Burt the Crocodile is DEAD to me

He was around 90 years old.

[quote]The croc’s death was announced by Australian reptile park Crocosaurus Cove, where Burt lived out his final years.

[quote]Starring Paul Hogan as a daring Australian crocodile hunter who feels like a fish-out-of-water after visiting New York, “Crocodile Dundee” was released in 1986 and quickly became one of Australia’s highest grossing films. Two sequels followed: “Crocodile Dundee II” and “Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles.”

[quote]Reporting on the original release of the film in Aug. 1986, Variety noted that Paramount Pictures had dithered over keeping the film’s title in case audiences thought the comedy film was “about animals rather than people.” The “Crocodile” of the film’s title is actually Hogan’s character’s nickname. In the end, after reviewing 250 alternative options, Paramount decided to keep the name but released the film with quote marks around the world “Crocodile” — although in the end it didn’t stick.

Imagine being on the marketing team that reviewed those 250 alternatives, jfc.

Wow he was 90. Didn’t realize he was that old. I knew he would be old man age now but dayum. He is older than the oldest boomers.

He was not 90. He was 85. I don’t know why Variety reporting that. Because as a huge film buff I was thinking, This man was almost 60 when he did Crocodile Dundee? 85 is still a couple years older than I imagined he would be but 90. This man was not wrestling crocodiles in his 60s in the 80s.

Your first fucking clue that we're discussing the animal, not the actor, r5.
