| "Crocodile" Dundee | comment |
"Crocodile" Dundee is a 1986 Action-Adventure Romantic Comedy film directed by Peter Faiman, starring Paul Hogan in the title role and co-starring Linda Kozlowski.Sue Charlton (Kozlowski) travels to Australia to do some research on a story she'd heard about a man who survived a vicious crocodile attack in the bush. Who she finds is Mick "Crocodile" Dundee (Hogan), a quick-witted bushman who, it turns out, did not lose his leg to the vicious croc—but who seems to have an uncanny symbiosis with the Australian Outback. When Sue must return to New York City, she invites Mick to accompany her, and Hilarity Ensues when he becomes the Fish out of Water who is not so accustomed to the city as to the bush. Ultimately, she falls in love with the charismatic Australian, but must decide whether to go with him back to Australia or remain with her current boyfriend, Richard Mason (Mark Blum)."Crocodile" Dundee is most notable for being the highest-grossing movie to come out of Australia generally and the Australian New Wave specifically. The film's popularity in the United States and elsewhere is credited with spreading the image of the Awesome Aussie across the world, and with providing an immense boost to the Australian tourism industry thanks to its lavish depiction of the Outback.A sequel, Crocodile Dundee II, followed in 1988. It has Mick, now living in New York, running afoul of a gang of vengeful Colombian drug dealers. After humiliating them on their home turf, he's told by the police to go into witness protection, but instead leads them back to Australia where his superior knowledge of the Outback will prove to be advantageous.A third film, Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles, was released in 2001. Mick and Sue are together but unmarried and have a son: Mikey Charlton (Devon Fitzgerald). They live in the Australian Outback, where Mick is wrestling crocodiles for a living. When Sue is offered a major position in a Los Angeles newspaper, she jumps at the opportunity and Mick and Mikey follow her. But all is not right. Her predecessor was murdered, and the case remains unsolved. The Dundees have to perform their own investigation.Before Super Bowl LII, there were trailers for Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home circulating around. Trailers featuring Chris Hemsworth as one of the stars went around. These turned out to be fake and were the set up for commercials for Australian Tourism.However, in the wake of those commercials, talks for a real movie started and the production of The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee began five months later. Rather than playing "Crocodile" Dundee, Hogan plays a fictionalized version of himself but repeatedly falls victim to Actor/Role Confusion. Trailers for The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee started making their rounds in March of 2020 and the movie was supposed to hit theaters on April 30. COVID-19 scuttled the theatrical release, and the film ended up going direct-to-streaming, specifically Amazon Prime Video, on July 17. | |

The Bogan | |
| "Crocodile" Dundee / int_1b5e0e5b | comment |
The Bogan: Mick Dundee plays with this — while he's a Nice Guy and even a Knight in Shining Armor, a lot of the humor in the films revolves around how, as someone who's grown up in the Australian Outback, he's direct, sometimes Innocently Insensitive and in a few occasions even violent and the city folk (who are highly sensitive at best and at worst are heavily two-faced) get blind-sided as a result. | |

Badbutt: Leeroy Brown. He has a reputation at the community bar for his tough-guy demeanor and for selling what the bartender maintains is illicit substances. Turns out the "heavy shit" he regularly sells is nothing worse than simple office supplies, and his gangsteresque persona is just an act to live up to the pop-cultural reputation of his name. However, he does have connections with genuine tough guys who he enlists to help Mick rescue Sue. | |

Awesome Aussie: Mick Dundee, the trope codifier. Downplayed by way of Miles Gloriosus. Michael J. Dundee's famous claims turn out to have been substantially exaggerated, and he's a bit clueless when out of his element. However, what's left when the tall tales have been scraped away is still a tough-as-nails bush-ranger who traps live crocodiles for a living, is a crack shot at knife throwing and can outsmart an armed-to-the-teeth Columbian drug cartel on his own. | |

Mistaken for Misogynist: Sue interprets Mick’s scoffing at the idea of her being in the outback alone because of her gender, rather than the fact that she is from the city and is therefore not familiar with the dangers of the Australian outback. Even after saving her from a crocodile he doesn’t dismiss her capability and even commends the fact that she lives in the city, which he says sounds far more dangerous than the wilderness. | |

Crotch-Grab Sex Check: In the bar scene, a patron tells Dundee that an attractive woman he's flirting with is "a guy". Dundee walks up to them and grabs their genitals, causing them to run off in embarrassment and the bar to burst out laughing. It comes back to bite him at a party when Sue introduces Mick to a VERY masculine-seeming friend of hers. Mick does the crotch grab again, and not only learns she's genetically female but also succeeds in getting her attention. | |

Mood Whiplash: The second half of the second film. The drug lord and his men are deadly serious, and truly threatening, but Mick is basically playing games with them, and isn't taking the situation seriously. In his defense, he so thoroughly outclasses them in the bush that he doesn't really have to take them seriously (considering that he's able to kidnap one of them, unharmed, from right out of their camp in the middle of the night, it shows how incompetent they are - he could have cut all their throats in their sleep and ended it right then and there). | |

