When Dennis Hopper’s son asked him why he made the Mario movie he said, “so you could afford shoes, son”. His son responded, “dad I didn’t need shoes that bad”

I don't think Nintendo would allow it

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

There have been a few making-of documentaries about it. Basically, everyone hated working on it and half the cast was drunk while filming. Dennis Hopper just rolled with it, stopped reading the script, and stole the show as the most entertaining part of the whole mess.

[@Charles12]

theres a making of documentary on the blu ray release. i guess this movie is so atrotious to hollyowod that no executive or Nintendo wants to event think about it anymore.

[@Gn0ki]

"Nintendo hating everyone" sums up their entire existence perfectly

[@vizthex]

lmao, for real.

[@johnclark926]

There’s a lot I love about the 1993 Mario movie, both ironically and unironically, but one of the more obscure things I love is Shigeru Miyamoto’s review of the movie. In a 2007 interview, Miyamoto said "The one thing that I still have some regrets about is that the movie may have tried to get a little too close to what the Mario Bros. videogames were. And in that sense, it became a movie that was about a videogame, rather than being an entertaining movie in and of itself." Yes. According to Miyamoto, the failing of the Mario movie was not how far removed from the source material, but how *close* it was. The fact that Miyamoto is supposedly close to the new Mario movie makes me both very excited and concerned on what his idea of a distanced Mario movie will be like.

[@TheRedCap30]

Continuing the cyberpunk theme of this movie, the Mario movie will be like Blade Runner 2049

[@machina_spirit]

Lmaooo no way, how the fuck was that his takeaway?! Haha well Miyamoto is and always was an interesting character. Maybe he was on the same shrooms he took to create the original Super Mario Bros games when he watched the movie? Only way to explain how he thought it was too accurate to the games (again how the fuck did he??)

[@BadringerGronger]

I bet he didn’t see the movie

@@pwabd2784 badass child, I respect that

[@factsnfeatures]

I honestly thought this movie was completely normal as a child.

[@seacreacherdiet]

@@factsnfeatures it kinda makes me think of a lot of the early 2000's kid's films, like Cat in the Hat and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, they had such bizarre themes and were deeply steeped in weird fashion trends of the time, the late 90's and early 2000's are deffo a weird time in children's programming cozza all that, but to everyone growing up it was kinda just normal until they grew up and went "huh, that was weird" -- cheers!

[@whazzup_teacup]

Honestly the Yoshi is really good compared to every other non-human character.

[@cinemint]

The Yoshi is the only thing I legitimately like

[@MexicanDragon2000]

3:12 - 3:52 Fun fact: That's actually supposed to be Pauline from the Donkey Kong arcade game. In fact, her full name is "Daniella Pauline Verducci". Peach doesn't exist in this movie. More specifically, she was fused with Daisy because at the time, Peach's English name was Toadstool. And the executives said "We can't market this shit" and scrapped her in favor of Daisy.

[@SleepyAdam]

I really enjoyed this movie as a kid. Like yeah it's not faithful to the games and the production being so nasty sorta makes it uncomfortable, but I found it really fun with the crazy ass Blade Runner Koopa city, Dennis Hopper, the ridiculous but still pretty endearing design of the Goombas, the super scope guns with all those really fun VFX, the jump boots, the bob-omb with the branded shoes, the lady Bob Hoskins practically motorboats to get the rock back, fungus dad. Like a lot of this film I could recount from memory which I can't say about a lot of crappy licensed book or video game movie adaptations I've seen in my life, and I'm like 90% sure I'm not gonna be able to say that about the Illumination film when it comes out.

[@machina_spirit]

Same, this whole video was nostalgia hit after nostalgia hit. Like yeah the movie made 0 sense and nothing like the games to even dumb kid me, but some how the weird stuff and wannabe Bladerunner aesthetics made it all the more memorable I guess lol

[@jaredbond7908]

People need to understand: This was incredibly cool as a kid. I honestly thought it was rated R or something.

[@afterdinnercreations936]

I was 11 when I watched this for the first time, on DVD. It almost instantly bored me.

