Critics Consensus

Retelling its predecessor's same joke with diminishing returns, Crocodile Dundee II sees the franchise's enjoyability go down under.

Forged S

So, while this ISN'T a remake, it's a sequel, this is a prime example of Hollywood not understanding a character or property. Where the first movie is more or less a rom com, about a neglected, rejected fish-out-of-water character, the sequel finds its titular character taking on the role of action star (a fact addressed in the third movie during a meta-analysis of Hollywood and the need to change character motivations). Overall, this movie feels wildly out of place, especially during the first half, that feels uninspired, forced and poorly conceived. It isn't until the second half of the movie, when it returns to what made the first movie so great, that the sequel actually has any entertainment value.

This one is my favorite out of the 3 Crocodile Dundee movies. However, I do like them all. I'm still watching and enjoying this movie! They're just fun, nostalgic movies that I have enjoyed watching with friends and family on many occasions. Also, got the DVD! 😀

Oddly more entertaining from the first time I saw it.. I believe I saw it in the theater? CDII takes up where the 1st one left off, Mick (Dundee) and his lady are living the good life in NY, when an ex-bf of her's gets assassinated because of photos he took of his killers doing a drug deal, they begin looking for the film that has those pictures.. Well wouldnt you know it, those pics were mailed to NYC! So CD and GF need to hide out and they go back to Australia. Story up to this point is fun, but when it gets to Australia, it definitely slows down a lot of notches when CD takes on the drug lords in the outback. It just seemed a little TOO slow and methodical.

This sequel is the same as many other film sequels in terms of featuring a rather weak plot and relying on the same aspects of the first film to maintain the viewers interest and provide the comedy. I did think it was reasonably amusing and an easy watch to start with but the plot became really quite weak certainly mid way through, although I can't say it was exactly unwatchable but I certainly felt quite distracted and some scenes made me cringe. I wasn't entirely comfortable with the Australian stereotypes present, especially the depiction of the aborigines, which seemed particularly un-PC by modern day standards. Still, there were some amusing moments, slapstick type moments with the titular character in New York, accidentally becoming involved in other peoples situations, to put it one way. There is some reasonable choreography present and its a reasonably alright watch for the first half but the 2nd half lets it down. Overall, I'm not greatly impressed but I suppose it could be worse. I wouldn't especially recommend it as such, no.

Too slow to constitute an adventure and has too few laughs to be a comedy.

The violence is still pleasantly paddling-pool stuff, but the disarming G'day factor has been pasteurised away.

Like a vengeful prize to such torture, I find personal satisfaction in saying that this crocodile is only useful for make shoes, and wallets. [Full review in Spanish]

Film Frenzy

Much of the charm of Crocodile Dundee is from its lack of an overly aggressive plot; it unfolds at its own rhythm and refuses to insert any dramatic contrivances that would go against its very nature. Alas, that's not the case with Crocodile Dundee II.

Rated: 2/4

Gone With The Twins

Designed just to give Dundee a few more opportunities for humorous, heroic problem-solving rather than to create a worthwhile plot for the Australian's unique talents.
