    Production company Rimfire Films issued a statement ahead of the Encore Cut’s debut noting that “some years ago, Paramount Pictures and other distributors requested the reference to the crossdresser be edited from the original film, as they found it offensive. We agreed to that request”.

    There’s another joke on a similar theme later on in the movie that’s said to have been excised, that’s basically Mick Dundee groping someone.

        I saw the headline and immediately knew what scene they had cut. I remember almost nothing about the movie, since I haven’t seen it since I was 13 years old, but I remember that scene.
