Paul Hogan is a popular Australian comedian whose shows were popular even on British television in the early 1980s. His foray into films hit Bullseye on his first attempt with Crocodile Dundee.This third instalment was a greatest hits package and looks like a tired retread. Hogan looks he has been smoothed out and the delicious Linda Kozlowski seemed to have piled on a few pounds hence why she seems to be dressed in black all the time.Mick Dundee heads to LA as his wife takes on an assignment to investigate a shady film production company in a plot that involves smuggling of supposedly destroyed paintings.Dundee decides to help out by being an extra on the film and later an American wrangler. At the same time Dundee now accompanied by his son and later on in the film by another Crocodile Hunter makes a few observations about LA life and there are cameos from Mike Tyson and George Hamilton.The film is a nice way to pass the time, its family friendly fun which can be enjoyed with the kids who have not watched the original.The film lacks the freshness of the original and the gags have been seen and heard before and it was funnier the first time around.

Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) travels to the city of smog and stars with his young son (Serge Cockburn) in tow.No one should have had big expectations for this film, with its 1980s character now in the year 2001, with Paul Hogan noticeably aged and Linda Kozlowski looking like she had a few plastic surgery disasters. And Serge Cockburn is just annoying -- everything about this movie would be better if the kid was removed entirely (he really played no important part in the story).And yet, it is still pretty funny with a not-too-terrible mystery plot. What crime, if any, is being committed? And can Mick get to the bottom of it? These may not be the ruthless drug dealers of part two, but movie producers can be some vicious folks, as well!

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!

Okay, it was marginally better than I expected, but compared to the first two, which were flawed and entertaining this isn't really worth bothering with. The scenery and photography are good and Paul Hogan, while getting on a bit, is still very likable. But the thing, the film isn't really entertaining, with the comedy missing more than it hits(someone say "No worries mate" no longer counts as comedy, please), the plot is very slight, the pacing is uneven with one too many parts dragging and the direction is much too slow and soporific. Also what made the first two so charming and entertaining, the innocent abroad act, outback wisdom and the crocodile-hunting bravado, doesn't work as well here. Overall, it had its moments but it is really a sequel too far and not particularly worth watching except for Hogan. 3/10 Bethany Cox
