* AwesomeMcCoolname: Subverted in the second movie. One of Mick's friends is an alleged gangster named Leeroy Brown, a la the Music/JimCroce [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bad,_Bad_Leroy_Brown song]]. It turns out that his persona is all an act, to live up to people's expectations that someone with a name like that ''must'' be a badass.

* ActionizedSequel: The second movie has more of a plot, involving the rescue of Sue from a drug cartel and a hide-and-seek manhunt in the bush.

It turns out that his persona is all an act, to live up to people's expectations that someone with a name like that ''must'' be a badass.
* BadassBystander: The two Japanese tourists in the subway that mistake Mick him for Creator/ClintEastwood and help him get rid of a killer.
* {{Badbutt}}: Leeroy Brown. He has a reputation at the community bar for his tough-guy demeanor and for selling what the bartender maintains is illicit substances. Turns out the "heavy shit" he regularly sells is nothing worse than simple office supplies, and his gangsteresque persona is just an act to live up to the pop-cultural reputation of his name. However, he ''does'' have connections with genuine tough guys who he enlists to help Mick rescue Sue.
* BalefulPolymorph: Mick tricks the drug dealers into thinking Luis Guzmán's character Jose got this treatment by tying Jose's bandana on a goanna that he leaves in their camp.
* BigEater: Mick, as demonstrated in the third movie.



* BoobyTrap: Mick uses a nonlethal version against one of the druglord's minions in 2. He also [[VisualPun baits it with Sue's bra]].



* CapturedByCannibals: The sequel plays with it. When Mick is capturing the drug dealers, one of his Aborigine friends asks the other if they get to eat these men, but they are just toying with the crooks.
* TheCartel: The main antagonists of the second movie.
* ChekhovsGun:
** In the second movie, Sue convinces Mick to buy some fancy aftershave, which Mick decides to send to Wally as a gift. Later, when Wally gets kidnapped by the drug dealers, Mick is able to track them by the scent of Wally's aftershave.

'''Dundee:''' And that's what you call cool, is it?\\
''[Rat says nothing, but has a thoughtful look on his face]''\\
'''Dundee:''' Tomorrow, if someone asks the same question, you can say, "We didn't do nothin.'" Or you can say, "We went out to Long Island and helped this lunatic storm a fortress."
* DaytimeDramaQueen: It becomes obvious in the second movie that Mick needs to get out more when he starts caring about what happens on ''Series/DaysOfOurLives''.
* DeadHatShot: Staged by Dundee (complete with a bite taken out of the brim) to stage a {{mook|s}}'s apparent death by crocodile.
* DeepFriedWhatever: Well, cooked over a fire, but one of Mick's Aborigine friends is seen snacking on a bat.
-->'''Walter:''' Are you really... enjoying that?\\

-->'''Charlie:''' Tell Mick if he want his clothes back, he can climb down there and get them his bloody self.
* DisneyVillainDeath: In the second movie, Luis falls to his death after he is accidentally shot by Miguel.



** The whole second half of ''II'' is Mick screwing around with the drug lords as if he were WesternAnimation/BugsBunny.



** Mick threatens to emasculate the DEA agent following him with his knife in the second movie. The agent turns out to be a cowardly fellow who doesn't need further persuasion beyond the threat.



* HeroSecretService: Mick uses a bull roarer to summon some of his Aboriginal and Walkabout Creek friends to help him neutralize the drug dealers.
* HighAltitudeInterrogation: Mick performs one on a hitman in the second film.

'''Sue:''' What did he say?\\
'''Charlie:''' ''[winking]'' He wants to know if we're allowed to eat these men.



* JapaneseTourist: Two camera-toting salarymen on holiday help Mick take down a thug in the sequel. Afterwards, they mistake Mick for Creator/ClintEastwood.

As soon as Mike is out of his sight, he hands the stuff to the real seller and pursues Mike. Later he also pretends to be looking at fruit and vegetables by a street stand.



* MoodWhiplash: The second half of the second film. The drug lord and his men are deadly serious, and truly threatening, but Mick is basically playing games with them, and isn't taking the situation seriously. In his defense, he so thoroughly outclasses them in the bush that he doesn't really ''have'' to take them seriously (considering that he's able to kidnap one of them, unharmed, from right out of their camp in the middle of the night, it shows how incompetent they are - he could have cut all their throats in their sleep and ended it right then and there).

'''Mick:''' [throws his knife across the room into the punk's mohawk] ''Better than average.''
** Brought to new levels in the third movie, where Dundee and a friend get accosted by a gang of thugs who drive up to them and threaten them at gunpoint.
--->'''Dundee:''' Son, you have any idea how quick you have to be to catch a tiger snake?\\

* SpannerInTheWorks: Sue doesn't think Mick is taking the drug dealers seriously enough.

[[IntrepidReporter Sue Charlton]] (Kozlowski) travels to [[LandDownUnder Australia]] to do some research on a story she'd heard about a man who survived a vicious crocodile attack in the bush. Who she finds is Mick "Crocodile" Dundee (Hogan), a quick-witted bushman who, it turns out, did ''not'' lose his leg to the vicious croc--but who seems to have an uncanny symbiosis with the Australian Outback. When Sue must return to UsefulNotes/NewYorkCity, she invites Mick to accompany her, and HilarityEnsues when he becomes the FishOutOfWater who is not so accustomed to the city as to the bush. Ultimately, she falls in love with the charismatic Australian, but must decide whether to go with him back to Australia or remain with her current boyfriend, Richard Mason (Creator/MarkBlum).

* RealityEnsues: Sue doesn't think Mick is taking the drug dealers seriously enough. However, he's treating it as a game because they're so ludicrously incompetent compared to him that he ''can'' treat it as a game, and when she tries to help, she just ends up screwing up his plans (though things work out anyway).

* NoAntagonist: The first film is very much a FishOutOfWater RomCom for Sue in Australia and Mick in New York, it has no real antagonist to speak of. The crocodile, The kangaroo poachers, New York muggers and the Gang members are all one-scene minor threats without much plot importance. The second and third movies do have antagonists however (Drug Dealers and Art Thieves).
