The film stars Brendan Fraser as the cartoon's titular Mountie with supporting roles from Sarah Jessica Parker, Alfred Molina, and Eric Idle.

Dudley is now a Mountie upholding the law in Semi-Happy Valley, but always adheres to the rules and is frequently oblivious to even the most obvious of things; and Snidely has become an infamous bank robber.

Dudley catches him in the act, but Snidely fools him into thinking he is vampire hunting, and uses a similar tactic to scare away Horse.

Nell returns from her world tour and reunites with Dudley, and the two spend the night attending a festival at a settlement belonging to the nearby Kumquat tribe.

Feeling sympathy for Dudley, Kim subjects him to a harsh training regimen to make him a more formidable opponent and take back Semi-Valley from Snidely.

Disguised as a motorbike-driving vigilante, Dudley sabotages the shipment and leaves his mark on Snidely's workshop as well as his favorite golf course.

Kim also arrives with his wife, the Prime Minister of Canada (Jessica Schreier), and is reunited with Dudley, revealing that they called out the cavalry.

Beyond the sure-fire goofy presence of Brendan Fraser and the comic possibilities of a Canadian mountie who rides his horse backward, this jokey romp written and directed by Hugh Wilson has an appealing try-anything spirit.

It's a movie that can start with Mr. Fraser buttoned into his stiff red uniform and have him dancing shirtless in a Las Vegas-style Indian act before its story is over".

[11] Chicago Sun-Times critic Roger Ebert gave the film a two and a half stars out of four, writing: "Dudley Do-Right is a genial live-action version of the old cartoon, with a lot of broad slapstick humor that kids like and adults wince at.

I did a little wincing the ninth or tenth time Dudley stepped on a loose plank and it slammed him in the head, but I enjoyed the film more than I expected to.
