Once in a long while,
a movie comes along, which contains an actor who is so
cool, he redefines the Term. Bruce Campbell in the Evil Dead
trilogy, Corey
Haim in Liscence to Drive, Corey Feldman in Rock and Roll High
School Forever.
Well, add to that list Paul Hogan in Crocodile Dundee.
Here's the plot. A reporter (sue)
wants to do a story on Michael J aka mick
aka crocodile dundee, so she goes to his home in Walkabout Creek
Australia.
Then Mick does a bunch of incredibly cool stuff. He goes to
NYC and meets
Sue's boyfriend Richard, who is a complete jackass. He does
a bunch more cool
stuff. The movie ends.
I was going to try to list all of
the cool things crocodile dundee does, but
there was no room. Instead I'll try to point out the higlights.
1. He says he wasn't scared of death because "I read the
bible once. All
about God, Jesus, and the apostles. They were fishermen, just
like me. Yup,
straight to Heaven for Mick Dundee." He has a firm grasp
on religion.
2. He uses his hat as an ashtray.
3. He throws a can of soup at a purse stealer.
4. He clocks Richard in the face.
5. Of course, then, there's the famous "that's not a knife,
that's a knife"
scene with the mugger.
But we have to give credit to Carl
Winslow from family matters in a strong
supporting role. He takes the curvy thing off of a limo and
uses it as a
boomerang.
Basically, this movie rocks. I give
it 3.5 stars out of 4. Go see it now.
It will rock your world.
