Crocodile Dundee In Los Angeles Page #4

Synopsis: From the opening shot of a Jurassic Park-esque reptilian eye, you know you are in for a wild ride. As Mick "Crocodile" Dundee sits in a canoe sharpening his famous knife, a monstrous croc hides somewhere in the deep. The croc suddenly attacks, tearing Mick's boat to pieces and leaving him and mate Jacko up a tree. Life for Mick can only get easier, right? When Mick arrives at home, he discovers longtime companion Sue's newspaper-mogul father has called, and needs her help on an article at the paper's Los Angeles branch. Mick, who recognizes his importance in the modernizing bush is now no more than as a tourist attraction, agrees to join her, and together Mick, Sue and son Mikey head for Los Angeles. Here the adventure truly begins, as Mick and Jacko brave a cowboy bar where the horsemen are of a different color, and a Hollywood film party where everyone seems interested in Mick's mate Malcolm "Mal" Gibson's colorful exploits. Sue's article soon leads to a sleazy film producer, so Mick

Nothing this good|ever happens to me.

Are you-- You're not available?|You're- You're gay, right?

Um, most of the time,|pretty happy, yeah.

[ Chuckles ]|Of course.

Cute cowboy, Venice Beach,|had to be gay.

What was I thinking?

- Boy, she was a chatterbox.|- Yeah, mate. American woman.

- She's got a nice ass.|- Yeah. Hey,

you gotta stop hangin'|around that pub.

[ Sighs ]|Who taught you that? Nugget?

- Find anything fishy?|- Yeah. Listen to this.

Silvergate Pictures make their|first movie, right? Lethal Agent.

It's a total bomb.

So the very next picture|they make is Lethal Agent II...

which, of course, goes straight|to video where no one rents it.

And guess what they're doing now|to save their reputation?

- Uh--|- Yeah.

I don't know.|Did Tom talk to these guys?

Yeah. I think he spoke to everybody|from the president of the studio down.

That's when he seemed to get|really excited about the story.

All I can see here is a bunch of|really dumb business decisions.

But, of course,|that's not illegal.

Well, you know, that's|the research I did for him.

Whatever Tom was working on|is probably in his P. C.

I can get the disk from his house,|if you're interested.

That'd be great.

And I notice they're having a "meet and|greet" for press and industry people.

Do you know who would|normally cover that?

Fay Olson does entertainment.

Okay. Tell her she can have|the night off, and I'll fill in.

- Hey, Dad, what sort of car is that?|- I can't look now, mate.

These California people are|nice and friendly and polite...

till they get in their cars, then|they turn into crazed wombats.

Quick, Dad, stop,|there's a dog in the road.

Where?

- So where's the dog?|- He ducked in there.

I'll get him.

Be careful.

All right, everybody, stay back.|Don't worry, we'll get him.

I'm on it.

- What's the hell's goin' on up there?|- Come on, buddy!

The guy said there's|something on the road.

He looks like a nut to me.

- Probably a bomb or something.|- It's a what?

- He says it's a bomb!|- It's a bomb! It's gonna blow!

[ All Screaming ]

Come here, boy. Come on.

He won't come out.|He's scared.

That's not a dog.|That's a--

I don't know what it is.|Some kind of possum maybe.

I've never seen|a black and white possum.

I've never seen|a black and white possum.

I think it's a skunk.

How do you know what a skunk|looks like? We don't have 'em at home.

It looks like Pepe Le Pew|in the cartoons on TV. [ Chuckles ]

I thought skunks were|supposed to stink.

[ Sniffing ]|Don't stink.

Come on, boy.|Come on.

[Dispatcher Chattering]

Possible explosive device|and hostage situation.

There we go.

No wonder he's scared.

Those bloody helicopters.
