Gulpilil was transcendent in The Last Wave with Richard Chamberlain in 1977, a critically acclaimed Peter Weir film.

 

Gulpilil had a guest appearance in Paul Hogan's Crocodile Dundee in 1987 -- a role in which he had the opportunity to display his skill at traditional dancing. Unfortunately, he was paid a flat rate for the job and did not benefit from the film's multi-million dollar revenue.
