A bit more than salt and pepper is needed to spice up this soundtrack. Just like the film - a flop!

"outback hero comes to America...Basil Poledouris score", July 10, 2001
This review is from: Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001 Film) (Audio CD)
Leave it to director Simon Wincer and our hero, actor Paul Hogan to come up with another "Crocodile Dundee"...this time in Los Angeles...the only good thing about this luke-warm-film is the score...the nod was given to Basil Poledouris...gave us ~ "Conan The Barbarian"(1982)..."Quigley Down Under"(1999)..."Hunt For Red October"(1999)..."Starship Troopers"(1997) and "For The Love Of The Game"(1999).
Poledouris does a bang-up-job with the material he has to work with...the stand outs ~ "CROCODILE DUNDEE IN LOS ANGELES-MAIN TITLE" and "MOTOTOV COCKTAIL/LIONS", shades of Henry Mancini's "Hatari" score comes to mind...counterpoints, measures and orchestration is typical Mancini...not bad company to be in.
The last four tracks entitled "The Songs"...is a waste...feel it degrades the entire CD...pity, our esteem composer is on a higher plain...for what it's worth...Poledouris is one of the upcoming composers to fill the void...looking forward to his next project!
Total Time: 45:07 on 16 Tracks ~ Silva America SSD-1130 ~ (2001)

Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles is a good score from the best composer ever, Basil Poledouris. His music will live forever!!!
