Crocodile Dundee

  • Mick's solution to the problem of the kangaroo hunters; by the time he's through, the goons are scurrying home terrified that it seems that the kangaroos are shooting back!
  • Mick's jovial non-reaction to a guy with a switchblade trying to mug him.
    Sue: Mick...give him your wallet.
    Mick: What for?
    Sue: He's got a knife!
    Mick: Nah, that's not a knife. (pulls out an enormous Bowie Knife) That's a knife.
    • And then there's his Bond One-Liner after he completely cuts the mugger's jacket apart with a few casual flicks of his blade, causing him and the rest of the gang to run away—
      Mick: ...just kids havin' fun!
  • In New York City, two women approach Mick to do him a... favor for free. Their pimp threatens Mick, but Mick, being Mick, punches him out in one punch. Later, he comes back... but he's outnumbered three to one, and Mick, despite putting up a good fight, is subdued. Then, the limo driver who was driving him around arrives and runs into two of them and throws the decorative wing on the rear of the limo like a boomerang at the fleeing third assailant, knocking him out.
    Gus: No, man. Harlem Warlords.
    Mick: I knew you were tribal.
  • Mick and Sue go out for dinner with Richard, who spends much of the evening belittling Mick. Eventually, Mick subtly shows he's had enough, and punches Richard.
  • Any time they play the theme song. That rhythm just keeps driving forward.
  • Sue gets a small one when she demonstrates that she’s actually pretty good with a rifle when Mick teases her.

Crocodile Dundee II

  • Mick is able to convince a man not to jump to his death by comforting him and nearly falling to his own death.
    Jumper: Screw that!
  • Mick gets Sue out of the drug lord's house with the help of a punk gang.
  • In the Australian bush, Mick methodically capturing the mooks of the drug lord one by one, using guerrilla tactics and his perfect knowledge of the bush.

Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles

  • While on the "African Jungle" set on the Paramount Pictures studio tour, a robotic anaconda jumps out at Mick and Mikey. Mick, thinking it's real, pulls out his "pocket knife" and stabs it through the head.
