Crocodile Dundee II Reviews

---

Darker, yet not bloody
This sequel is something of a departure from the original, less comic but equally character-driven, and gives us the opportunity to see Mick Dundee exercising his bush skills on his "native heath." The story reverses the geographical course of the original, taking Mick and girlfriend Sue Charlton from New York City back to the Northern Territories in an effort to escape the Colombian drug kingpin (Ubarry) who has targeted them for death. Bad guy Rico has the men and the guns, but Mick Dundee knows the territory, and he exploits that knowledge to the fullest. Like Matthew Quigley, he picks off (or scares off) Rico's men one or two at a time, but manages not to kill any of them, while still contriving to keep himself, Sue, and old partner Walt Reilly (Meillon) alive and unpunctured--and maintaining his lighthearted outlook on the world in general. A good comedy-adventure for families to share.

Croc is at it again!
Crocodile Dundee II is a classic. No matter how much one doesn't like the turn that this second film took, it will always be a memorable sequel. When you create a sequel, you're also supposed to "up" the level of conflict. And that called for a serious tone. But at the same time, they kept it as light as they could. It isn't bad at all. The drug dealers who followed Dundee and his Lady back to Australia were in for a shock.

What other sense of a sequel were we supposed to be provided with? I mean, they had to think of something. And this was it! It has a more intense conflict, still with a light tone applied to it-- and much humor. We are allowed a look into the life of Crocodile Dundee, and what he looks like when being confronted with a conflict on his own turf down under. It was nice to see him play games and run numbers on the bad guys. Quite memorable this film was, indeed!

Be sure to check out the third installment, "Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles" It's not as serious of a tone, but still a great watch!
