Ever since the first "trailer" for the Danny McBride-starring Crocodile Dundee reboot dropped a week ago, there have been persistent rumours that it was really just a clever, extremely convincing tourism advert for Australia.

Sadly, this was finally confirmed at the Super Bowl, with the curtain being pulled back to make it abundantly clear that Dundee is not a real movie.

It was an expert troll, though, and it's entirely possible that the wildly positive online response to the premise could actually result in it being made in the near-future.

The Super Bowl spot also gets extra points for actually bringing original star Paul Hogan along for the ride, who sneers at McBride when Chris Hemsworth calls him "the best Crocodile Dundee since Crocodile Dundee".

Make it happen, Hollywood.
