Director Simon Wincer teams up with his fellow Australian and star Paul Hogan for this second follow-up to the 1986 sleeper hit. Mick Dundee (Hogan) is still making his home in the tiny outback town of Walkabout Creek with his significant other Sue (Linda Kozlowski), and now joined by their young son Mikey (Serge Cockburn). Crocodile hunting has been made illegal, and Mick has been reduced to wrestling the animals for tourists. When an opportunity comes up for Sue to take over as L.A. bureau chief of a newspaper owned by her father, Mick and family cross the Pacific to California. There, Mick and his son's encounters with the natives cause more than a few cross-cultural mishaps, including a massive traffic jam on the freeway when the Dundees attempt an animal rescue. In the meantime, Mick becomes an amateur sleuth helping to probe the mysterious death of his wife's predecessor at the newspaper. Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles was inspired by star Hogan's real-life move to Los Angeles. ~ Karl Williams, All Movie Guide

Mick "Crocodile" Dundee returns for a second time to America, this time heading to the city of fame and fortune in Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. Paramount has done a fine job on this 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. The colors and black levels in this picture all look very even and well-rendered. While there is a slight amount of edge enhancement present during a few key scenes, overall this is a very clean and well-done transfer. The audio is presented in Dolby Digital 5.1 and sounds excellent, if a bit underwhelming. Rear and front speakers were utilized mostly during the beginning Australia sequences, as well as when the music score kicks in during the film. Also included on this disc is a Dolby Digital 2.0 soundtrack in English, as well as English subtitles. Much like the first two films, =Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles sports very few extra features. Included on this disc is an anamorphic theatrical trailer as well as a brief featurette on the making of the film which includes interviews with the cast and crew. Fans of this series will most likely want to take a bite out of this disc, though they will be shedding crocodile tears due to the lack of extra materials. ~ Patrick Naugle, All Movie Guide
