Crocodile Dundee 2 As a movie character and pop culture phenomenon, Paul Hogan’s amicable outback bushman was indeed a big deal in the 80s, and this quick sequel to the classic original sets out to give the audience more of the same, with mixed results. Many standard elements of 80s films are here, including drug […]
