Beam Me Up, Scotty: The knife quote, often misremembered as "You call that a knife? This is a knife!". Probably because the use of "that" for both knives would make the proper quote a bit confusing out of context.
Classic Movie, Commercial Sequel: In 2018, the American-born son of Crocodile Dundee visited Australia for the first time in Dundee: The Son of a Legend Returns Home, a Tourism Australia ad inspired by the film and presaged by a series of faux trailers designed to make it appear a Crocodile Dundee film sequel was in the works.

Brian: Wait, hold on. This isn't a movie.
Chris: No.
Brian: It's a tourism ad for Australia.

Hey, It's That Guy!: Carl Winslow / Al Powell is Gus!
Romance on the Set: Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski eventually got married.
Unintentional Period Piece: The World Trade Center can be seen in almost every exterior shot in the American scenes, and the last Checker A11 was retired from service in 1999.
What Could Have Been: At one point the idea of the third Beverly Hills Cop movie being a Crossover with Crocodile Dundee.
