The Frighteners. I don't know what the internet says about it, but my family does not really get its appeal. Also, Raggedy Anne and Andy: A Musical Adventure is an insane movie and I love it and it's been completely buried in history. (Not to be confused with the animated show.)
Black Nerd Comedy xmen origin Wolverine. Also there is a french youtuber nickname 100pseudo who love also the super mario bros movie so you aren't alone.
One of the most BRILLIANT things about this film is the technology: They drive ELECTRIC taxi because they don't use FOSSIL FUELS because dinosaurs never died and made fossil fuel. Brilliant.
This is what a movie so bad it's good looks like. I think the acting really helps, in some respects. They had well-honed masters of their craft, and it's clear they're just trying to have some fun.
We're the Mario Brothers, and plumbing's our game. We're not like the others who get all the fame. If your sink is in trouble, you can call us on the double. We're faster than the others, you'll be hooked on the brothers

I was obsessed with this film when I was younger. I saw it 6 times at the theatre! Now I obviously realise its terrible, but still have a strange love for it
If you were to say you didn't like it, I'd be alright with that because all film is subjective but to say it's terrible like it's an objective fact makes me have to question why do you think that?
Entertainment is entertainment! I love Wayne’s World and watch it regularly. Why? No clue. Is it bad? Maybe. It’s not great, but it hits the nail for me!
"Now I obviously realise its terrible" What's this 'obvious' shit? Mario 1993 is still the best Mario movie of all time, in my opinion. Mario 2023 plays it too safe and brings nothing new to the franchise. Mario 1993 was pure soul.
I really like it too. People have to remember this movie was made before there was a huge storyline it was just Mario/Luigi saving the Princess from Bowser. The thing I was most upset about was the fact that Luigi didn’t have a mustache.
Its not like mario has a huge storyline now a days. Aside from the RPGS, every adventure is mostly the same, just piling on the games gimmick in some way
@@MagillanicaLouM Mario is kind of like Mickey Mouse--they can use him as an actor and slot him into all sorts of roles, though as a consequence, he doesn't have a hugely well-defined personality aside from being cheerful, helpful and brave.
I hadn't thought of the Mickey Mouse angle for describing the Mario franchise. But it's true. Anyway, these comments were pretty much my line of thinking as well. As much as it can be argued that the movie's delivery really butchered the source material, the source material that they had available to work with while coming up with the movie wasn't really all that substantial to begin with anyway. It was pretty standard and simplistic stuff (hero / villain / damsel in distress, with little to no dialogue or lore as we race through a series of colorful cartoony backgrounds), especially if we consider that what we westerners knew as "Super Mario Bros. 2" was actually a re-skin of a completely different game and what was released in Japan as the second game was actually just more of the exact same style as the first game. (Later released for us with the title "Super Mario Bros: Lost Levels".) It has taken decades for the franchise to grow beyond the first few 2D platformers to also include entire series of 3D platformers and RPGs and sports games and party games and racing games and whatever else. They do still keep things on the simple side for the platformers, but there's an overall total effect from the existence of all these different things in the franchise that make Mario's world seem so much larger and so much more complex today than it ever did back then.
As a kid, especially in North America, this movie felt almost like a natural extension of the lore as we knew it. Due to the localization and instruction manuals, for all we knew, the first Super Mario Bros. game (combined with the arcade Mario Bros. game as a "prequel") were about 1.) Two plumber brothers who 2.) Were Italian and came from Brooklyn and 3.) Travel to an alternate world through a pipe and fight lizard-like monsters to 4.) Save a princess from a lizard tyrant. This was especially reinforced by the cartoon where they put on gruff, Brooklyn accents instead of the happy, lighthearted "wahooo!" Italian voice of Martinet later on. From those four facts you can extrapolate a movie that features: 1. Actual plumbers who use tools and fix broken pipes, 2. Are from Brooklyn, 3. Travel to an alternate dimension in an underground portal, and 4. Save a princess from a tyrant who is descended from the Tyrannosaurus Rex. Not to mention that Super Mario World featured "Dinosaur Land" which made the dinosaur connection even stronger. ...It was a weird adaptation but it doesn't strike you as *that* weird when you're that young and have so little story from the games to go off of.
What's a Goomba? "Short thing, tiny body, giant head." Great! Make them jacked, 7 feet tall, and with tiny heads! I love this insane movie, and Bob Hoskins spouting tool philosophy.
It was so absurd, but it was so much fun! Back in the day it just made sense at the time on how to do such a franchise live action... Plus, I had a thing for John Leguizamo...
