As Mick "Crocodile" Dundee (Paul Hogan) sits in a canoe sharpening his famous knife, a monstrous croc hides somewhere in the deep. Suddenly, it attacks, tearing Mick's boat to pieces and leaving him and mate Jacko (Alec Wilson) up a tree. Life for Mick can only get easier, right? When Mick arrives at home, he discovers longtime companion Sue's (Linda Kozlowski) newspaper-mogul father has called, and needs her help on an article at the paper's Los Angeles branch. Mick, who recognizes his importance in the modernizing bush is now no more than as a tourist attraction, agrees to join her, and together Mick, Sue, and son Mikey (Serge Cockburn) head for the wild country of L.A. Here the adventure truly begins, as Mick and Jacko brave a cowboy bar where the horsemen are of a different color, and a Hollywood film party where everyone seems interested in Mick's mate Malcolm "Mal" Gibson's colorful exploits. Soon, Sue's article leads to a sleazy film producer, so Mick gets a job as a monkey wrangler at his studio, where his investigation uncovers some very sketchy goings-on. Once again, "Crocodile" Mick with his dazzling wit puts the noble back in savage. [More]

Reviews for Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles
Its humor remains suitable for youngsters yet doesn’t gouge their psyches with the 'circle of life' and 'you can do it' self-esteem lessons that by this time have become pretty tiresome.
Despite its derivativeness and predictability, the film will likely please family-minded audiences looking for nothing more than an amiable, good-hearted time at the movies.
So good-natured and tame that you can't help but let it win you over.
Despite the predictability of the story and the gags, the film is surprisingly easy to sit through, digest and even enjoy.
Gator-out-of-water jokes so painfully dated they'll elicit crocodile tears before laughs.
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.
It means well ... This does not indicate, however, that you should necessarily plunk down money for the third film in the Crocodile Dundee series.
The third time is far from a charm but it makes for marginal family fare, mainly for those who aren't expecting anything beyond warmed-over Dundee I and II.
It's about as appetizing as month-old leftovers from the Outback Steakhouse.
