For 46 years, I made
magical memories with John,

00:01:11,931 --> 00:01:14,431
the love of my life,

13
00:01:14,531 --> 00:01:17,412
on this beautiful land.

00:01:21,972 --> 00:01:23,712
When we lose a loved one,

15
00:01:23,812 --> 00:01:26,412
we're left with
a heart full of memories.

16
00:01:28,332 --> 00:01:30,652
We pack those memories
into boxes...

17
00:01:35,212 --> 00:01:38,152
..but sometimes
we choose to reopen them

[Delvene] It was just
an infectiously good time.

00:01:55,853 --> 00:01:59,213
We cared for each other
and we had each other's backs.

24
00:02:00,933 --> 00:02:03,333
The chemistry was palpable.

25
00:02:04,293 --> 00:02:06,733
There was so much love on set.

26
00:02:11,933 --> 00:02:13,593
For nearly 60 years,

27
00:02:13,693 --> 00:02:16,433
John and Paul
were business partners,

29
00:02:19,133 --> 00:02:22,513
and the very best of mates.

00:02:22,613 --> 00:02:25,433
Two great Aussie blokes.

31
00:02:25,533 --> 00:02:29,313
And at their peak,
they made an iconic movie.

on a global scale,

37
00:02:53,614 --> 00:02:56,114

To save the film,
we had to restore it.

46
00:03:27,655 --> 00:03:30,715
Victoria and I
had to find all the elements

47
00:03:30,815 --> 00:03:32,815
for the restoration process.

48
00:03:33,255 --> 00:03:35,355
And in doing that,

49
00:03:35,455 --> 00:03:39,655
opening John's boxes
took on a much bigger purpose.

50
00:03:40,855 --> 00:03:44,995
More than 200,000
individual frames

51
00:03:45,095 --> 00:03:48,655
and millions of tiny flickers
were delicately restored.

52
00:03:49,815 --> 00:03:52,216
The result is stunning.

In John's boxes
was a treasure trove.

55
00:04:02,856 --> 00:04:05,876
Not only were there memories
of our two successful hotels

56
00:04:05,976 --> 00:04:08,596
and some very funny
television shows,

57
00:04:08,696 --> 00:04:10,396
but there was
the business side of the film

58
00:04:10,496 --> 00:04:12,716
that someone had to attend to.

59
00:04:12,816 --> 00:04:14,476
And that someone became me.

60
00:04:14,576 --> 00:04:16,116
Okay. Do you want to see
what's in this with me?

61
00:04:16,216 --> 00:04:18,216
[Victoria] Yeah, I do.

but it's my legacy too,

86
00:05:22,978 --> 00:05:25,878
I wondered why Croc
was so successful,

87
00:05:25,978 --> 00:05:28,918
why it became
such an iconic film.

88
00:05:29,018 --> 00:05:32,658
And why do so many people
still love it so much?

89
00:05:34,578 --> 00:05:36,198
I wanted to go back

90
00:05:36,298 --> 00:05:38,478
to see to where it all began
with John and Paul,

91
00:05:38,578 --> 00:05:41,998
to see where those first sparks
of magic happened.

92
00:05:42,098 --> 00:05:44,898
I couldn't wait to see
my old mate Paul.

93
00:05:45,778 --> 00:05:48,799
[Delvene] So I just... I'm
using the old mother's spits.

94
00:05:48,899 --> 00:05:50,479
Oh, it's just spit and lick,
is it?

103
00:06:10,259 --> 00:06:12,479
[Paul Hogan] I was a rigger
on the Harbour Bridge

104
00:06:12,579 --> 00:06:15,599
and fortunately John Cornell
came along at the right moment.

105
00:06:15,699 --> 00:06:18,319
He was, like, the London editor
of WA Newspapers

106
00:06:18,419 --> 00:06:20,239
at, like, 22 or something,

107
00:06:20,339 --> 00:06:25,680
and so he was far more worldly
than I could imagine.

108
00:06:25,780 --> 00:06:28,240
But we just hit it off.

109
00:06:28,340 --> 00:06:31,180
He was a bit of a larrikin too.
Changed my life.

110
00:06:33,140 --> 00:06:35,560
[John Cornell] I was producing
A Current Affair's program,

111
00:06:35,660 --> 00:06:37,960
the top current affairs
program down there,

112
00:06:38,060 --> 00:06:42,200
and I, in fact, had an idea
that we needed

113
00:06:42,300 --> 00:06:44,040
sort of a verbal cartoonist

114
00:06:44,140 --> 00:06:45,760
in this current affairs
program,

115
00:06:45,860 --> 00:06:47,840
the equivalent of
a newspaper cartoonist,

116
00:06:47,940 --> 00:06:49,480
just to lighten it up a bit,

117
00:06:49,580 --> 00:06:52,000
because news
is usually bad news.

118
00:06:52,100 --> 00:06:58,000
And... one of our reporters
saw him on this talent quest.

119
00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:00,320
[voiceover]
It's Australia's New Faces.

120
00:07:00,420 --> 00:07:02,880
[Paul] I went on New Faces.

00:07:02,980 --> 00:07:04,601
[voiceover]
..in Sydney, Terry Dear!

122
00:07:04,701 --> 00:07:08,241
I went on on a dare
as a tap-dancing knife thrower

123
00:07:08,341 --> 00:07:10,001
to take the mickey out of it,

124
00:07:10,101 --> 00:07:12,401
and the switchboard lit up.

125
00:07:12,501 --> 00:07:14,601
You know, and they said
it burst into flames.

126
00:07:14,701 --> 00:07:17,201
And so we tried him out
as this verbal cartoonist

127
00:07:17,301 --> 00:07:19,241
and he just... that was it,
you know?

128
00:07:19,341 --> 00:07:22,121
He just became
an instant overnight success.

129
00:07:22,221 --> 00:07:24,241
Hey, love. What do you think
of daylight saving?

130
00:07:24,341 --> 00:07:26,561
[mimics woman] Daylight saving?
Oh, I think it's marvellous.

131
00:07:26,661 --> 00:07:28,641
I have three kiddies and
my family use it all the time.

132
00:07:28,741 --> 00:07:31,201
So I still worked
on the bridge,

133
00:07:31,301 --> 00:07:33,281
then swing by Channel Nine,

134
00:07:33,381 --> 00:07:35,401
walk into the backyard
in front of a camera,

135
00:07:35,501 --> 00:07:38,801
do two minutes,
give me some money, off I'd go.

136
00:07:38,901 --> 00:07:40,801
Here's a caper for getting
into the races. Now watch this.

00:07:40,901 --> 00:07:42,802
Here's the gateman guarding
the gate where you get out.

138
00:07:42,902 --> 00:07:44,722
See? Now always
walk backwards.

139
00:07:44,822 --> 00:07:46,682
And they're never too sure
which way you're going then.

00:07:46,782 --> 00:07:48,782

141
00:07:50,782 --> 00:07:52,602
Oh, excuse me, mate.

142
00:07:52,702 --> 00:07:54,842
Yeah, done all me dough
in the first race.

143
00:07:54,942 --> 00:07:56,522
You know?
Might as well go home.

144
00:07:56,622 --> 00:07:58,362
Hello? Another quid here.

145
00:07:58,462 --> 00:08:00,982
I might as well go back inside
and see if I can invest that.

146
00:08:03,062 --> 00:08:04,762
That's the way age
beats inflation.

147
00:08:04,862 --> 00:08:06,482
John was smart enough
to realise

148
00:08:06,582 --> 00:08:08,562
there seemed to be a lot more
people watching on a Friday

149
00:08:08,662 --> 00:08:11,882
when Paul did his piece
on a weekly basis

150
00:08:11,982 --> 00:08:14,042
than were watching
at the start of the show.

151
00:08:14,142 --> 00:08:15,842
So it was clear to him

152
00:08:15,942 --> 00:08:17,922
that Australians were
liking and loving him.

153
00:08:18,022 --> 00:08:19,602
And that was
a very big show.

154
00:08:19,702 --> 00:08:21,483
The back of the Nine News
and A Current Affair -

155
00:08:21,583 --> 00:08:23,763
would've been getting
a couple of million viewers.

-Hello, Paul. Miss Universe.

00:08:29,383 --> 00:08:30,683
on A Current Affair

159
00:08:30,783 --> 00:08:32,643
and I said, "I know what
I want to talk about.

160
00:08:32,743 --> 00:08:34,723
"I need a mate that's a bit
dopier than me, though."

161
00:08:34,823 --> 00:08:37,523
And John used to do
a bad impression

162
00:08:37,623 --> 00:08:39,603
of Marlon Brando
in The Godfather,

163
00:08:39,703 --> 00:08:42,043
and it really sort of
made me laugh.

164
00:08:42,143 --> 00:08:45,243
Thus, Strop was born.
He became my dopey offsider.

so unusual about him.

He was a good-looking guy

176
00:09:12,544 --> 00:09:14,964
Hello, viewers, me and Hoges
abroad overseas.

177
00:09:15,064 --> 00:09:16,244
Good stuff, eh?

178
00:09:16,344 --> 00:09:18,084
This is the happiest moment
of my life.

179
00:09:18,184 --> 00:09:19,884
He was the brains
of the outfit.

180
00:09:19,984 --> 00:09:21,924
Right from the start,
John said, you know,

181
00:09:22,024 --> 00:09:24,024
"We're going into
show business.

182
00:09:25,944 --> 00:09:28,164
"You do the show,
I'll do the business.

183
00:09:28,264 --> 00:09:31,324
"All those crazy thoughts you
have, put 'em down on paper."

184
00:09:31,424 --> 00:09:33,424
And, well... he was right.

185
00:09:34,544 --> 00:09:36,564
They didn't know
what else to do with me.

186
00:09:36,664 --> 00:09:38,885
They were mumbling about,
"Oh, maybe have a quiz show

187
00:09:38,985 --> 00:09:41,085
"and have him as the compere
or something?"

188
00:09:41,185 --> 00:09:44,125
But then John said, "No, you've
got to have your own show."

189

-G'day.

196
00:10:06,385 --> 00:10:07,885
If you're wondering
why I'm dolled up

197
00:10:07,985 --> 00:10:09,645
like a sore toe tonight

198
00:10:09,745 --> 00:10:11,245
instead of wearing
me usual gear,

199
00:10:11,345 --> 00:10:13,085
it's because the control board

200
00:10:13,185 --> 00:10:15,405
has banned me usual gear
from the show.

201
00:10:15,505 --> 00:10:17,246
You see, they come to rehearsal
and they found out

202
00:10:17,346 --> 00:10:18,926
that when I sit
on a stool like this,

203
00:10:19,026 --> 00:10:20,926
the people in the first three
rows of the studio audience

204
00:10:21,026 --> 00:10:22,966
and anyone at home laying on
the floor could see straight up

205
00:10:23,066 --> 00:10:25,086
-the leg of me shorts.
-[laughter]

206
00:10:25,186 --> 00:10:27,166
I'd been working in television
for about 20 years

207
00:10:27,266 --> 00:10:29,806
before I met them -

208
00:10:29,906 --> 00:10:32,846
you know, right from
moving scenery around

209
00:10:32,946 --> 00:10:35,006
to doing a lot of
very major specials

210
00:10:35,106 --> 00:10:37,046
in Tonight Shows, et cetera.

211
00:10:37,146 --> 00:10:39,206
Well, one day
when I was at work

212
00:10:39,306 --> 00:10:41,206
at Channel Nine in Melbourne,

213
00:10:41,306 --> 00:10:44,286
I got a telephone call
from Kerry Packer,

214
00:10:44,386 --> 00:10:45,886
and he said,
"Do you know John Cornell?"

215
00:10:45,986 --> 00:10:47,606
I said, "No, I don't."

216
00:10:47,706 --> 00:10:50,886
He said, "Well, they want
to work with you."

217
00:10:50,986 --> 00:10:52,526
And as a result of that,

218
00:10:52,626 --> 00:10:55,246
that was when they moved from
Channel Seven to Channel Nine,

219
00:10:55,346 --> 00:10:58,967
so, you know,
it was on for anything, really.

220
00:10:59,067 --> 00:11:00,167
Good evening, viewers.

221
00:11:00,267 --> 00:11:01,527
-Good evening, viewers.

risks his life as he takes on
the wall of death.

228
00:11:18,907 --> 00:11:21,687
The Wanker family have been
involved in stunt work now

229
00:11:21,787 --> 00:11:23,367
for five generations,

230
00:11:23,467 --> 00:11:25,887
and it is my hope that
one day people will say,

231
00:11:25,987 --> 00:11:28,127
"There goes Leo,
the greatest Wanker of all."

232
00:11:28,227 --> 00:11:30,227

[audience cheer and applaud]

234
00:11:35,468 --> 00:11:39,528
No one drove it mainstream and
blew it up like Paul blew it up

235
00:11:39,628 --> 00:11:41,808
and The Paul Hogan Show
blew it up.

236
00:11:41,908 --> 00:11:44,188
-You want a bit of toast, son?
-[man] Thanks, mate.

[David Gyngell]
The Paul Hogan Show was

240
00:12:00,348 --> 00:12:02,288
such must-watch
television.

241
00:12:02,388 --> 00:12:05,048
And the data tells you
it's must-watched.

242
00:12:05,148 --> 00:12:06,928
There's probably never
been anything

243
00:12:07,028 --> 00:12:09,528
so large across the spectrum

244
00:12:09,628 --> 00:12:14,769
that ticked every box
of humour, fun, larrikinism.

245
00:12:14,869 --> 00:12:16,289
Australia.

246
00:12:16,389 --> 00:12:19,489
Welcome to the show
that tells it like it isn't.

247
00:12:19,589 --> 00:12:21,009
[audience chuckling]

248
00:12:21,109 --> 00:12:22,569
But it ought to be.

249
00:12:22,669 --> 00:12:24,409
[Peter Faiman] I loved
Paul's stand-ups.

250
00:12:24,509 --> 00:12:26,689
He always did
an intro to the show -

251
00:12:26,789 --> 00:12:28,529
about three or four minutes -

252
00:12:28,629 --> 00:12:33,849
and he really wrapped up
complex ideas

253
00:12:33,949 --> 00:12:36,249
that were topical
at the time

254
00:12:36,349 --> 00:12:38,089
into very simple language.

255
00:12:38,189 --> 00:12:40,409
Evening, viewers.
[clears throat]

256
00:12:40,509 --> 00:12:44,169
We are on the threshold
of a new era in television.

257
00:12:44,269 --> 00:12:46,449
Violence, sex and dirty stuff

258
00:12:46,549 --> 00:12:48,929
is under censorship attack
in America.

259
00:12:49,029 --> 00:12:55,570
He had an ability to
really distil current issues

260
00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:57,530
into something that
was very, very funny.

261
00:12:57,630 --> 00:13:00,010
Television will be so sterile

262
00:13:00,110 --> 00:13:03,050
you'll be able to heal wounds,
just stand in front of it.

263
00:13:03,150 --> 00:13:04,770
[Peter] He and I
used to have a lot of fun

264
00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:06,530
with him staying in character.

265
00:13:06,630 --> 00:13:09,210
So once he was dressed
and came dressed,

266
00:13:09,310 --> 00:13:11,250
I couldn't refer to him
as anything else.

267
00:13:11,350 --> 00:13:13,350
And that was part of the fun
that he and I had.

268
00:13:16,070 --> 00:13:18,070
[audience tittering]

269
00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:22,230
[audience laughing]

270
00:13:23,070 --> 00:13:24,890
I absolutely loved Strop.

271
00:13:24,990 --> 00:13:28,090
I thought he was, and is,
absolutely fabulous.

272
00:13:28,190 --> 00:13:29,890
Breaker, breaker, breaker,

273
00:13:29,990 --> 00:13:32,971
this is the old...
honeysuckle kisser.

274
00:13:33,071 --> 00:13:34,771
[audience laughing]

275
00:13:34,871 --> 00:13:38,651
Hoges was doing
90% of the funny stuff.

276
00:13:38,751 --> 00:13:41,611
John would roll in with
10% of the funny stuff,

277
00:13:41,711 --> 00:13:43,891
but John was driving it
all the way.

