What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this '80s comedy features violence and alcohol use -- even one instance of cocaine use. The language and sexuality are on par with most PG-13 films, but there's near constant drinking and cigarette smoking, and several fight scenes. Still, the humor of the "fish out of water" genre conveys some positive themes about Australian and Aboriginal culture, being in tune with nature, and being kind and chivalrous.
Violence:
Many punches are thrown at a pub brawl against a pimp and his thugs. Kangaroo hunters use guns, as does Dundee to defend the animals. Dundee headbutts a man, saves Sue from the jaws of a croc, and sports his large knife on several occasions.
Sex:
Sue wears revealing outfits sans bra, including a thong bathing suit. Two prostitutes tell Croc they'd "give him one for free." Dundee spends most of the film shirtless, and in one scene is in the bath (no nudity is shown). Sue and Dundee kiss and embrace. Dundee checks between two androgynous people's legs.
Language:
Several uses of the words "s--t" and "Jesus," as well as "ass," and one "F" word. A transvestite is referred to as a "fag."
Consumerism:
New York tourist sites: Times Square, The Plaza, Newsday newspaper.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
A partygoer snorts cocaine, which Dundee thinks is a cold remedy. Dundee drinks a LOT, mostly beer. In several scenes, characters drink socially at bars or parties (beer or cocktails). Many people smoke cigarettes.
