Radio Times

Quite what drove Paramount Studios to bankroll a third instalment in the “Crocodile” Dundee franchise — 13 years after the second — will be beyond anyone unlucky enough to sit through it. Characteristics that once seemed charming in star Paul Hogan (his “innocent abroad” act, outback wisdom and crocodile-hunting bravado) are now as weathered as his face. The slight story concerns a Hollywood backlot art heist uncovered by Dundee, while partner Sue (Linda Kozlowski, the real-life Mrs Hogan) is working in the LA office of her dad's mind-blowingly unrealistic newspaper. The direction is slow, bordering on the soporific and, at 62, Hogan seems to know he is too old for this schtick. Just saying “No worries, mate” no longer counts as comedy.

From the opening shot of a Jurassic Park-esque reptilian eye, you know you're in for a wild ride. As Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee (Paul Hogan) sits in a canoe sharpening his famous knife, a monstrous croc hides somewhere in the deep. Suddenly, it attacks, tearing Mick's boat to pieces and leaving him and mate Jacko (Alec Wilson) up a tree. Life for Mick can only get easier, right? When Mick arrives at home, he discovers longtime companion Sue's (Linda Kozlowski) newspaper-mogul father has called, and needs her help on an article at the paper's Los Angeles branch. Mick, who recognizes his importance in the modernizing bush is now no more than as a tourist attraction, agrees to join her, and together Mick, Sue, and son Mikey (Serge Cockburn) head for the wild country of L.A. Here the adventure truly begins, as Mick and Jacko brave a cowboy bar where the horsemen are of a different color, and a Hollywood film party where everyone seems interested in Mick's mate Malcolm 'Mal' Gibson's colorful exploits. Soon, Sue's article leads to a sleazy film producer, so Mick gets a job as a monkey wrangler at his studio, where his investigation uncovers some very sketchy goings-on.
