In the scene when Mick Dundee arrives in New York, Sue is shown meeting her boyfriend and says she was separated from Mick in customs. Mick is shown to be leaving Australia on Qantas. Passengers entering the US always have to clear customs in their first port of entry, which for Qantas in 1986 was only Los Angeles. [In 1986 Qantas flew direct flights to Hong Kong, hugely popular with overseas travellers because of the tax-free shopping. After a one day stopover, flights on any airline you chose to any destination in the world were possible. Flights out of Australia were notoriously expensive in those days and a stopover of this nature could save a lot of money.]

This film contains the most stupid scene ever filmed. Linda Koslowski dips her canteen in a creek and a full grown crocodile grabs it and tries to drag her into the water - and she holds it off in a tug of war until our hero Mick arrives and kills it. Nonsense. A slightly built woman has a much chance of holding her own against a 1200kg croc as I have of flying to the moon. She'd be croc food before he even heard the splash - a croc that big could take a 1000kg buffalo without pausing for breath, never mind a small woman. See more...

Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Mick Dundee is supposed to be an master bushman with a lifetime's experience as a hunter - yet he plays a joke on a woman by firing a .308 bullet into the shingle on the ground at her feet. The ricochet from a .308 bullet fired from a metre away could go anywhere, and could easily kill her - or him. Anyone with his experience with guns would know that. [Actually, it was Sue that shoots at the shingle at Dundee's feet because he tells her, "That's the dangerous end.", and after she shoots the gun, she replies, "So it is.".]
How does Sue get through the barrier on the underground when she's looking for Mick - we are never shown her putting a ticket through and she certainly doesn't seem to have time to do it. [The scene only shows her going through the turnstile, which doesn't happen until after you put the ticket (or, at that time, probably a token) through the machine. Could have taken ten minutes for all we know.]
When the trio drives out to the location where Mick was attacked, they encounter a water buffalo in the middle of the track. Mick honks the horn and yells to get it to move, then gets out of the truck and hypnotizes the beast. Where does it fall over and go to sleep? Right there in the middle of the track. It strikes me that it would be much more difficult to move a sleeping buffalo than one already on its feet. [It's much easier to drive around a sleeping buffalo than a conscious one. If he were to drive towards the conscious beast, it may think it's being threatened and defend itself. Obviously, Mick does not want the beast to attack the car. Putting it to sleep and driving around it makes more sense.]
