** The fact that Mick is possibly a poacher isn’t taken as a big deal. Or that he kills a King Brown Snake and throws it away like garbage just because he wanted to show off. This is much HarsherInHindsight after Steve Irwin who loved and handled incredibly dangerous animals in a manner which would not harm them.

** On the subject of homophobia, in the second movie, Mick sees a man on a ledge DrivenToSuicide over his recent breakup. So Mick goes onto the ledge to try and talk the man inside. He then gives him a consoling hug...until the lovelorn man reveals he's gay, [[GayPanic at which point the revolted Mick pulls away]], goes back inside leaving him to kill himself. And it's ''all'' PlayedForLaughs. [[spoiler: We never find out if he jumps.]]

** The third movie ends with one of the most fitting song remixes of this trilogy: Music/MenAtWork's "Down Under".

* {{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, with even defenders of the second film preferring that ''In Los Angeles'' be forgotten.

** The second movie opens with Mick doing some blast-fishing. Aside from the ecological damage caused, it's also considered rather inappropriate in the WarOnTerror age.

This is much harsher in hindsight after Steve Irwin who loved and handled incredibly dangerous animals in a manner which would not harm them.

** Mick's treatment of the crossdresser/possible transwoman in the first movie. Grabbing someone's privates to find out what parts they have counts as sexual assault nowadays. It doesn't help that another bar patron refers to them with a gay slur.

** The scene where Mick walks around the streets of New York with that Bowie knife hanging on his hip not even getting a second look. In today's climate the cops would be all over him before he made it a city block... and that's if he made it through airport security with it in the first place, post 9/11 especially.

** The music when Mick first arrives in New York City.

** In ''Crocodile Dundee II'' Mick sees a weeping man on a ledge on the verge of killing himself over his relationship; our hero puts an arm around him while trying to talk him out of jumping...
--> '''Ledge Suicider''' (as he's called in the credits): I loved that bitch. And he betrayed me!
--> '''Mick''': He? (our firmly hetero "hero" pulls away in disgust and leaves him to jump).

** [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons "I see you've played Knifey-Spoony before."]]

* AssPull: Making up a native-sounding title for Dundee and claiming it means "The crocodile who walks like a man"
** Note this is not the fault of the writers, but rather Wally trying to play up Mick as a bigger badass than he already is, and get the villains nervous.
