Crocodile Dundee is a 1986 Australian comedy film set in the Australian Outback in the area around "Walkabout Creek" and in New York City. It stars Paul Hogan as the weathered Mick Dundee and Linda Kozlowski as Sue Charlton. It was released in the United States as "Crocodile" Dundee.
Inspired by the true life exploits of Rodney Ansell, the film was made on a budget of under $10 million as a deliberate attempt to make a commercial Australian film that would appeal to a mainstream American audience, but proved to be a worldwide phenomenon. Released on April 30, 1986 in Australia, and on September 26, 1986 in the United States, it was the second highest grossing film in the USA in that year and went on to become the number one film worldwide at the box office.
There are two versions of the film: The Australian version, and the American/International version, with much of the Australian slang replaced with more commonly understood terms, and also being slightly shorter, lacking several scenes.
The film was followed by two sequels: 1988's Crocodile Dundee II and 2001's Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles.
Whilst popular in Australia, the film is also divisive, as many dislike the fact that Dundee has played such a large part in shaping international views of Australians, and a country where the overwhelming majority of the population live in cities and urban centres.