I love the mario bros movie. It had charm, sense of humour, good imagination for being 90's, good special effects for its time. first time seeing yoshi in screen. :D
Yeah, it fails to live up to being a Mario movie, especially back then, given the limited plot perspective options available, but it is still an endearing, harmless movie. I understand canon adherents who get upset with it, though.

There's really a lot that's straight out of the games.. it's just, well for one thing, at the time a lot of us kids didn't KNOW that stuff yet. Like if all you're going to do is give a random character the (localized) name of an enemy... that's probably not going to hit. I mean I TRIED reading instruction manuals whenever possible, but I got a lot of used games and I was definitely the oddball with most kids just making up their own names for enemies and not learning any of the lore. I didn't know 'spike' or 'big bertha'
@@elfascisto6549 not really, and again he didn't have specific last name. He was just called Mario. The same way Charlie Nash was just called Nash in Japan until recently.
@@BlackNerdComedy my friends and I had a whole discussion about Mario Bros Double Dragon and a few others that lots of people don't like but we still found entertaining. Can't go with other people's opinions. A few recent movies and I won't mention which that everyone hyped up and praised and when I finally gave in and watched by the end I was like 😑
The props and sets are great. I love the scene where it looks like they were going to face a firing squad only for the guys to have gun-shaped cameras instead of actual guns. The cars are electric because there are no fossil fuels in that dimension. Its an amazing mashup of well thought out and terrible.
I loved this movie as a kid and revisiting it as an adult years later I was surprised to learn that I still enjoyed it! It's a fun movie and Dennis Hopper's campy performance is one of the best parts of it. It is so quotable. I wish I knew someone that had as much love for this movie as I do so that I could quote with them back and forth. Lol. I have definitely gotten the side eye when I have told people I like the movie but it doesn't change how I feel about it.
Lina Inverse I can because I have zero investment in Dragonball. So, I can appreciate the terrible acting, the cave that leads to the top of a volcano, and troll end credits scene.
"Hard effort 'F' " is probably one of the top 5 favorite quotes of this year. I love this movie. I never saw it in theaters, but it was one of those movies that you always caught 15 minutes in while channel surfing during on the weekend. I watched it for the last time maybe 8 or 9 years ago with my friend and had a blast. We dubbed the aesthetic 'BumperPunk' because the vehicles looked like bumper cars.
Everything you've said is exactly why I love this movie. My high school students found out it existed and tried to make it a bad meme, and I was like, "No, do not hate on my movie." It legit is one of my favorite "bad" films. Best line for me: "Sir, the goombas are dancing again." The dispatcher is so bored, like this happens all the time!
Andre I am with you. I genuinely still love that movie. Its underrated. Its hilarious. Its not even THAT bad. I wanted a sequel at the end okay. Daisy was great!
I just checked Google to see if the name "Mario" exists as a FAMILY name in real life anywhere. Apparently, it DOES. Although at first Google just wanted to show me articles about Super Mario Bros.
The issue with that logic latest obsession is that Mario was called Mario before Luigi was around. Meaning it would make more sense for that to be just his first and only name at the time. With them deciding to make Mario a last name once they gave him a brother.
A few facts I found out about this movie: * The cars in the movie run on electricity, because fossil fuels are very rare in the dinosaur city. The cars also would have had park benches for seats as shown in the concept art, but ultimately was not included in the film. * According to the concept art of the map, Dinohattan takes place in Sarasaland. * The guy who did the Thief and the Cobbler Recobled Cut is helping with making the extended version of the SMB movie.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Wasn't my cup of tea but not hating on anyone who enjoyed it. Your perspective makes me want to watch it again. As bad as it was, it's still better than any Uwe Boll video game adaptation. Lol
SPOILER that scene where they cut off the finger with a cigarrcutter thing tho... I literally had nightmares but at the same time some kind of fascination with it
When I first saw the movie I was pretty young and thought for the longest time it was just a fever dream or my imagination. I had no idea it was associated with Super Mario Bros! It was so much fun though and I've always really loved it
I'm glad I'm not alone in this! There's something about it that just really sparks nostalgia in me. I have so many special memories of this movie. I discovered it when I was living with my great-grandma one summer as a kid and I watched it almost every day. She was very tolerant because she did not throw the TV out the window on day 4.
It was made before the era where your only game in town was the big-budget brainless blockbusters or the small independent artistic passion projects. You could just go into the town, check a movie, and enjoy it or hate it for no good reason. The cultural zeitgeist was still in effect.
"Don't Trust The Fungus. Winners don't do Shrooms. Even though the Super Mushrooms from Super Mario Bros. are NOT actually based on Hallucegenitic Drugs." 🍄 A Message from the FDA. But seriously, I respect your opinion Andre.
Man, I'm with ya! There is literally a scene where a cop at his desk has a hooker digging her heel into his shoulder while he casually talks to the bros!! Like WTF! Movies batshit and I love it.
