Paul Hogan returns for the third time as the unlikely backwoods hero Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee. This time round Mick and his partner Sue (Linda Kozlowski) leave their Outback home and relocate to Los Angeles. Sue takes an important job on a newspaper, but Mick finds it a little more difficult to adapt, and in his bemusement causes all kinds of mayhem. Nevertheless, Mick agrees to help Sue investigate a crooked film production company and, thanks to his talent with animals, is soon working with monkeys on the movie set, whilst looking around for clues. From .co.uk ----------- Made 13 years after the previous sequel, 2001's Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles sees Paul Hogan's likeable, heroic and unworldly Aussie hero accompany his partner Sue (Linda Kozlowski, Hogan's real-life wife) to Los Angeles. There he finds himself wrestling with the niceties of the Californian lifestyle somewhat less easily than he wrestles with crocs back in the outback. Sue, meanwhile, uncovers a smuggling plot involving artworks from Yugoslavia. Dundee duly steps forward to go undercover and--with a bit of muscle and survivalist nous--saves the day. As anyone who saw Escape from LA will testify, the moral here is: never make a sequel in Los Angeles. The kindest thing that can be said about this outing is that it is harmless. It exudes a family-friendly geniality throughout that almost makes its many flaws endurable--almost but not quite. Hogan--61 when he made this--makes for an embarrassingly implausible action hero, lacquered in trowel-loads of make-up to fill in the facial creases. The antipodean-abroad jokes are insultingly feeble; Dundee strolls into a gay bar by mistake, thinks the parking valet is a mugger, can't operate the remote control, etc. There's a cameo involving Mike Tyson that belongs nowhere and Kozlowski's performance only fuels suspicion that this is a husband and wife vanity project. If nothing else, Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles is proof that Hollywood's alleged stony-heartedness is a myth, for it can only have been out of charity and benevolence to an elderly Australian thespian down on his luck that this movie was given the green light. On the DVD: Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles is presented in anamorphic widescreen format with excellent image quality, bringing out the rich contrasts between the early outback scenes and the early establishing s of sunlit LA. Sound quality is impeccable also. The only extras, however, are the trailer and some "behind the scenes" clips so perfunctory and unrevealing they might as well not have bothered. --David Stubbs P.when('A').execute(function(A) { A.on('a:expander:toggle_description:toggle:collapse', function(data) { window.scroll(0, data.expander.$expander[0].offsetTop-100); }); }); From the Back Cover ------------------- Mick Crocodile Dundee (Paul Hogan), a living legend-who warmed our hearts and made us laugh our socks off in the yuppy 80's, lights up the screen once more in the third part of this epic saga. Along with the beautiful Sue (Linda Kozlowski) this time Mick's in Los Angeles, the home of the stars and the bizarre celebrity world of Tinseltown. This hilarious sequel sees Dundee once again charm the locals as he fights to beat LA street crime-the only way he knows how...outback style.
