Crocodile Dundee II (1988)

Mick tries his best to fit into New York life, and while the residents accept him wholeheartedly he misses his homeland and the freedom it offers. A half-assed set-up drops some clichéd Columbian drug dealers into the mix, which gives him a reason to be the hunter again. Bonzer.
Hogan is neutered for a long time and the movie struggles to find anything interesting to offer until the second half. His practical way of seeing a situation is fun, but it takes a shift in locale before a number of contrasts and parallels can appear to make the first half seem less pointless.

I've only seen this one once and don't remember a thing about it.

Is there a third one that's practically been buried underneath it's own shit?

I only discovered that recently. I went looking to see what else the woman had been in after I watched the first one. I added it to the list with not very much enthusiasm.