This is a guilty movie....I thought it was ok....it's should called something else... Nintendo will never claim it that's why it's not on no streaming unless u have VHS/DVD
It's amazing we never got a zelda movie back in that golden age of 80s fantasy. I think it was actually a bit too late by the time Zelda really caught on, and didn't have much of a story until late '91.. but it's funny, whenever Andre points out this movie is sort of a good movie on its own but then you get reminded 'oh yeah this is supposed to be Mario' it makes you think about that movie Legend.. which was not meant to be a zelda movie, but honestly could have passed for one. at least as well as this movie passed for Mario.
One of my favorite bits from the movie is when Daisy mentions to a goomba that she's a vegetarian, and later the goomba brings her a plate of vegetables! Actually so sweet!
Me and my kids love that movie too. "I Got the Power" was also in the Lego Ninjago Movie. A meteor hitting the earth and creating an alternate dimension for dinosaurs was the plot of Bakuryū Sentai Abaranger, the source material for Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. Lol we do need movie shows. Movies I love that other people hate: all the DC Snyderverse films.
Reasons I like the Super Mario Bros. movie: 1. Luigi and Daisy as a couple, before it was cool. 2. Joe Satriani. That ice slide theme music is worth it by itself. 3. Daisy packing a fireball rifle at the end, it just works. With that having been said, no I do not want to see older versions of the script, because the fact that the "child friendly rewrite" is the one in which Yoshi gets stabbed scares the hell out of me. So, until next time, Andre... DO THE MARIO!!!
You captured my experience with this movie too. *something something YOSHI!* it me. I think I cajoled my parents into letting me see this movie in theaters. I was 9...
This was actually one of my favorite movies, they had triple hit actors, I remember looking at this as a kid like wtf is going on!!!. And even as a kid that part where Mario had to face plant that lady's chesticles to get the meteorite, what a bad ass move, Mario was slick.
I remember when I was a kid in the early 2000’s , someone told me there was a Super Mario Bros. Movie, and it blew my mind. I asked my dad to rent it for me and some how our local Blockbuster had it and I probably watched it four times in one weekend. I rented it multiple times and forced all of my friends to watch it. I was obsessed with this movie and I don’t know why.
When someone wanted to make a kids movie starring two drunk actors,a pot head as the villain and production design that combines Ghostbusters,Blade Runner,Total Recall and Tim Burton´s Batman... That is the perfect movie to see stoned. I love it !
I've never wanted to get stoned and I don't want to be stoned ever but as soon as I first saw some footage from the movie I did get an urge to just to experience it to its fullest potential
I sometimes don't enjoy the same movies/shows that you do, Andre, but I always enjoy listening to you talking about them! Your passion and charisma is why I'm subscribed.
Every so often, completely at random, I'll get that carnival-sounding music when the Mario Bros are driving to work in my head. It is the goofiest music in the movie to me, and I just... I love it so much. This whole movie is a gem, but that one song gets me. xD
People get to like what they like. Everything you said, made sense. How do you make Super Mario movie? The best they could. Now let's talk about new or remake. Because I enjoy the hell outta Sonic.
Still love this movie today. And that post credits scene when Nintendo shows up wanting "to make a video game based on your many adventures. All we need is a name."
Love what you love man! Seeing people talk about stuff they like and are passionate about is way more fun than another a-hole ranting about how something sucks (I mean, both can be entertaining). I feel you Andre, I like the 90's American Godzilla! Also: kudos for the new intro!
I personally have always loved this movie Honestly, I always loved how creative they were trying to make an entire world for this film, the nonstop references in the background demands multiple views, love the cast, heck even the soundtrack is great My one complaint is the goombas, had they called them koopas I wouldn't have any problem but it would've been confusing with King Koopa and his army of Koopas But again I love how out of left field this film is and just how off it is, I may need to watch it again now
Dude I love this movie. I also didn't even know it was a mario movie for the longest time, I just thought it was just this really wacky cool movie. I really enjoyed all the weird characters and slime fungus and items like the bob bomb. Even when I started knowing what mario was and playing video games I still think it was a while before it clicked because the movie is just so different, then suddenly one day like it just came together like a memory of the scene of them saying their names "I'm mario mario, and he's luigi mario" popped into my head, and I was just like no....way.... I really want to see it again, I can't remember if I've seen it since, but I still have pretty clear fond memories of this movie.
Thank you! The way I explain it is this: I love that movie, the same way some people like fanfic/slashfic or memes. It has very little to do with the origin source, but what you love is the display of creativity.
