I agree that Crocodile Dundee is certainly not a national hero here, but fwiw the movie was directed by an Aussie, written by 3 Aussies, starred a bunch of Aussies, shot by an Aussie, scored by an Aussie, and produced by a company that as far as I can tell is Australian, under Australian film union (e.g. Actors' Equity of Australia) rules. Its setting was in both Australia and America. It was distributed in America by an American company, as well as by a second American company internationally, but distributed in Australia by an Aussie company.

I think it's at least fair to say it was an Australian/American film, rather than a straight-up American Hollywood production.
