Aaron, you guys are welcome here in Australia at any time! We’ll look after you. Australia and New Zealand are very different places despite being the same part of the world. Visit your friends in NZ, John - the wildlife you’re scared of are only here in Australia. Best Australian movies IMO are Strictly Ballroom (I think Baz Luhrman’s first movie), BMX Bandits (baby Nicole Kidman) The Castle, Crackers (Christmas movie) and Rabbitproof Fence (the only serious one on the list).

Made like a kangaroo & hopped on into the movie 😂

I’m gonna be watching out for your reactions to crocodile Dundee 2 ( probably the better one) great reaction guys ❤️

Fosters used to be Australia wide in the 90s. Now, it's an export product. We don't generally drink it here any more

Please please watch the series of shorts for "Dundee 2018"!

Such an iconic line that you got wrong 😂

More like he left his first wife shortly after meeting Linda Kozlowski on set in 1986. It was one of the ugliest celebrity divorces in Australia. They finally got married in 1990.

​@@lizmccarthy-edwards2115 that marriage was already over, it was their second go at it 😂

Uhh yeah. Still married though.@@adventuresinlaurenland

They were married years prior to this move. They made several movies together

younger people think the 80`s were the middle ages!

@@RandomNPC001 FACTS!! I just saw a reactor trying to figure out the time period for Pirates Of The Caribbean..... he thought it was the 1980's till he looked it up.

Yes, even in the dark ages (80's) there were bidets. 😂😂😂😂

Did you know this apparent fact off the top of your head, or did you have to google it?

@@arconeagain It's pretty well known. Most other countries have had them for centuries.

My all-time favorite example is when he tries telling Sue that his buddy uses telepathy to navigate his way through the terrain. 2 seconds later there's a CRUNCH and *"Eww, I hate the bush!!"* 🤣🤣🤣

​@@clevelandcbithey missed a lot, from talking almost non-stop through many of the jokes

This is the element everyone forgets. How awesome is that?

They didn't just fall in love, he was married at the time. He left his wife of 23 years for her.

@@FrankieOver50a quick google shows that is false :/ they had already divorced twice and he remarried his co star 4 years after his divorce

@@catlisma5625 according to his ex she divorced him the second time because he left her and the kids for Linda. They didn’t marry until 4 years later though.

As someone who started working in theater these guys would not survive all the friendly fire from fellow gays, trans and straight people. They would be running for the AE union steward only to be asked if this is their first stage show or movie. I got stories that would horrify ANYONE of ALL walks of life.

We should stop sugar-coating comedy for the sake of someone's thin skin. One of the best qualities anyone could have is a good sense of humor, especially towards one's self. The "insult comedians" of the past, such as Don Rickles, were hilarious. Don Rickles was the master and everyone loved him. He poked fun at everyone as well as himself.

Excellent perspective. Also, the overlooked element is he wasn't put off by it. There was no judgement, no ick, no insecure projections. The scene ends with them all still hanging out. He had an immature/ inappropriate first response for sure, but his general nature was immediately inclusive.

​@@kissmy_butt1302haha I'm a product of the East Village of NYC during its heyday. You're spot-on. I think what's missed now is that the key to everyone accepting each other is to have fun as a group and not be so uptight. I had all sorts of friends. It didn't occur to me to walk on egg shells or treat anyone differently. We're all people.

Thank you

That and the trans was deceiving men into thinking she was a woman so he could have sex with them.

T H I S

E X A C T L Y

100% agree. I'm about to state a similar sentiment

Probably also worth noting that if the movie commentary survives twenty or thirty years a significant amount of it will be as this appears now.

Heck, even the third is good, if a bit of a stretch on the premise. And I like my personal headcanon that Denning (a henchman in Croc 2) can be be subject to Mick's friendly nature and go from goon to Mick's best mate Jacko.

