Crocodile Dundee gets re-edit for new cinema release after viewer backlash

Crocodile Dundee is being re-edited for a new version called Crocodile Dundee: The 4K Encore Cut, set to release in May. This follows viewer outrage over cuts made during a UK TV screening, which removed key scenes for a child-friendly broadcast. The new version will feature "considered edits" and high-resolution restoration. Paul Hogan, who played Mick Dundee, will introduce the film at Sydney’s Open Air Cinema this month. The changes aim to address how some jokes may not resonate as well today. The controversy highlights ongoing debates about altering classic films for modern audiences. Similar edits have occurred with other films, raising questions about cultural sensitivities and the integrity of original works.