[@JerekBilbar]

Exactly the video I wanted to see. For some reason.

[@Diwasho]

Everyone in the movie is like a gross humanoid gritty realistic parody of themselves, and then there's Bob-Omb... The ONE character they decided to keep accurate to the games if freaking Bob-omb of all people, I can't even.

I'll never forgive them for not giving my boy Lou Albano a shot at the big screen

[@notsyzagts7967]

@@smbsuperfan271 Yeah, because he defined an existing Mario character on-screen in the Super Mario Super Show. Using an established version of him would've been a smarter choice for casting the movie.

[@munaq-jp]

I was under the impression that I had watched the entire movie when I was a kid. But now half of it feels completely new. I guess I glossed over some parts or I suppressed them because of trauma.

[@jadenrobertshaw3545]

Was talking about this movie on the phone with my dad. I hung up the call, open youtube, and this video is the first thing on my recommended. Get. Out. Of. My. Head.

[@JeremySharpSMSG]

Google listens bro!!

[@theshlauf]

Man, even though I watched this a few times on TV I had forgotten like 99% of this movie. Every scene was shot in that same dark, depressing, bland, grungy bladerunner set so most of the movie kind of blends together for me. The only thing that stuck with me from that movie was the meat and veggies scene. Toad comes in with this plate of raw meat, Daisy says she's a vegetarian, and asks if there's chance for a plate of steamed veggies. Toad later comes back with nice plate of veggies. As a kid I thought that was a great bit of world building to show that in a world of dinosaurs meals are prepared for both carnivores and herbivores. Also that plate of veggies was probably the most colorful thing in the movie

[@stellviahohenheim]

Do you know that most of the animals you labelled as meat eaters would eat vegetables too? And herbivores will totally eat meat if they have access to it.

[@keinname2481]

god i want a second part so bad...one that goes full termiantor ripoff

[@TheRguru1]

With the new mario movie coming out you won't have to wait much longer.

[@brandonspain12345]

Fun fact: The director of the movie confirmed the movie is actually a PREQUEL to the 1985 NES game. That's why the movie ends that way. Mario, Luigi, and Daisy would go back to the Mushroom Kingdom which evolved to what we all are familiar with, Koopa evolved to Bowser and Mario meets his own girlfriend which is Peach. So if you really want a second part so bad, chance are you already seen it. Or played it. 😂

[@thecianinator]

@@brandonspain12345 The directors of this movie are both lying frauds that never worked in Hollywood again. Also some of the writers of this movie started working on a comic book adaptation of their idea for the sequel. They never finished it but you can read what they did make online, it's pretty good. It's based on Super Mario Bros 2, there are Shyguys who are dudes with gas masks and Wart is in it, and he's a big fat human man covered in moles.

[@mafiousbj]

This is a classic tale of a director that wanted to make their own movie no matter the franchise they are involved rather than respecting the framework of said franchise...pretty much like Wes Anderson does with everything he touches from Capcom...but at least this movie is ironically funny

[@Traumaqueenamy]

I was an obsessed 11 year old Mario fan when this came out. I had the original NES at the time and played the three original Super Mario Bros. games a lot as well as watched the The Super Mario Bros Super Show and Adventures Of Super Mario Bros. 3. When the Super Mario Bros. movie came out it was the first time a video game movie adaptation had been made so there was no notion of how it would be. I saw it in theaters when it came out and actually enjoyed it even though it was different from how the characters looked in artwork from the official game art. Keep in mind that the video games of the time were shown in 8 bit and 16 bit pixels so a lot was left to the imagination. I wasn't even aware of the films infamous and bad reputation until the 2010s. Even though I understand it's flaws that it's not considered a good movie I still have a nostalgic fondness for it. I still have my old VHS tape copy of the movie all these years. It does seem to have a cult following now.

[@SuperFranzs]

You forgot about the amazing musical score to this film.

And get rid of the dinosaur de-evolve stuff and maybe peach is the girl they need to save from a crime boss/ evil king who wants to conquer the mushroom kingdom. like bruh we got the crack head universe edition.
