CROCODILE DUNDEE, A REFLECTION

When I was a kid, I loved that “Crocodile Dundee.”

I’m pretty sure that we must have recorded on VHS from HBO,

my brothers and I would watch it, over and over.

I had never seen the cover art though, only the movie.

At some point, when I first saw the image on the display box in the video store or the supermarket,

I remember thinking, “What the fuck is Crocodile Dundee doing between two jukeboxes?”

I never got close enough to really get a good look at the cover,

so for a long time,

I mean, probably into my late teens or early twenties,

I always thought the cover picture was of him standing between these two jukeboxes.

I don’t remember when I finally figured out that he was being portrayed as some sort of skyscraper bending giant,

but I did.

Though, whenever I see that picture,

I still think about those jukeboxes and wonder what they have to do with the movie.