To this day, I love the part where they’re giving their names and Luigi says “yeah, Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.” That made me laugh so hard. I too have a soft spot for this movie
I wish the big N would have given us a SUPER MARIO BROS movie alt skins for Mario, Luigi, Toad, Peach, Bower with Mario and Luigi getting the boots from the giving an extra jump boost.
THANK YOU! I love this movie. I love how dark it is. I love that it focuses on Daisy. I love that it takes place in New York. I even have all of the old action figures still. Mario, Luigi, Iggy, Spike, Koopa and Goomba
I took my brother to go see this in theaters and I remember before I went to see it I watched Entetainement Tonight and there was a interview with Bob Hoskins and that got me hiped. Look people can trash this movie all they want but it is 100 times better then half of the video game movies that came after. Look bob Hoskins is iconic, he was also Mr. Sme in hook, and that was so iconic a role he came back to play Mr. Sme in the Scifi channel Neverland show. How much source material do you realy need: he was a plumber who went to another dimension and there is goombas what else do you need.
So many people claim to absolutely hate this film but I guarantee if they made a direct sequel to this nowadays they'd see it in theaters. Even if just to see if it's as crazy as the first.
Andre, in the 90s here in Brazil we had many vhs rental stores and the mario brothers' film was very common to find for rent. my brother and I rented this movie every month and we grew up watching this bad movie, which we knew had nothing to do with the games, but that was adorable, lovely and fun. very cool to know that more people in the world share this feeling!
The behind-the-scenes of this movie is really fascinating. Like the how and why it came to be like it is. Same Thing with Blade Trinity, if not more so.
My guilty pleasure movie is Felix the Cat (1988). I remember loving this film so much as a kid, and everyone (but my dad) hating it. The "Duke of Zill" song still gets stuck in my head.
Dude. I LOVE this movie. LOVE LOVE LOVE. My brothers and I would watch it at least once a week. I feel like those of us who were younger when the movie came out have a better opinion of it than most because we just knew it was fun.
I've always enjoyed this movie as well. It's bonkers as all get out, but there's just something about it that I've always liked. If you didn't know- the narrator at the beginning is Dan (Homer Simpson) Casellaneta, and the King that wad the fungus(Daisy's father) is Lance Henriksen
I always enjoy this movie! It is crazy (and feels like I’m watching a Total Recall spin-off) but it is a different take for sure! My favorite guilty pleasure is always and forever Wayne’s World! Though I would argue that the movie is pretty good! (Edited:spelling)
Ya hit the nail right on the head. I think the SMB movie is a lot like Godzilla 98. Both movies probably would have been remembered more fondly now if they were named something else. Cause aside from being anything like their source material they're actually pretty fun.
As far as I'm concerned your love for this movie proves you are a man of culture. I have this glorious mess on DVD, and I have nothing but love for it. There was not that much story in the games, especially then, and their wild reinvention of the material was so original that I have to give it props. Some nights were simply made for a double feature of this and Roger Rabbit.
I would truly say that this movie is my guilty pleasure. About 15 years ago - ish.. my brother and I were OBSESSED with everything Super Mario and we found the Super Mario Bro’s Movie on early UA-cam and watched the heck out of it. We didn’t know it was bad or anything, we just watched it and had a good time. I was really confused, but then they had mushrooms and a bomb omb and YOSHI! And like you said, “it got me.”
Back in my kid days, I was on the Mario hype train during SNES era with Mario World and the cartoon series got me really hook up and came the movie and I like it. I was only a kid who didn't know better until I rewatch the movie and how odd it was. But it still get the Nostalgic out of me and still own the VHS & DVD
It took me half an hour to find anybody who loves this movie as much as me lol. It’s awesome! One of my all-time favorites. The cinematography is the best part, the whole city, the weird goombas, flying shoes, the outfits for Mario and Luigi... I think people expected it to be more like the game. Underground classic.
My peoples!!!!!! I also loved that movie, as did my friends. I remember not caring if it was or wasn't like the source material, I thought the split dimension/dinos evolved in to humanoid beings/ fungus growing EVERYWHERE was really neat! 10 year old me was like "what if though?!" lol ... and I had a crush on John Leguizamo which might've colored my perspective too
The thing that got to me about the movie's teaser towards a possible sequel was the question it raises about where they could have possibly gone. I mean, there's the movie's premise of the reality-breaking meteor impact that shunted the dinos off into their own parallel copy of Earth. At some point in the movie while explaining this concept they showed off a globe of the dino planet which depicted it as having their dirty little trash heap of a city being the ONLY oasis among a planetary desert wasteland. That doesn't seem like it leaves any room to introduce anything new. They'd only have that city to work with.
Do any of you have a movie like this? A movie that's bad, everyone says it's bad, YOU know it's bad... but you still like it? Reply with your guilty pleasure!
