Der berühmt-berüchtigte Krokodilfänger Mick Dundee kehrt aus dem australischen Busch zurück in den Großstadtdschungel von Los Angeles. Dort soll seine Freundin Sue Charleton ihrem Vater, einem Pressemagnaten, als erfahrene Journalistin unter die Arme greifen. Während sie vom Schreibtisch aus den dubiosen Machenschaften eines Filmstudios auf der Spur ist, greift Raubein Crocodile Dundee zu gewohnt handfesten Methoden. (ORF)

The beginning is good and properly Dundee-like, but as soon as the family starts moving out of the jungle, disaster looms. Unfortunately, in Los Angeles, a boring and predictable attempt to capture the old magic has emerged, but it lacks something like a plot. I like Hogan for his spontaneity, but unfortunately, this didn't turn out as expected.

I first saw this movie years ago at the Galaxie theater complex, the first time I heard Dolby Surround and, come to think of it, my first ever visit to a movie theater complex (several movies playing all at once! amazing!). The movie is no blockbuster, but I had a marvelous time watching it. No shortage of funny scenes and Dundee in L.A. works, also as Paul Hogan’s symbolic farewell to the silver screen.

But what the heck, I'll give the movie a little more points than another film would deserve. However, the Hogan-Kozlowski duo works well even in this third, at times slightly awkward film. Here, it's enough for me that my overall favorite characters are still here, and thanks to that, I had quite a good time. Some scenes are entertaining, that cannot be denied.
