00:00It's the biggest movie ever made outside of a major studio.

00:04Action!

00:06Blockbuster.

00:08Through the roof.

00:09Michael J. Crocodile Dundee.

00:14Action!

00:16They're sensational.

00:18That's a knife.

00:22Ooh, that's a knife.

00:26Right at the start, John wanted to make a movie.

00:28We'd never made a movie.

00:29We grew up in Granville, and in Granville you learnt to have a go.

00:31So, we were having a go.

00:34He was the brains of the outfit.

00:35John said, you know, we're going into show business.

00:37The Paul Hogan show was huge.

00:39Good evening, viewers.

00:40Gravitas, Swagger, those guys had it in spades.

00:44Now, nobody knew anything about Australia, really.

00:46G'day, America.

00:48We wanted to make a movie that appealed to people from 7 to 70.

00:50Here's to Crocodile Dundee.

00:52I virtually wrote it walking down the street.

00:54Laughed my frock off.

00:55I said, well, now there's an opportunity, and I think we should grab it.

00:59There was one significant naysayer.

01:01It was his view that the script was a load of bollocks.

01:04It's dust.

01:05Linda freaked.

01:07She suddenly recognised, well, hang on, I'm working with an amateur here.

01:11I'm like a double bourbon to start the day off right.

01:13I wasn't prepared for what it really was.

01:16I get a phone call from Packer.

01:18He put in some money and then pulled it out.

01:20Left us with a shortfall.

01:21But John, he loved to solve problems.

01:24Hulk said, let's go make a movie.

01:28Crocodile Dundee is a good film.

01:31Crubbery and dance. Enjoy it.

01:34You have to follow your heart, and they did.

01:36I love you!

01:38Love.

01:41There's probably never been anything so large across the spectrum.

01:45Farm larrikinism.

01:47To the rest of the world, that was Australian.

01:49This was a terrific Australian film.

01:52Oh, mates.

01:54He did take a bullet for me, John.

01:56He's done a great job.

01:57This is really...

01:59I miss my mate.

02:01Health dropped.

02:03Changed my life.

02:11But, you know, if you've got the ability to make people laugh

02:14and forget their woes for a bit,

02:16what a job.

02:18What a job.
