This has the be THE most perfectly paced movie of all time . . . I defy ANYONE to watch this and not agree that something interesting and/or funny happens AT LEAST every 30 seconds (yeah - Crocodile Dundee - that's tight!) . . .
And just re-watched the SECOND one (ALSO for the umpteenth time).
Another perfect movie. There are bits in the 1st 10mins that are a bit "rough", but the rest of it -
MAN!
Mick taking care of Sue and sorting out the bad guys? - super easy, barely . . . . (* ah heck - you know the rest *)
Casting and script is superb (and funny - love the perfectly timed humour - go figure!) - and the Aussie scenery - breathtaking! The Australian outback is STUNNING!
Australia was one of the 5 countries we SERIOUSLY looked into when we were planning on emigrating in 1999/2000. It likely would have come out top - but the wee Wifey was NOT prepared to cope with the fact that a reasonable percentage of the local species (insects & reptiles for the most part), could be somewhat less than friendly. If it was just MY decision though (and I didn't have to consider the Wife & kids) . . . game over . . . the other 4 (including Canada) wouldn't have had a chance.
- One of my fave exchanges from the movie . . . probably in part because "Donk" reminds me of one of my buddies - Paul (Paul has more teeth) . . .

Nugget: Nah. I don't need one. I got a Donk.
Denning: Got a what?
Donk: Donk.