Yes, good observation! In a way the film actually addressed the trans identity situation in quite an open way for the times, when those issues were really not known or part of everyday life as it is today for most ordinary people! Dundee had a morse positive interaction later at the party!

Not to mention the trans was openly deceiving people try to get sex from them.

Exactly these guys are too socially conditioned to have open minds

Some reactors really don't understand that the 70s, 80s, and 90s were different times, and people's mindsets were different. They can't really expect an 80s film to have modern sensibilities.

I was more offended that the trans person didn’t disclose the fact that they were not a cisgender man to Mick and intended to go back to their apartment for intercourse. But If a straight man is dishonest to a straight woman at a bar to try and get her to sleep with him, he is a predator, not a victim.

Oh and the town that Walkabout Creek is set in is McKinlay, in Queensland. It's a throughfare town that people pass through on the way to mines and such, it's about 150 miles to the nearest city of any sort in Mt Isa and about 1000 miles inland from Brisbane. It's literally the middle of nowhere.

The movie is fun but it hasn’t aged well. Very much like 80s John Hughes films. I was so ashamed to be Australian during those scenes while the guys watched. We have a wonderful LGBTQIA+ community here. They could easily cut that scene without making too much impact on the movie at all.

@@StardustandMadness 100%, but I also look at it in the context of when it was made, unfortunately that's an era where cheap shots regarding LGBTQIA+ were pretty common in films, even up until well in the 90's the thought of men as women was used as cheap laughs in a lot of shows and movies and not just Australian ones. I look at this film as very much a piece of it's time, not just as a movie but also as a snapshot of that time in general, yeah there's a few bits that have aged poorly like a lot of movies of the day, but the cast and the performances as a whole are still charming and fun to me.

@@StardustandMadness Come on. This movie is nearly forty years old. NOTHING from the 80's outside of Music has 'aged well'. The world is a completely different place now.

@@jamescurfman3284 I do actually agree. The movie is fine for the time. Didn’t make it any less embarrassing (for me) to watch two of my favourite reactors cringe at it. I just hate that this is how much of the world still sees us because of movies like this. Taika Waititi calls Australia ‘New Zealand’s racist uncle’. So many of us are working so hard to change that opinion and then this kind of thing pops up and just fuels the fire that we’re all bigots. I didn’t mean to offend anyone. It’s just how I feel.

It's really annoying to be honest.

This generation has no hope

WE LITERALLY ADMIT THIS ACROSS THIS ENTIRE VIDEO lol

​@@ReelRejectsyou literally have thin skin and are contributing to a weak society

And Dundee was not being offensive at any moment. He was just clearly naive and a bit unknown to the world. Context and thinking is difficult nowadays.

It's weird not to see him with a badge.

And if you are a guy pretending to be a woman unbeknownst to the other party you shouldnt be surprised when someone does something like this.

@@Tconl And if you do something like this, don't be surprised when you are convicted of sexual assault.

@@vapoet Lieing about your sexuality isn't good but assault is a bit pushing it.

@@Tconl Yeah I'd feel 10x more assaulted if it touched an un-warned me in the dark. 🤣🤣🤣

Someone described her as a cross between Sharon Stone and Meg Ryan.

Sharon Stone was hotter imo

And not in a violent kind of way either "for those who are unsure" in other words making out ... Lolz

@@clevelandcbi same here

@@TheCivicRepublicMilitary From reviews I've been reading, this seems to be a case of great minds thinking alike. Cheers 🥂

Trying way too hard to hate on Dundee. That was embarrassing

Never expect common sense from woke liberals.

Tit for tat,

It'd be like finding someone smoking on a plane in the 1960s offensive because in the contemporary period it's completely absurd behavior.

They should've a problem with the man in the dress not telling Mick the truth.

@@Mickey-1994 Get over yourself. You are repeating yourself.

@@Rage_Harder_Then_Relax Don't get upset little lady.

