Talk:Crocodile Dundee

message: The "lol" here is not as in "lol omg wtf pwned", etc.  It's the word "loll".  Definitions here and here.  It makes sense for someone to "loll back in his chair"; it is impossible for someone to "laugh back in his chair". -Joshuapaquin 20:59, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've never heard of the term before, so I assumed it just someone writing a bit badly. I would prefer a more common synonym, but whatever's fine. - Zero1328 Talk? 06:01, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:CrocodileDundee.jpg

message: From the plot summary: "Gus intervenes by taking a crescent-shaped, metallic decoration from the limousine and using it as a boomerang".
That "decoration" was the TV antenna. Luxury cars with TVs in them often had antennas like that, meant to be aerodynamic. They have since found ways to make better internal antennas. Calling it a "decoration" was cute, though. Reminds me of archaeologists, upon finding an artifact they don't know the purpose of, declare it "a ritual object."
can we please have a soruce that says Australians are upset about the popularity the movie has brought to Aust because we all live in cities? thats bullshit imo  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.160.170.135 (talk) 11:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

message: The stars of the film, Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski, married in real life, after meeting during the film.  Surely that merits mention here?

thread_title:  question... 

message: The first time I saw Crocodile Dundee I assumed that the scene of Mick walking across the crowd was meant to parallel what an Australian Kelpie does with sheep. It's called "backing the sheep". Have a look here. (There's a pic on the Australian Kelpie page too.) Trouble is, that page is the only other place I've seen such a possible connection mentioned. Does anyone else reckon that parallel was intended? HiLo48 (talk) 06:39, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I come from a farming family and that was the first thing I thought of, as did my mum and dad who were also watching it. Mick even gets the idea when someone says "we're jammed in like sheep here". Halmyre (talk) 07:21, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

message: With the announcement of a fourth film, that will be released this year - shouldn't there be a Crocodile Dundee film series page now? I think it would condense things and allow for readers to find the films in the series in one location. Definitely constructive. Just an idea.--65.130.193.85 (talk) 14:12, 23 January 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  New page

Since polling is not a substitute for discussion, please explain your reasons, taking into account Wikipedia's policy on article titles.
*Support, also should include Crocodile Dundee (film series)→Crocodile Dundee, Michael "Crocodile" Dundee→Crocodile Dundee (character) - per WP:NCFILM. This matches the arrangement of the Austin Powers articles and others that have the franchise at primary. -- Netoholic @  06:56, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
