It may be hard to imagine now, in an era when theatrical releases for comedies are few and far between, but there was a period during the 1980s when Crocodile Dundee was king. The character, played by Paul Hogan, was a pop culture icon. That’s because this movie was a mega-hit.

Crocodile Dundee - 4K Steelbook Edition Made for under $10 million, Crocodile Dundee grossed $328 million worldwide, landing it at number two on the list of highest-grossing movies of 1986, behind only Top Gun . That’s a remarkable feat for a movie about an Outback outdoorsman.

Crocodile Dundee works because it’s a mix of tried-and-true ideas: It’s a fish-out-of-water story and a romance between an unlikely couple.

It starts when Sue Charlton (Linda Kozlowski), a New York journalist, travels to the Australian Outback and meets the titular hero, a hunter who feels more at home in the wilderness than he does around other people. Soon Sue invites Croc to come back to NYC with her.
