I'm pretty damn impressed as the print is mint brand spanking new never-been-off-the-cores!

Interesting thing so far is that it has a 2oth Century-Fox tag printed onto the head. Our distributor in Australia was Hoyts Film Distributors who are no longer in existence. I know Paramount picked up the USA rights, but does anyone know which country had Fox as the distributor?

It's a new one to me as I thought Paramount also picked up the international rights to the film.

Incidentally, I know you think there should be inverted commas around "Crocodile", but they were only added after the international sale. Apparently, Paramount execs thought without them people would think he really was a crocodile. True story.

It's the "American" version, you see... and thus, obviously not meant for Australia.
 

Paul Hogan was good in that film. If I was closer to "down under" I'd swing by to see that one on the big screen John!

Is that really what the US version says? In the Aussie version he says "Some dimwit's put two dunnies in here" Yet another change perhaps?

Chris, I'd even spring you a free pass...alright, two. Damn! You sure are pushy!

"FOR WASHIN' YER BACKSIDE, RIGHT?"

PS I've checked the track. It's not in Swedish.

John,

I've checked with a couple other people and they say that's what it says in the US ver.

<Paul Hogan will be returning to reprise his most (if not only ) famous role.>

I dunno. I think he's got a following with those "Outback" SUV TV spot.

Actually, Paul Hogan's more famous here in Aussieland for his TV show which ran here during the seventies and the early eighties. Even today, it is regarded as some of the best Australian comedy ever put on the tube. He had a skit type show playing many different characters with his offsider, Strop who was played by John Cornell. You may know that it was John who directed the second Dundee film. They made the last show about 1983 which I guess was when they went off to embark on the adventures of Mick Dundee.

The pair were also the faces of Winfield cigarettes in the mid to late seventies making some great cinemascope ads for the theatres. These guys could make you laugh more in a single minute ad than for the whole movie that followed.

When I picked up the print of Dundee from the Rimfire Films offices on Friday, the girl there said to this day they still get on average about two calls a day asking for permission to use footage from the TV shows.