The Frighteners. I don't know what the internet says about it, but my family does not really get its appeal. Also, Raggedy Anne and Andy: A Musical Adventure is an insane movie and I love it and it's been completely buried in history. (Not to be confused with the animated show.)

@@BlackNerdComedy my friends and I had a whole discussion about Mario Bros Double Dragon and a few others that lots of people don't like but we still found entertaining. Can't go with other people's opinions. A few recent movies and I won't mention which that everyone hyped up and praised and when I finally gave in and watched by the end I was like 😑
Who else like movies?
The props and sets are great. I love the scene where it looks like they were going to face a firing squad only for the guys to have gun-shaped cameras instead of actual guns. The cars are electric because there are no fossil fuels in that dimension. Its an amazing mashup of well thought out and terrible.
It’s ok I still like Howard the Duck no matter what people say please don’t hunt me down 😂😅
Me too! Howard the duck was awesome
You shut your dirty mouth! Howard is awesome. :)
Already have your location!
Howard the Duck is my childhood and I love it❤️😆
I own it on DVD. It's a classic. Lol.
I was today years old when I learned that Queen Latifah didn’t make the dinosaur song from ice age 3
Me too, haha, and I didn't knew that she was the one that sing the song in Ice Age 3
I'm having flashbacks to Enter the Dominatrix in Saints Row 4
Yea I’m in the same boat 🤔🤔
i really wish we could have gotten the sequel of it
There's a really good webcomic sequel out there
@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 I was just about to say that, but you beat me to it.
Imagine how they would have done the koopa kids!
You all should be drug tested lol. Just kidding
Amen.
I loved this movie as a kid and revisiting it as an adult years later I was surprised to learn that I still enjoyed it! It's a fun movie and Dennis Hopper's campy performance is one of the best parts of it. It is so quotable. I wish I knew someone that had as much love for this movie as I do so that I could quote with them back and forth. Lol. I have definitely gotten the side eye when I have told people I like the movie but it doesn't change how I feel about it.
This is like the definition of a “So Bad, It’s Good” flick (in my opinion)! 🤩
Too bad we y'all can't say the same for Dragon Ball Evolution. XD
Lina Inverse I can because I have zero investment in Dragonball. So, I can appreciate the terrible acting, the cave that leads to the top of a volcano, and troll end credits scene.
@@cjwrench07 it was basically Lord Of The Rings if it was written by monkeys...... Oh wait..... XD that's an insult to the monkeys! Lmfao
I don't think that's what they were trying to say lina.
"Hard effort 'F' " is probably one of the top 5 favorite quotes of this year. I love this movie. I never saw it in theaters, but it was one of those movies that you always caught 15 minutes in while channel surfing during on the weekend. I watched it for the last time maybe 8 or 9 years ago with my friend and had a blast. We dubbed the aesthetic 'BumperPunk' because the vehicles looked like bumper cars.
Oh what the hell. I liked the SMB movie. I find it charming.
Everything you've said is exactly why I love this movie. My high school students found out it existed and tried to make it a bad meme, and I was like, "No, do not hate on my movie." It legit is one of my favorite "bad" films. Best line for me: "Sir, the goombas are dancing again." The dispatcher is so bored, like this happens all the time!
Andre I am with you. I genuinely still love that movie. Its underrated. Its hilarious. Its not even THAT bad. I wanted a sequel at the end okay. Daisy was great!
I will say this is the first and only time we EVER learned Mario and Luigis last names LMAO
Mario was actually their last name on the Super Show before the movie.... and according to Nintendo, it's also canon to the games!
I just checked Google to see if the name "Mario" exists as a FAMILY name in real life anywhere. Apparently, it DOES. Although at first Google just wanted to show me articles about Super Mario Bros.
@Brian Cairns I suddenly feel like an idiot for not realizing that.
The issue with that logic latest obsession is that Mario was called Mario before Luigi was around. Meaning it would make more sense for that to be just his first and only name at the time. With them deciding to make Mario a last name once they gave him a brother.
I also love the movie, and not ironically.
A few facts I found out about this movie:
* The cars in the movie run on electricity, because fossil fuels are very rare in the dinosaur city. The cars also would have had park benches for seats as shown in the concept art, but ultimately was not included in the film.
* According to the concept art of the map, Dinohattan takes place in Sarasaland.
* The guy who did the Thief and the Cobbler Recobled Cut is helping with making the extended version of the SMB movie.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Wasn't my cup of tea but not hating on anyone who enjoyed it. Your perspective makes me want to watch it again. As bad as it was, it's still better than any Uwe Boll video game adaptation. Lol
Hey now. Postal is awesome. I love that movie, possibly more than Super Mario Bro’s.
