Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles | 2001 | PG | - 3.4.3
The crocodile catcher (Paul Hogan) is back, but in this fish-out-of-water story the Australian follows his love (Linda Kozlowski) to Hollywood and ends up playing detective. Also with Jere Burns, Jonathan Banks and Serge Cockburn. [1:30]
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Mild kissing. We see what seem to be a woman's bare breasts in a painting (it's from a distance and there's a glare on the canvas). A few instances of women displaying cleavage. A young boy watches a woman walk away and comments on how nice her posterior is.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Threatening with guns, with a few shots fired but no one hurt. In two "jump" scenes a crocodile jumps out of the water and destroys a kayak with a man in it (both times the man is unharmed). A tree branch with two men sitting on it breaks and the men fall into crocodile-infested waters; a crocodile chases them all the way to the shore. A man punches a man in the neck and knocks him down. A boy throws a block at a rat and knocks it out and then picks it up by the tail. Two men jump on and crush the roof of a convertible with four boys in it; then they dump a trash can on it. A man hits a man over the head with a board. A man rams a door into another man, knocking him out. A man pushes a man off a tall ladder and he falls to the ground. A man is hit by several objects (including a big plastic cow) flying at him from a high-powered fan. Two men in an open bus crash into a wall. A man throws a hollow, plastic boulder over a man's head. A man throws a knife between a man's legs, nearly hitting his crotch. A man puts a gun to a woman's head. A few lions seem ready to charge at several men but do not. A man squeezes and breaks another man's hand. A man stabs a mechanical anaconda. Reckless driving. We hear a man was killed in a car accident.
LANGUAGE 3 - A few anatomical and scatological references, several mild obscenities, one religious profanity, several insults.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Tourism, Hollywood, thievery, WWII, marriage, family, drugs, hunting, cross-dressing, racism.
MESSAGE - Skills one needs to survive in the wilderness can be used to catch crooks in the city.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
