The Original Mario Movie Nintendo Wants You To Forget
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 гру 2021
- Super Mario Bros. (also known as Super Mario Bros.: The Movie) is a 1993 adventure comedy film loosely based on the Mario video game series by Nintendo. It is the first feature-length live-action film to be based on a video game. -Wikipedia It is an absolute insane disaster of a movie, and I love it. I don't know how this got approved by Miyamoto and Nintendo at the time in 1993.
Starring Bob Hoskins as Mario, John Leguizamo as Luigi Mario, Dennis Hopper as Bowser/King Koopa, Samantha Mathis as Princess Daisy, Fisher Stevens as Iggy, and Fiona Shaw as Lena (Kamek)
This movie has lizard people, King Koopa, Mario, Luigi, Princess Daisy, Yoshi as a strange dinosaur, Kamek probably,
Enjoy

Can we appreciate that Nintendo has confirmed that their canon names are actually Mario Mario and Luigi Mario?? Like it makes sense why it’s called Mario Bros. It makes silly sense, but sense nonetheless
wait when did they confirm that?
edit: okay apparently Miyamoto said so in 2015 at the 30th anniversary festival
@@GlamityJean how did you comment this and look it up so fast lol seems like you could’ve just cut out the middle man 😂
@@Mylament_ yeah, I commented, then just typed "is mario family name mario" on google and it gave me a link to the mario mystery fandom wiki xD sorry for the spam
it's so amusing cause link is the same way. link link
@@pinhead707 no way thats so funny
Conspiracy Theorists: The Simpsons predicted everything
Gabi: Super Mario Bros was the most influential movie of all time

It looks like theres supposed to be s punchline but there isnt
lol
This movie looks like what mario sees when he takes too many mushrooms.
Oh thats why there live
I like pancakes
lol
Tell you what, Chris Pratt has really let himself go on this one.
LMAORORKSPWJCNVUFKWOV ITS NOT EVEN THE SAME MOVIE🤣🤣😭😭😭💀💀💀

lol 😔
I saw this movie when it came out, and i loved it. i was pretty young, but i liked that it was really weird and made little to no sense. i also didn't mind that it wasn't much like any of the mario games because the mario games back then had literally no story beyond two sentences at the end of a level. i still like the mario movie because its so insane
I always loved those movies too! It felt like the adults who made them had an imagination like I did and were telling the story of what happened the last time they were playing with their toys. It was always so exciting to watch movies that captured that feeling of being a kid!
Old
@@phillipafae5783 no I’m not but I’m glad you got the joke😁
well Alice in Wonderland makes no sense, and the game is inspired on it
The funny thing is that this was a COMPLETELY SERIOUS attempt to write the true story behind the Mario games.
I still can't get over the scene in this movie where when the dimensions merge the World Trade Center starts burning. That definitely didn't age the best
Mario Bros '93 predicted 9/11 confirmed
That aged the best
Agreed
I heard somewhere the cast had to be drunk throughout filming just to get through the nonsense of this movie. If it's true I'm quite impressed because either you can't tell they're drunk, or their drunkeness fits so well there's no distinguishing it 😂😂
i told my boyfriend what you said and he told me it is true and one of them almost died
@@Bully_Biscuit
Hol’ up
@Wynn Wynn Leguisamo closed the van Door on Bob hoskins hand
The actor for mario was a pornstar also
So one of my great uncles whom I've never actually met was on the costume design team for this abomination. Because of this my great aunt (his sister) made us watch it every time we visited her for spring break as kids. She was very proud of him...
the costumes are really cool, even the goombas and koopa troopers that don't look anything like the games look cool, they just need respectivelly a bigger head and being turtles instead of dinosaurs
@@devforfun5618I mean... The Goombas do look like Goombas, if you look them from afar and squint a little lol...
@breeb2638 I hope your great uncle was responsible for those red and green outfits... I remember the first time I saw that cover on Blockbuster, man, what a time...!!
8:26 There is a really old series of movies called "I Was a Teenaged _____" and it was different monsters like werewolf. i don't get the XXX rating though because i'm pretty sure the teenage monster movies are just cult 50's movies lol. basically its a boomer reference
THANK YOU OMG
i would assume it's XXX rating because mammals do things like "have breasts" and "lactate"
to a dinosaur that might be titillating, i dunno
I Was A Teenaged Caveman is the one I always think of.
I'm sure the XXX rating is just meant to indicate that it's a dirty movie. The Mushroom Kingdom is meant to be kind of like Times Square in the 70s and 80s during the bad old days of sex work and drugs and adult theaters. This movie's aesthetic is partially based on Blade Runner which also gets some inspiration from the Hellscape that New York was seen to be at the time.