This movie is perfect. It’s an icon. It’s perfect. I randomly think about this movie all the time for over 10 years. Throws kiss 💋 in the air
It’s really such a classic 😆😆
I ordered it on dvd after this
I love this movie too. I'm starting my first ever cosplay and you bet it's movie Mario.
Years ago, I felt like I shouldn't like this movie, but every single time it was on TV, I had to watch.
I absolutely love, love, love the Speed Racer movie. I have the DVD, and I have watched it multiple times. In fact, I'm going to watch it now. Lol
It's actually pretty close to the source material if you wanna ask me
Yes! Slapping theme retool, not a ton of time spent on the chimp, and Racer X still being pretty hot, how can you not?
SPOILER
that scene where they cut off the finger with a cigarrcutter thing tho... I literally had nightmares but at the same time some kind of fascination with it
That's because Speed Racer was dope and a nice update to the source material.
I have the dvd too!
I loved it. I've always loved it. The lack of a sequel is what taught me that life was unfair as a child.
I always REALLY wanted to know what happened. 😢
When I first saw the movie I was pretty young and thought for the longest time it was just a fever dream or my imagination. I had no idea it was associated with Super Mario Bros! It was so much fun though and I've always really loved it
I'm glad I'm not alone in this! There's something about it that just really sparks nostalgia in me. I have so many special memories of this movie. I discovered it when I was living with my great-grandma one summer as a kid and I watched it almost every day.
She was very tolerant because she did not throw the TV out the window on day 4.
It was made before the era where your only game in town was the big-budget brainless blockbusters or the small independent artistic passion projects. You could just go into the town, check a movie, and enjoy it or hate it for no good reason. The cultural zeitgeist was still in effect.
"Don't Trust The Fungus. Winners don't do Shrooms. Even though the Super Mushrooms from Super Mario Bros. are NOT actually based on Hallucegenitic Drugs." 🍄
A Message from the FDA.
But seriously, I respect your opinion Andre.
Man, I'm with ya! There is literally a scene where a cop at his desk has a hooker digging her heel into his shoulder while he casually talks to the bros!! Like WTF! Movies batshit and I love it.
"BATS!!!"
I bought the DVD a month or two ago. Didn't regret it! This movie wasn't THAT bad to me.
Tubi needs to jump onto this movie as well btw!
This movie seems like it would be perfect for cinematic yard sale that is Tubi.
This is hilarious.ive never heard so much positiveness about this movie.
It's a great movie to watch to laugh with
The film is charming. It delivers a great concept. If you look at it without the Mario mark, it can be an amazing film.
*The Resident Evil movies don't follow the source material and In my opinion they suck more than the Mario movie*
The first one was ok but as a massive RE game fan the rest were a grand disappointment.
This is a guilty movie....I thought it was ok....it's should called something else... Nintendo will never claim it that's why it's not on no streaming unless u have VHS/DVD
Bluray actually exists as well which is probably the definitive version by now.
I still remember the cartoon with the Mario Brothers and the Legend of Zelda back in the day.
It's amazing we never got a zelda movie back in that golden age of 80s fantasy. I think it was actually a bit too late by the time Zelda really caught on, and didn't have much of a story until late '91..
but it's funny, whenever Andre points out this movie is sort of a good movie on its own but then you get reminded 'oh yeah this is supposed to be Mario' it makes you think about that movie Legend.. which was not meant to be a zelda movie, but honestly could have passed for one. at least as well as this movie passed for Mario.

This is one of my favorite "bad video game movies." I was so happy when I found it on DVD.
One of my favorite bits from the movie is when Daisy mentions to a goomba that she's a vegetarian, and later the goomba brings her a plate of vegetables! Actually so sweet!
"I don't usually do that with bad movies,". The Road Chip and Nine Lives has entered the chat....
*Garfield has entered the chat*
So when are we getting a double dragon review commentary? That ones a classic.
"Double Dragon" definitely
Me and my kids love that movie too.
"I Got the Power" was also in the Lego Ninjago Movie.
A meteor hitting the earth and creating an alternate dimension for dinosaurs was the plot of Bakuryū Sentai Abaranger, the source material for Power Rangers: Dino Thunder.
Lol we do need movie shows.
Movies I love that other people hate: all the DC Snyderverse films.
Because you have good taste! 🤗
(I can’t help but love it, too...)
Reasons I like the Super Mario Bros. movie:
1. Luigi and Daisy as a couple, before it was cool.
2. Joe Satriani. That ice slide theme music is worth it by itself.
3. Daisy packing a fireball rifle at the end, it just works.
With that having been said, no I do not want to see older versions of the script, because the fact that the "child friendly rewrite" is the one in which Yoshi gets stabbed scares the hell out of me.
