Dundee movies VERY popular. We really like Crocodile Dundee; even I like
him, especially when uses lines such as, "That's not a knife; THIS is a
knife."

Hi Alex
Finally got round to responding, apologies for the delay & don't know if
this will get through due to email issues - as you all know.
There is definitely a gremlin in the system that H can't find.
I've never heard of the Outback steakhouse (emigrated here 22 years ago
from NZ) & have been to Broken Hill where Mad Max Movies were made.
Yes it was tragic what happened to Steve Irwin but in my opinion he was
the most irritating human being to come out of Oz.
Georgia (daughter) would like to know if any of you have heard of:
Dame Edna Everage or Norman Gunstan and
how popular were the Crocodile Dundee (Paul Hogan) Movies in the US.
The team have to do a skit at the FPS conference on Australia.
Have to agree why couldn't they have got an actual Aussie actor to do the
voice over for Outback Steakhouse commerical's there are plenty of them
in the US - that's shameful.

Yup. Outback Steakhouse, Steve Irwin, and the Mad Max movies pretty
much sum up all the average American knows about Australia, I think.
Having been to Oz and heard some really thick accents there,
especially in Tasmania, I wince every time an Outback commercial comes
on the TV---couldn't they have gotten an actual Aussie actor to do the
voiceover, instead of an American trying (and failing pitifully) to do
the accent?
