Since the original CROCODILE DUNDEE was such a mega success it was inevitable that there was going to be a sequel but don't you get a feeling that the studio have used a screenplay that didn't feature Mr Dundee in the original draft ? Don't you have the gut instinct that the producers grabbed the nearest script lying around ( Which was obviously a screenplay intended for either Bruce or Arnie ) and got someone to write a few scenes involving the eponymous character of CROCODILE DUNDEE ?
For much of the running time you get the feeling you're watching two entirely unconnected movies , one being a violent thriller about a nasty bunch of drug lords who kidnap somebody's wife and kill anyone who stand in their way and a comedy film starring Paul Hogan as an innocent abroad. The two movies seem to clash with one another and we're treated to implausible plot twists as the screenplay tries to merge the two stories in a very unsuccessful manner .
CROCODILE DUNDEE 2 isn't a terrible movie but it is a bizarre one because of the reasons I've outlined . It goes without saying that if you're a fan of the original you're going to be very disappointed
