Crocodile Dundee 1 & 2

Details

Starring Paul Hogan as the eccentric Australian crocodile poacher who becomes the subject of an article by an investigative journalist from New York, the Crocodile Dundee 1 & 2 boxset is a superb package of two of the funniest films of the 1980's.

The original story of the outback crocodile wrangler, who is taken back to America by the journalist doing an exposé on him, is a hilarious example of what can happen when two diverse cultures collide. Hogan's Mick Dundee is a fascinating characterisation that holds the audiences attention throughout. His straightforward life-philosophy and no-nonsense approach ensure that the adventure he undertakes is packed with laughs.

The sequel builds on the relationship between Mick and journalist Sue Charlton, played by Linda Kozlowski (Death of a Salesman, Village of the Dammed), as the pair travel back to Mick's homeland. They are followed by a gangster and his crew from New York and as the story unfolds, Mick leads them through the outback in an attempt to foil their plans.

Both films play on the 'fish-out-of-water' scenario and Hogan's central performance is genuine and played to perfection. The DVD boxset, in superb limited edition packaging, offers fans over 4 hours of superb entertainment and introduces the exploits of Mick Dundee to a whole new audience. Crocodile Dundee 1 & 2 boxset is available to own from Paramount Home Entertainment from 5th July 2004.
