Throughout the decade , he appeared on British TV in advertisements for Foster 's Lager , in which he played an earthy Australian abroad in London . The character 's most notable line ( spoken incredulously at a ballet performance ) " Struth , there 's a bloke down there with no strides on ! " , followed Hogan for years , and the popularity of its " fish out of water " humour was repeated with his next endeavour . In another advertisement from the same Foster 's series , Hogan 's character is approached in a London Tube station by a Japanese tourist who asks , ' Do you know the way to Cockfosters ? ' ( referring to an area in North London ) , to which Hogan replies ( with a puzzled look on his face ) : " Drink it warm , mate . " Hogan 's breakout role was that of Mick " Crocodile " Dundee in the 1986 film '' Crocodile Dundee '' . Hogan also co-wrote the movie , which was a massive critical and commercial success in many countries . He won the 1987 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy and was also nominated for Best Actor at the BAFTAs . The screenplay was nominated for an Academy Award , a BAFTA and a Saturn Award . Along with Chevy Chase and Goldie Hawn , Hogan co-hosted the 59th Academy Awards , also in 1987 . Hogan again portrayed Mick Dundee in the sequel '' Crocodile Dundee II '' , released in 1988 . Hogan was also executive producer and co-writer with his son , Brett . Although less popular than the first '' Crocodile Dundee '' film with critics , it was also a commercial success . The character made him popular in the United States , with phrases like , " That 's not a knife ... '' that 's '' a knife ! " entering the lexicon , though Hogan was troubled that the character was perceived as a cross between Chuck Norris and John Rambo , and turned down roles similar to those due to their violent nature , commenting : In the early 1990s , a Paramount executive pitched a concept of a '' Crocodile Dundee '' / '' Beverly Hills Cop '' crossover movie . Hogan refused the starring role in the hit film '' Ghost '' , choosing instead to make '' Almost an Angel '' ( 1990 ) . In 1994 Hogan co-produced , wrote and starred in the Western comedy film '' Lightning Jack '' . In 1996 Hogan starred in a remake of the 1963 film '' Flipper '' , a family-friendly movie about a dolphin . In 1998 he co-starred in the made-for-TV drama '' Floating Away '' , an adaptation of the Tim Sandlin book '' Sorrow Floats '' . Hogan played ' Shane ' , a recovering alcoholic