Market-Based Title: Downplayed. Notice that the U.S. release poster pictured above puts quotation marks around Crocodile? That's because Paramount's marketing department wanted to clarify that the movie wasn't about an animal. If this seems silly, keep in mind that the North American release was in September 1986, and in the immediate wake of movies that actually did involve animals — namely The Fly (1986) and Howard the Duck. This marketing alteration also was used for the first sequel, but dropped for the second. | |

The question of why Mick even needs a knife that big is answered perfectly when he uses it to save Sue from a crocodile attack in the Outback. | |

| "Crocodile" Dundee / int_d0883f7e | comment |
Broken Heel: Inverted when Sue is running to catch Dundee in the subway, but slowed by her high heels. She kicks them off and starts sprinting. | |

Refuge in Audacity | |
| "Crocodile" Dundee / int_d45c0b86 | comment |
Refuge in Audacity: How Mick gets away with some of his antics, perhaps most notably blast fishing in the Hudson and then offering the police one of his catches when they investigate (part of it is also that the Officer In Charge who responds knows Mick already). | |

Hypocrite: The man who accuses Mick of being a poacher is discovered to be one himself when Mick and Sue encounter him and a gang of drunken hunters shooting at fleeing kangaroos out in the bush. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| "Crocodile" Dundee / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: The tracker Luis brings in to help them track Mick in the Outback. The second he learns that it's Dundee they're chasing, he immediately vanishes into the bush. Denning and Erskine, two other locals hired by Luis, try to pull this in the climax once they realize how nuts Luis is, and how out of their depth they actually are. Nugget, Donk, and several of Mick's Aboriginal friends don't let them get far. | |

No Antagonist | |
| "Crocodile" Dundee / int_e0aed924 | comment |
No Antagonist: The first film is very much a Fish out of Water Rom Com for Sue in Australia and Mick in New York, it has no real antagonist to speak of. The crocodile, kangaroo poachers, New York muggers and the Gang members are all one-scene minor threats without much plot importance. The second and third movies do have antagonists however (Drug Dealers and Art Thieves). | |

Very Loosely Based on a True Story | |
| "Crocodile" Dundee / int_e4b69188 | comment |
Very Loosely Based on a True Story: The inspiration for Mick Dundee and his antics in New York were (perhaps somewhat shamelessly) inspired by the recounts of one Rod Ansell, an Australian bushman who was stranded in the Australian outback after an accident sank his river boat. Rod's inherent charisma and his tendency to "embellish" how he survived eventually landed him on a national talk show and from there the character of Mick Dundee was created. Rod's eventual fate compared to Mick's, however, was somewhat different. | |

Secretly Wealthy | |
| "Crocodile" Dundee / int_e9c022ea | comment |
Secretly Wealthy: It turns out that Mick has claim on an enormous tract of land called Billongamick (translation: "Mick's Place"). He inherited it from his uncle, and it's so big that a person might need 3-4 days to walk across it. It's completely worthless except for a gold mine; he calls this the "Reserve Bank" and thinks of it as a retirement fund of sorts. | |

Groin Attack: Near the end of the first movie, Sue rushes to the subway in an attempt to stop Dundee from leaving New York. During her sprint, she runs into a lascivious street hobo who refuses to let her pass, forcing Sue to quickly knee him in the groin so that she can continue on her way. | |

Distracted by the Sexy | |
| "Crocodile" Dundee / int_f10d3363 | comment |
Distracted by the Sexy: A rather serious example. While in the Outback, Sue convinces Mick to let her go out for a walk alone to prove to him that she can. He follows along from a short distance, because he doesn't think it's safe. Eventually, Sue gets a little careless and spellbound by the scenery, and strips down to her thong bathing suit by a pool, and Mick is a little distracted, bumping his head on a branch. (But fortunately not too distracted, as his concern turns out to be truer than he thought; a crocodile tries to grab at her, and he has to leap to her rescue.) | |

Da Editor: Richard Mason is Sue's editor back at the newspaper, Newsday. At the start of the film he's urging her to return to New York from her assignment in Australia, but that's mainly so he can propose to her. | |

Comically Missing the Point | |
| "Crocodile" Dundee / int_fbd285b7 | comment |
Comically Missing the Point: Mikey tells his schoolteacher that Dundee hunts and kills crocodiles for a living, which she naturally assumes to be a lie. When she informs Dundee of this, he's shocked... because he would never kill a crocodile, since they're a protected species. He instead catches them alive. | |

Mighty Whitey: Dundee tries to play himself up as a Mighty Whitey, with all of the survival skills of the bushmen and all the cosmopolitan skills of the white world. In reality, the bushmen are just as modern as Sue is, and Mick's pretty out of touch with actual big city culture. | |

Innocently Insensitive: Mick asks Gus the limo driver what tribe he is from, assuming he's an Aboriginal like those he knows back home (the term blackfella is a Australian colloquialism for Aboriginals). Gus is offended at first, but seems to take it in stride, as Mick is nothing but kind to and admiring of him. Later he confirms his "tribal" nature by telling Mick that he is part of the Harlem Warlords gang. | |
