The movie being filmed was Crocodile Dundee-2 starring Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski. It was released in 1988 so the filming probably took place in 1987. The location was supposed to be Rico’s (the bad guy) villa but was actually filmed at “Eagle’s Nest”, Willie K.‘s Centerport estate.

Croc was a good man.
I especially liked the scene where the guy tried to rob him with a small knife and Croc pulled out his huge one and scared the pants off the bad guy !!!
I seem to recall a scene where Paul Hogan pulls the TV (?) antenna off the trunk of the Lincoln limousine and throws it like a boomerang. I thought that was such improbable fantasy…