This is all a long way around to say that it's a reference to old movies and is supposed to add to the feeling that this is a "bad" place.
@@itsgabibelle i love your rating system i have my own rating system when it comes down to listening to music and my former best friend once told me i have bad taste in music and he had way better musical taste than me i love the room tbhwy its free to watch now on youtube no joke either
@@itsgabibelle you should watch fateful findings by neil breen its one amazingling bad movie its on the same leel as the room bad type of movie uts my favorite neil breen movie
John Liguazamo as Luigi is still great in my book lol
Because he's actually from Brooklyn?
I unironically love this movie. It's so mad and freaky, plus it was the first ever live action video game movie, they were basically doing their best lol. The cast were perfect as well!
@15:22 if I'm not mistaken, the woman in red with the spikes is meant to be Big Bertha from SMB3. Ya know, the giant red fish that is extremely aggressive and swallows Mario whole.
yeah that is Big Bertha, only realised that years after watching the movie
edit: and the two koopa goons that end up joining Mario and Luigi's side are Spike and Iggy
"I Was A Teenage Mammal," is a reference to the 1957 horror movie I Was A Teenage Werewolf
As a teenage mammal, can 100% confirm.
I cant believe john leguizamo was in this. It just seems like one of those weird movies where you don’t recognize any of the actors
Bob Hoskins was literally a Shakespearean actor who was extremely famous at the time. Dennis Hopper is one of the most well known actors of all time.
John Leguizamo had a one man show on Broadway before this movie started filming, but he was relatively unknown in Hollywood at the time. And, right at that time, he was really trying to build his Hollywood career. How could he pass up an opportunity to star in a movie with the guy from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and the guy from Apocalypse now and Easy Rider?
@@CeeJayThe13thright this dude telling he doesn’t know actors with out telling us
"OK so you're gonna be playing Mario."
"Cool, what's he about?"
"He's a guy who jumps. And he wears blue overalls and a big red had."
"No I mean what's Mario ABOUT. What makes him tick? Where's he from? What's his relationship with his mother like?"
"He's just a dude from a fairy tale world who has to rescue a princess."
"Fairy tales?? I didn't sign up to do fairy tales! If I'm gonna be doin Mario, we gotta make him relatable. You know, bring him down to ground level. Somewhere like the Bronx... or Brooklyn."
"Why don't I just let you take it away and we'll write the screenplay around that?"
"You tellin me you don't have a screenplay?"
"We do, but it was just gonna be this sort of dialogue-less script with lots of jumping and physical comedy, like Mr Bean but with a huge fat dragon-turtle guy who shoots fireballs out his ass."
Some of my favourite moments from this movie:
- It's a parallel reality where the dinosaurs never died, and so there's no oil, and so all the cars are powered by electrical overhead rails!
- The cops are completely violent with their cars and for some reason don't even have brakes, so they just have to crash into something any time they wanna stop (New York City cops, they ain't too smart)
- The king's reverse transformation from fungus into human is a direct callback to the post-airship cinematics in Mario 3 for NES!
- Toad and them wind up spewing some remarkably accurate marxist rhetoric against bowser (AND put it into action!)
Overall what I love about this movie is that (as gabi points out) when you examine every detail carefully, it's actually PAINSTAKINGLY faithful to Nintendo's canon that existed up to that point! The goombas dance to music just like in the worldmaps of Mario 3 and Super Mario Bros! The Mario Bros are actually good at maintaining plumbing pipe systems within the plot (which makes total sense)! The major characters all correspond to ingame characters, with very few capricious additions (or extra sense-making elements, haha).
Considering the weird grabbag of story elements they had to work with, I am SO impressed by this thing they put together. The only part I dislike about it is that the filmmakers were pretty awful about stuff like safety when doing the film shoot (a lot of actors & crew got hurt or had a really bad time)
Well that's just pretty cool
My cousin and I saw this in the theater when we were kids and we loved it. Same goes for that live action Ninja Turtles that came out in the 90s. It was a strange time to be alive, kids.
I just watched this movie and am still somehow surprised by literally everything
This movie was like a fever dream, man. Me and my brothers were all super into Nintendo so our parents got this movie on redbox. I have very sparse memories of specific scenes and all of them are terrifying
Doesn't this pre date Redbox by like 10 years
@@clockworkpanda8 well yeah, we didn’t get it on Redbox when it came out. This movie predates me by ten years lol
Luigi is hot, can't change my mind.
duh its sid the sloth
Teenage me thought the same thing. X'D
Look up here on YT John Leguizamo Summer of Sam Dance scene if you wanna see more of him looking hot hahaha
Fun fact: Richard Edson, who played Spike in this movie, was Sonic Youth's first drummer
Here is another, that is Mojo Nixon as Toad
How ironic that a guy from a Mario movie would be in a band called Sonic Youth.