So, until next time, Andre...
DO THE MARIO!!!
You captured my experience with this movie too. *something something YOSHI!* it me.
I think I cajoled my parents into letting me see this movie in theaters. I was 9...
This was one of those movie's that my sister and i would get from Blockbuster regularly. I miss it and wish it was available Digitally.
It's okay to love crappy stuff we grew up with. Hell! I was a child of the 70's! Do you realize how much wonderful garbage was made back then!!!
Remember the 1990s VHS tapes that had the opening theme to HAPPY DAYS? What a time to be alive... ^_^
This was actually one of my favorite movies, they had triple hit actors, I remember looking at this as a kid like wtf is going on!!!. And even as a kid that part where Mario had to face plant that lady's chesticles to get the meteorite, what a bad ass move, Mario was slick.
Love this movie so much! I get "Walk the Dinosaur" stuck in my head all of the time, haha!
Same, when I hear the song it always reminds me of the movie
I remember when I was a kid in the early 2000’s , someone told me there was a Super Mario Bros. Movie, and it blew my mind. I asked my dad to rent it for me and some how our local Blockbuster had it and I probably watched it four times in one weekend. I rented it multiple times and forced all of my friends to watch it. I was obsessed with this movie and I don’t know why.
I did the same thing, but around 2005-2006.
When someone wanted to make a kids movie starring two drunk actors,a pot head as the villain and production design that combines Ghostbusters,Blade Runner,Total Recall and Tim Burton´s Batman...
That is the perfect movie to see stoned. I love it !
Tank Girl?
Go on lol
I've never wanted to get stoned and I don't want to be stoned ever but as soon as I first saw some footage from the movie I did get an urge to just to experience it to its fullest potential
I sometimes don't enjoy the same movies/shows that you do, Andre, but I always enjoy listening to you talking about them! Your passion and charisma is why I'm subscribed.
I love that movie!!! I know people hate on it but I enjoyed the hell out of it
Every so often, completely at random, I'll get that carnival-sounding music when the Mario Bros are driving to work in my head. It is the goofiest music in the movie to me, and I just... I love it so much. This whole movie is a gem, but that one song gets me. xD
Do a review about who framed Rodger rabbit. I want to see that review. I love that movie I'm a big fan of animation so please please please review it.
You also can't find "Moving" with Richard Pryor on streaming or dvd
So when is the New Mario Bros animated movie coming out?
September 2022
@Angel Gonzalez Lopez Oh OK 🙁 I can wait
@@munkyzzb7504 whenever the pandemic ceases out
People get to like what they like. Everything you said, made sense. How do you make Super Mario movie? The best they could. Now let's talk about new or remake. Because I enjoy the hell outta Sonic.
Still love this movie today. And that post credits scene when Nintendo shows up wanting "to make a video game based on your many adventures. All we need is a name."
Love what you love man! Seeing people talk about stuff they like and are passionate about is way more fun than another a-hole ranting about how something sucks (I mean, both can be entertaining). I feel you Andre, I like the 90's American Godzilla! Also: kudos for the new intro!
People in the ‘90’s: This movie sucks
People now: Perhaps I treated you too harshly
I personally have always loved this movie
Honestly, I always loved how creative they were trying to make an entire world for this film, the nonstop references in the background demands multiple views, love the cast, heck even the soundtrack is great
My one complaint is the goombas, had they called them koopas I wouldn't have any problem but it would've been confusing with King Koopa and his army of Koopas
But again I love how out of left field this film is and just how off it is, I may need to watch it again now
Dude I love this movie.
I also didn't even know it was a mario movie for the longest time, I just thought it was just this really wacky cool movie. I really enjoyed all the weird characters and slime fungus and items like the bob bomb. Even when I started knowing what mario was and playing video games I still think it was a while before it clicked because the movie is just so different, then suddenly one day like it just came together like a memory of the scene of them saying their names "I'm mario mario, and he's luigi mario" popped into my head, and I was just like no....way....
I really want to see it again, I can't remember if I've seen it since, but I still have pretty clear fond memories of this movie.
Thank you!
The way I explain it is this: I love that movie, the same way some people like fanfic/slashfic or memes. It has very little to do with the origin source, but what you love is the display of creativity.
Ok I need to watch this.
To this day, I love the part where they’re giving their names and Luigi says “yeah, Mario Mario and Luigi Mario.” That made me laugh so hard. I too have a soft spot for this movie
I wish the big N would have given us a SUPER MARIO BROS movie alt skins for Mario, Luigi, Toad, Peach, Bower with Mario and Luigi getting the boots from the giving an extra jump boost.
THANK YOU!
