Just what I expected

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

A Disappointing Continuation

Tayyab Torres

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Paul Hogan used to be quite funny, but he wore his whole "naive Aussie" shtick into the ground after the first "Crocodile Dundee" came out -- the first was an utter disaster and the third (and worst), which came out long after everything had forgotten about the series, was downright hideous and one of the worst examples of a cash-in I've ever witnessed.Hogan's attempts at crossing over into the American movie-making market continued with this lame-brain cowboy farce co-starring a mute Cuba Gooding, Jr. (who I once found funny, and now find annoying and as lame as this movie). Beverly D'Angelo is wasted as the "clean-as-white-bread-whore-with-a-heart-of-gold" - stick to the "Vacation" movies, Bev!Honestly, this isn't as bad as I had expected (it used to have a 3.6/10 rating on IMDb and was on the "low 100" - its rating has now risen considerably over the past few years) but it's still extremely poor by almost any standards and I think I smiled once, chuckled once or twice, and laughed zero times. It's not funny at all, and even as a lazy Sunday afternoon flick it barely delivers.

Funny little time burner has Paul Hogan starring as an Australian outlaw in the U.S. old west. A robbery leads to him kidnapping a young black mute man (Cuba Gooding, Jr.). They become the strangest of friends and have the wildest adventures as they try to become known criminals in a time and place that just does not seem to care about them. High-class prostitutes Beverly D'Angelo and Kamala Lopez-Dawson are also along as the duo's love interests. The film uses its gimmick well early, but then starts to drag as it hits its latter acts. Hogan and Gooding make a surprisingly impressive team, but really they were not given enough material to run with. The rest of the cast is touch and go as once again Hogan is left to carry a production and he is only minimally successfully. 2.5 out of 5 stars.

The idea that Cuba Gooding Jr.doesn't say a single word in the whole movie is good enough,and quite honestly I think he stole the movie, I saw it for the first time on USA Wed. afternoon.......smileyfish says hello from oHIo......... :-){

The humor is just as fresh today as it was when I first saw it several years ago. Goodings shows a depth of talent that this viewer really appreciates. His expressions are nearly as plastic as Jim Carrey's and spontaneous enough to steal the show without any lines.
