Crocodile Dundee/YMMV
- Ass Pull: Making up a native-sounding title for Dundee and claiming it means "The crocodile who walks like a man"
- Memetic Mutation: "Thats not a knife. Thats a knife."
- Sequelitis: The first movie was a surprise hit and grossed over $175 million in American theaters in 1986 (back when movie ticket prices were barely half of what they are now). While some people think that it hasn't aged well, most everyone agrees that it is superior to the 1988 sequel Crocodile Dundee II, which did only about half the business of its predecessor. Most people don't even know that there's a 3rd movie in the series.
- From a story perspective, the first film was about a big fish in a small pond being dumped into the ocean. The second was about said fish fighting columbian druglords. The third movie.... was not very popular, to put it mildly, even though it's all about Mike acting like "Crocodile" Dundee.
- Values Dissonance: Sue treats a man doing lines of cocaine in the kitchen of a fancy party as nothing more interesting than if he was doing shots of tequila. Welcome to The Eighties.
