[![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7ZTh9Rd0aA) That looks like a trailer for a fun movie I would enjoy watching. Turned out, per the Superbowl, it was all an Australian tourism ad campaign. ---

Sometimes being conned can be fun. I bought into the campaign hook, line and sinker. ---

I too, was looking forward to seeing a Danny McBride / Chris Hemsworth buddy movie. ---

They put more effort into that fake trailer than into some real ones. ---

> [@Snowboarder\_Bo](#): > > I admit I was fully prepared to go see it this summer and yeah, kinda disappointed to know that I won’t. So was I. I thought the idea was kinda stupid at first, but after seeing a trailer or two thought it was going to be pretty funny. ---

I’m still annoyed I can’t watch _Howlin’ For You_. I’ve always been a big fan of Sir Todd Bridges. ---

I found the commercial to be extremely effective. I saw it during the Super Bowl and an hour later I was on a flight to Australia. Okay, so I was watching the Super Bowl in an airport bar waiting for my flight to Australia, but still. I did enjoy it. ---

When I first saw the name Dundee, I thought they were remaking the movie, then I watched the trailer and did like it. Then I read the comments and saw it was a tourism commercial for the Super Bowl, I was disappointed that it was not going to be a real movie. ---

I would so go see it, too. It could be so much fun. ---

Paul Hogan knew he was getting too old for that schtick in the last movie, he’s now pushing 80. Any new movie would have to star a 30-something as Mick, Jr. ETA: now that I’ve watched the thing: their son is Michael Junior, not Brian. ---

> [@Skywatcher](#): > > Paul Hogan knew he was getting too old for that schtick in the last movie, he’s now pushing 80. You saw his 2-second cameo in the commercial, right? For some reason I don’t think it’s in the trailer the OP linked to, but it’s in [this one](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=heL7eEgsqJU), at 1:16. ---

Any new movie would have to star a 30-something as Mick, Jr. Jim Jefferies tried to get him to play his father in Legit. I don’t know why he didn’t. I would have liked to have seen that. George Lazenby played the part. ---