278
00:13:43,991 --> 00:13:46,291
Erm, a dash of tomato sauce.

and tittering]

282
00:13:57,271 --> 00:14:00,531
And, erm... an oyster, mate.

[audience groaning]

284
00:14:04,511 --> 00:14:06,091
Then-- Hold it.

00:14:06,191 --> 00:14:09,412
-Me secret ingredient.
-I get it. Go on.

dipped in Vegemite.

287
00:14:15,992 --> 00:14:18,052
[Paul] I know this, mate.
The old gag, right?

288
00:14:18,152 --> 00:14:20,172
We stir it up,
you tip it down the sink

289
00:14:20,272 --> 00:14:22,052
and you won't have
a blocked drain for six months.

290
00:14:22,152 --> 00:14:23,852
-Right?
-[audience laughing]

291
00:14:23,952 --> 00:14:25,492
No, mate, no.

292
00:14:25,592 --> 00:14:27,592
You drink it.

293
00:14:28,152 --> 00:14:30,392

294
00:14:31,512 --> 00:14:33,712
[moans]

295
00:14:37,072 --> 00:14:39,972
We'd get to the end
of a roll through a sketch

296
00:14:40,072 --> 00:14:41,772
and Hoges would go,
"Yeah, that'll do."

297
00:14:41,872 --> 00:14:43,972
And John would say,
"Nah, that won't do.

298
00:14:44,072 --> 00:14:46,092
"We're doing more.
We've got to keep going.

299
00:14:46,192 --> 00:14:48,053
"We've got to build it.
We've got to improve it.

300
00:14:48,153 --> 00:14:49,693
"We've really got to
take it somewhere else."

301
00:14:49,793 --> 00:14:51,093
Oh, excuse me,

302
00:14:51,193 --> 00:14:53,613
I've just been out there,
um, shelling the peas

303
00:14:53,713 --> 00:14:56,813
and fabulolling the frilly
things, what we sheilas wear.

[man clears throat]

This is your wife?

00:15:04,273 --> 00:15:06,213
-Yeah.
-[audience laughing]

308
00:15:06,313 --> 00:15:09,413
I discovered Delvene. [laughs]

309
00:15:09,513 --> 00:15:12,413
I met Delvene
at a television function.

310
00:15:12,513 --> 00:15:14,133
She was just... you know,
well, she's beautiful,

311
00:15:14,233 --> 00:15:15,693
but she was also funny

312
00:15:15,793 --> 00:15:17,653
and sort of
not up herself or anything.

313
00:15:17,753 --> 00:15:21,333
And I said to John,
"I found you a girl, mate.

314
00:15:21,433 --> 00:15:23,613
"Perfect for you."

315
00:15:23,713 --> 00:15:24,933
I wasn't thinking of it as

316
00:15:25,033 --> 00:15:26,574
a long-term
permanent relationship.

317
00:15:26,674 --> 00:15:28,294
I was thinking,
"She'd be good in the shows."

318
00:15:28,394 --> 00:15:30,174
And, you know, she had
a great sense of humour.

319
00:15:30,274 --> 00:15:32,374
He came over and said,

320
00:15:32,474 --> 00:15:34,094
"You don't know me,
I'm John Cornell.

321
00:15:34,194 --> 00:15:36,374
"I produce
The Paul Hogan Shows.

322
00:15:36,474 --> 00:15:38,174
"Would you like to be on it?"

323
00:15:38,274 --> 00:15:40,854
To be asked to be on
The Paul Hogan Show was huge.

324
00:15:40,954 --> 00:15:43,374
So, yes, please. Yeah.

325
00:15:43,474 --> 00:15:46,334
And then
at the first rehearsal,

326
00:15:46,434 --> 00:15:48,014
you know,
"Can you play a nun?"

327
00:15:48,114 --> 00:15:49,414
"Yep. Can play a nun."

328
00:15:49,514 --> 00:15:52,054
Don't come any closer, mother.
I'm desperate.

329
00:15:52,154 --> 00:15:53,654
"Can you play a prostitute?"

330
00:15:53,754 --> 00:15:55,174
"Yeah, I can play
a prostitute."

331
00:15:55,274 --> 00:15:58,414
Anyone ever tell you
you've got a very cruel mouth?

332
00:15:58,514 --> 00:16:01,294
Like, the way it curls up
at the corner like that.

333
00:16:01,394 --> 00:16:02,694
[chuckles]

334
00:16:02,794 --> 00:16:05,995
"Can you play a schoolgirl?"
"Yep. Do a good schoolgirl."

335
00:16:06,755 --> 00:16:08,895
[gasps] See, Sissy,
I told you it was this house

336
00:16:08,995 --> 00:16:11,095
with the aerial
stickin' out the window.

337
00:16:11,195 --> 00:16:13,335
I just said yes,
yes to everything

338
00:16:13,435 --> 00:16:15,975
even though I'd never
done any of them before.

339
00:16:16,075 --> 00:16:17,975
I was like, I don't want
to miss my chance.

340
00:16:18,075 --> 00:16:20,075
[moans]

341
00:16:23,635 --> 00:16:25,535
Great party, Hoges. [chuckles]

342
00:16:25,635 --> 00:16:27,495
[Delvene] I didn't
know him at all.

343
00:16:27,595 --> 00:16:29,855
I... I thought he was Strop.

344
00:16:29,955 --> 00:16:31,615
[laughs] And then...

345
00:16:31,715 --> 00:16:34,735
and then after
the first two shows,

346
00:16:34,835 --> 00:16:37,515
we started to see each other.

347
00:16:38,275 --> 00:16:40,655
And I remember
saying to my mum,

348
00:16:40,755 --> 00:16:42,895
"I'm coming up to Brisbane
next weekend, Mum.

349
00:16:42,995 --> 00:16:47,096
"I'm going to bring
my boyfriend to meet you."

350
00:16:47,196 --> 00:16:48,976
"Oh, who's that?"
And I said, "Strop."

351
00:16:49,076 --> 00:16:51,816

352
00:16:51,916 --> 00:16:53,916
[audience laughing]

353
00:16:54,516 --> 00:16:59,376
[laughing] So...
she thought I...

354
00:16:59,476 --> 00:17:01,476
she thought I was dating Strop.

355
00:17:02,196 --> 00:17:04,196
[laughs]

356
00:17:04,956 --> 00:17:06,956
Rosie?

357
00:17:07,316 --> 00:17:09,556
[guffaws] She's under.

358
00:17:10,396 --> 00:17:13,056
Delvene was usually
the desirable target

359
00:17:13,156 --> 00:17:15,576
that Strop could never get,
you know?

360
00:17:15,676 --> 00:17:17,496
You'll just want to smother me
with hugs and kisses

361
00:17:17,596 --> 00:17:18,696
and stuff like that.

362
00:17:18,796 --> 00:17:20,056
[audience chuckling]

363
00:17:20,156 --> 00:17:22,697
And when I say,
"Stop, that's enough,"

364
00:17:22,797 --> 00:17:25,857
you'll say,
"I haven't started yet,

365
00:17:25,957 --> 00:17:27,957
"loverboy."

366
00:17:28,717 --> 00:17:30,377
[stifles laughter]

367
00:17:30,477 --> 00:17:32,017
[dejected] Oh, Rosie.

368
00:17:32,117 --> 00:17:33,657
[Rosie laughing]
I can't take this!

369
00:17:33,757 --> 00:17:35,537
See ya, Hoges, and, uh...

370
00:17:35,637 --> 00:17:37,897
see ya, loverboy. [chuckles]

371
00:17:37,997 --> 00:17:41,057
Delvene's characters
on all of those shows

372
00:17:41,157 --> 00:17:43,057
were absolutely outrageous.

373
00:17:43,157 --> 00:17:45,157
[smooth rock music plays]

374
00:17:55,997 --> 00:17:57,997
[audience tittering]

375
00:17:58,597 --> 00:17:59,817
Ohh!

376
00:17:59,917 --> 00:18:01,918
[audience laughing]

377
00:18:05,038 --> 00:18:07,778
[Peter] I think, every time
that we went out on location

378
00:18:07,878 --> 00:18:10,418
and shot something,
or in the studio,

379
00:18:10,518 --> 00:18:13,098
between John, Paul
and Delvene,

380
00:18:13,198 --> 00:18:15,198
we had the most
hysterical times.

381
00:18:16,078 --> 00:18:17,138
Da-dah!

382
00:18:17,238 --> 00:18:19,898
[theme music plays]

[theme music continues]

386
00:18:34,238 --> 00:18:36,638
Spread your butter on -
nice and lumpy.

387
00:18:38,678 --> 00:18:40,939
Here's an important bit.

388
00:18:41,039 --> 00:18:42,899
Leave a big dob of butter
on the knife.

389
00:18:42,999 --> 00:18:43,979
See? Like that?

390
00:18:44,079 --> 00:18:46,079
Why?

391
00:18:46,759 --> 00:18:49,859
To wipe off in the Vegemite.

392
00:18:49,959 --> 00:18:52,139
[audience laughing]

393
00:18:52,239 --> 00:18:54,219
[Peter] Paul was
the ultimate Aussie.

394
00:18:54,319 --> 00:18:57,939
I mean, he was...
he spoke Australian.

395
00:18:58,039 --> 00:19:00,299
He was the Aussie
that everybody wanted to be.

396
00:19:00,399 --> 00:19:02,459
Hogan's a 1975 Australian.

397
00:19:02,559 --> 00:19:04,179
He doesn't talk
in rhyming slang.

398
00:19:04,279 --> 00:19:05,539
He doesn't say, you know,

399
00:19:05,639 --> 00:19:07,579
"El Glia down
the horse and float."

400
00:19:07,679 --> 00:19:10,179
And he doesn't talk... Which
sort of died 20 years ago.

401
00:19:10,279 --> 00:19:12,099
And he's not the bushman.

402
00:19:12,199 --> 00:19:13,939
He hasn't got kangaroos
and cork hats

403
00:19:14,039 --> 00:19:15,659
and all that sort of thing
around him.

404
00:19:15,759 --> 00:19:17,740
He's a 1975 builder's labourer
Australian.

405
00:19:17,840 --> 00:19:19,460
And a bit of a character.

406
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:21,380
Not saying that every
Australian's like that

407
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:23,340
or even that every Australian's
got a bit of Hogan in 'em,

408
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,700
but there's plenty of Hogans
out there in the pubs,

409
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:27,580
and I'll tell you what,
they're alright.

410
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,960
[audience cheering, applauding]

411
00:19:39,040 --> 00:19:40,500
Alright, mate,
explain yourself.

412
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,460
What's this about you
resigning from the show?

413
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,620
Yes, mate, well...

414
00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,900
this can explain better
than I could, mate.

415
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,180
It's me scrapbook.

416
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,280

-Mmm.

[audience laughing]

420
00:20:00,201 --> 00:20:02,381
That's a bit tough on you,
mate.

421
00:20:02,481 --> 00:20:05,581
Uh, that's not about me, mate.
That's you.

422
00:20:05,681 --> 00:20:07,621
[audience roaring
with laughter]

423
00:20:07,721 --> 00:20:09,741
[Delvene] Playing Strop
allowed John

424
00:20:09,841 --> 00:20:13,741
to hide behind a character
as a writer.

425
00:20:13,841 --> 00:20:16,321
And he was always observant.

426
00:20:17,721 --> 00:20:20,581
He wasn't recognised
in the street

427
00:20:20,681 --> 00:20:22,681
when he wasn't Strop.

428
00:20:23,641 --> 00:20:26,261
He never wanted
to be in the spotlight

429
00:20:26,361 --> 00:20:29,581
because it robbed him
of that opportunity to observe.

430
00:20:29,681 --> 00:20:33,581
And so, you know, for people
to find out that it was

431
00:20:33,681 --> 00:20:36,542
actually a very astute
businessman

432
00:20:36,642 --> 00:20:38,062
behind that character,

433
00:20:38,162 --> 00:20:40,162
it was a shock
for some people.

434
00:20:41,882 --> 00:20:43,742
[Peter] John was an
extraordinary businessman

435
00:20:43,842 --> 00:20:46,342
and he had great ideas
and he was very ambitious.

436
00:20:46,442 --> 00:20:49,742
And once he got, you know,

437
00:20:49,842 --> 00:20:54,582
Paul settled with the shows,
et cetera,

438
00:20:54,682 --> 00:20:58,342
he was continually moving on to
what the next thing could be.

439
00:20:58,442 --> 00:21:01,182
He was able to crack the nuts
of these things

440
00:21:01,282 --> 00:21:03,502
and he was such an optimist

441
00:21:03,602 --> 00:21:06,022
and we all assumed
that one day it would happen.

442
00:21:06,122 --> 00:21:07,902
From the day I met him,
he was talking about

443
00:21:08,002 --> 00:21:09,822
the potential
of World Series Cricket.

444
00:21:09,922 --> 00:21:13,223
He was very astute in his
negotiations with Kerry Packer

445
00:21:13,323 --> 00:21:14,783
on The Paul Hogan Show.

446
00:21:14,883 --> 00:21:17,023
[Bill] Packer, he was
number one in Australia

447
00:21:17,123 --> 00:21:19,103
by a significant margin

448
00:21:19,203 --> 00:21:23,223
insofar as wealth,
influence and profile

449
00:21:23,323 --> 00:21:26,243
in the entertainment
and media industries.

450
00:21:27,803 --> 00:21:32,703
John knew that Kerry would
be up for supporting his idea

451
00:21:32,803 --> 00:21:38,583
of a renegade breakaway
cricket revolution

452
00:21:38,683 --> 00:21:41,143
that would pay
the players properly.

So, once again, it was that
resourcefulness of John

467
00:22:19,044 --> 00:22:20,904
that led him to go,
"What do we need?

468
00:22:21,004 --> 00:22:23,404
"I know what we need.
We need patriotism back."

469
00:22:24,964 --> 00:22:27,744
[Peter] The Australian way
was what was reflected

470
00:22:27,844 --> 00:22:29,664
in the tourist campaign.

471
00:22:29,764 --> 00:22:31,585
To the rest of the world,
that was Australia,

472
00:22:31,685 --> 00:22:34,865
and he personified Australia.

473
00:22:34,965 --> 00:22:37,545
America, you look like
you need a holiday.

474
00:22:37,645 --> 00:22:39,865
A fair dinkum holiday.

475
00:22:39,965 --> 00:22:43,825
In the land of wonder,
the land down under!

476
00:22:43,925 --> 00:22:45,905
"America, you look like
you need a holiday."

477
00:22:46,005 --> 00:22:47,825
What a great opening line.

478
00:22:47,925 --> 00:22:49,745
Now, there's a few things
I've got to warn ya about.

479
00:22:49,845 --> 00:22:52,145
Firstly, you're gonna get wet,

480
00:22:52,245 --> 00:22:54,625
because the place
is surrounded by water.

481
00:22:54,725 --> 00:22:57,045
Oh, and you're gonna
have to learn to say g'day.

482
00:22:59,125 --> 00:23:01,185
'Cause every day's a good day
in Australia.

483
00:23:01,285 --> 00:23:02,785
-G'day, Paul.
-G'day, love.

484
00:23:02,885 --> 00:23:04,425
Where did this idea come from?

485
00:23:04,525 --> 00:23:06,465
'Cause this whole idea
for the campaign

486
00:23:06,565 --> 00:23:08,265
was yours originally,
wasn't it?

487
00:23:08,365 --> 00:23:12,346
Well, not mine, but it was
myself, John Cornell,

488
00:23:12,446 --> 00:23:16,106
and Alan Morris and
Allan Johnston, which is Mojo.

489
00:23:16,206 --> 00:23:19,106
It was a thing we talked about
for about the last two years

490
00:23:19,206 --> 00:23:21,106
after travelling a lot
and finding out

491
00:23:21,206 --> 00:23:24,226
how nobody knew anything
about Australia really.

492
00:23:24,326 --> 00:23:26,346
And we were all in marketing

493
00:23:26,446 --> 00:23:29,426
and thought this would be
the ideal product to market.

