Crocodile Dundee (film series)

The Crocodile Dundee film series is a trilogy of action-comedy films built around Michael J. "Crocodile" Dundee, an Australian crocodile hunter from the Outback, played in all three films by Paul Hogan. The first film, Crocodile Dundee (1986), follows a New York reporter named Sue Charlton who travels to Australia to interview the living legend and brings him back to New York City, where he is amazed by city life. Crocodile Dundee II (1988) sets Dundee in Manhattan, where he has to rescue Sue from a South American drug dealer, and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001) moves the family to California when Sue takes a new job. Paul Hogan refused several proposals for further films. In 2018 two trailers released as a Super Bowl commercial campaign advertised a fourth film titled Dundee, which starred Danny McBride in the promotion, and publications questioned whether it was a hoax. Paramount Pictures released the trilogy on Blu-ray in the United States in 2021.
