Following the success and positive attention surrounding the initial Crocodile Dundee film, a follow-up was practically guaranteed. This installment turns the original premise on its head; Mick Dundee (Paul Hogan) must bring his partner, Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski), back to the Australian wilderness to shield her from dangerous criminals. Utilizing his knowledge of the Outback, Mick begins eliminating these gangsters one by one. “Nah. I don't need a gun. I got a Donk!” The storyline provides several opportunities for jokes and situations characteristic of Dundee, which aren’t quite as impactful as in the first film but remain entertaining without feeling forced. The authentic connection between Hogan and Kozlowski, who are a couple in real life, is apparent and lends a sense of genuineness to the movie. Hogan is effortlessly charming; he embodies the rugged adventurer with ease, and his personality propels the story forward. He delivers a convincing punch as well. Familiar faces like Wally and Donk offer a comforting familiarity, while Charles Dutton’s portrayal of Leroy Brown provides effective comedic contrast for Dundee during the film's New York scenes. The Northern Territory of Australia again offers stunning visuals (cinematography by Russell Boyd), although the scenery doesn't quite receive the expansive camera work it warrants, and Peter Best contributes a fitting musical score that reflects the two continents without introducing anything novel. Issues do arise; there are noticeable stereotypes, particularly among the villains led by Ernie Dingo, and the story’s lack of originality (feeling like a repeat of the first movie) can be somewhat disappointing. It's not a masterpiece and certainly doesn't warrant the poorly conceived third sequel that appeared 13 years later, but this second chapter in Mick and Sue’s adventures is still an enjoyable way to pass some time. 6.5/10