I've seen this movie three times over my childhood, and it was a new experience each time
im pretty sure my brain tried making me forget i watched this movie. but clearly theres no escaping it. thanks gabi.
the fact that FIONA SHAW is in this is insane
no actually the way you rate movies is THE BEST way and i wish everyone would take this approach 😔
An actual movie critic won't
please don't stop making videos and keep doing what you're doing I can see you becoming really famous one day
Them being plumbers is why they were good at walking through the goop
There's a ton of little stuff like that in the movie
this is one of those "so bad, it's good" type of films.
This movie came out when I was a little kid and I begged my parents to take me. At the time I didn’t realize how terrible it was but now……OHH MAN ITS BAD
I remember watching this when I was little, I was begging my dad to look for a mario movie online. He was convinced it didn't exist, but then we found this lmao
I owned this on VHS and watched it over and over again as a kid it was random, fun and had characters that were really endearing. The moment where they're dancing in the elevator just made me laugh so hard as a kid and I had so many fond memories. Just watched it again after like 28 years and I still love it. Also saw the behind-the-scenes making of it. I'm sad it was such a niightmare to work on and the writers were basically writing scenes the day of shooting them and it was just madness and it failed at the box office but hey it made my childhood way more awesome and left me with happy memories I carry with me still today, so that's a 10/10 for me. 13:20 You can totally learn to do this from 90s video games lol j/k But we had more than just pong like we had those cool text adventure games like Space Quest. Carmageddon and GTA came out in '97 (maybe inspired by this very scene?? lol) We had some cool stuff in amazing 2D pixel glory.
"I Was A Teenage Mammal" is supposedly a reference to the 1957 horror movie "I Was A Teenage Werewolf"
I mean to be fair, Daisy is “PRINCESS Daisy”. So it would make sense for her dad to be king lmao. Like I don’t see how that wouldn’t be the case
Yeah she's Princess Daisy who debuted in Super Mario Land for the Gameboy
My brother and I just randomly watched this movie tonight for the first time. We actually had a lot of fun. It's just super bizarre and although some parts are wayyy too creepy for a kids movie, it's pretty hilarious overall.
This is literally a netflix adaptation put in the mind of someone from the past. This movie is literally from today
You keep using that word...
I attempted to watch this movie at least 3 times but always got so high that I passed out. I still love it tho
Okay the guy on a bicycle was actually genius. He was wearing a red hat. Red koopas don't turn around when they reach a ledge.
Yeah they do. Green koopas keep going, red ones turn around.
This is the second time I’ve seen a commentary review on this movie and I still don’t know what happened.
Mario is popular with the ladies with that Bob Hoskins beauty resonating in each frame. Take notes, John Luigizamo.
When they're not canonically sisters (and maybe even sometimes when they are??), isn't Daisy referred to as Princess Toadstool?? Like in the animated series??
Another super fun video! So glad you
Plugged your song at the end too! I hadn’t know you released so I was excited to listen to it! It’s hard to find artists who perfectly capture chill happy walk/study/work/relax music, so thank you for being one of my favorite artists 💗
I thought I dreamed up that ball of fungus... I forgot this damn whole movie but Sir Slime has never left my nightmares.
I love this movie. Kamek is played by Fiona Shaw, a legend!!!
Wait, that's Kamek!?
@@boxorak Yup! This movie is so weird, just watched a video essay on it the other day, John Leguisamo is hosting the Daily Show, and you commented on this... I think it's time for another viewing. 😅🤗
Have a great day!
Glad you were able to release this video 😊
me too 🥲🥲🥲🥲
Oh gee… I was around, when this movie hit the silver screen and have seen it in the cinemas. That was something like Netflix, but you had to go in a loud, overcrowded hall where somebody tall sat right in front of you and people ate popcorn with as much noise as humanly possible. Strange times back then… so the movie was quite normal to us and I enjoyed it. 😅
Even though this video is 2 years old, I've just realized that this movie might be the first Mario media I saw
I Was A Teenage Mammal
"One of the movie titles visible on a background marquee in Dinohattan is "I Was A Teenage Mammal," a reference to the 1957 horror movie I Was A Teenage Werewolf."
One I was little I actually loved this movie. I think we have the VHS somewhere. Me and my siblings would watch it a lot, and now to think of it I might again. 😂 Pure nostalgia
I unironically luv this movie. Such a great sci-fi film with Mario characters. The world needs a 4k Criterion release of this so bad.
Love the idea that this inspired attributes of Mario 64.
