Crocodile Dundee

Crocodile Dundee follows Mick Dundee, a rugged Australian bushman famous for surviving a crocodile attack, who is brought to New York City by a journalist writing his story. Fish out of water comedy ensues as the down-to-earth, knife-wielding outdoorsman encounters the chaos and culture of urban American life. The film became a global phenomenon, turning Paul Hogan into an international star and spawning two sequels.

• Paul Hogan co-wrote the script and produced the film himself.
• The film became the highest-grossing Australian movie ever made.
• Hogan was a former Sydney Harbour Bridge rigger before acting.
• The iconic knife scene was largely improvised on set.
• Linda Kozlowski married co-star Paul Hogan in real life.

• That's not a knife. THAT'S a knife.
• You call that a knife?
• He's got a gun. Well, you can have that one.
• Me and the crocodile, we just looked at each other.
• It's like going to see your dentist. Nothing to worry about.