494
00:23:29,526 --> 00:23:32,386
And then when John Brown
got into office

495
00:23:32,486 --> 00:23:34,386
with the Labor Government,

496
00:23:34,486 --> 00:23:36,706
we'd heard about him,
he was a goer.

497
00:23:36,806 --> 00:23:38,466
So I went and talked to him

498
00:23:38,566 --> 00:23:42,186
and he jumped in, threw a hand
in too, and went from there.

499
00:23:42,286 --> 00:23:43,986
He was such a proud Australian.

500
00:23:44,086 --> 00:23:47,707
He was annoyed that people knew
nothing about us, you know.

501
00:23:47,807 --> 00:23:50,587
We were the bloody mystery
of the world.

502
00:23:50,687 --> 00:23:52,267
No one was coming here.

503
00:23:52,367 --> 00:23:54,147
G'day, America.

504
00:23:54,247 --> 00:23:56,747
Now, pay attention
'cause this is important stuff.

505
00:23:56,847 --> 00:23:58,667
Before you come down under
for your Aussie holiday,

506
00:23:58,767 --> 00:24:00,387
you've got to get in shape.

507
00:24:00,487 --> 00:24:02,787
Tone up those relaxin' muscles
'cause they'll get a work out.

508
00:24:02,887 --> 00:24:04,887
Practise smiling.

509
00:24:06,447 --> 00:24:10,227
He dispelled all the bullshit
about Australia

510
00:24:10,327 --> 00:24:12,067
and he opened the eyes
of the world

511
00:24:12,167 --> 00:24:13,747
to what we've got here.

512
00:24:13,847 --> 00:24:17,907
Freedom, clean air,
the environment.

513
00:24:18,007 --> 00:24:19,547
Hello.

514
00:24:19,647 --> 00:24:21,707
Looks like a boatload of your
countrymen coming in there now.

515
00:24:21,807 --> 00:24:23,227

00:24:23,327 --> 00:24:27,628

an overseas holiday

518
00:24:29,888 --> 00:24:33,908
to fifth, and Paul
is so proud of that, you know.

519
00:24:34,008 --> 00:24:37,548
He refused to take any money,
he and Cornell.

There was one
significant naysayer,

619

and it was his view - as
a person of the film industry

620
00:28:56,415 --> 00:28:58,515
and a director
who had done a few things -

621
00:28:58,615 --> 00:29:01,735
that the script was a load
of bollocks, it was hopeless.

622
00:29:06,375 --> 00:29:08,435
Put in a six-page memo
to Hoyts

623
00:29:08,535 --> 00:29:10,515
and he was advising
at the time, saying,

624
00:29:10,615 --> 00:29:12,675
"Don't touch Crocodile Dundee
with a 40-foot barge pole."

625

"Hogan is a television star.
He won't ever be a movie star."

627
00:29:22,495 --> 00:29:24,675

We didn't get it.

00:29:26,415 --> 00:29:29,515
If I had money back then,
which I didn't,

630
00:29:29,615 --> 00:29:31,795
it would've been a no-brainer,
knowing John Cornell,

631
00:29:31,895 --> 00:29:32,995

missed that no-brainer.

00:32:02,219 --> 00:32:05,399
Peter Faiman, the director,
had never made a film.

692
00:32:05,499 --> 00:32:08,399
There was a vital component

693
00:32:08,499 --> 00:32:10,360
that had never
done a film before.

694
00:32:10,460 --> 00:32:14,000
And so John's attitude was,
"I want the best.

695
00:32:14,100 --> 00:32:17,080
"I want Russell Boyd
and Ray Brown,"

696
00:32:17,180 --> 00:32:19,720
and all of these people
who were hugely experienced

697
00:32:19,820 --> 00:32:22,080
and excellent in their fields

698
00:32:22,180 --> 00:32:24,240
to help carry this project.

699
00:32:24,340 --> 00:32:27,400
Because, first of all,
we're going to learn from them,

700
00:32:27,500 --> 00:32:30,480
but secondly, they're going to
pick up any shortfalls

701
00:32:30,580 --> 00:32:34,040
that might be there
because we're first timers.

702
00:32:34,140 --> 00:32:36,920
[indistinct chatter on set]

703
00:32:37,020 --> 00:32:39,040
[Peter] Well, the central cast
was obviously Paul

704
00:32:39,140 --> 00:32:41,960
and we were all very, very keen
on working with John Meillon.

705
00:32:42,060 --> 00:32:44,920
So there was an Australian cast
that we gathered,

706
00:32:45,020 --> 00:32:48,261
but then the American girl
was something else.

707
00:32:50,821 --> 00:32:53,361
An associate producer and I
were left in LA for a while

708
00:32:53,461 --> 00:32:57,281
to find somebody
to play this part of Sue.

709
00:32:57,381 --> 00:32:59,961
We interviewed a lot of
well-known actresses,

710
00:33:00,061 --> 00:33:03,401
but nobody really in LA
was interested

711
00:33:03,501 --> 00:33:06,961
in taking the risk
of coming to Australia,

712
00:33:07,061 --> 00:33:09,801
going through some plight
in the outback,

713
00:33:09,901 --> 00:33:13,701
staying in motels instead of
hotels and not having a limo.

714
00:33:15,341 --> 00:33:19,321
Linda Kozlowski came in to meet

715
00:33:19,421 --> 00:33:21,761
and she said,
"Yeah, I'm up for it,

716
00:33:21,861 --> 00:33:25,601
"I'll give it a go.
Sounds terrific." You know?

717
00:33:25,701 --> 00:33:28,982
"What's he like?"
[chuckles] Meaning Paul.

718
00:33:29,942 --> 00:33:32,002
[Linda] One of the things
that struck me about the script

719
00:33:32,102 --> 00:33:34,602
was that it had
all the elements

720
00:33:34,702 --> 00:33:37,802
of what I would want to see
when I go see a movie.

721
00:33:37,902 --> 00:33:41,962
It was funny, it was romantic,
it had adventure,

722
00:33:42,062 --> 00:33:44,242
you know, it had sort of a
little bit of everything in it

723
00:33:44,342 --> 00:33:45,802
and I loved his character.

724
00:33:45,902 --> 00:33:49,802
I mean, I thought
if I ever met that man in life,

725
00:33:49,902 --> 00:33:51,562
I would want his children.

726
00:33:51,662 --> 00:33:53,362
He's such a great character.

727
00:33:53,462 --> 00:33:55,762
The only problem is
Actors' Equity have said,

728
00:33:55,862 --> 00:33:57,482
"No, you can't do that.

729
00:33:57,582 --> 00:33:59,722
"If you want to bring someone
in for an Australian film,

730
00:33:59,822 --> 00:34:01,722
"they'll need to be
a known celebrity.

731
00:34:01,822 --> 00:34:03,522
"You'll want a superstar."

732
00:34:03,622 --> 00:34:06,243
[Linda] I had just done
Death of a Salesman on Broadway

733
00:34:06,343 --> 00:34:08,163
with Dustin Hoffman

734
00:34:08,263 --> 00:34:10,123
and John Malkovich
and Stephen Lang.

735
00:34:10,223 --> 00:34:14,043
And I wasn't a well-known
actress, I wasn't famous,

736
00:34:14,143 --> 00:34:15,923
and they felt like
if you're not going to get

737
00:34:16,023 --> 00:34:17,283
a famous actress,

738
00:34:17,383 --> 00:34:19,283
then it should be
an Australian actress.

739
00:34:19,383 --> 00:34:22,003
[Delvene] John believed
in authenticity.

740
00:34:22,103 --> 00:34:26,023
An American actress
had to play the American role.

741
00:34:26,903 --> 00:34:30,503
To solve the visa issue,
John wrote to John Brown.

742
00:34:31,943 --> 00:34:34,403
He says, "I'm stuck."

743
00:34:34,503 --> 00:34:38,363
Well, I had
a multiple of portfolios.

744
00:34:38,463 --> 00:34:40,883
I was the Minister for the
Arts, so that was affecting me.

745
00:34:40,983 --> 00:34:43,404
I was also
the Minister for Immigration -

746
00:34:43,504 --> 00:34:45,444
acting at that stage,
someone was away.

747
00:34:45,544 --> 00:34:47,324
So as the Minister for Arts,

748
00:34:47,424 --> 00:34:50,844
I wrote to myself
as the Minister for Immigration

749
00:34:50,944 --> 00:34:53,204
and wrote back, giving
permission to bring her in.

750
00:34:53,304 --> 00:34:54,604
[laughs]

751
00:34:54,704 --> 00:34:57,364
Actors' Equity haven't
forgiven me yet!

752
00:34:57,464 --> 00:34:59,464
[laughs]

753
00:35:00,584 --> 00:35:02,564
[Delvene] You'd never know
that John was stressed.

754
00:35:02,664 --> 00:35:05,964
He loved to solve problems.

755
00:35:06,064 --> 00:35:08,724
He was good at it,
didn't mind a challenge at all.

756
00:35:08,824 --> 00:35:12,004
You know, I had confidence
that you guys would get me in.

757
00:35:12,104 --> 00:35:14,804
[laughs] I really... I did.

758
00:35:14,904 --> 00:35:16,984
I don't know why.
I just really believed that.

759
00:35:19,624 --> 00:35:21,684
[Ray Brown] I'll never forget
we met those guys,

760
00:35:21,784 --> 00:35:25,365
Paul and Corny on set.

761
00:35:25,465 --> 00:35:28,045
We got off to a great start.

762
00:35:28,145 --> 00:35:30,845
Hoges and Corny
come towards us

763
00:35:30,945 --> 00:35:34,405
and he used
the old g'day thing.

764
00:35:34,505 --> 00:35:38,645
And he just said, "Hey, guys,

765
00:35:38,745 --> 00:35:42,085
"we think you're
the most experienced crew

766
00:35:42,185 --> 00:35:44,765
"we could get in Australia,

767
00:35:44,865 --> 00:35:49,325
"and we don't know a lot
about feature filming."

768
00:35:49,425 --> 00:35:52,245
And then he said,
"But, by the way,

769
00:35:52,345 --> 00:35:56,045
"we know a hell of a lot
about television

770
00:35:56,145 --> 00:36:00,245
"and, more importantly, we know
a hell of a lot about comedy."

771
00:36:00,345 --> 00:36:03,926
At the end of that
little chitchat,

772
00:36:04,026 --> 00:36:07,586
Hoges said, "Let's go
make a movie together."

773
00:36:09,826 --> 00:36:12,966
Shooting. Start over.

774
00:36:13,066 --> 00:36:15,346
-[shouts indistinctly]
-[man] Action!

775
00:36:16,066 --> 00:36:18,906
[exciting instrumental music]

776
00:36:34,266 --> 00:36:38,006
Hi. Walter Reilly,
Never Never Safaris.

777
00:36:38,106 --> 00:36:40,287
I'm Mr Dundee's
business partner.

778
00:36:40,387 --> 00:36:41,927
[Linda as Sue]
Nice to meet you, Mr Reilly.

779
00:36:42,027 --> 00:36:43,767
Oh, please, call me Walter.

780
00:36:43,867 --> 00:36:46,767
We're pretty informal
up here in the bush.

781
00:36:46,867 --> 00:36:50,007
Linda had yet to have
the adventure

782
00:36:50,107 --> 00:36:52,507
of actually shooting
in the outback.

783
00:36:54,067 --> 00:36:55,927
[Linda] I really didn't know
that much about it.

784
00:36:56,027 --> 00:36:58,047
I felt like, you know,
it'll be some foresty place

785
00:36:58,147 --> 00:37:00,447
just outside Sydney somewhere.

786
00:37:00,547 --> 00:37:05,107
And I wasn't prepared
for what it really was.

787
00:37:06,187 --> 00:37:08,187
[silence]

788
00:37:09,787 --> 00:37:11,787
[crow cawing]

789
00:37:15,427 --> 00:37:19,028
So the first stop was in
the middle of nowhere, right?

790
00:37:22,508 --> 00:37:25,768
It was dead silent,

791
00:37:25,868 --> 00:37:28,488
there was nothing around,
she's a New York girl

792
00:37:28,588 --> 00:37:31,328
and freaked,
absolutely freaked out,

793
00:37:31,428 --> 00:37:33,428
and said, "I can't do this,
I can't do this."

794
00:37:35,668 --> 00:37:37,448
[clapper loader] Mark it.

795
00:37:37,548 --> 00:37:39,548
Action!

796
00:37:46,188 --> 00:37:48,188
Welcome to Walkabout Creek.

797
00:37:51,868 --> 00:37:54,848
[Peter] So all her security
had gone, right?

798
00:37:54,948 --> 00:37:58,149
So that's a New York girl
stepping into the outback.

799
00:38:02,629 --> 00:38:05,489
[Linda] It was actually
a little town called McKinlay

800
00:38:05,589 --> 00:38:08,849
that we changed it to
Walkabout Creek for the film.

801
00:38:08,949 --> 00:38:12,069
And the actual town
had a population of 17.

802
00:38:16,309 --> 00:38:17,529
We knew them all.

803
00:38:17,629 --> 00:38:19,949
We knew the whole town
by the time we left.

804
00:38:22,909 --> 00:38:27,929
This is the pub and this is
where I first meet Mr Dundee.

805
00:38:28,029 --> 00:38:30,029
-Nah, nah...
-Alright.

806
00:38:31,949 --> 00:38:36,730
[Peter] Linda was
a Juilliard-trained actress.

807
00:38:36,830 --> 00:38:42,210
Hoges is not
in the slightest bit interested

808
00:38:42,310 --> 00:38:44,410
in actresses for a start,

809
00:38:44,510 --> 00:38:46,970
meaning, you know,
the profession of it,

810
00:38:47,070 --> 00:38:49,070
and certainly didn't
want to rehearse.

811
00:38:50,110 --> 00:38:51,690
[Linda] Pete was great.

812
00:38:51,790 --> 00:38:54,570
We would just go page by page
through the script

813
00:38:54,670 --> 00:38:56,610
and he was my sounding board.

814
00:38:56,710 --> 00:39:01,090
I could really talk to him
about the character

815
00:39:01,190 --> 00:39:03,650
and my feelings
and what I felt good about,

816
00:39:03,750 --> 00:39:05,750
what I didn't feel
so good about.

817
00:39:07,750 --> 00:39:12,130
[Peter] When Linda met Hoges
and he didn't want to rehearse,

818
00:39:12,230 --> 00:39:14,091
she suddenly recognised,
"Well, hang on,

819
00:39:14,191 --> 00:39:16,131
"I'm working with
an amateur here.

820
00:39:16,231 --> 00:39:18,851
"Who is this person?
I don't get it."

821
00:39:18,951 --> 00:39:21,531
Nothing like a double bourbon
to start the day off right.

822
00:39:21,631 --> 00:39:23,631
[crew member laughs]

823
00:39:24,591 --> 00:39:26,591
Hey?

824
00:39:29,271 --> 00:39:32,251
[Peter] I spent hours at night
talking her down

825
00:39:32,351 --> 00:39:33,971
because she wanted
to go back to America

826
00:39:34,071 --> 00:39:36,011
because she was working
with this unprofessional.

827
00:39:36,111 --> 00:39:39,811
And I had to say
"He's a very big star.

828
00:39:39,911 --> 00:39:43,131
"People in Australia love him.
He's terribly smart.

829
00:39:43,231 --> 00:39:47,311
"It will work.
I promise you it will work."

830
00:39:49,791 --> 00:39:52,092
Get the camera off me
so I can spit this shit out.

831
00:39:52,192 --> 00:39:54,192
[crew members laugh]

832
00:39:55,752 --> 00:39:58,172
[Peter] At that point in time
I realised that

833
00:39:58,272 --> 00:40:00,772
what we really had to do

834
00:40:00,872 --> 00:40:05,772
was film as much as we could
in sequence

835
00:40:05,872 --> 00:40:08,412
so that they could really
get together

836
00:40:08,512 --> 00:40:10,292
and work together properly.

837
00:40:10,392 --> 00:40:12,372
And the story was, of course,

838
00:40:12,472 --> 00:40:16,132
her as a journalist meeting
Paul as this outback guy.

