Crocodile Dundee is back. Sorta. Paul Hogan, the man who made Crocodile Dundee famous in the 1986 comedy has returned for The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee. While it isn’t an exact sequel, it serves to reintroduce Hogan as a heightened, meta version of himself. Looks old school and like a lot of fun, actually.
Hogan returns as a version of himself, who is drawn out of retirement by a knighthood by the Queen of England, only to get wrapped up in a bunch of celebrity scandals and other misadventures. The film appears to be ripped straight out of the ’80s, and features a supporting cast to reflect that. Chevy Chase, Olivia Newton-John, Reginald Veljohnson (Who now looks like Charles Dutton!!!), John Cleese, and Wayne Knight are among the co-stars, while The Kissing Booth‘s Jacob Elordi plays Hogan’s son.
A couple of years ago Crocodile Dundee made something of a comeback in a Super Bowl ad posing as a legit sequel. It ended up featuring Chris Hemsworth and Danny McBride, neither of which is in this movie, sadly.
The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee hits VOD on December 11th.
SYNOPSIS: Paul Hogan plays himself in this raucous comedy. Retired in L.A. and overshadowed by his Crocodile Dundee character, Hogan is offered a knighthood by the Queen of England.