I love this movie. I love how dark it is. I love that it focuses on Daisy. I love that it takes place in New York.
I even have all of the old action figures still.
Mario, Luigi, Iggy, Spike, Koopa and Goomba
I took my brother to go see this in theaters and I remember before I went to see it I watched Entetainement Tonight and there was a interview with Bob Hoskins and that got me hiped. Look people can trash this movie all they want but it is 100 times better then half of the video game movies that came after. Look bob Hoskins is iconic, he was also Mr. Sme in hook, and that was so iconic a role he came back to play Mr. Sme in the Scifi channel Neverland show.
How much source material do you realy need: he was a plumber who went to another dimension and there is goombas what else do you need.
It’s my guilty pleasure. I love it too. It’s so bizarre.
So many people claim to absolutely hate this film but I guarantee if they made a direct sequel to this nowadays they'd see it in theaters. Even if just to see if it's as crazy as the first.
Andre, in the 90s here in Brazil we had many vhs rental stores and the mario brothers' film was very common to find for rent. my brother and I rented this movie every month and we grew up watching this bad movie, which we knew had nothing to do with the games, but that was adorable, lovely and fun. very cool to know that more people in the world share this feeling!
The behind-the-scenes of this movie is really fascinating. Like the how and why it came to be like it is. Same Thing with Blade Trinity, if not more so.
My guilty pleasure movie is Felix the Cat (1988). I remember loving this film so much as a kid, and everyone (but my dad) hating it. The "Duke of Zill" song still gets stuck in my head.
Dude. I LOVE this movie. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
My brothers and I would watch it at least once a week.
I feel like those of us who were younger when the movie came out have a better opinion of it than most because we just knew it was fun.
I've always enjoyed this movie as well. It's bonkers as all get out, but there's just something about it that I've always liked.
If you didn't know- the narrator at the beginning is Dan (Homer Simpson) Casellaneta, and the King that wad the fungus(Daisy's father) is Lance Henriksen
I LOVE this movie. The performances, the music score, the sets , the effects, the cyberpunk aesthetic
I always enjoy this movie! It is crazy (and feels like I’m watching a Total Recall spin-off) but it is a different take for sure! My favorite guilty pleasure is always and forever Wayne’s World! Though I would argue that the movie is pretty good! (Edited:spelling)
Ya hit the nail right on the head. I think the SMB movie is a lot like Godzilla 98. Both movies probably would have been remembered more fondly now if they were named something else. Cause aside from being anything like their source material they're actually pretty fun.
As far as I'm concerned your love for this movie proves you are a man of culture. I have this glorious mess on DVD, and I have nothing but love for it. There was not that much story in the games, especially then, and their wild reinvention of the material was so original that I have to give it props. Some nights were simply made for a double feature of this and Roger Rabbit.
Open the door Get on the floor, Everybody want the dinosaur !!! LOLL
I would truly say that this movie is my guilty pleasure. About 15 years ago - ish.. my brother and I were OBSESSED with everything Super Mario and we found the Super Mario Bro’s Movie on early UA-cam and watched the heck out of it. We didn’t know it was bad or anything, we just watched it and had a good time. I was really confused, but then they had mushrooms and a bomb omb and YOSHI! And like you said, “it got me.”
I wanted to love this movie so much that it took me awhile to realize, “Oh, it’s bad.”
Ah yes, like early 2000s Simpsons.
Back in my kid days, I was on the Mario hype train during SNES era with Mario World and the cartoon series got me really hook up and came the movie and I like it. I was only a kid who didn't know better until I rewatch the movie and how odd it was. But it still get the Nostalgic out of me and still own the VHS & DVD
It took me half an hour to find anybody who loves this movie as much as me lol. It’s awesome! One of my all-time favorites. The cinematography is the best part, the whole city, the weird goombas, flying shoes, the outfits for Mario and Luigi... I think people expected it to be more like the game. Underground classic.
My peoples!!!!!! I also loved that movie, as did my friends. I remember not caring if it was or wasn't like the source material, I thought the split dimension/dinos evolved in to humanoid beings/ fungus growing EVERYWHERE was really neat! 10 year old me was like "what if though?!" lol ... and I had a crush on John Leguizamo which might've colored my perspective too
The thing that got to me about the movie's teaser towards a possible sequel was the question it raises about where they could have possibly gone. I mean, there's the movie's premise of the reality-breaking meteor impact that shunted the dinos off into their own parallel copy of Earth. At some point in the movie while explaining this concept they showed off a globe of the dino planet which depicted it as having their dirty little trash heap of a city being the ONLY oasis among a planetary desert wasteland. That doesn't seem like it leaves any room to introduce anything new. They'd only have that city to work with.
