What You May Need To Know
1. I went through a whole denial-anger-acceptance thing watching this. First I was horrified, thinking my god, how could “They” possibly deem to sully a milestone of Antipodean culture like Crocodile Dundee (1984) by knocking out a snarky, decades-overdue sequel.
2. Then I thought, hang on a second, it’s Crocodile Dundee not The Godfather (1972). Who cares, let them do what they want.
3. THEN I thought, holy chozzwozza, this looks quite funny, and pretty great. Look at that cast! Russell Crowe hamming it up as a Murdoch-esque super villain? Sold. But does it look at little TOO good?
4. THEN I read up on it, and realised it’s not a film at all; it’s actually an extremely well-made viral advert for Tourism Australia, part of a campaign running with this weekend’s Super Bowl.
Doug’s verdict: Well played, everyone.
Release date: n/a
ah now
be fair Tourism Oz and Qantas didn’t miss out on the original Dundee either
and Mick Hogan himself was so stranger to product placement since the 70s
but yeah
tis a brilliant ad
The Wallabies coming together like that
fair play
It wouldn’t surprise me in the least if a movie does come out of all this.
and yes, it’s great :)
Really disappointed its not real. Loved those movies back in the day!
same here
imagine the Hemsworths, all of them, for buff
Nicole Kidman, Naomi Watts, Margot Robbie, Rebel Wilson, Cate Blanchette etc knocking about the pub
Kylie and Helen Reddy doing the sing song
and Hugh Jackman doing everything from Dancing around the fire, fighting Kangaroos to Driving the Ute
I would watch this film.
I’d watch it for the Hemsworth, can’t abide Danny McBride, though.
Tourism Australia, Of course it is, whitewashed, not one Indigenous Australian …
Except there is. I had to look her up tbf but Jessica Tauboy there; she is of indigenous parentage and one of Australia’s biggest pop stars. Also some of the extras.
Back in yer box.
Jessica Tauboy is the Paddy manning of Australia day .
You are kidding me!
I was really looking forward to this film!
Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Touche Tourism Australia, Touche.
They’ll be brewing Fosters again!!!!
This is Great but really works best if watched before reading the details in the post……