839
00:40:16,232 --> 00:40:20,532
So I thought,
"Well, if we start there,

840
00:40:20,632 --> 00:40:24,732
"then perhaps the chemistry
will build," right?

841
00:40:24,832 --> 00:40:28,092
'Cause it was the only way
I could get her around

842
00:40:28,192 --> 00:40:31,773
to accepting
Paul's style of work

843
00:40:31,873 --> 00:40:34,853
and, frankly, Paul around
to understanding

844
00:40:34,953 --> 00:40:37,133
what she required from him.

845
00:40:37,233 --> 00:40:39,373
Hang on to Cyril for me, Wal,

846
00:40:39,473 --> 00:40:42,393
while I dance with
this charming young lady.

847
00:40:44,793 --> 00:40:46,133
[Paul as Mick]
Stand aside, boys.

848
00:40:46,233 --> 00:40:48,373
[wolf-whistling,
lively chatter]

849
00:40:48,473 --> 00:40:50,493
[Linda] Honestly, being on
the set of Crocodile Dundee,

850
00:40:50,593 --> 00:40:53,013
you felt that innocence
in a way.

851
00:40:53,113 --> 00:40:56,373
It was like, "I've got a barn,
let's put on a show!

852
00:40:56,473 --> 00:40:57,693
"Come on, everybody!"

853
00:40:57,793 --> 00:40:59,793
[upbeat music]

854
00:41:01,753 --> 00:41:04,413
It had that, like,
"Yeah!" kind of feeling

855
00:41:04,513 --> 00:41:06,733
and you don't get that
very often.

856
00:41:06,833 --> 00:41:09,214
[crew member]
And cut. Thank you.

857
00:41:09,314 --> 00:41:11,374
[John chuckles]

858
00:41:11,474 --> 00:41:12,934
[both laugh]

859
00:41:13,034 --> 00:41:15,274
-We're not saying a word.
-Hello.

860
00:41:15,914 --> 00:41:17,414
[Delvene]
From what I witnessed,

861
00:41:17,514 --> 00:41:19,294
it was just a great shoot.

862
00:41:19,394 --> 00:41:21,174
Just a happy time
for everybody.

863
00:41:21,274 --> 00:41:23,094
"You'll find just
a nice friendly bunch

864
00:41:23,194 --> 00:41:25,534
"up here in this town."

865
00:41:25,634 --> 00:41:28,094
-[laughs]
-And I smile and walk in.

866
00:41:28,194 --> 00:41:30,054
Perfect. Yeah, we don't need
to do that then, do we?

867
00:41:30,154 --> 00:41:31,334
That's easy.

868
00:41:31,434 --> 00:41:33,014
In fact, you should've
brought your own crew.

869
00:41:33,114 --> 00:41:34,614
And I know how
to do the con scene,

870
00:41:34,714 --> 00:41:37,054
-so I can go home now, can I?
-[laughs]

871
00:41:37,154 --> 00:41:39,094
[John Meillon] They're
marvellous people to work with

872
00:41:39,194 --> 00:41:41,414
and it's their first film, and
it doesn't make any difference

873
00:41:41,514 --> 00:41:43,214
because the way
they're going about it,

874
00:41:43,314 --> 00:41:45,174
it could've been
their 25th film.

875
00:41:45,274 --> 00:41:47,714
Rehearsal and action!

876
00:41:50,435 --> 00:41:52,735
[John Meillon] I think I can
speak on behalf of everybody -

877
00:41:52,835 --> 00:41:55,375
nobody has ever been
treated on a picture

878
00:41:55,475 --> 00:41:59,775
the way that Mr Cornell
has treated us as a producer.

879
00:41:59,875 --> 00:42:04,375
And everybody's...
it's a very big happy unit,

880
00:42:04,475 --> 00:42:06,775
and that's a tremendous thing
for a film.

881
00:42:06,875 --> 00:42:08,095
Tremendous thing.

882
00:42:08,195 --> 00:42:10,655
Hello, Charlie. Scratch?

883
00:42:10,755 --> 00:42:13,935
John Cornell is a doll.
He's wonderful.

884
00:42:14,035 --> 00:42:15,975
He's just been so kind
to everyone,

885
00:42:16,075 --> 00:42:18,075
really taken great care of us.

886
00:42:19,595 --> 00:42:21,815
He's great at, you know,
keeping the spirit together

887
00:42:21,915 --> 00:42:24,855
between everyone and just
really looking after us all.

888
00:42:24,955 --> 00:42:26,956
He's been terrific.

889
00:42:27,476 --> 00:42:30,096
Just behind you, near where
that... just over your head.

890
00:42:30,196 --> 00:42:32,496
[crew member]
Towards me, Brownie. Big one.

891
00:42:32,596 --> 00:42:34,736
[Linda] I think
Australian crews are wonderful.

892
00:42:34,836 --> 00:42:38,776
I've had a great time.
They're really a real family.

893
00:42:38,876 --> 00:42:41,976
And I think... sometimes
when I'm off the set,

894
00:42:42,076 --> 00:42:45,576
I'll just sit back and watch
them and really admire them.

895
00:42:45,676 --> 00:42:47,456
I mean,
they work really, really hard.

896
00:42:47,556 --> 00:42:48,816
I was going to say "bloody".

897
00:42:48,916 --> 00:42:51,676
I'm really turning
Australian now! [laughs]

898
00:42:54,396 --> 00:42:56,496
Well, one can only assume
that somewhere up there,

899
00:42:56,596 --> 00:42:58,136
you know, sort of
10 feet in the air,

900
00:42:58,236 --> 00:42:59,776
we'll get a good
opening composition.

901
00:42:59,876 --> 00:43:01,416
[Russell] As the director
of photography,

902
00:43:01,516 --> 00:43:03,776
or DOP, as we call it
out here... [chuckles]

903
00:43:03,876 --> 00:43:05,897
-16 on the line.
-16 on the line?

904
00:43:05,997 --> 00:43:08,937
-[Peter speaks indistinctly]
-No, I don't, actually.

905
00:43:09,037 --> 00:43:11,857
My prime role
is lighting the set

906
00:43:11,957 --> 00:43:14,617
with the help of the gaffer
and his assistant

907
00:43:14,717 --> 00:43:16,497
and the rest of the crew.

908
00:43:16,597 --> 00:43:19,577
But the script
determines everything.

909
00:43:19,677 --> 00:43:23,417
And the production team,
particularly from the director,

910
00:43:23,517 --> 00:43:27,137
they determine how it's going
to go together obviously

911
00:43:27,237 --> 00:43:29,257
and what their thoughts are
about how to make it work

912
00:43:29,357 --> 00:43:30,737
and keep bubbling along.

913
00:43:30,837 --> 00:43:32,217
We get the sense
that we're too close.

914
00:43:32,317 --> 00:43:33,497
Well, it will be--

915
00:43:33,597 --> 00:43:35,217
I know when we're down here,
you want them to be...

916
00:43:35,317 --> 00:43:36,697
-Righto. Yep.
-Understand what I'm saying?

917
00:43:36,797 --> 00:43:37,937
Sure, sure.

918
00:43:38,037 --> 00:43:40,937
It's your job to keep
everybody happy, really.

919
00:43:41,037 --> 00:43:42,897
It's part of the job
to keep everybody happy.

920
00:43:42,997 --> 00:43:45,898
[Peter] Can we... can somebody
grab us a cushion, PJ?

921
00:43:45,998 --> 00:43:47,998
[crew member] Yep.

922
00:43:48,838 --> 00:43:52,218
[Ray] Film crews have got to
get on like a house on fire,

923
00:43:52,318 --> 00:43:54,458
and we all did on that film

924
00:43:54,558 --> 00:43:57,138
because we're all
like-minded, I guess.

925
00:43:57,238 --> 00:43:59,798
So it was
a very enjoyable shoot.

926
00:44:02,598 --> 00:44:04,738
Grace Walker was
our production designer

927
00:44:04,838 --> 00:44:08,598
and he found
a rubber crocodile somewhere.

928
00:44:10,678 --> 00:44:13,458
[machinery whirring]

929
00:44:13,558 --> 00:44:15,218
We used that
for a lot of scenes -

930
00:44:15,318 --> 00:44:17,438
in the attack scene, obviously.

931
00:44:22,559 --> 00:44:25,019
Didn't have sharp teeth
or anything. [chuckles]

932
00:44:25,119 --> 00:44:27,959
-How big, roughly?
-About three foot.

933
00:44:28,799 --> 00:44:29,979
Keep going?

934
00:44:30,079 --> 00:44:31,579
Sure will - we can
sort of lift it over I think.

935
00:44:31,679 --> 00:44:33,139
-Wouldn't you say?
-Yeah.

936
00:44:33,239 --> 00:44:36,099
[Peter] And he comes in here
and grabs it now.

937
00:44:36,199 --> 00:44:37,699
We'll probably have to
be drifting it back

938
00:44:37,799 --> 00:44:38,939
as it goes or something.

939
00:44:39,039 --> 00:44:40,579
-Yeah.
-We've still got her face...

940
00:44:40,679 --> 00:44:42,779
[Russell] Film crews are the
same the world over I've found.

941
00:44:42,879 --> 00:44:44,499
Aspirations are the same

942
00:44:44,599 --> 00:44:47,619
and we get on with
the job at hand.

943
00:44:47,719 --> 00:44:49,619
It's just a whole
conglomeration of people

944
00:44:49,719 --> 00:44:51,499
working together,
which is what I loved.

945
00:44:51,599 --> 00:44:54,519
[crew member]
Standby... and action.

946
00:44:57,639 --> 00:44:58,859
[gasping]

947
00:44:58,959 --> 00:45:01,100
[Peter] Russell had
at that time, you know,

948
00:45:01,200 --> 00:45:03,220
such a history in movies,

949
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,700
and to have this sort of
television director

950
00:45:05,800 --> 00:45:07,380
working with him, you know,

951
00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,460
it was not what he was
accustomed to, really.

952
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,340
So if we're shooting
that way in sort of--

953
00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:12,980
Well, there's no reason,
by the way,

954
00:45:13,080 --> 00:45:14,980
that she shouldn't appear
behind the rocks and we...

955
00:45:15,080 --> 00:45:17,300
like, that she doesn't appear
behind the rocks there.

956
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:19,100
Oh, no, we have the rocks
in the foreground.

957
00:45:19,200 --> 00:45:23,060
We first met up obviously
as the storyboard

958
00:45:23,160 --> 00:45:24,500
was being created

959
00:45:24,600 --> 00:45:27,100
and we talked about
how simple I wanted it to be.

960
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,060
And then he brought magic
to the screen

961
00:45:29,160 --> 00:45:32,860
with this simplicity of shots
that I wanted

962
00:45:32,960 --> 00:45:35,180
that were absolutely magical
on the screen

963
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:37,180
because he's the best.

964
00:45:37,280 --> 00:45:40,141
[laidback instrumental
music plays]

965
00:45:40,241 --> 00:45:42,481
[geese honking]

966
00:45:46,281 --> 00:45:48,281
[birds screeching]

967
00:45:54,841 --> 00:45:56,841
[buffalo grunts]

968
00:46:03,401 --> 00:46:06,421
[Delvene] Russell Boyd -
such an artist

969
00:46:06,521 --> 00:46:09,301
when it comes to cinematography

970
00:46:09,401 --> 00:46:13,181
that even though it was
only a comedy film,

971
00:46:13,281 --> 00:46:17,761
it had this huge
cinematic magnificence.

972
00:46:24,402 --> 00:46:26,342
The first time I saw the rushes

973
00:46:26,442 --> 00:46:29,502
was when Mick's talking about
being attacked by the crocodile

974
00:46:29,602 --> 00:46:31,262
when he finds his dinghy.

975
00:46:31,362 --> 00:46:32,862
Now you can see where
he sunk his teeth in.

976
00:46:32,962 --> 00:46:35,342
And it was a side of Paul
I hadn't seen before, really,

977
00:46:35,442 --> 00:46:38,942
when he was low key
and understated

978
00:46:39,042 --> 00:46:40,502
and slightly menacing.

979
00:46:40,602 --> 00:46:43,022
Yeah, see,
a croc will grab you,

980
00:46:43,122 --> 00:46:44,942
take you down
to the bottom of the water

981
00:46:45,042 --> 00:46:46,742
and roll you over and over
and over

982
00:46:46,842 --> 00:46:48,862
until you stop kicking.

983
00:46:48,962 --> 00:46:52,102
Then he'll take you away
to his meat safe somewhere.

984
00:46:52,202 --> 00:46:54,542
A rock ledge, log,

985
00:46:54,642 --> 00:46:57,503
down under the water,
and jam you under it...

986
00:46:57,603 --> 00:46:59,143
And John said,
"What do you think, Delly?"

987
00:46:59,243 --> 00:47:00,863
And I said,
"I think it's incredible."

988
00:47:00,963 --> 00:47:03,263
This is the side of Paul
that we haven't seen.

989
00:47:03,363 --> 00:47:06,023
So he now becomes Mick Dundee.

990
00:47:06,123 --> 00:47:09,063
Yeah, anyway, he wasn't happy
with the grip he had on me,

991
00:47:09,163 --> 00:47:10,743
so he let go
to get a better one,

992
00:47:10,843 --> 00:47:12,843
and I talked him out of it.

993
00:47:14,043 --> 00:47:16,903
[Delvene] Mick was wise,

994
00:47:17,003 --> 00:47:21,503
he was solitary, self-reliant,

995
00:47:21,603 --> 00:47:26,163
smart, not egotistical...

996
00:47:28,163 --> 00:47:30,163
..honourable...

997
00:47:31,083 --> 00:47:34,303
..and appealing
to men and women.

998
00:47:34,403 --> 00:47:36,704
And so I think
we found our hero.

999
00:47:36,804 --> 00:47:38,664
More tucker here
than you could poke a stick at.

1000
00:47:38,764 --> 00:47:40,184
Tucker?

1001
00:47:40,284 --> 00:47:41,824
Food. You hungry?

1002
00:47:41,924 --> 00:47:43,704
[Delvene] And hugely funny.

1003
00:47:43,804 --> 00:47:45,504
Did I forget to say funny?

1004
00:47:45,604 --> 00:47:47,704
[laughs]

1005
00:47:47,804 --> 00:47:51,104
How do you like your goanna?
Medium? Well-done?

1006
00:47:51,204 --> 00:47:53,224
You don't really
expect me to eat that?

1007
00:47:53,324 --> 00:47:55,384
Yeah, it's great.
Here, try some of those yams.

1008
00:47:55,484 --> 00:47:57,184
[Sue] What about you?
Aren't you having any?

1009
00:47:57,284 --> 00:47:59,904
You can live on it...

1010
00:48:00,004 --> 00:48:01,784
but it tastes like shit.

1011
00:48:01,884 --> 00:48:03,964
[chuckling] Oh...

1012
00:48:05,244 --> 00:48:09,744
Paul Hogan is, uh...
just great to work with.

1013
00:48:09,844 --> 00:48:11,504
Knocking around with
the flying nun, mate.

1014
00:48:11,604 --> 00:48:13,585
[laughter]

1015
00:48:13,685 --> 00:48:14,905
Good hat.

1016
00:48:15,005 --> 00:48:18,505
[Linda] He's really
a generous actor.

1017
00:48:18,605 --> 00:48:20,465
He's a really good actor.

1018
00:48:20,565 --> 00:48:21,865
And I didn't know
anything about him

1019
00:48:21,965 --> 00:48:23,225
when I came over here.

1020
00:48:23,325 --> 00:48:25,865
I knew him from the commercial,
vaguely. You know?

1021
00:48:25,965 --> 00:48:30,145
That's all I knew. So I was
just pleasantly surprised.

1022
00:48:30,245 --> 00:48:32,785
Or, you know,
I just thought he was terrific.

1023
00:48:32,885 --> 00:48:34,885
Breaker, breaker, breaker.

1024
00:48:36,445 --> 00:48:39,345
The runaway shagger here.
[chuckles]

1025
00:48:39,445 --> 00:48:42,465
[Peter] She saw now
that he was funny

1026
00:48:42,565 --> 00:48:44,545
and fell in love. [chuckles]

1027
00:48:44,645 --> 00:48:45,985
Eventually.