I would largely agree - it’s mainly the crotch grab / public humiliation that felt like it actively stepped OUTSIDE the overall sense of good nature (notably in the face of a new / different culture) that ties most of the rest of the movie together.

Stop looking at films through woke eyes.respect old movies and don’t be shocked by them.

@@ReelRejectsI think he did that because a man dressed as a woman seemed absurd to him, so his response was equally so. Ultimately it was a man misleading him, so it was a fair response. Dundee is a man who understands the laws of nature, and the only way to put right in his mind what was going on was to check the sex of the person. It quickly cleared up his obvious confusion on what was happening. In his world, (the natural world), men are men, and women are women. The transvestite knew that he was naive and took advantage of that. There should be more empathy for Dundee - he was being taken advantage of - we seem to have lost sight of this reality. Im sorry this has happened to society, to men and women who were just minding their own business. I have lots of empathy for men in these situations. It isn’t fair at all.

​@@cormaccurran9975 Dude really?? It's not about being woke it's simply them expressing their uncomfortablity with people of a certain community being mistreated which is how it has been for years. I love the movie and aware he's ignorant but that shouldn't mean these guys should be allowed to feel about how he handled the situation

^^^^^ It was definitely about being woke.

Exactly!

Too Right😂

Exactly.

Very true and most millennials are not like these dips@its.

Yeah, you should see how easy it is to trigger trumptards. All you gotta do a kneel down during an anthem.

Hardly. Not for me as a gay child/teenager

Well said!

You got quite an unrealistic view of Australia then

Yeah, this movie basically introduced Australia to the world. The Australian gov't based the next ten years of tourism adverts on this movie. That's one reason the Australians love this movie.

@@Deathbird_Mitch It's kind of amazing that Paul designed this. That was the key. This cool actor was actually the ambassador. This is what he wanted and he got it because of his charm.

The reactors need to find their own impersonations of foreigners and their accents problematic next. ;)

100%👍

But if they don't virtue signal, how will they get their woke points?

Ruined the entire reaction. Rolled my eyes all the way to Popcorn In Beds reaction. Best jump scare ever if you haven't seen it. At the croc, not the bulge.

They're pretty pathetic and the man in the dress should've been honest.

Overly sensitive this generation!

They're very soft like most libs.

It was pretty much just the crotch grab / public humiliation moment that felt like it dipped momentarily out of the overall tone of good nature into something a bit meaner, perhaps uncalled for. Like in context of when it was made, I get this was just a “normal” kind of joke - and we acknowledge this in the reaction AND the review - but part of living with art is that times and context change & things can hit different in light of that. So in that sense, I don’t think it’s unfair in a First Time Reaction filmed in 2024 to acknowledge what might not have aged as well as most of the rest of what’s here. I think it’s silly to assert that you can ONLY watch an ‘80s move through the SPECIFIC lens of an ‘80s viewer and that’s the ONLY way to engage with art from that era (or whatever era it might be). And the irony is that, aside from that beat, we had a blast with the rest of the movie! Like, at NO point are we trying to “cancel” Dundee or remove the film from existence. I feel like we can hold two ideas in hand at once here?

Fair points all and I will concede I had a bit too much vitriol. However I still will argue this one point, first I will state that the joke itself was cringe af as it served zero purpose for the overall story and added no depth whatsoever to the character. So to my contention: the main character is shown to be a person from the outback totally disconnected from the modern world surrounded by gruff farmer and outdoors types with a fairly limited world view and knowledge. Then we are shown how Donk takes getting kissed by a man, even tho main character is supposedly his friend he is literally trying to knock him out cold. Now given that this is ever so quitley shown to be the typical response to anything out of the so called norm, when we are faced with the Gwendolyn scenario the audience is almost made to expect violent response. Yet that is not who Dundee is and having no clue how to approach the situation he goes for the grab. Whether or not it is a good move to go for, the character has no frame of reference as to how to act. And as for needing "specific" lenses to appreciate art that is not what I meant at all. I merely suggested that one cannot take normative standards from times past and judge them by todays standard, only to virtue signal. What can be done is to discuss the scene and try and understand the motivations thereof. In conclusion I do stand by my earlier statement of liking your channel and liking you all as reactioners, yet I can still find this type of virtue signaling massively obnoxious but as Ricky Gervais has said "Everyone is allowed to offend everyone and everyone is allowed to get offended". But I like your argument there and appreciate the response, thank you and I will keep enjoying your channel same as before. @@ReelRejects

