British viewers are upset after Channel Five edited key scenes from the classic film Crocodile Dundee for a recent broadcast. The cuts included a scene with a transgender woman and the iconic "knife" moment, reducing the film's original content by 20%. The 1986 film, starring Paul Hogan, follows a crocodile hunter navigating life in New York City. The edits were made for a family-friendly airing, but many fans expressed their frustration on social media, calling the changes unnecessary. The film was a major success, grossing nearly $330 million worldwide. The screening occurred shortly after the death of Burt, a crocodile featured in the movie, who lived at Crocosaurus Cove in Australia.
