Paul Hogan stars in The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee, an Australian comedy film directed by Dean Murphy from a script written by Murphy and Robert Mond. Rather than a straightforward Crocodile Dundee sequel, Hogan stars as a semi-fictional version of himself in a meta-comedy, after he is brought out of retirement in the wake of a knighthood offer by the Queen of England. But when he is caught up in a series of increasingly ludicrous scandals - throwing a snake at a 5th grade teacher, knocking out a nun, choking a child - he has to stage a comeback to salvage his reputation.
"Paul Hogan plays himself in this raucous comedy. Retired in L.A. and overshadowed by his Crocodile Dundee character, Hogan is offered a knighthood by the Queen of England. But before he can accept it, Hogan gets caught up in a series of comical scandals that dominate gossip shows and social media feeds. Can he keep his reputation clean long enough to hang onto his prize - and his dignity? Hilarious celebrity co-stars include Chevy Chase, John Cleese, Olivia Newton-John, and more!"
It's a fairly star-studded film which includes Chevy Chase, John Cleese, Olivia Newton-John, and more, though sadly none of the famous faces who appeared in the Dundee tourism ad like Danny McBride and Chris Hemsworth.
The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee premieres On Demand on December 11, 2020.
