Actor Paul Hogan has forced an Australian burger chain to cough up $10,000 for charity after he tried to sue them for using one of his most famous lines.
The original Crocodile Dundee made an application in the Federal Court in December accusing Grill'd of misleading or deceptive conduct.
The company used a variation of the line "That's not a knife … that's a knife" from the 1986 movie on the sleeve of their cutlery.
The case was scheduled for a hearing on Friday but has been settled.
Grill'd has agreed to donate $10,000 to Cure Cancer Australia. Mr Hogan is an ambassador for the organisation.
It's understood that was the entire sum of the settlement.
"We are pleased to have settled this issue with Paul Hogan and proud to donate the money to Cure Cancer and such a worthwhile cause," Grill'd managing director Simon Crowe said in a statement to AAP on Monday.
It comes as the 78-year-old appeared in a new Crocodile Dundee-inspired tourism commercial that aired during the Super Bowl in the United States.
It is part of a multi-million dollar Tourism Australia campaign targeting American travellers, featuring the likes of Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman and Margot Robbie.
