Crocodile Dundee
Australian knife guy
Crocodile Dundee is a 1986 Australian comedy film about a rugged outback bushman encountering New York City culture, or the film's protagonist played by Paul Hogan.
The character became shorthand for a certain Australian stereotype—laconic, resourceful, unfazed by danger.
Someone called a Crocodile Dundee handles situations with folksy confidence: He pulled out a pocket knife like some Crocodile Dundee.
