Australian outback expert protects his New York love from gangsters who've followed her down under.
Crocodile Dundee II is a formulaic sequel that reverses the fish-out-of-water premise of the original by bringing the gangster threat to Australia, but the plot feels thin and recycled. Paul Hogan remains charming and Linda Kozlowski is likable, keeping the acting serviceable. The Australian outback scenery provides some visual appeal but is shot in a straightforward, unremarkable way. The sequel adds little that is fresh or distinctive — it largely coasts on the original's goodwill without matching its novelty or comic timing. The ending resolves predictably with minimal tension or payoff, cementing its reputation as a mild, forgettable follow-up.
