Short description

When a New York reporter plucks crocodile hunter Mick Dundee from the Australian Outback for a visit to the Big Apple, it's a clash of cultures and a recipe for good-natured comedy as naïve Dundee negotiates the concrete jungle. He proves that his instincts are quite useful in the city and adeptly handles everything from wily muggers to high-society snoots without breaking a sweat.

What's left behind the scenes

There are two versions of the film: Australian and American/International. In the international version, many Australian slang words have been replaced with more common expressions, and it is also slightly shorter due to the absence of several scenes.
In the American theatrical release, the word 'Crocodile' in the film's title was placed in quotation marks so that some viewers would not think that Dundee was actually a real crocodile.
In the scene where Mick Dundee is in the hotel bathroom, the film 'Major Dundee' (1965) is playing on television in the other room.
The original version of the film had a runtime of 104 minutes.
It was released in Soviet cinemas in 1988 under the title "Dandy nicknamed Crocodile".
The enraged wild buffalo that Mick Dundee tames was pumped with sedatives for safety reasons.
After Mick scares off drunken poachers hunting kangaroos by hiding behind the carcass of a dead kangaroo and shooting from behind it, making them think the shot came from the animal, he turns to the dead kangaroo and says, "Good job, Skippy." This is a reference to the popular Australian children's television series of the 1960s, "Skippy," which tells the story of a boy's friendship with a wild kangaroo of the same name.
In the American theatrical release, the word Crocodile in the film's title was placed in quotation marks so that some viewers wouldn't think Dundee was actually a real crocodile.
It was released in Soviet cinemas in 1988 under the title "Dundee nicknamed Crocodile".