1028
00:48:46,085 --> 00:48:49,425
So, really, the story
of the movie

1029
00:48:49,525 --> 00:48:51,965
is really the story
of their lives.

1030
00:48:54,846 --> 00:48:58,026
[Delvene] It was
a romantic story, I think,

1031
00:48:58,126 --> 00:49:00,146
that when we shot
chronologically,

1032
00:49:00,246 --> 00:49:02,746
when they kissed
at the billabong,

1033
00:49:02,846 --> 00:49:04,846
that was their first kiss.

1034
00:49:09,246 --> 00:49:11,186
I thought that was beautiful
the way he hesitated

1035
00:49:11,286 --> 00:49:13,946
before he went in
and kissed her.

1036
00:49:14,046 --> 00:49:16,846
I think there was
great truth in that.

1037
00:49:28,126 --> 00:49:31,387
And Linda was concerned
because Paul was married.

1038
00:49:31,487 --> 00:49:33,487
But what can you do?

1039
00:49:34,567 --> 00:49:39,067
And I just tried to be
her confidante obviously,

1040
00:49:39,167 --> 00:49:42,427
but also make her feel like
you have to follow your heart.

1041
00:49:42,527 --> 00:49:44,147
And you do.

1042
00:49:44,247 --> 00:49:46,687
You have to follow your heart.
And they did.

1043
00:49:51,887 --> 00:49:55,367
It was quite beautiful to see
him find that kind of love.

1044
00:49:59,927 --> 00:50:02,627
[Linda] We went out at sunset
and we had the day off, so...

1045
00:50:02,727 --> 00:50:04,867
It was so incredible -
it was like a dream,

1046
00:50:04,967 --> 00:50:08,427
where you just didn't know
this place could exist.

1047
00:50:08,527 --> 00:50:10,668
So beautiful.

1048
00:50:10,768 --> 00:50:15,708
We were able to film
on Aboriginal land.

1049
00:50:15,808 --> 00:50:19,048
[Indigenous music plays]

1050
00:50:22,608 --> 00:50:26,148
It was such a special,
amazing place.

1051
00:50:26,248 --> 00:50:30,268
It was such a privilege
to be able to be there

1052
00:50:30,368 --> 00:50:31,908
and to film there.

1053
00:50:32,008 --> 00:50:34,008
[music continues]

1054
00:50:36,048 --> 00:50:39,768
[men singing
in Indigenous language]

1055
00:50:41,128 --> 00:50:42,828
We're shooting
corroboree tonight

1056
00:50:42,928 --> 00:50:45,748
and these boys here,
you know, like local people

1057
00:50:45,848 --> 00:50:52,429
and especially old man there,
he on the Kakadu National Park

1058
00:50:52,529 --> 00:50:55,309
and this is his songs.

1059
00:50:55,409 --> 00:50:57,909
So I join in
and dance with them.

1060
00:50:58,009 --> 00:51:00,009
[Indigenous music continues]

1061
00:51:05,809 --> 00:51:07,809
[music ends]

1062
00:51:09,169 --> 00:51:14,789
Well, yes, this is part of
where Paul and I and the girl,

1063
00:51:14,889 --> 00:51:17,029
you know, Mick and Sue,

1064
00:51:17,129 --> 00:51:20,909
where I meet them
and talk to them and I say,

1065
00:51:21,009 --> 00:51:25,029
"I'm on my way to corroboree
over at the Jabba." You know?

1066
00:51:25,129 --> 00:51:27,230
-That what you were doing?
-That's what I was doing.

1067
00:51:27,330 --> 00:51:29,330
[both chuckle]

1068
00:51:29,890 --> 00:51:34,990
Well, Neville, he's a tribal
and father was a tribal

1069
00:51:35,090 --> 00:51:37,670
and... but he's a city boy.

1070
00:51:37,770 --> 00:51:42,310
He there, you know...
[laughs] Yeah.

1071
00:51:42,410 --> 00:51:44,750
-[interviewer] Not like you.
-Well, something like me, yeah.

1072
00:51:44,850 --> 00:51:46,590
[both laugh]

1073
00:51:46,690 --> 00:51:48,910
[David]
Well, I like dancing corroboree

1074
00:51:49,010 --> 00:51:52,510
and, you know, when I come
back home, go to bush,

1075
00:51:52,610 --> 00:51:55,430
make corroboree and dance,
have a big campfire,

1076
00:51:55,530 --> 00:51:56,750
I enjoy it.

1077
00:51:56,850 --> 00:51:58,990
It's different from the city
in disco, eh?

1078
00:51:59,090 --> 00:52:00,670
-What do you reckon?
-John Travolta.

1079
00:52:00,770 --> 00:52:02,770
Yeah, right.

1080
00:52:03,090 --> 00:52:06,031
-[David laughs]
-Seen him in the white suit.

1081
00:52:06,131 --> 00:52:07,751
Yeah, right.

1082
00:52:07,851 --> 00:52:09,751
Well, that's my uniform there,
look.

1083
00:52:09,851 --> 00:52:12,211
[Paul] Oh, yeah.
Studio 54 in New York.

1084
00:52:14,051 --> 00:52:18,311
Paul Hogan is really character.

1085
00:52:18,411 --> 00:52:22,711
He's really sort of into it,
blackfellas.

1086
00:52:22,811 --> 00:52:26,511
He came to see
and meet blackfellas there,

1087
00:52:26,611 --> 00:52:28,391
my mob,

1088
00:52:28,491 --> 00:52:31,351
and he talked to them,
"Can we make this film?"

1089
00:52:31,451 --> 00:52:34,051
And we done it
and everyone agreed...

1090
00:52:35,931 --> 00:52:37,711
"..David Gulpilil
got to be here."

1091
00:52:37,811 --> 00:52:41,071
And said, "Yes, come up,"
they reckon. "Yes. Good."

1092
00:52:41,171 --> 00:52:46,992
And fitted to me
and to other Aboriginal people

1093
00:52:47,092 --> 00:52:50,232
where we was dancing
and singing.

1094
00:52:50,332 --> 00:52:53,632
Yeah, that was real stuff.

1095
00:52:53,732 --> 00:52:57,012
[Indigenous singing

1096
00:53:41,133 --> 00:53:46,713
[in English] With my full,
initiated painting,

1097
00:53:46,813 --> 00:53:48,513
dancing.

1098
00:53:48,613 --> 00:53:51,173
[Indigenous music continues]

1099
00:53:58,813 --> 00:54:03,274
Crocodile Dundee is a good film
but it's too short for me.

1100
00:54:03,374 --> 00:54:07,714
Mark it. 161, take two
cameras A and B.

1101
00:54:07,814 --> 00:54:10,954
Very good, thank you.
Terrific.

1102
00:54:11,054 --> 00:54:13,494
It's the candid camera creepos.

1103
00:54:15,094 --> 00:54:17,994
Wanna see what's inside
my mouth, Jonno?

1104
00:54:18,094 --> 00:54:20,114
[Linda chuckles]

1105
00:54:20,214 --> 00:54:22,454
Just 32 perfect teeth.

1106
00:54:23,214 --> 00:54:25,034
[Peter] It was
a tight schedule.

1107
00:54:25,134 --> 00:54:27,554
We went from the outback
to New York

1108
00:54:27,654 --> 00:54:31,034
and we were filming basically
the next day

1109
00:54:31,134 --> 00:54:33,314
after we got off the flight
in New York.

1110
00:54:33,414 --> 00:54:36,134
[traffic blaring]

1111
00:54:38,934 --> 00:54:40,935
[siren wailing]

1112
00:54:45,255 --> 00:54:47,315
[Linda] New York
was much more challenging

1113
00:54:47,415 --> 00:54:49,395
to shoot than the outback.

1114
00:54:49,495 --> 00:54:52,675
The outback was perfect.
It was quiet and isolated.

1115
00:54:52,775 --> 00:54:55,795
And suddenly there were,
you know,

1116
00:54:55,895 --> 00:54:57,715
people everywhere and extras,

1117
00:54:57,815 --> 00:55:00,675
and after work everybody would
go off and do their own thing,

1118
00:55:00,775 --> 00:55:02,475
and it was New York City -
what the heck?

1119
00:55:02,575 --> 00:55:06,475
And so it was great to be back,

1120
00:55:06,575 --> 00:55:08,435
but it was also
a little more challenging.

1121
00:55:08,535 --> 00:55:09,795
[man] Action, Paul.

1122
00:55:09,895 --> 00:55:11,675
[Linda] You had to really,
like, double down

1123
00:55:11,775 --> 00:55:14,875
to focus more because
there were so many distractions

1124
00:55:14,975 --> 00:55:16,975
going on around us.

1125
00:55:17,615 --> 00:55:19,396
[Peter] The sound guys
who were working

1126
00:55:19,496 --> 00:55:21,396
in the silence of the outback

1127
00:55:21,496 --> 00:55:23,716
were suddenly on Fifth Avenue

1128
00:55:23,816 --> 00:55:28,476
with this extraordinary
cacophony of noise.

1129
00:55:28,576 --> 00:55:31,036
All the directions
were shouted,

1130
00:55:31,136 --> 00:55:33,436
so everybody
had to talk louder.

1131
00:55:33,536 --> 00:55:35,276
471, take three!

1132
00:55:35,376 --> 00:55:38,316
Got to be walking
as I set you up in the back.

1133
00:55:38,416 --> 00:55:39,836
If you're not with the film,

1134
00:55:39,936 --> 00:55:41,516
please do not stop
and hang out.

1135
00:55:41,616 --> 00:55:44,696
We're throwing the beans,
and action!

1136
00:55:51,416 --> 00:55:53,356
[Paul] Well, a lot of
what I did with him

1137
00:55:53,456 --> 00:55:56,196
when I invented him
was I made him

1138
00:55:56,296 --> 00:56:00,077
what I'd found that Americans
thought about Australians.

1139
00:56:00,177 --> 00:56:01,637
This is the image they have,

1140
00:56:01,737 --> 00:56:04,397
and it's colourful,
about Australia, so that was...

1141
00:56:04,497 --> 00:56:06,557
They sort of were responsible

1142
00:56:06,657 --> 00:56:09,137
for making him
like he was, yeah.

1143
00:56:10,457 --> 00:56:12,697
Mick Dundee's room, please.

1144
00:56:13,297 --> 00:56:15,317
[Linda] I really, really
want to give Norma -

1145
00:56:15,417 --> 00:56:17,517
the late, beautiful,
wonderful Norma Moriceau -

1146
00:56:17,617 --> 00:56:19,277
a big shoutout

1147
00:56:19,377 --> 00:56:24,317
because, first of all, I think
that she gave that movie

1148
00:56:24,417 --> 00:56:26,457
a touch of cool.

1149
00:56:27,977 --> 00:56:31,477
I mean, I can't imagine
Mick Dundee without that hat.

1150
00:56:31,577 --> 00:56:32,997
That's iconic.

1151
00:56:33,097 --> 00:56:36,118
And the lizard-skin jacket,

1152
00:56:36,218 --> 00:56:39,258
I mean, that was
a superhero costume.

1153
00:56:40,858 --> 00:56:43,758
The red dress also is iconic.

1154
00:56:43,858 --> 00:56:46,358
I was freaked out about the
red dress because I was like,

1155
00:56:46,458 --> 00:56:49,518
"Oh, no, my character
would not wear this dress.

1156
00:56:49,618 --> 00:56:51,038
"I'm so sorry.

1157
00:56:51,138 --> 00:56:54,198
"She's supposed to be wealthy
and raised in New York City."

1158
00:56:54,298 --> 00:56:58,438
And Norma and I went shopping
and we picked out a black...

1159
00:56:58,538 --> 00:57:01,258
I can remember - it was
a black Norma Kamali dress.

1160
00:57:02,138 --> 00:57:04,358
It was form fitting
but it was very elegant.

1161
00:57:04,458 --> 00:57:07,078
And we came and showed it
to John and Paul

1162
00:57:07,178 --> 00:57:09,178
and they were like...

1163
00:57:10,098 --> 00:57:11,398
[laughs]

1164
00:57:11,498 --> 00:57:13,518
We were like,
"You don't like it?"

1165
00:57:13,618 --> 00:57:17,159
And Norma said, "They told me
it has to be much sexier."

1166
00:57:17,259 --> 00:57:19,839
And she's like,
"Okay, I'll give you sexy."

1167
00:57:19,939 --> 00:57:24,079
She used to say, "Over the top
is the only place to be."

1168
00:57:24,179 --> 00:57:26,039
[chuckles]

1169
00:57:26,139 --> 00:57:28,559
Incidentally, miss, if you're
looking for Crocodile Mick,

1170
00:57:28,659 --> 00:57:30,659
he's gone walkabout.

1171
00:57:31,099 --> 00:57:32,879
I don't suppose you know where?

1172
00:57:32,979 --> 00:57:35,239
Yeah, he's headed for the
subway, two blocks down.

1173
00:57:35,339 --> 00:57:37,279
You better hurry.

1174
00:57:37,379 --> 00:57:39,039
Mind this for me.

1175
00:57:39,139 --> 00:57:45,679
The composer tends to
be somebody who sees a film

1176
00:57:45,779 --> 00:57:49,199
more often than
just about anybody else.

1177
00:57:49,299 --> 00:57:53,560
I start off by,
I suppose, thinking,

1178
00:57:53,660 --> 00:57:55,920
"What does this film need?"

1179
00:57:56,020 --> 00:58:00,560
[edgy rhythmic

1180
00:58:00,660 --> 00:58:02,200

[mimics edgy rhythm]

1182
00:58:05,220 --> 00:58:07,960
There's no music,
there's just rhythm.

1183
00:58:08,060 --> 00:58:11,200
And it all developed
from there.

[film score continues]

1185
00:58:16,220 --> 00:58:20,480
The subway, and you
kind of get swept through

1186
00:58:20,580 --> 00:58:24,320
as she's running,
taking her shoes off.

1187
00:58:24,420 --> 00:58:29,800
And just that contrast
between the urgency

1188
00:58:29,900 --> 00:58:32,121
that she's showing...

[film score continues]

1190
00:58:34,581 --> 00:58:42,281
..and Mick's laconic kind of,
"I'm going off to see America."

1191
00:58:42,381 --> 00:58:46,141
It's that kind of juxtaposition
that makes that work.

1192
00:58:47,141 --> 00:58:49,841
Tell him I love him.

1193
00:58:49,941 --> 00:58:51,941
I love you!

1194
00:58:52,861 --> 00:58:54,841
She loves me.

1195
00:58:54,941 --> 00:58:59,561
I thought
if I could crack that,

1196
00:58:59,661 --> 00:59:05,041
then I could confidently launch
into the rest of the film.

1197

[wondrous film score plays]

1198
00:59:06,701 --> 00:59:09,001
It felt to me
in Crocodile Dundee

1199
00:59:09,101 --> 00:59:14,242
as if I had to tell the story
as well as they had told it.

1200
00:59:14,342 --> 00:59:16,342
And I didn't stuff it up.

1201
00:59:17,902 --> 00:59:19,322
You got a light, buddy?

1202
00:59:19,422 --> 00:59:21,602
Yeah, sure, kid.

1203
00:59:21,702 --> 00:59:23,402
There you go.

1204
00:59:23,502 --> 00:59:25,122
And your wallet.

1205
00:59:25,222 --> 00:59:26,442
[edgy film score]

1206
00:59:26,542 --> 00:59:29,002
Mick, give him your wallet.

1207
00:59:29,102 --> 00:59:30,322
What for?

1208
00:59:30,422 --> 00:59:32,082
He's got a knife.

1209
00:59:32,182 --> 00:59:34,242
[laughs]

1210
00:59:34,342 --> 00:59:35,922
That's not a knife.

1211
00:59:36,022 --> 00:59:38,022
[edgy score continues]

1212
00:59:38,702 --> 00:59:40,702
That's a knife.