⁠@@ReelRejectsand what about poor Dundee buying drinks for someone and flirting with someone he had no idea was a man. When was he planning to tell him he was a man…? when he was naked in his bed??? But that’s okay??? Really??? Reverse the roles and make it a women who had been deceived and lied to by a man in whichever way …everyone would be up in arms. Not so? They would be cheering if the woman did what Dundee did to the perpetrator! Not so? I remember going out in the early 2000’s and a group of transvestites would always arrive at a certain point in the evening and zero in on drunk straight men. They told us in the bathroom they enjoyed messing with straight men in particular, it made them feel powerful - it was a game to them. They believed all straight men could be turned. I remember a drunk guy kissing one of them for hours - he had no idea. The look on his face when he found out was heartbreaking, he had literally been assaulted by those men. It was awful to see, and I will never forget how disgusting it was. Why are these poor men not protected!? That was assault pure and simple. Where do men go for help?? You have all been brainwashed, and I can’t believe that you can’t or won’t see this for what it is. You’re worried about the predator’s public humiliation instead - that’s how far we have deviated from the truth! Insane.

​@@ReelRejects but you did really make an issue out of it and were quite demeaning rather than just comment how inappropriate and move on - his character is obviously unworldly and Gwendoline was tricking him. It wasn't saying this is what you should do in this situation it was a bit of an uncomfortable moment (and not just for these times! I remember watching it when I was a kid and feeling it was inappropriate but basically probably how he'd react) it was poking fun at his lack of worldlyness and rough, down to earth outback demeanour. I mean if I too was being picky you were poking fun of Australians a lot at the beginning (and even said something that sounded alot like Australia and New Zealand are the same thing!) - which could sound rather ignorant to people from that part of the world. No one is perfect!

@@ReelRejects The man in the dress should've been honest.

Hugh and Deb used to have a property ten minutes from me. Not sure if they’ve sold it now they’ve split or if they will.

Spoken from a woman's point of view smh.

Sue, your facetiousness seems to lost on some. Hilarious!

I can't see how she was "cheating". Wouldn't cheating involve sex rather than just kissing? Surely she was just confused? Educate me please.

We’d just be different in the ‘80s. Obviously. Because it was a different time lol. Christ.

Older millennials love the 80s and we don't connect with these PC cupcakes.

Yep🤣

Correction..... Got Married after this movie. And it is "Were" but not now. I knew thier was a 3rd Croc Dundee that was OK at the time, but in the last week found their IS a forth which is very recent. ` The Very Excellent Mr. Crocodile Dundee (2020) `.

There is no correction to be made as we are not watching the movie in real time 🤣🤣🤣

@@alickrozier3799 And that is not a fourth movie. It is a mock-umentary film with Paul Hogan playing a version of himself. Kind of like the recent Nic Cage film.

Yes lol. No more jokes allowed in the comedy we laughed at 90% of.

Dude was upset for the rest of the movie cause of that 😂

I just shows how sensitive and weak society has become now. Him graping his crutch was the funniest part of the movie. But not these day. People are to sensitive these days. No jokes aloud.

Dundee didn`t even do out of hate, just ignorance for a situation he never encountered before!

You seem to be pretty in your feelings about that.

Whatever. They obviously enjoyed the movie.

These guys are millennials, not Gen Z and they both acknowledged it was a different time. They didn't even really make that much of a big deal about it. I don't get why everyone's acting like they did. They both enjoyed the movie in case you weren't paying attention.

