Review of Crocodile Dundee II (1988) by Originaldanger — 06 Jul 2020

Crocodile Dundee II is an adventure kind of action comedy made in 1988... It's the sequel to the original Crocodile Dundee film.... I did think once upon a time the original was much better but not sure if they are equal now due to how good Crocodile Dundee II actually is.

. Paul Hogan returns as Dundee and him and Sue Charlton played by Linda Kozlowski are living in New York so it's basically continuing on from the first... Some dude named Bob Tanner in Colombia takes pictures of a druglord killing somebody and Bob ends up dead.

The druglord gets his men to kidnap Sue Charlton because they are convinced Bob sent her a letter and the film containing evidence of the murder. Then Crocodile Dundee storms their fortress with the help of a gang and rescues Sue in a clever way.

Later Dundee and Sue hide out in Australia waiting for the druglord and his men to pursue them and it gets even grittier from there and pretty entertaining.... Crocodile Dundee II has many great moments like a jumper trying to throw himself off a building and Dundee himself nearly falls off it while trying to persuade him not to.

We have Dundee dangling a badguy from rope upside down at the top of a building and Dundee even smashes through a window. We have great humour, shootouts, pursuits, great music and more fun and adventure than the first so it's a great sequel and there's some action and violence in this one unlike the original.

Excellently directed I'd say this is a great film and follow up to the original. Also stars Juan Fernandez and Hechter Ubarry as Rico and of course John Meillon.
