wild Frontier, as well as, well, now a couple movies about The Alamo, which further established his legend in American culture. I'm not sure how historically accurate it is, but he's often portrayed as wearing a racoon skin hat, which after the TV show became a popular thing, and sometimes in things that portray that era, you'll see a child wearing a coonskin cap like that. Probably sounds very weird if you're not American, but it is a very American thing.

A phsychologist is someone with training/a degree in psychology. A psychiatrsist also has a medical license. If you (can) get drugs, it is a psychiatrist.

Curiously enough, the movie actually kinda sorta mirrors their Dundee and Sue's own history. Paul Hogan was married during the film, but hit it off with Linda Kozlowski on the job, Divorced his current wife, and re-married together between this movie and the sequel. They later divorced as well, but on very amicable terms.

The next 2 in the series are just as good. And the two of them did another movie worth watching called "Almost an Angel."

27:51 Not until the hotel at the beginning of "Ringmaster"

This was an amazing movie when it came out. At the time, most Americans and those in the west didn't know much about Australia or the life there, people, etc. This was really the first introduction other than maybe the nature channel to the "Australian" way of life and people, and Paul Hogan was the first Australian superstar that most people encountered and knew about. Of course later you would have great people like Steve Irwin and his family, and then a huge influx of Australian actors and stars that ramped it up like Hugh Jackman, Margot Robbie, Chris Hemsworth, and many others. If i remember, before this movie came out most Americans really just knew the continent and not much else, it wasn't popular or known in western cinema or was many actors from the continent.

Best recommendation like this... Crocodile Dundee 2. Basically a continuation of the first one. I think it's just as good.

Paul Hogan and Linda Kowalski were married, I'd watch them in " Almost an Angel " another great underrated film

its pretty common to ride in the front of a taxi in Australia, particularly when you are travelling alone. if you sit in the back alone its almost like your saying your 'to good' to sit up front with them.

In the US, a psychiatrist is also a licensed medical doctor and may prescribe drugs. Either a psychologist or a licensed therapist are not medical doctors and may not prescribe drugs.

16:00 An Australian trying to tell an American how to use a firearm. That is.. uncalled for 😂

Its illegal to kill, buy, sell or possess a kangaroo normally, however when then numbers are over a certain number then certain people can get licenses to cull the numbers.

Consider vacationing around Priest Lake, Idaho in the US. There's Upper Priest Lake where no motorized boats allowed and there's no motorized vehicle access. There's Priest Lake itself with resorts and vacation rentals. There are alpine lakes above Priest Lake in the Selkirk Mountains with hiking or mountain bike access only. Hiking the Selkirks is amazing (but probably infeasible with a little one). Grizzly bear sightings are rare. Attacks almost unheard of, but don't watch The Revenant before you visit.

Having a bidet isn't about being fashionable. It is about being clean. I think there should be one in every household that can afford it, as well as public bathrooms. It just doesn't make sense when you get poop on you to just wipe it with a tissue. You wouldn't do that when you get poop on your hands. Btw - Paul Hogan (Crocodile Dundee) and Linda Kozlowski (Sue Charlton) got married for real a few years after the first 2 movies were made. Unfortunately, that marriage ended after 23 years.

Crocodile Dundee 2 is also a fun watch. Also more of a story plot to it.

When I finally sat down and watched this whole movie as an adult (having seen some clips on TV growing up), I didn't know what to do with myself because it was so entertaining and endearing! Romancing the Stone is in the same vein of adventure and chemistry and definitely worth a watch. Also any Harrison Ford movie like Raiders, Last Crusade, or Working Girl (for New York) have quite a lot of charm 😊 As a side note, have you seen Grumpy Old Men? It and its sequel aren't adventure movies but they are quite fun! Anytime you want a feel-good movie, I would highly recommend checking those out.
