The more I read on this the more I'm getting suspicious that this IS some kind of big "FU** YOU!"/prank/Superbowl car commercial or something.

It wouldn't even be the first time...

So this is confirmed FAKE news? Probably just a Super Bowl spot then?

Looked into it a few different ways and it's sounding very, very bad toward it being a fake thing.

Yep, it's just a Super Bowl ad for Australia tourism

That's unfortunate, but it has certainly fooled everyone.

No it didn't. People were skeptical of this from the beginning.

Eh, while it's probably correct, the article doesn't actually indicate any proof. "Hemsworth, coincidentally, is a Tourism Australia ambassador" <--- that's the proof the article gives. We already knew that and, while it's concerning, isn't definitive proof in and of itself.

It might be. I wouldn't have thought it was their style, but a lot of strange things are happening in advertising at the moment.

At this point it's basically a whose who of Aussie actors involved. The Hemsworth brothers, Margot Robbie, Russell Crowe, Hugh Jackman.

Hmm... so yeah. Kind of not a question of whether it's fake now, but how it's fake... and to what end.

The kicker is that interest or not in this may actually get... some kind of movie made. This might prove to be incredibly smart.

Ah, so it might be like Machete, which was just a fake trailer but got made in to a movie. I'd watch this.

That's kind of the feeling I get. If these fake Dundee commercials continue making the big viral splash they are and strikes some nostalgic franchise nerve, why wouldn't a studio throw 30-40 million to make the real thing?

So yeah. Dumb tourism commercial. Paul Hogan barely has a cameo sitting down in a restaurant.

Are the Crocodile Dundee movies worth watching? I always wanted to watch them as a kid since I loved crocodiles but never did and when I was a teenager/adult they seemed like dumb old movies.

I can 100% vouch for the first two.
