Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles is an awful movie with a very poorly written storyline and a cast that just don't seem interested. I wasn't a huge fan of the first Dundee, it was watchable and quite funny and that was about it, the second one was much worse, losing a lot of the heart and humour that made the original so loved, but this one completely runs it all down in to the ground, the set up of the story is ridiculous and even the title will tell you that they completely sold out with this sequel. The majority of the cast seemed to have no interest being in this film, except for Paul Hogan, who does honestly in all three movies keep the same confidence and charisma that is definitely needed to play this character, his acting is certainly not the reason the film stumbles, it's mostly the script. This film has a problem that a lot of comedy sequels seem to have, they just mess around for most of the movie, basically watching the actors do a bunch of stupid things for the first hour and then desperately trying to cram in a story for the final thirty minutes, comedies are obviously suppose to be funny but when you're just making jokes for an immensely long time and not focusing on the story one bit, it can get unbearable for the audience, particularly when the jokes aren't funny. A finale that will surely disappoint fans of the Dundee series and very few laughs, I would not recommend Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles to anyone. Crocodile Dundee most move to Los Angeles with son, where he gets caught up in a lot of trouble. Best Performance: Paul Hogan Worst Performance: Mike Tyson

I get that some people wanted something more here. But it's another Croc. Dundee movie. What did you expect?I get that the first move WAS original, and this is more of a silly comedy. What's wrong with silly comedies, anyway?I found it cute and funny. Turn you brain off here. I get that some people won't find it funny, because comedy is not universal. But I laughed throughout the movie in spite of the jokes being nothing new. I think because Paul Hogan pulls it off so well.Of course the thugs were incompetent. That's the style. Who cares if the plot was a little silly - it's a silly comedy. It works in the context of this sort of movie. Think 80s style action comedies even though this was not an 80s movie. If you can only stomach more modern cynical stuff I feel sorry for you, but if so, don't watch this.I think the kid was an OK edition. I always liked the lead female character as wellI can't believe some of the low ratings here. I have seen films I would rate a 4 or below, and I can't see how people can equate this film to those films. They are zero redeeming qualities unlike this pretty decent light comedy.

The story: Dundee and Kozlowski have been together and have had a son, though they didn't marry (this is pointed out in the movie). Then Kozlowski is contacted by her newspaper publisher father to go to Los Angeles to work there, and the others come along. Once there, Dundee is a fish out of water again-which is much less credible after 13 years of having lived with a native New Yorker. Rehash many of the jokes from the prior movies, add a thin plot of their getting involved with a movie studio which is involved in drug smuggling, and there you have it.Overlong, slow, and dull. Even if the original charmed you, this movie will not. Don't expect a "Crocodile Dundee Four"; Paul Hogan was age 62 when he made this one!

I remember seeing a short trailer on TV for this third instalment, I said to someone that it was meant to be rubbish, it was only years later I realised that was true to life, from director Simon Wincer (Free Willy). Basically Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee (Paul Hogan) and girlfriend Sue Charleton (Linda Kozlowski) have settled into a life living in Mick's home country of Australia, along with their son Mikey (Serge Cockburn). Sue has been contacted by her father who owns a newspaper, and he needs her to return home to America to help on an article, and Mick with Mikey in tow come along with her. They are now in Los Angeles, California, where the newspaper article leads Sue to a sleazy film producer, and Mick gets a job as a monkey wrangler at the Hollwood studio he owns. This is obviously an undercover thing, while at the same time there are the small occasions where Mikey and his father are the fish out of water like before. The big cover looks like a big drug deal, and it involves some pricey paintings, and in the end Mick foils the plan and stop the gangsters, and Mick and Sue with their son return to Australia to officially marry. Also starring Jere Burns as Arnan Rothman, Jonathan Banks as Milos Drubnik, Alec Wilson as Jacko, Gerry Skilton as Nugget O'Cass, Steve Rackman as Donk, David Ngoombujarra as Arthur, Aida Turturro as Jean Ferraro, Paul Rodriguez as Diego, Mike Tyson and George Hamilton. With the second film being made thirteen years before, and Hogan being sixty two years old, it was pretty obvious this might not work, it is a ridiculous story that repeats all the once charming laughs with the out of place outlander, and I agree not even the catchphrase "No worries, mate" sparks a smile, a boring and pointless comedy adventure. It was nominated the Razzie for Worst Remake or Sequel. Poor!