1213
00:59:41,262 --> 00:59:43,262
-[knife clatters]
-[fabric rips]

1214
00:59:44,382 --> 00:59:46,122
[Delvene] "That's not a knife."

1215
00:59:46,222 --> 00:59:47,922
That's a great story, actually.

1216
00:59:48,022 --> 00:59:50,723
We edited Crocodile Dundee

1217
00:59:50,823 --> 00:59:55,243
and John was watching
the rushes with the editor

1218
00:59:55,343 --> 00:59:57,403
trying to piece that together

1219
00:59:57,503 --> 00:59:59,763
and they had
three or four takes.

1220
00:59:59,863 --> 01:00:02,323
It was like,
"No, no, there's another take.

1221
01:00:02,423 --> 01:00:05,443
"There's another take.
There's a better take."

1222
01:00:05,543 --> 01:00:07,283
And we couldn't find it.

1223
01:00:07,383 --> 01:00:10,163
And he knew that it was
the take that Paul had done

1224
01:00:10,263 --> 01:00:12,403
after Peter Faiman
had said, "Cut."

1225
01:00:12,503 --> 01:00:14,643
And Paul kept playing around

1226
01:00:14,743 --> 01:00:17,083
with this young kid
who was the mugger

1227
01:00:17,183 --> 01:00:19,283
and he had this glint
in his eye,

1228
01:00:19,383 --> 01:00:21,683
and John had recognised that.

1229
01:00:21,783 --> 01:00:24,443
And it was like that
because it was after...

1230
01:00:24,543 --> 01:00:26,083
the pressure was off
of filming.

1231
01:00:26,183 --> 01:00:27,484
Like, "Cut." You know?

1232
01:00:27,584 --> 01:00:29,404
"Okay, I want
to have a bit of a play."

1233
01:00:29,504 --> 01:00:32,164
And it was in
the editing room bin

1234
01:00:32,264 --> 01:00:36,044
and John fished it out
and put that scene in the film,

1235
01:00:36,144 --> 01:00:38,444
and that is the scene
of the film.

1236
01:00:38,544 --> 01:00:40,244
So I love that story -

1237
01:00:40,344 --> 01:00:43,084
it was that John knew
what Hoges had delivered

1238
01:00:43,184 --> 01:00:45,444
as Mick Dundee
in that moment

1239
01:00:45,544 --> 01:00:48,044
and knew that it was
there somewhere

1240
01:00:48,144 --> 01:00:51,304
and was intent on putting it in
because that was the take.

1241
01:00:56,144 --> 01:00:58,084
[reporter] Hogan
and John Cornell set out

1242
01:00:58,184 --> 01:01:00,524
to make a popular
entertaining movie,

1243
01:01:00,624 --> 01:01:03,124
and at the crowded premiere
in Sydney this week,

1244
01:01:03,224 --> 01:01:04,844
there was
an irresistible feeling

1245
01:01:04,944 --> 01:01:06,945
of confidence in the air.

1246
01:01:08,745 --> 01:01:11,085
Cornell believes
he's backed a winner.

1247
01:01:11,185 --> 01:01:13,205
Were you so confident
that Crocodile Dundee

1248
01:01:13,305 --> 01:01:15,285
was going to work?

1249
01:01:15,385 --> 01:01:18,605
Um... well, they say films
are a gamble,

1250
01:01:18,705 --> 01:01:20,205
but in this case
I knew the horse

1251
01:01:20,305 --> 01:01:22,085
and the horse talks to me.

1252
01:01:22,185 --> 01:01:25,765
And, uh... I've got
great faith in Hogan,

1253
01:01:25,865 --> 01:01:28,285
always have had and probably
always will have.

1254
01:01:28,385 --> 01:01:31,045
The guy's not a hero.
He's a human.

1255
01:01:31,145 --> 01:01:32,765
Well, he's just a larrikin.

1256
01:01:32,865 --> 01:01:34,605
But, you know,
it's a good fun film.

1257
01:01:34,705 --> 01:01:36,325
Where did he come from?

1258
01:01:36,425 --> 01:01:39,105
Out of there and out of
the Northern Territory.

1259
01:01:46,426 --> 01:01:47,966
As soon as it got
released in Australia,

1260
01:01:48,066 --> 01:01:49,886
it was just through the roof.

1261
01:01:49,986 --> 01:01:53,766
Hoyts were exhibiting,
so we were getting the numbers

1262
01:01:53,866 --> 01:01:56,626
and the numbers
were unprecedented.

1263
01:02:01,866 --> 01:02:05,246
Once we got through
the first three weeks,

1264
01:02:05,346 --> 01:02:06,966
I didn't worry anymore.

1265
01:02:07,066 --> 01:02:08,606
We knew the mums and dads
were safe.

1266
01:02:08,706 --> 01:02:10,486
The people who invested
in Crocodile Dundee

1267
01:02:10,586 --> 01:02:12,806
will get four or five
or six times their money back.

1268
01:02:12,906 --> 01:02:14,526
They really did care
about those people

1269
01:02:14,626 --> 01:02:16,246
who put their
$5,000 and $10,000 in.

1270
01:02:16,346 --> 01:02:18,346
That was serious
investment for them.

1271
01:02:22,627 --> 01:02:24,627
Here's to Crocodile Dundee!

1272
01:02:25,827 --> 01:02:29,027
We released the film,
and it was just blockbuster.

1273
01:02:29,827 --> 01:02:33,807
Biggest Australian movie,
but by a long stretch.

1274
01:02:33,907 --> 01:02:37,827
We had a dynamite movie.
Now what do we do with it?

1275
01:02:38,347 --> 01:02:41,167
The ultimate test
is to sell it in America.

1276
01:02:41,267 --> 01:02:44,007
US was the biggest market.

1277
01:02:44,107 --> 01:02:46,367
In our case,
I said they can't take...

1278
01:02:46,467 --> 01:02:50,287
no one takes the movie anywhere
until Australia releases,

1279
01:02:50,387 --> 01:02:53,047
because I know
it's going to be a big hit

1280
01:02:53,147 --> 01:02:55,227
and then the Americans
will come chase us.

1281
01:02:55,867 --> 01:02:58,207
[Delvene] So John didn't want
to do any presales

1282
01:02:58,307 --> 01:03:02,208
because he had
so much faith in that film

1283
01:03:02,308 --> 01:03:04,008
and self-belief

1284
01:03:04,108 --> 01:03:08,568
that he took it to America
under his arm.

1285
01:03:08,668 --> 01:03:12,848
First studio, 20th Century Fox,
knocked it back.

1286
01:03:12,948 --> 01:03:14,608
The guy barely watched it.

1287
01:03:14,708 --> 01:03:19,528
And finally
he got to Paramount,

1288
01:03:19,628 --> 01:03:24,088
and he went there because
he loved their gates. [laughs]

1289
01:03:24,188 --> 01:03:26,328
In through the big fancy gates

1290
01:03:26,428 --> 01:03:28,428
and into Barry London's office.

1291
01:03:31,228 --> 01:03:33,408
The first meeting I had
with John

1292
01:03:33,508 --> 01:03:36,848
was at the studio right after
I'd seen Crocodile Dundee

1293
01:03:36,948 --> 01:03:38,928
and the first words that
I remember speaking to him

1294
01:03:39,028 --> 01:03:40,489
was, "I love your movie."

1295
01:03:40,589 --> 01:03:42,369
Which is the line
that you want to hear

1296
01:03:42,469 --> 01:03:45,609
from a distributor,

1297
01:03:45,709 --> 01:03:48,329
but they weren't quite sure
how it was going to go.

1298
01:03:48,429 --> 01:03:51,049
And so John said, "Well,
I've had it audience tested."

1299
01:03:51,149 --> 01:03:54,609
If you test a film and
the audience says it's good,

1300
01:03:54,709 --> 01:03:56,289
the film's a failure.

1301
01:03:56,389 --> 01:03:58,049
The audience,
when you test a film,

1302
01:03:58,149 --> 01:04:00,409
have to say,
"It is absolutely fantastic,

1303
01:04:00,509 --> 01:04:01,969
"the best thing
I've ever seen."

1304
01:04:02,069 --> 01:04:03,329
Then you've got success.

1305
01:04:03,429 --> 01:04:06,089
We had it researched
in America.

1306
01:04:06,189 --> 01:04:07,929
Most producers don't do this,

1307
01:04:08,029 --> 01:04:10,529
but I thought it might be
a plus for the selling of it.

1308
01:04:10,629 --> 01:04:12,609
So instead of having
them research it,

1309
01:04:12,709 --> 01:04:15,529
I paid for the research myself
this week.

1310
01:04:15,629 --> 01:04:17,809
And I won't bore you with
the details about what happens,

1311
01:04:17,909 --> 01:04:23,090
but we got a 59
on this complicated input

1312
01:04:23,190 --> 01:04:27,810
of showing it to a couple of
thousand people in audience.

1313
01:04:27,910 --> 01:04:29,970
The average is a 43.

1314
01:04:30,070 --> 01:04:32,970
That 59 has meant people like,
well, Frank Mancuso,

1315
01:04:33,070 --> 01:04:34,650
the president
of Paramount Pictures,

1316
01:04:34,750 --> 01:04:36,690
got on the phone to the guy
who'd done the research

1317
01:04:36,790 --> 01:04:39,850
and said, "Is this correct that
this movie cracked the 59?"

1318
01:04:39,950 --> 01:04:44,250
He knew that, you know, we eat
the same food as Americans,

1319
01:04:44,350 --> 01:04:46,810
we watch the same movies,
we drive the same cars,

1320
01:04:46,910 --> 01:04:50,010
listen to the same music,
watch the same TV shows.

1321
01:04:50,110 --> 01:04:53,370
They're our brothers,
so they're going to get it.

1322
01:04:53,470 --> 01:04:56,290
All of a sudden, Paramount are
all bright eyed and bushy tail.

1323
01:04:56,390 --> 01:04:58,651
"We've done this testing..."
"This looks pretty good!"

1324
01:04:58,751 --> 01:05:01,211
And it was right up there
with like Top Gun,

1325
01:05:01,311 --> 01:05:02,811
and they were
surprised by that.

1326
01:05:02,911 --> 01:05:04,531
And, "Where did you
get it tested?"

1327
01:05:04,631 --> 01:05:06,731
"Well, I went to the same
company that you use."

1328
01:05:06,831 --> 01:05:08,491
[giggles]

1329
01:05:08,591 --> 01:05:11,531
And we all kind of looked
at each other and said,

1330
01:05:11,631 --> 01:05:15,211
"Wow! This is really good
stuff, really good stuff."

1331
01:05:15,311 --> 01:05:17,011
And from that moment on,

1332
01:05:17,111 --> 01:05:20,931
our enthusiasm, that kind of
enthusiasm was apparent

1333
01:05:21,031 --> 01:05:24,291
and we never lost it.

1334
01:05:24,391 --> 01:05:26,411
Paul picked up on it,
John picked up on it,

1335
01:05:26,511 --> 01:05:28,171
and off we went.

1336
01:05:28,271 --> 01:05:30,551
-[upbeat synthesiser music]
-[traffic blaring]

1337
01:05:35,832 --> 01:05:37,892
[Delvene]
The US press went mad.

1338
01:05:37,992 --> 01:05:40,292
Paramount had Linda and Paul
on talk shows

1339
01:05:40,392 --> 01:05:42,392
all over the country.

1340
01:05:46,352 --> 01:05:51,332
We opened in 500 theatres and
this word of mouth got around.

1341
01:05:51,432 --> 01:05:53,492
[American man]
Crocodile Dundee - sold out.

1342
01:05:53,592 --> 01:05:56,132
Like a comic book superhero.
I loved it. I loved it.

1343
01:05:56,232 --> 01:05:59,892
He's cute and he's charming
and you... I don't know!

1344
01:05:59,992 --> 01:06:02,612
When he's about to get mugged,
right, and he says,

1345
01:06:02,712 --> 01:06:04,572
"Now that's a knife,"
that was scary.

1346
01:06:04,672 --> 01:06:06,372
And he pulls out his big
machete and he starts

1347
01:06:06,472 --> 01:06:07,732
waving it around.

1348
01:06:07,832 --> 01:06:11,332
Of course I think he's sexy!
That's why I came tonight.

1349
01:06:11,432 --> 01:06:15,153
Well, the money just came in
in a wave.

1350
01:06:16,593 --> 01:06:18,833
8.8 million the first week...

1351
01:06:20,553 --> 01:06:22,553
..19 the second week...

1352
01:06:23,473 --> 01:06:25,053
..28 the third week,

1353
01:06:25,153 --> 01:06:27,153
and then look out!

1354
01:06:28,233 --> 01:06:30,233
It was a runaway train.

1355
01:06:30,593 --> 01:06:33,053
And I went, "Yes!"

1356
01:06:33,153 --> 01:06:34,933
We had a movie
that was sensational.

1357
01:06:35,033 --> 01:06:36,653
Didn't matter that
we never heard of

1358
01:06:36,753 --> 01:06:38,653
Paul Hogan at that point,

1359
01:06:38,753 --> 01:06:41,293
and it didn't matter that
it was an Australian film.

1360
01:06:41,393 --> 01:06:43,733
What it was
was a terrific Australian film

1361
01:06:43,833 --> 01:06:45,833
with some guy
called Paul Hogan.

1362
01:06:47,673 --> 01:06:51,233
[Denis] Crocodile Dundee in
the States ran for six months.

1363
01:06:52,714 --> 01:06:54,894
It's only in USA, Canada
and Australia.

1364
01:06:54,994 --> 01:06:57,054
We've got the rest of the world
to go yet.

1365
01:06:57,154 --> 01:06:58,374
[audience laughing]

1366
01:06:58,474 --> 01:07:00,894
[Paul] But I'd have been happy
if was a hit

1367
01:07:00,994 --> 01:07:03,174
in Australia and in the UK.

1368
01:07:03,274 --> 01:07:05,254
I didn't know it was
going to be a hit in Israel

1369
01:07:05,354 --> 01:07:09,214
and Switzerland and Mexico.

1370
01:07:09,314 --> 01:07:11,414
[chuckles] And it was.

1371
01:07:11,514 --> 01:07:14,534
[Delvene] Crocodile Dundee
released all around the world.

1372
01:07:14,634 --> 01:07:17,754
It was a global sensation.

1373
01:07:25,834 --> 01:07:30,994
For $8.8 million Australian,
we made $328 million.

1374
01:07:32,115 --> 01:07:34,295
You take it over 40 years,

1375
01:07:34,395 --> 01:07:36,615
well, it's gone up
about 10 times.

1376
01:07:36,715 --> 01:07:38,855
Let's say seven times.

1377
01:07:38,955 --> 01:07:42,395
So, what'd I say? Seven threes,
so that's $2.8 billion.

1378
01:07:44,995 --> 01:07:47,615
Crocodile Dundee is
the biggest foreign movie

1379
01:07:47,715 --> 01:07:49,715
in the history of movies.

1380
01:07:50,035 --> 01:07:53,375
It's the biggest movie
in the world

1381
01:07:53,475 --> 01:07:56,495
ever made outside
of a major studio.

1382
01:07:56,595 --> 01:07:59,295
It was just report
after report after report

1383
01:07:59,395 --> 01:08:01,495
saying highest revenue ever,

1384
01:08:01,595 --> 01:08:04,775
biggest box opening
ever, ever, ever.

1385
01:08:04,875 --> 01:08:07,535
So there's a lot of
biggest "evers" in there.

1386
01:08:07,635 --> 01:08:09,375
In fact, Paul Hogan
used to say to me,

1387
01:08:09,475 --> 01:08:11,296
"Don't tell me about how much
money it took last weekend -

1388
01:08:11,396 --> 01:08:12,536
"tell me about the evers."

1389
01:08:12,636 --> 01:08:14,416
You just don't know
until you do it.

1390
01:08:14,516 --> 01:08:17,736
And Dundee sort of did that,
opened the floodgates.

1391
01:08:17,836 --> 01:08:20,216
I think we all knew
it was going to be successful,

1392
01:08:20,316 --> 01:08:24,216
but how successful
was sort of the question area.

1393
01:08:24,316 --> 01:08:27,336
And it's very successful,
which is great.

