adonis98-743-186503 Australian Outback adventurer Mick "Crocodile" Dundee travels to Los Angeles with his young son while his longtime companion suspects foul play at a movie studio. Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles basically Crocodile Dundee III is thank god the last of this movies although it's fun like the critics said the movie suffers from poor comedy it comes recycled most of the time and is it me? or did this film copied a lot of elements from Beverly Hills Cop 3? Another 3rd film that many people hated. Paul Hogan is still good old but good, Linda Kozlowski's character Sue isn't much in the film but she is still nice and the kid did a nice job and the Mike Tyson cameo was nice it was alright. Now Jere Burns and Jonathan Banks were easily the worst of this film the villains if you can even call them that were cartoons 100% they just didn't have any power over the hero of the film the previous ones from the 2nd film had but this? Not even close. Also the plans for this movie took decades and that is what really hurts the movie for me cause 1 and 2 came out in the 80's and this one in 2001 so you get what i'm trying to say. It was a fun sequel but a very unnecessary one that lost the touch and the charisma of the previous 2 movies.
Fluke_Skywalker Crocodile Dundee's third go 'round is actually a bit more generically entertaining than the somewhat leaden 'Crocodile Dundee II'. Here they dust off the fish out of water shtick again, substituting L.A. stereotypes for New York ones, but that kinda makes it feel freshish. Especially if you decide to watch the three films over consecutive days for some sad, completionist reason.They keep the Croc as a man of action thing from part II, but instead of drug dealers, he's facing off against art thieves. On paper that's a major downgrade, but the tone here is even more overtly family friendly than the moderately softened second film, and it actually almost kinda sorta works in fits and starts.This might be the most unnecessary sequel ever, but it's far from the worst.
Phil Hubbs Well I guess you know what I'm gonna say about this third sequel. The first film was great and the second was decent enough but was walking a tightrope in terms of how much further they could take the franchise. This final film falls from that tightrope right into a large vat of poo.The idea is weak, so very weak. The intrepid bushman is back, this time in LA, why? because his love must go there to run the family newspaper business for a time. This of course equals lots of pathetic predictable visual gags that refer to LA culture and anything remotely well known in the area. For example Dundee goes to Paramount Studios for a tour, he ends up as an extra on movie sets and there is a hideous cameo by Mike Tyson, pretty much all the things you would expect from a comedy film set in the vile city of LA.Its sad because it just seems that LA has nothing to offer in terms of locations or ideas that somehow don't end up revolving around the film business. I mean there are other tacky moments of course, you have the obligatory attempted drive by mugging by some stereotypical Latin American youths, dubious nightclubs, airhead blondes, fast food drive thru's etc...but still the whole thing still ends up revolving around the movie business with most sequences taking place on movie sets.I get the impression that because the first two films were set in New York, movie folk in LA (the West) were jealous so they had to make another with Dundee in their neck of the woods battling with their cross cultural problems (gotta have something to do with LA it seems, can't not have that *groan*). I mean really, the whole notion is such a waste of time, you could of made a much better go of it in another country at least. Try Dundee in Japan or Russia or Italy or where ever! sure the whole idea is still stretched and pointless but at least it would be more interesting, but no lets make it in LA, cos we can't possibly leave out LA.Ignoring all rational advice we have this terrible result, a total cheese fest. Admittedly the continuity is again good with cast members returning, down side is Dundee now has a brat (son of 'Crocodile' Dundee? thank god not yet), luckily he is not involved too much which begs the question why put him in there in the first place?. Hogan still defies the laws of time and looks damn good as Dundee, his weather beaten tanned leathery face still looks youngish as does his body, makeup aside.With US/Hollywood meddling this final chapter in the Aussie franchise is a by the numbers load of fluffy crapola that didn't even need to be made. Could of been reasonable with better imagination, maybe a new location instead of boring LA...and what the hell happened to his croc skin waistcoat?! Guess that wasn't very PC for nowadays.3/10
Sean Kaye I found the script to be just one cliché after the next. Many reviewers here say it is good 'Family fun'. If I had kids I might understand what that means but it seems to mean 'non-offensive pablum for the masses' and that's about all it is. Watching it reminded me of seeing the 1978 Gilligan's Island movie which was very depressing. Paul Hogan was about 47 when he did the first Crocodile movie but he was about 62 in this one so it's just not believable -- after 15 years he's still wearing the same black hat, has the same naivety about city-slickers. The jokes and script are very poorly written. It's like they hired writers that normally write for teen TV sitcoms like 'The Suite Life'. BLECH! Don't waste your time.
