Crocodile Dundee (1986)
When a New York reporter plucks crocodile hunter Mick Dundee from the Australian Outback for a visit to the Big Apple, it's a clash of cultures and a recipe for good-natured comedy as naïve Dundee negotiates the concrete jungle. He proves that his instincts are quite useful in the city and adeptly handles everything from wily muggers to high-society snoots without breaking a sweat.

Such a classic! Easy watching, quotable lines, a rough around the edges romance, with some great characters
CROCODILE DUNDEE is a film every bit as likable and laid back as its main character. It's really the love child of Paul Hogan, who really had no career of any kind outside of this role. CROCODILE DUNDEE is a classic fish-out-of-water comedy in which an adventurer from the Australian outback arrives in New York and proceeds to experience a vivid kind of culture shock. I normally don't care for romantic comedies, but this one's genuinely funny, with sharp one-liners and edgy humour that wouldn't pass muster these days. Hogan is excellent in the part and dripping with charisma, while Linda Kozlowski makes an impact in what could have been an insipid part. Watch out for David Gulpilil's cameo, the funniest part of the film for me.
An American reporter goes to the Australian outback to meet an eccentric crocodile poacher and invites him to New York City. Crocodile Dundee mostly works thanks to a very nice performance by Paul Hogan who seems like he is having fun with the role since he came back twice after this one in 1988 and 2001. The movie is smart, the characters are likable, the acting is really good and it's not one of those typical 1986 boring films this really surprised the hell out of me i laughed out loud a lot of times but Michael J. 'Crocodile' Dundee is also a great character that you can stand by and Linda Kozlowski who plays Sue in the movie is drop dead gorgeous i really want to see the other 2 movies really bad right now because this one definitely gets a 10 out of 10.
I really enjoyed this movie, thru and thru, I guess there are a few reasons.. one is there are a lot of different animals featured,, great scenes of the Australian Outback,, kind of a fish out of water story,, kind of all made sense to me,, we are introduced to Mick J. Dundee,, a man who wrestles crocodiles for a living. A female reporter is doing a human interest story and decides to go to Australia and visit him, and interview him about his near death experience,, there after they meet and he saves her life a time or two,, the two eventually become attached,, she invited him back to New York,, where the man she is seeing proposes to her,, he is a jerk, and Mick knocks him out,, eventually our lady reporter friend has to make a choice between her fiancée and our Crocodile Man,, very good movie,, you will not stop laughing especially the part where ,,they are on a NY st. and about to get mugged and a guy pulls out a knife, and Mick laughs at him pulls out his knife and says " this is a knife", and the man runs off scared shitless.
