Mick Dundee (Hogan) is still making his home in the tiny outback town of Walkabout Creek with his significant other Sue (Linda Kozlowski), and now joined by their young son Mikey (Serge Cockburn). Crocodile hunting has been made illegal, and Mick has been reduced to wrestling the animals for tourists. When an opportunity comes up for Sue to take over as L.A. bureau chief of a newspaper owned by her father, Mick and family cross the Pacific to California. There, Mick and his son's encounters with the natives cause more than a few cross-cultural mishaps, including a massive traffic jam on the freeway when the Dundees attempt an animal rescue. In the meantime, Mick becomes an amateur sleuth helping to probe the mysterious death of his wife's predecessor at the newspaper. Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles was inspired by star Hogan's real-life move to Los Angeles. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Mike Clark, USA Today
When movies have degraded to the point that Tyson is acting more than Quentin Tarantino is directing, maybe it is time for an industry shutdown, strike-induced or otherwise.
Peter Howell, Toronto Star
Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles is a shrimp that should have been cooked more thoroughly on the barbie, or never tossed on in the first place.
Bob Graham, San Francisco Chronicle
At this stage of the game, it's getting a little hard to present Dundee as a naif from the outback in the big city.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
A croc in more ways than one.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
The best thing about Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles is that it took 13 years to get made.
Nell Minow, Common Sense Media
Painfully stupid but kids love it. Go figure.
Jeffrey Westhoff, Northwest Herald (Crystal Lake, IL)
Becomes so laconic it forgets a movie ought to do something besides show you a lazy smile.
Harry Guerin, RTE Interactive (Dublin, Ireland)
There's the odd decent gag but you're too busy chanting the mantra 'Straight To Video, Straight To Video' to laugh.
James Sanford, Kalamazoo Gazette
When we last saw Mick "Crocodile" Dundee and his sweetheart Sue they were... Hmmm... Oh, that's right, in 1988, where they probably should have stayed.

Crodile Dundee is the Best!

Certainly not in the same league as the others and Paul Hogan 'surgery', just takes away all the character of the rough diamond Mickey Dundee we all knew and loved.

Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) agrees to go to LA with his son when his girlfriend Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski) gets offered a job doing a story on a shady movie studio run by bad guy Jere Burns. One too many but the third installment does provide light and fluffy entertainment that is relatively inoffensive and suitable for the entire family. Look out for the cool Mike Tyson cameo.

I love when he gets held up by some dudes on the street and he pulls out his foot-long bowie knife. That was awesome. And I'm almost certain it happened in this movie.

Paul Hogan still has the charm and has some funny moments. But this movie still has a made for dvd quality to it. It's nothing too special.
