When all is said and done, Paul Hogan was and is a straight down the line real working guy who never lost his very grounded perspective on life. That´s why everyone instantly warmed to him. Shame there aren´t more men around like him these days.

I'm a Yank but I can certainly understand why Aussies are so proud of their countryman. I fondly remember watching Crocodile Dundee when it came out and loving it. Every documentary that I have seen reenforces the fact that when he is off screen, he is a true blue collar guy that would share a pint with you at the neighborhood dive and truly enjoy it.

@grahamjackmacpherson6501 4 года назад

Crocodile Dundee is a timeless classic, an excellent movie full of charm with one of the finest feelgood endings of any movie in the 80s. Regardless of the quality of the sequels and his career thereafter, nothing changes how good Croc 1 is.

@@ACitizenOfOurWorld Amen. He's probably still "the face" of Australia to many Americans. Practically no American knows who the head of state is down there, but I bet most born-and-raised Americans over 40 recognize his (1980s) face and can name the actor or his most famous character. Quite a few well-intentioned but idiotic Americans will think he IS the Australian head of state. He's phenomenally well-liked, if not loved, in the U.S. and a nostalgic reminder of better times (the 1980s).

I have never felt so emotionally proud and patriotic as I did that day. The entire cinema gave it a standing ovation and no-one attempted to leave, it was electric. Paul Hogan is an amazing Australian and an amazing actor. His aussie humour and larrikan sarcasm make him even more endearing. ❤🇦🇺

John Cornell was an Australian actor, director, producer, writer, and businessman who was born in Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. He was best known for his role as "Strop" on The Paul Hogan Show, and he was instrumental in the introduction of World Series Cricket in 1977. Born: 2 March 1941, Kalgoorlie - Boulder Western Australia Died: 23 July 2021, Byron Bay Spouse: Delvene Delaney (m. 1977) Children: Melissa Cornell, Liana Cornell, Allira Cornell John is the mastermind behind World Series Cricket including night cricket etc. An amazing man, brilliant business man and awesome Aussie and life long friend of Paul's.

Such was the cultural impact of Crocodile Dundee overseas, where Australia and Australians were concerned, that when I was teaching in London in the 1990s I had kids in my class asking me if I knew him as if the character was a real person lol. Delvene Delaney is still such a beautiful, classy lady and very sad about John Cornell's Parkinson's disease, may he rest in peace.

This is excellent. He's one of the unique ones in history, not replicable. And unlike all our other 'exports' (apart from Olivia), he actually gave to the world and to Australia at the same time, rather than just being about bank and career. He is a cultural icon, without the Paul Hogan Show, we wouldn't have any of the detail of that era committed to tape. And without his willingness just to go places and be real, we wouldnt have the reputation Australian's have internationally, and we wouldn't have had the tourism boost. Like David Attenborough is an English treasure, Hogan is Australia's treasure.

As a UK 80's kid this film just blew everyone away, in those days you tended to rent videos and i remember in South Wales when this came out to rent i got into my first fight in school because my best mates mum ran the video shop and me and him kicked up such a fuss about being the first kids to watch it in our village that she "rented" it to us first and it turns out that the owner of the video shop had promised it to a kid who's birthday was on the same day as it was coming out to rent and his party was basically BBQ, cake, gifts and everyone to watch Crocodile Dundee in the living room... but the video shop owner was hardly there so my mates mum pleaded ignorance on the owners arrangement claiming she misheard him (years later we would discover she was having an affair with him so she had leverage that we were not aware of or could even understand at the time) and we got to see it first while the party had to make do with one of the Police Academy movies which most had seen before so it didn't go down well. In the end he found out what happened and he was a bit of a spoiled brat anyway so he choose to have a go at me in school because i was smaller than my best mate but it was a hilarious fight according to onlookers, i even threw a punch like a WWF wrestler by stomping my feet at the same time my punch connected so this film holds a lot of nostalgic memories and if i had to live my life again i'd still make sure i was one of the first kids in my village to see Crocodile Dundee.

Michael Smith Not sure what you’re talking about, a lot of offers were made after the Dundee movies, in fact he wrote, and starred in several movies after that. To be able to actually write, and star in your own film is a rarity in Hollywood. The point that was being made in this video was it is nearly impossible to best your own first film when it is a mega hit like Croc Dundee 1 was. That movie put Australia on the map! There really isn’t enough that can be said about how much impact that movie had around the world. He handled his career quite nicely considering his circumstances. He’s a legend, and a good man.

You're a bloody Legend Hoges. As an Aussie living in Dallas, Texas I constantly get asked to do Dundee's "That's not a knife.... this is a knife" on a weekly basis. Paul worked on the Sydney Harbor Bridge with my grandfather and knew Hoges pretty well before he became a star. I can still remember pop telling me "Hey mate, I used to work with Paul when we were building the Bridge" when I was a kid. I'm 51 this August and his voice still rings in my head saying those words. He had other stories about his mate Hoges 'the funny bugger' but I've forgotten them all now. I'd love to actually meet up with Paul in the States and ask him if he remembers my Pop. But I'm just happy to be an Aussie larikin kicking it with my beautiful American wife in Dallas. Thanks for giving me a great line to say at parties Hoges, it never gets old and always gets plenty of laughs from all that hear me say it in me Aussie tongue. Loved watching you as a kid on the Paul Hogan Show with Strop and the always stunning Delvene Delainey. Love ya mate.

He’s more Aussie than a lot of people including those in the Australian media.

The ATO should have paid Paul for the amount of tourism Australia has and is receiving what a great guy great movies all round legend !!

High Court ruled in 17 May 2000 that the ATO is not a Legal entity and cannot define Income Tax. Smoke and Mirrors. moliker v Chapman Chapman was the Deputy Tax comissioner and the Ato wont defint Income tax.

The original movie was mostly a gigantic hit in the American South with people going to many repeat viewings , his character was very relatable to guys in Texas, Tennessee, Georgia etc. etc.

Launa Banauna right. Seems ppl may want to watch the video before commenting on such things. If he did who cares? That's would be his business. I'm sure skin cancer wasn't his idea of a fun time or the route he would choose to remove some wrinkles.

Almost an angel is one of my favorite movies ! It was great ! My first memory of anything Australia was the quest , I later learned it was called frog dreaming to Aussies. But crocodile Dundee is still what I think of when I hear the word Australia 😁

I'd seen all his movies and, like everyone else, thought he was great. Then I watched this story, and I love the guy. I live in Hollywood so I not easily impressed, but this video had me laughing and crying at the same time. As my sons would say, "he's awesome " . I'd have to agree 'totally '.
