Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut will be released on May 8th (mate) with a beautiful restoration and an Atmos soundtrack. Seeing Mick Dundee do his thing in 4k…? Yes please. 🦘

In celebration of its new-look, as well as the 40-year anniversary of this beloved Aussie classic 🇦🇺, we chatted with non-other than Hoges himself… And asked him about the line that changed the course of history, "I'll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for ya" 🦐.

00:00Why didn't you sign a prawn on the barbie? We call it a prawn.
00:03Come on, come and say g'day. I'll slip an extra shrimp on the barbie for you.
00:08Come and say g'day.
00:10Australians complained and said, why didn't you sign a prawn on the barbie?
00:13We call it a prawn.
00:15And they said to me, well we're not selling it to you, Hoag,
00:18we're selling Australia to the rest of the world and it's a shrimp.
00:21Oh, okay.
00:22So I had a big tiger prawn and calling it a shrimp, which is nice and ironic too.
00:25But that commercial is in the Smithsonian Institute in America,
00:30which is the biggest museum in the world and that's in there.
