This movie, as reported by 'The Daily Mail', ''...comes after a Tourism Australia's hilarious faux movie trailer aired during the US Super Bowl back in 2018. The big budget advert, which cost $36 million, took the form of a fake movie trailer for a new Dundee film called 'Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home' [2018].''
Actor-comedian John Cleese worked three days in Melbourne in Victoria, Australia to film his cameo as an Uber driver.
Paul Hogan has said that he doesn't actually portray the Mick 'Crocodile' Dundee character in this film. Despite this, the film is still entitled 'The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee'. In the movie, Hogan actually portrays a fictionalized version of himself.
The film has been notable for the number of numerous star cameo appearances it features.
Star Paul Hogan has said of this movie: "As audiences will see in 'The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee', all of the film is fact, except for the bits we totally made up. We know some of it is true and some is utter lies, but we've forgotten which is which... People ask what is true and what is not. What I do know is that fact is certainly funnier than fiction."
