About
On September 26, 1986, the film "Crocodile Dundee" was released in the United States, becoming an unexpected international blockbuster and launching the career of Australian actor Paul Hogan. The film, directed by Peter Faiman, was a fish-out-of-water comedy that followed the adventures of Mick "Crocodile" Dundee, a rugged Australian bushman who travels to New York City with an American reporter, played by Linda Kozlowski.
"Crocodile Dundee" was a massive success, grossing over $328 million worldwide on a modest $8.8 million budget. It became the second-highest-grossing film of 1986 in the United States and Canada, behind only "Top Gun." The film's success was particularly remarkable given its origins as a relatively low-budget Australian production.
Paul Hogan, who co-wrote the screenplay with Ken Shadie and John Cornell, based the character of Mick Dundee on his own experiences growing up in the Australian Outback. Hogan's charismatic performance and the film's charming blend of action, comedy, and romance struck a chord with audiences around the world.
The film's success also had a significant impact on Australian tourism, with many viewers inspired to visit the country after seeing the stunning landscapes and laid-back lifestyle portrayed in the movie. The iconic scene in which Dundee nonchalantly responds to a New York City mugger's knife by pulling out a larger knife and saying, "That's not a knife. That's a knife," became a cultural touchstone and remains widely quoted to this day.
"Crocodile Dundee" spawned two sequels: "Crocodile Dundee II" (1988) and "Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles" (2001), though neither quite captured the magic of the original. Nevertheless, the first film's impact on popular culture and its role in introducing Australian cinema to a wider international audience cannot be overstated.
The success of "Crocodile Dundee" also paved the way for other Australian actors and filmmakers to gain recognition in Hollywood, such as Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, and Baz Luhrmann. The film remains a beloved classic and a testament to the power of a simple, well-told story with a charismatic lead performance.