1394
01:08:27,436 --> 01:08:29,416
And it just sort of crept up.

1395
01:08:29,516 --> 01:08:31,736
And then we went
a couple times.

1396
01:08:31,836 --> 01:08:34,736
Groups of us would go
and sit in the back row,

1397
01:08:34,836 --> 01:08:36,856
I think in New York
and some other places,

1398
01:08:36,956 --> 01:08:39,176
just to watch
the audience reaction

1399
01:08:39,276 --> 01:08:42,736
and seeing how into it
they were

1400
01:08:42,836 --> 01:08:45,256
and cheering,
you know, at the end

1401
01:08:45,356 --> 01:08:47,216
and just really calling out

1402
01:08:47,316 --> 01:08:49,457
and just feeling
very so engaged with it.

1403
01:08:49,557 --> 01:08:52,497
We were going,
"Oh, this is much bigger

1404
01:08:52,597 --> 01:08:55,397
"than we thought
it was going to be, wow."

1405
01:08:57,277 --> 01:08:59,297
[Delvene] The film was
nominated for an Oscar

1406
01:08:59,397 --> 01:09:01,397
for Best Original Screenplay.

1407
01:09:03,157 --> 01:09:05,177
[Paul] I enjoyed
the Oscar nomination

1408
01:09:05,277 --> 01:09:07,837
because that's made
by other writers

1409
01:09:08,517 --> 01:09:10,937
[Delvene] To be
nominated for an Oscar,

1410
01:09:11,037 --> 01:09:13,777
if you're talking about
pinnacles of acting, directing,

1411
01:09:13,877 --> 01:09:15,817
writing, making films,

1412
01:09:15,917 --> 01:09:17,777
that's what you want.

1413
01:09:17,877 --> 01:09:19,897
That's a recognition.

1414
01:09:19,997 --> 01:09:24,177
Both Linda and Paul received
Golden Globe nominations.

1415
01:09:24,277 --> 01:09:27,858
And it is a dream when you're
an actor to be recognised.

1416
01:09:27,958 --> 01:09:31,618
You can't imagine that that
would ever happen to you.

1417
01:09:31,718 --> 01:09:33,138
It was so funny.

1418
01:09:33,238 --> 01:09:35,618
I got a Golden Globe
as the best actor

1419
01:09:35,718 --> 01:09:38,458
and I think the Foreign Press
were embarrassed

1420
01:09:38,558 --> 01:09:41,138
when they got to meet me.

1421
01:09:41,238 --> 01:09:45,498
And they said,
"It's just him with a hat on,"

1422
01:09:45,598 --> 01:09:47,838
was the only difference
between me and Dundee.

1423
01:09:49,918 --> 01:09:53,218
And I thought,
"I'm not a very good actor."

1424
01:09:53,318 --> 01:09:55,658
Me, I just put on
different hats.

1425
01:09:55,758 --> 01:09:58,058
I mean, if you look at
sort of Mick Dundee and me,

1426
01:09:58,158 --> 01:10:00,298
I'm convincing
as that character,

1427
01:10:00,398 --> 01:10:02,398
but that's it, you know.

1428
01:10:04,478 --> 01:10:06,179
You're not going to find
another Paul Hogan

1429
01:10:06,279 --> 01:10:07,299
around the world.

1430
01:10:07,399 --> 01:10:09,019
I mean, Paul Hogan now,

1431
01:10:09,119 --> 01:10:11,019
according to all the executives
in Hollywood,

1432
01:10:11,119 --> 01:10:16,539
is in the top two or three
box office stars in the world.

1433
01:10:16,639 --> 01:10:21,699
So, luckily, he doesn't have
any ego problems

1434
01:10:21,799 --> 01:10:24,019
'cause the last thing we want
is for him to be

1435
01:10:24,119 --> 01:10:26,219
walking around thinking
that he's Paul Hogan.

1436
01:10:26,319 --> 01:10:28,319
[interviewer chuckles]

1437
01:10:30,839 --> 01:10:33,299
[Terry] Well, Hogan made
Crocodile Dundee.

1438
01:10:33,399 --> 01:10:36,099
If Paul Hogan hadn't been born,

1439
01:10:36,199 --> 01:10:39,739
would we have had
somebody else play the role

1440
01:10:39,839 --> 01:10:41,379
and do just as well?

1441
01:10:41,479 --> 01:10:43,479
I don't think so.

1442
01:10:44,160 --> 01:10:46,620
[Delvene] Hoges will
tell you himself that

1443
01:10:46,720 --> 01:10:48,420
Mick Dundee is just
Hoges in the bush.

1444
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:49,700
[chuckles]

1445
01:10:49,800 --> 01:10:51,460
-You'd be looking at Linda...
-Back to the spot.

1446
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:53,060
Yeah, you'd be
walking back the spot.

1447
01:10:53,160 --> 01:10:54,700
I'll be looking cool.
I do it every day.

1448
01:10:54,800 --> 01:10:56,380
-Yeah.
-Gotcha.

1449
01:10:56,480 --> 01:10:58,940
There was a quality
about Mick Dundee

1450
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:01,840
that every man and woman
related to.

1451
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:06,020
[Linda] And there was
something amazing

1452
01:11:06,120 --> 01:11:11,980
about this superhero
that he was relatable.

1453
01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:14,340
You could see yourself in him.

1454
01:11:14,440 --> 01:11:16,700
Like, "Yeah, that's what
I would've done if I could."

1455
01:11:16,800 --> 01:11:18,260
You know?

1456
01:11:18,360 --> 01:11:21,420
He wasn't like
half man and half bug or...

1457
01:11:21,520 --> 01:11:23,701
[chuckles]
You know what I mean?

1458
01:11:23,801 --> 01:11:28,141
Or some, like, metal super guy
flying through the sky.

1459
01:11:28,241 --> 01:11:31,421
He was a guy,
like a normal guy,

1460
01:11:31,521 --> 01:11:35,381
but he was like a superhero
at the same time.

1461
01:11:35,481 --> 01:11:37,981
And he came from
a completely different place.

1462
01:11:38,081 --> 01:11:40,421
[whistles melodiously]

1463
01:11:40,521 --> 01:11:42,981
[Delvene] Mick Dundee
was so believable

1464
01:11:43,081 --> 01:11:45,981
that people thought he was
a real person. [chuckles]

1465
01:11:46,081 --> 01:11:48,181
[whistles melodiously]

1466
01:11:48,281 --> 01:11:50,301
[Paul] The movie wouldn't have
worked as well if they'd had

1467
01:11:50,401 --> 01:11:52,221
a big movie star in it.

1468
01:11:52,321 --> 01:11:55,381
Because in most of the world,
I was unknown

1469
01:11:55,481 --> 01:11:58,221
and therefore the character
became real.

1470
01:11:58,321 --> 01:12:02,222
When I did international
press junkets for promotion,

1471
01:12:02,322 --> 01:12:04,022
it was all, "Mr Dundee,"

1472
01:12:04,122 --> 01:12:06,582
or, "Can you throw
over there, Mick?"

1473
01:12:06,682 --> 01:12:08,682
He was real.

1474
01:12:09,802 --> 01:12:12,222
The last survey
the tourism people were doing

1475
01:12:12,322 --> 01:12:14,102
about what people knew
about Australia

1476
01:12:14,202 --> 01:12:16,302
and new famous Australians,

1477
01:12:16,402 --> 01:12:18,182
they had, you know,
Chris Hemsworth

1478
01:12:18,282 --> 01:12:22,822
and probably Nicole and Margot
names on it.

1479
01:12:22,922 --> 01:12:26,662
And on the list, I was
fifth most famous Australian.

1480
01:12:26,762 --> 01:12:28,462
I think it was 11th
on one of the others,

1481
01:12:28,562 --> 01:12:30,422
and I didn't even make
the top 10 or something.

1482
01:12:30,522 --> 01:12:32,582
But who was number one?

1483
01:12:32,682 --> 01:12:34,422
Mick Dundee.

1484
01:12:34,522 --> 01:12:37,822
Was the most famous Australian
in every survey they did.

1485
01:12:37,922 --> 01:12:41,263
I thought, "But he's not real.
I made him up."

1486
01:12:41,363 --> 01:12:44,523
So I didn't make the list,
but he did. [chuckles]

1487
01:12:45,043 --> 01:12:48,063
Paul, it's great to see you
in New York. I love your show.

1488
01:12:48,163 --> 01:12:50,303
-You got good taste.
-Ah. Thank you.

1489
01:12:50,403 --> 01:12:51,863
-You have a good show.
-Very professional.

1490
01:12:51,963 --> 01:12:53,423
[laughs]

1491
01:12:53,523 --> 01:12:56,863
I think it's acknowledged that
Paul put Australia on the map.

1492
01:12:56,963 --> 01:12:59,983
It started, of course, with the
"shrimp on the barbecue" stuff

1493
01:13:00,083 --> 01:13:04,003
and then it was compounded
by Crocodile Dundee.

1494
01:13:05,283 --> 01:13:09,383
In America,
the Australian accent,

1495
01:13:09,483 --> 01:13:13,223
suddenly -
I really believe this -

1496
01:13:13,323 --> 01:13:15,323
suddenly became acceptable.

1497
01:13:15,683 --> 01:13:16,823
Um...

1498
01:13:16,923 --> 01:13:18,624
[imitates Australian accent]
No worries, mate.

1499
01:13:18,724 --> 01:13:20,184
[Peter] He made it
very, very clear

1500
01:13:20,284 --> 01:13:22,224
that we're
a nice lot of people.

1501
01:13:22,324 --> 01:13:24,784
We're fun, we're ordinary,
we're not strangers.

1502
01:13:24,884 --> 01:13:27,104
[Peter on set]
I'll get somebody on the case.

1503
01:13:27,204 --> 01:13:29,204
You want that? I'll fix it.

1504
01:13:29,844 --> 01:13:32,984
The relationship that exists
between John and Paul

1505
01:13:33,084 --> 01:13:35,024
and it comes out as
something special and unique

1506
01:13:35,124 --> 01:13:36,304
as we talked about earlier.

1507
01:13:36,404 --> 01:13:38,144
And I think
from that standpoint,

1508
01:13:38,244 --> 01:13:40,384
they offer a freshness

1509
01:13:40,484 --> 01:13:43,184
and - something that is really
special in this business -

1510
01:13:43,284 --> 01:13:44,544
a loyalty.

1511
01:13:44,644 --> 01:13:47,464
I have one more thing
to add to that.

1512
01:13:47,564 --> 01:13:52,064
Both of those guys
are really nice guys.

1513
01:13:52,164 --> 01:13:54,944
In addition to being
terrific filmmakers,

1514
01:13:55,044 --> 01:13:57,045
they're really nice people.

1515
01:13:59,845 --> 01:14:01,345
[Bill] I think
for all of us in Australia,

1516
01:14:01,445 --> 01:14:03,505
this idea of what you can
and can't do

1517
01:14:03,605 --> 01:14:05,825
was well and truly
kicked down the street

1518
01:14:05,925 --> 01:14:08,425
because what they took on
and what they achieved

1519
01:14:08,525 --> 01:14:10,565
was so impossible.

1520
01:14:14,165 --> 01:14:15,905
Crocodile Dundee
has been described

1521
01:14:16,005 --> 01:14:17,945
as lightning in a bottle.

1522
01:14:18,045 --> 01:14:20,865
So, how does that come about?

1523
01:14:20,965 --> 01:14:23,185
That's the magical
collaboration

1524
01:14:23,285 --> 01:14:27,065
of all of those
incredible people on the crew,

1525
01:14:27,165 --> 01:14:28,785
as well as John and Paul,

1526
01:14:28,885 --> 01:14:30,945
is that something happens.

1527
01:14:31,045 --> 01:14:32,785
There's a...

1528
01:14:32,885 --> 01:14:35,065
It's like a cauldron brewing.

1529
01:14:35,165 --> 01:14:38,806
All the ingredients go in,
and then magic happens.

1530
01:14:41,766 --> 01:14:44,466
And then you
have to contain it.

1531
01:14:44,566 --> 01:14:48,786
And I think there was just so
much potential with that film

1532
01:14:48,886 --> 01:14:51,106
that it was like
lightning in a bottle -

1533
01:14:51,206 --> 01:14:52,826
it's just needing to get out!

1534
01:14:52,926 --> 01:14:54,926
You know, and then it got out.

1535
01:14:57,286 --> 01:14:59,066
[Linda] For sure,
the energy of the film,

1536
01:14:59,166 --> 01:15:00,866
the newness of the film...

1537
01:15:00,966 --> 01:15:04,346
It was a comedy,
it was a romantic comedy,

1538
01:15:04,446 --> 01:15:06,866
but it was also, like, one of
the big adventure movies.

1539
01:15:06,966 --> 01:15:08,966
You had incredible scenery.

1540
01:15:10,366 --> 01:15:11,986
[David Gyngell]
It's like one of those films

1541
01:15:12,086 --> 01:15:13,786
that they keep showing to say,

1542
01:15:13,886 --> 01:15:15,587
why is this
an outstanding success?

1543
01:15:15,687 --> 01:15:17,867
And kind of everyone gets it.

1544
01:15:17,967 --> 01:15:21,147
The warmth and
the normal traditional beats

1545
01:15:21,247 --> 01:15:24,547
of a hero, fish out of water.

1546
01:15:24,647 --> 01:15:27,467
For me, I felt very much
a fish in water.

1547
01:15:27,567 --> 01:15:29,627
The crew was incredible.

1548
01:15:29,727 --> 01:15:32,387
Everybody's attitude
was just so great

1549
01:15:32,487 --> 01:15:35,267
and we had this common goal
of just getting it right

1550
01:15:35,367 --> 01:15:37,387
and making it right
and making it work.

1551
01:15:37,487 --> 01:15:39,107
And, you know, saying,
"What about this?

1552
01:15:39,207 --> 01:15:40,867
"What about that?
Oh, that's kind of stra--"

1553
01:15:40,967 --> 01:15:43,787
And so...
I was in my element in a way.

1554
01:15:43,887 --> 01:15:48,967
And everybody's enthusiasm
as well was very inspiring.

1555
01:15:50,967 --> 01:15:53,308
I think it was a combination
of all those things

1556
01:15:53,408 --> 01:15:55,188
that John, again,

1557
01:15:55,288 --> 01:15:59,628
making the working place
such a great place -

1558
01:15:59,728 --> 01:16:02,408
it made people
want to do better.

1559
01:16:03,248 --> 01:16:06,468
They felt those good vibes,
you know,

1560
01:16:06,568 --> 01:16:08,908
and it permeated the set

1561
01:16:09,008 --> 01:16:12,028
and I think in the end
it permeated the screen.

1562
01:16:12,128 --> 01:16:14,128
It came right out
into the audience.

1563
01:16:18,008 --> 01:16:21,988
John always thought,
right from the scene one,

1564
01:16:22,088 --> 01:16:24,188
"This is going to work,
this is going to be a hit."

1565
01:16:24,288 --> 01:16:25,868
I don't think
anyone else did -

1566
01:16:25,968 --> 01:16:27,868
not to the extent
he believed it.

1567
01:16:27,968 --> 01:16:30,828
Belief in himself and
belief in me more than I had.

1568
01:16:30,928 --> 01:16:33,109
[chuckles] Sort of.

1569
01:16:33,209 --> 01:16:36,149
He's got the magic ingredient
that stars have in them,

1570
01:16:36,249 --> 01:16:40,549
and he doesn't only have it
for this country

1571
01:16:40,649 --> 01:16:42,309
but for overseas as well.

1572
01:16:42,409 --> 01:16:44,149
It's very hard to define, mate.

1573
01:16:44,249 --> 01:16:46,749
I think he's got
a few ingredients

1574
01:16:46,849 --> 01:16:48,749
that we're not even
sure about ourselves.

1575
01:16:48,849 --> 01:16:50,269
[man] Rehearsal it is!

1576
01:16:50,369 --> 01:16:52,369
[chatter on set]

1577
01:16:53,649 --> 01:16:57,589
[Delvene] They were so attuned,
John and Paul.

