VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Konterr Brilliant and touching
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
Scarlet The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
Uriah43 Having relocated from his home in Australia to New York City, "Mick Dundee" (Paul Hogan) is trying his best to somehow fit in with the "Big Apple". One thing is for sure he definitely leaves an impression where ever he goes. Be that as it may, when his journalist girlfriend, "Sue Charlton" (Linda Kozlowski) is kidnapped by a vicious drug boss named "Luis Rico" (Hechter Ubarry) he immediately goes into action to rescue her. Since he is obviously out of his element in the big city he asks the meanest hombre he knows "Leroy Brown" (Charles Dutton) for his advice. All mayhem follows. Now rather than reveal any more of this movie I will just say that this was a decent sequel to its predecessor with the second half of the movie being a bit more exciting than the first. At least in my opinion. Again, while this movie isn't quite as good as the first film it still has some good qualities and because of that I have rated it accordingly. Slightly above average.
Python Hyena Crocodile Dundee 2 (1988): Dir: John Cornell / Cast: Paul Hogan, Linda Kozlowski, Charles S. Dutton, John Meillon, Stephen Root: A complete reversal of the original cliché driven comedy. Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski return as the odd couple living in New York. She is eventually kidnapped and held hostage but Dundee saves the day aided by Leroy Brown and his gang. They will eventually head back to Australia because the movie completely lacks any originality. Good photography cannot blindside the fact that this is just a predictable rehash. Director John Cornell manages to make the Australian night sequences effectively haunting but his screenplay is uninspiring. Hogan created Mick Dundee as an interesting case study of humour and culture but here he is basically reciting and so is Kozlowski as his damsel wife. Charles S. Dutton plays the standard issue Leroy Brown. He is amusing but perhaps had the spotlight been on him then maybe there would be something to be benefited. The one role that stood out positively is John Meillon as a friend of Mick's. The role isn't overly broad but he brings humour particularly during a small plot turn involving him aiming a gun at what he believes is the right target. Stephen Root in an early role as a DEA agent and he will thankfully go on to do better things. Low grade sequel should be buried somewhere in the outback. Score: 2 / 10
Spikeopath After the coinage and all round good will generated by the first Crocodile Dundee movie, the sequel was inevitable. This time the formula is reversed as Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) is forced to take his lady, Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski), back to the wilds of Australia in order to protect her from gangsters. There, Mick, with all his Outback skills, starts to pick the gangsters off one by one.Nah. I don't need a gun. I got a Donk!Within the plot structure there are numerous occasions for Dundee inspired jokes and scenarios, where although they are not as strong as in the first movie, they are amusing and not straining for the laugh factor. The genuine chemistry between real life couple Hogan and Kozlowski is evident and keeps the film grounded in warmth. Hogan is such a likable guy, he's a natural at playing the rugged adventurer type, and it's his charisma that rightly drives the picture forward. He throws a great punch as well, very believable.Returning characters like Wally and Donk are reassuring presences, while Charles Dutton as Leroy Brown provides solid comedy foil for Dundee during the New York part of the plot. The Northern Territory of Australia is once again the visual bonus (cinematography again by Russell Boyd), though we never really get the sweeping shots the setting deserves, and Peter Best once again provides an appropriate musical score for the two continent setting without pushing anything new on us. Problems elsewhere? There's a raft of stereotypes, particularly with the Ernie Dingo led villains, while the unoriginality of the story (a rehash of the first film) is a touch frustrating.Not exactly great and not deserving of the ill advised second sequel that followed 13 years later, part 2 of Mick and Sue's adventures is none the less still a fun way to spend an afternoon. 6.5/10
FilmBuff1994 Crocodile Dundee 2 is a good enough with a decent story line,a fairly good cast and some funny parts,I wasn't that fund of the first Crocodile Dundee,but this one definitely isn't as good,its a typical comedy sequel,the story is unusual compared to the original,but Paul Hogan still make enjoyment of the movie with his performance being as good as ever,but fans of the original will definitely be disappointed by this sequel.Sue,now married to Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee,is kidnapped by gangsters involved in a drug baron,and its upto Crocodile Dundee to save his wife.-6/10-DILLON HARRIS