​@@ChrisTheAspergerGuyThat bothered them and clouded the whole rest of the movie for them.

I agree with you and movies today are ruined with political correctness and I am really sick of it .i hope this wokeness ends because is ruining movies and shows and books

I mean it's fine not to find something funny, but to be so sensitive to it sucks.

It’s not a huge deal - it’s a product of its time, yes. If you can’t handle the simple acknowledgement of what has aged & how on a first time watch from 2024, I don’t know what to tell yaaaaaa

He's also not being racist. They stress over and over how isolated he's been in his life and how close he is to the Aboriginal people, including the friend specifically featured. Meaning he has like seen only white people or Aboriginal people and so when he's talking to the limo driver he's treating him the same way he'd treat anyone else and in his mind is probably going even further by asking questions about his relationship with society that would be entirely relevant if he were still in Australia. He likely wouldn't have realized there were people in the world with darker skin tones that weren't Aborginal.

I would say watch the Original Version of The Magnificent Seven, first. That was a really good movie and there is GREAT REASON for it to get re-made for 2016.

Ohhh yes! Strictly Ballroom is one of my faves! And The Castle.

Everyone misses that part of the joke.

@@Cyborganna I have not seen one reactor miss that tbh.

And the punch line is she decides if that's the way Australians greeting each other She needs to visit Australia.

@@Lensmaster1 Which is a pretty funny line imo.

Especially Disney, Star Wars, etc

I like your point about how she felt safe with Mick not being about how ‘manly’ he is. There are some men who just don’t make us feel that way. It’s not an actual ‘oh this guy is NOT going to attack me feeling’ or ‘my guy could beat any other guy to a pulp’, it’s so difficult to explain. It’s an emotional safety, I guess. Feeling free to be yourself without worrying he’ll walk out the door because you’re being open and honest with him.

Well you're so "woke", aren't you?

Dude, conservatives get triggered over someone taking a knee during an anthem or flag with a rainbow on it. So just stop thinking this over sensitivity is one sided.

@jjrod2988 There's a huge difference. it's called disrespect of the Nation ... burning rubber over a so-called protected group is somehow illegal & burning us flags is somehow protected... Justifiably upset for disrespect of Nation ... Alphabet people made up flag is Not a Protected issue except by very few hypersensitive people... which you just demonstrated 🤣

@@Black71Eagle no there's no difference, especially when the it's been made very clear that the act was in no way meant to disrespect soldiers or the country, but to bring attention to social injustice. If it offended you, it's because you CHOSE to be offended based on a false narrative pushed by republican politicians and right wing media. So congratulations, you're no better than the snowflake leftists you complain about. And btw the american flag isn't protected either because the first amendment says anyone can do or say anything they want about that piece of cloth.

@@Black71Eagle the only hypersensitivity on display here is your own. You just admitted to being offended by something that numerous times, has been explained as a form of silent protest towards racial injustice but you've chosen to adopt the narrative that was pushed by right wing media and politicians.

Or do you only talk scream about amendments when they favor your narratives and POVs? You don't get to cherry pick when it's convenient for you cupcake. It's also pathetic to like your own comment Bubba.

This narrative that "men" are trying to "trick" other men is how trans women get killed. Maybe figure out your own internalized homophobia and how you think of women as just their genitals

I feel like we’re just sort of acknowledging how times change. That’s part of living with art. I get that a lot of folks are just gonna laugh and not bat an eye - especially if they first watched this around the time it came out - but I also don’t think it’s that big a deal to say “I’m kinda bummed that scene didn’t go a different direction,” which is essentially what we said here. And I’d argue that part of the appeal of a reaction to a movie from the past *is* the culture clash / change in times - and to that end, we literally acknowledge that this is a product of a different time.

@ReelRejects I get it. And I love the movie reaction. I just thought you guys might have taken it bit too seriously. But it's cool. Keep it up 😁