1578
01:16:57,689 --> 01:16:59,789
They never finished each
other's sentences or stuff,

1579
01:16:59,889 --> 01:17:02,809
but their thoughts were, like,
in the ether at the same time.

1580
01:17:05,729 --> 01:17:07,629
Not quite telepathic,

1581
01:17:07,729 --> 01:17:09,589
but so on
the same wavelength.

1582
01:17:09,689 --> 01:17:11,310
Is it the line
that's worrying you?

1583
01:17:11,410 --> 01:17:12,910
-The dialogue?
-It's the dialogue.

1584
01:17:13,010 --> 01:17:14,310
The... [garbled scream]

1585
01:17:14,410 --> 01:17:16,490
-That's the one, yeah.
-[John chuckles]

1586
01:17:17,250 --> 01:17:19,550
I guess I could say
they were blood brothers.

1587
01:17:19,650 --> 01:17:21,630
They were so comfortable
with each other.

1588
01:17:21,730 --> 01:17:22,790
They were so in sync.

1589
01:17:22,890 --> 01:17:24,190
What should I be thinking?

1590
01:17:24,290 --> 01:17:25,590
It's time?

1591
01:17:25,690 --> 01:17:27,830
Fall off the building,
I'm hanging on the ledge...

1592
01:17:27,930 --> 01:17:29,470
It just won't come to me.

1593
01:17:29,570 --> 01:17:31,790
Think about the coathanger,
mate.

1594
01:17:31,890 --> 01:17:34,370
-[Paul] Oh, the old coathanger?
-The old coathanger.

1595
01:17:35,490 --> 01:17:38,830
[Linda] They just could look
at each other and know,

1596
01:17:38,930 --> 01:17:41,950
and they really had
the same ideas

1597
01:17:42,050 --> 01:17:45,290
and the same feelings
about so many things.

1598
01:17:45,770 --> 01:17:47,870
We've got sort of a bit of
a mental umbilical cord

1599
01:17:47,970 --> 01:17:49,631
between us creatively anyway,

1600
01:17:49,731 --> 01:17:52,711
so that's the easiest part
with Paul.

1601
01:17:52,811 --> 01:17:54,391
You don't have to
direct him anyway.

1602
01:17:54,491 --> 01:17:56,151
You just say, "You got a fly
on ya face, mate."

1603
01:17:56,251 --> 01:17:58,251
That's about all
you need to say to him.

1604
01:17:59,371 --> 01:18:03,311
[Delvene] They were so both
coupled with their values

1605
01:18:03,411 --> 01:18:05,151
and principles
and philosophies

1606
01:18:05,251 --> 01:18:07,351
and attitude to life,

1607
01:18:07,451 --> 01:18:09,871
that whatever
they did together,

1608
01:18:09,971 --> 01:18:13,951
they did symbiotically
to the point where

1609
01:18:14,051 --> 01:18:17,311
they were like
soul brothers for eternity.

1610
01:18:17,411 --> 01:18:20,191
Just this incredible connection

1611
01:18:20,291 --> 01:18:23,831
from two opposing
backgrounds, really.

1612
01:18:23,931 --> 01:18:26,831
But so like-minded,
despite that.

1613
01:18:26,931 --> 01:18:31,352
That, to me, that was rare.

1614
01:18:31,452 --> 01:18:33,352
-[laughs]
-Sometimes you're embarrassed

1615
01:18:33,452 --> 01:18:34,912
when we try and do
this candid stuff.

1616
01:18:35,012 --> 01:18:36,392
Just relax.

1617
01:18:36,492 --> 01:18:38,712
At least we can cut out
whatever we don't like.

1618
01:18:38,812 --> 01:18:40,912
Yeah, that's right.
We edit this.

1619
01:18:41,012 --> 01:18:43,012
[both chuckle]

1620
01:18:43,692 --> 01:18:45,752
He'd take a bullet
for me, John.

1621
01:18:45,852 --> 01:18:47,992
Your financial advisor
and business manager

1622
01:18:48,092 --> 01:18:50,432
and entrepreneur
is also your best friend?

1623
01:18:50,532 --> 01:18:53,352
It's... it's fabulous.

1624
01:18:53,452 --> 01:18:56,392
I have come to send you to the
boilermakers mixed prawn night.

1625
01:18:56,492 --> 01:18:57,632
Me?

1626
01:18:57,732 --> 01:18:59,512
A little wave of
the magic four-by-two,

1627
01:18:59,612 --> 01:19:01,152
and you'll look like
a million dollars.

1628
01:19:01,252 --> 01:19:03,272
Get on to this.
[whistles softly]

1629
01:19:03,372 --> 01:19:05,232
[tinkling music plays]

1630
01:19:05,332 --> 01:19:07,353
[audience laughter]

1631
01:19:07,453 --> 01:19:09,153
[David Gyngell]
It's that leap of going

1632
01:19:09,253 --> 01:19:11,473
from being small screen
to large screen,

1633
01:19:11,573 --> 01:19:14,353
to local to international.

1634
01:19:14,453 --> 01:19:17,713
I can't off the top of my head,
unless you want to remind me,

1635
01:19:17,813 --> 01:19:19,813
think of anyone else
who's done that.

1636
01:19:21,373 --> 01:19:24,193
Gravitas, aura, swagger.

1637
01:19:24,293 --> 01:19:26,773
Those guys had it in spades.

1638
01:19:28,253 --> 01:19:30,033
These guys
didn't have laneways -

1639
01:19:30,133 --> 01:19:32,553
they just took
whole landscapes.

1640
01:19:32,653 --> 01:19:35,373
Then went across it
in their way.

1641
01:19:37,653 --> 01:19:40,273
They want to do good.
They want to make people laugh.

1642
01:19:40,373 --> 01:19:44,914
It kind of comes from
a really simple, nice space

1643
01:19:45,014 --> 01:19:49,394
that all of us can attach to
and go along the ride with.

1644
01:19:49,494 --> 01:19:51,354
But, you know,
if you've got the ability

1645
01:19:51,454 --> 01:19:54,474
to make people laugh and
forget their woes for a bit,

1646
01:19:54,574 --> 01:19:57,074
you know, oh, what a job.

1647
01:19:57,174 --> 01:19:59,174
[audience applauding]

1648
01:20:00,534 --> 01:20:03,374
I miss me, mate. [chuckles]
The old Strop.

1649
01:20:06,934 --> 01:20:10,574
[birds twittering]

1650
01:20:15,214 --> 01:20:17,034
[bee buzzing]

1651
01:20:17,134 --> 01:20:19,134
[gentle music]

1652
01:20:20,014 --> 01:20:22,795
[Delvene] He was diagnosed
the day before he turned 60

1653
01:20:22,895 --> 01:20:24,895
with Parkinson's disease.

1654
01:20:27,255 --> 01:20:31,555
We would talk all through
our 46 years of marriage

1655
01:20:31,655 --> 01:20:33,695
till the cows came home.

1656
01:20:34,495 --> 01:20:36,115
You know,
great conversationalists,

1657
01:20:36,215 --> 01:20:37,995
great conversations.

1658
01:20:38,095 --> 01:20:43,875
And to see him lose his voice
was a real loss.

1659
01:20:43,975 --> 01:20:48,695
But through it all, I've never
seen anyone be more brave.

1660
01:20:50,775 --> 01:20:52,915
He had a great
depth of courage.

1661
01:20:53,015 --> 01:20:54,715
He never whinged.

1662
01:20:54,815 --> 01:21:00,315
He was stoic
and he was accepting

1663
01:21:00,415 --> 01:21:03,396
and was never
sorry for himself.

1664
01:21:03,496 --> 01:21:06,836
A couple of times
I'd see him go - [sighs] -

1665
01:21:06,936 --> 01:21:09,656
and you could see he was
just really tired of it.

1666
01:21:12,416 --> 01:21:16,236
And for me,
as his long life love,

1667
01:21:16,336 --> 01:21:18,816
that was a really
difficult thing to watch.

1668
01:21:22,416 --> 01:21:26,256
He always wanted
to get to 80, and he did.

1669
01:21:28,136 --> 01:21:30,156
[reporter 1]
His wife of 46 years

1670
01:21:30,256 --> 01:21:31,556
was by his side last night...

1671
01:21:31,656 --> 01:21:33,236
[reporter 2] You'll know him
as Paul Hogan's

1672
01:21:33,336 --> 01:21:35,276
dopey sidekick Strop,
but John Cornell...

1673
01:21:35,376 --> 01:21:37,396
[reporter 3] In a statement,
his family remembered him

1674
01:21:37,496 --> 01:21:39,236
as a true egalitarian

1675
01:21:39,336 --> 01:21:40,957
who sought equity
and equality

1676
01:21:41,057 --> 01:21:43,057
and fought for a fair go...

1677
01:21:44,497 --> 01:21:48,397
[Delvene] I had said to John
before he passed,

1678
01:21:48,497 --> 01:21:50,237
what bird do you want
to be remembered as?

1679
01:21:50,337 --> 01:21:51,877
Because we've got
a tradition in our family.

1680
01:21:51,977 --> 01:21:54,577
And he said,
"I want a kookaburra."

1681
01:21:56,657 --> 01:21:57,957
I said, "Why?"

1682
01:21:58,057 --> 01:22:00,297
And he said, "'Cause they
make people laugh."

1683
01:22:01,417 --> 01:22:05,077
[kookaburras laughing
distantly]

1684
01:22:05,177 --> 01:22:07,797
They land in the tree where
we've tied all the ribbons

1685
01:22:07,897 --> 01:22:09,597
that we had people send in

1686
01:22:09,697 --> 01:22:11,917
who couldn't come to the
funeral because it was COVID.

1687
01:22:12,017 --> 01:22:13,997
And that's John's tree

1688
01:22:14,097 --> 01:22:18,157
and all these ribbons
are ephemerally ageing

1689
01:22:18,257 --> 01:22:20,338
and it's kind of like
life itself.

1690
01:22:26,098 --> 01:22:27,558
A few years before
he passed away

1691
01:22:27,658 --> 01:22:29,318
and he wasn't in a good way,

1692
01:22:29,418 --> 01:22:30,918
we went round to his house
to pick him up.

1693
01:22:31,018 --> 01:22:32,758
Went to get his shoes,

1694
01:22:32,858 --> 01:22:35,838
and he put his foot into his
shoe and he went, "Hang on."

1695
01:22:35,938 --> 01:22:37,638
And he pulled his foot
out of his shoe

1696
01:22:37,738 --> 01:22:39,358
and he put his hand
into his shoe

1697
01:22:39,458 --> 01:22:41,358
and there was
a rigor mortis mouse,

1698
01:22:41,458 --> 01:22:43,398
tiny little mouse, in his shoe.

1699
01:22:43,498 --> 01:22:47,238
And he just looked up
and said...

1700
01:22:47,338 --> 01:22:49,438
"I got to get out more."

1701
01:22:49,538 --> 01:22:51,918
Because he clearly hadn't put
his shoes on enough lately.

1702
01:22:52,018 --> 01:22:53,718
Or he hadn't chosen
those shoes.

1703
01:22:53,818 --> 01:22:55,878
But that's just
a classic beautiful line.

1704
01:22:55,978 --> 01:22:57,639
That he just - straight off
the top of his head -

1705
01:22:57,739 --> 01:22:59,359
"I've got to get out more."

1706
01:22:59,459 --> 01:23:01,459
You know? And that's just...
that's Corny.

1707
01:23:02,739 --> 01:23:04,559
As a friend,

1708
01:23:04,659 --> 01:23:06,839
as a mentor to me,
as someone I love dearly,

1709
01:23:06,939 --> 01:23:09,099
it'd never been better for me.

1710
01:23:14,339 --> 01:23:16,599
[Denis] Everything I've had to
do with Hogan and Cornell

1711
01:23:16,699 --> 01:23:18,359
in the making of the movie

1712
01:23:18,459 --> 01:23:20,479
and all the other things that
we've done through our lives

1713
01:23:20,579 --> 01:23:22,579
has been a privilege.

1714
01:23:25,419 --> 01:23:27,419
[emotionally]
I'm getting teary.

1715
01:23:28,979 --> 01:23:30,999
Um...

1716
01:23:31,099 --> 01:23:32,799
One of the saddest things

1717
01:23:32,899 --> 01:23:36,380
was I could never
get to John's funeral.

1718
01:23:41,060 --> 01:23:43,340
Anyway... Thanks, John.

1719
01:23:55,060 --> 01:23:57,060
Sorry.

1720
01:23:57,380 --> 01:23:59,380
-Oh, sorry.
-[Delvene sobs softly]

1721
01:24:00,620 --> 01:24:03,020
[romantic instrumental
music playing]

1722
01:24:04,060 --> 01:24:07,040
[Delvene] My wish initially
when I fell in love with John

1723
01:24:07,140 --> 01:24:10,960
was that we would grow old
together, and we did.

1724
01:24:11,060 --> 01:24:13,060
How lucky am I?

1725
01:24:18,901 --> 01:24:20,441
I search for my lover.

1726
01:24:20,541 --> 01:24:22,361
He's missing one thong

1727
01:24:22,461 --> 01:24:24,041
and wearing
a lifesaver's cap.

1728
01:24:24,141 --> 01:24:25,721
-Pray tell, is it yours?
-Yeah.

1729
01:24:25,821 --> 01:24:26,961
How do you know?

1730
01:24:27,061 --> 01:24:28,601
By the chewing gum
under the strap.

1731
01:24:28,701 --> 01:24:30,401
-Ah.
-[audience laughter]

1732
01:24:30,501 --> 01:24:33,801
[Delvene] This documentary,
this is an act of love.

1733
01:24:33,901 --> 01:24:36,841
For John, primarily,

1734
01:24:36,941 --> 01:24:38,941
because he's not here
to be honoured.

1735
01:24:39,781 --> 01:24:43,001
But also for the film
and for Paul

1736
01:24:43,101 --> 01:24:45,601
and all my old friends,

1737
01:24:45,701 --> 01:24:48,381
everyone who added their spark
to Crocodile Dundee.

1738
01:24:49,221 --> 01:24:51,081
[laughs]

1739
01:24:51,181 --> 01:24:54,802
[Delvene] When anything is made
with courage, conviction,

1740
01:24:54,902 --> 01:24:57,762
chemistry and humour...

1741
01:24:57,862 --> 01:24:59,242
[both laugh]

1742
01:24:59,342 --> 01:25:00,522
Do you want me to hide it?

1743
01:25:00,622 --> 01:25:02,642
[Delvene]
..you can feel this magic

1744
01:25:02,742 --> 01:25:05,362
and everything
becomes possible.

1745
01:25:05,462 --> 01:25:09,602
[Paul] I love you, Delly.
It's all been a pleasure.

1746
01:25:09,702 --> 01:25:12,382
-Yeah. Travel well.
-Okay.

1747
01:25:13,502 --> 01:25:17,302
[Delvene] I may never know
what makes magic happen...

1748
01:25:20,582 --> 01:25:24,522
..but I do know that, to me,

1749
01:25:24,622 --> 01:25:28,822
the most magical ingredient
of all is love.

1750
01:25:44,263 --> 01:25:49,663
[kookaburras laughing
distantly]

1751
01:25:53,703 --> 01:25:56,043
[interviewer] I want it from
the horse's mouth, John.

1752
01:25:56,143 --> 01:25:57,683
-Are we starting?
-[interviewer] Yep.

1753
01:25:57,783 --> 01:25:59,323
Yeah, okay.
Hold on, I'll put this out.

1754
01:25:59,423 --> 01:26:01,943
[uplifting music]

1755
01:26:02,783 --> 01:26:04,483
I'll tickle you.
That'll make you wake up.

1756
01:26:04,583 --> 01:26:06,583
[both chuckle]

1757
01:26:09,343 --> 01:26:11,324
So, what did we used to say?

1758
01:26:11,424 --> 01:26:13,424
-Elbows out.
-Elbows out.

1759
01:26:17,504 --> 01:26:20,184
[laughing]
Minister for Good Times.

1760
01:26:23,224 --> 01:26:25,224
[blows kiss]
