ASSIGNED NUMBERS |

The crocodile catcher (Paul Hogan) is back, but in this
fish-out-of-water story the Australian follows his love (Linda Kozlowski) to Hollywood and
ends up playing detective. Also with Jere Burns, Jonathan Banks and Serge Cockburn. [1:30]
SEX/NUDITY 3 - Mild kissing. We see what seem to be a woman's bare breasts
in a painting (it's from a distance and there's a glare on the canvas). A few instances of
women displaying cleavage. A young boy watches a woman walk away and comments on how nice
her posterior is.
VIOLENCE/GORE 4 - Threatening with guns, with a few shots fired but no one
hurt. In two "jump" scenes a crocodile jumps out of the water and destroys a
kayak with a man in it (both times the man is unharmed). A tree branch with two men
sitting on it breaks and the men fall into crocodile-infested waters; a crocodile chases
them all the way to the shore. A man punches a man in the neck and knocks him down. A boy
throws a block at a rat and knocks it out and then picks it up by the tail. Two men jump
on and crush the roof of a convertible with four boys in it; then they dump a trash can on
it. A man hits a man over the head with a board. A man rams a door into another man,
knocking him out. A man pushes a man off a tall ladder and he falls to the ground. A man
is hit by several objects (including a big plastic cow) flying at him from a high-powered
fan. Two men in an open bus crash into a wall. A man throws a hollow, plastic boulder over
a man's head. A man throws a knife between a man's legs, nearly hitting his crotch. A man
puts a gun to a woman's head. A few lions seem ready to charge at several men but do not.
A man squeezes and breaks another man's hand. A man stabs a mechanical anaconda. Reckless
driving. We hear a man was killed in a car accident.
PROFANITY 3 - A few anatomical and scatological references, several mild
obscenities, one religious profanity, several insults. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Tourism, Hollywood, thievery, WWII, marriage, family,
drugs, hunting, cross-dressing, racism.
MESSAGE - Skills one needs to survive in the wilderness can be used to catch
crooks in the city.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