When I was a kid I remember this came out around the same time as The Sandlot. I remember I saw the trailer for both Mario and Sandlot before some other movie and got them mixed up. So all because the special effect kinda looks like sand, for years and years I believed that The Sandlot was a horror movie about people turning into sand.
I bought this movie on DVD specially so my child can appreciate the new movie. He has played the old NES game, but nothing beats how good this movie is at being bad. It's even funnier because I can only imagine how many steps this took to be made.
koopa troops dancing is cannon though. it was super like wtf when it happened but now the koopa troops dance. this movie was ahead of its time.
this was one of the two movies my brother made me watch almost every week, fills me with nostalgia
Well...
"10. I Was A Teenage Mammal
One of the movie titles visible on a background marquee in Dinohattan is "I Was A Teenage Mammal," a reference to the 1957 horror movie I Was A Teenage Werewolf."
I will forever be waiting for the sequel for this movie... I DEMAND A CONCLUSION TO THE FIRST FILM!!! lol
im so grateful i found your channel, I think it was from your collab with jarvis I can't remember - Ive been loving and watching every one of your videos that shows up in my feed!
Eh, I know this may be hard to see. Or maybe it's not idk I'm the the one with 7k subs but keep it up. Your content is *chefs kiss* some of the best I have come across in a long time. You have truly earned the title of female moist critical. That's all. Just incase you need a boost today
thank you so much i actually did need that 🥲❤️
As a kid, I enjoyed it as a silly video game movie. As an adult, I deeply enjoy how nonsensical it is.
YES the "how much fun were you having" rating scale for movies feels so much more applicable in a lot of cases for me, like it's rare to see a horror film that's higher than 60% on Rotten Tomatoes but you miss out on so much cheese, actual spooks and fun by letting that stop you giving them a try. I agree it's got some parts that drag on a bit but I absolutely love this movie, it's such a bizarre take on the source material but it's so interesting, at least to me, as a result - like the large and in charge lady in the red spiked dress is supposedly meant to be the Big Bertha enemy from Mario 3, and if you look closely the brand on the taxis is "Wiggler"? Yes, more of that, love it lol
What if I told you that this movie is the only piece of Super Mario content I ever consumed? I never played any of the games and don't know anything about the characters and their world, but I watched this movie about a dozen times or so when I was a kid.
the budget put into this movie shoulda been put into i was a teenage mammal xxx
This is one of my favorite movies of my childhood
This movie traumatized me as a kid, 10/10 what an acid trip
I remember watching this waiting for the part there something happens and they turn into cartoons. Then I realized that was a different things took me about 3/4th of the movie to realize that wasn’t happening 😂
There’s no way the 2023 version will be bad as the 1993 version. Sheesh that’s 30 years later, crazy coincidence
This looks like a 10/10 movie, will recommend it to friends
What do you mean? How else would you make a movie about a game where a guy walks in a straight line, eats shrooms and jumps on turtles then uses their shells as weapons?
I could be wrong but I’m pretty sure Mario was drunk during this entire shoot.
Not the entire shoot. Mario and Luigi started getting drunk together about halfway through the shoot, because of a bunch of production delays and the general sense that the whole thing had already gone completely off the rails
I was so excited as a kid to see the mario movie. Than super sad it wasnt exactly like the video game, but i still enjoyed it very much. 😅 it needs a rewatch as an adult.
lol, I love all of your side comments! Always gives me a chuckle!
15:17, those half-awake dreams are called "Hypnogogic Hallucinations."
Dude I feel you, Order of the Phoenix was a snoozer, I never got around to finishing it
I remember watching this movie as a kid and I loved it. BUT watching it as an adult is wild 😂😂😂
15:05 spat tea over my bed and laptop. with or without context, a literal rock
I'm so so glad I've found you.
They were absolutely Brothers in the movie, lol. You even showed the clip where they share the same last name (and we all learned Mario's full name is Mario Mario!)
My favorite fact about this film is Bob Hopkins and John Leguizamo knew it was going to be awful, so they just drank between takes, so they're pretty much hammered in every scene!
I like how the sign in the background says "I was a teenage mammal" throughout the video
Just seeing the thumbnail for this video made me go and watch it, and now that I've done that and come back to watch this video, I realise I desperately need to see the extended version. I gave it a 9/10 because it was so fun but Yoshi was really boringly adapted to me (but apparently it was a super intricate puppet so that's cool!!) I love the wild hairstyles and the costume designs and everything, it's such a fun movie!
Ok but can I just say that when I was a kid, in the mornings, before Power Rangers came on, there was smurfs, and then after that was a live action tv show called "The Super Mario Brothers' Super Show", and it was somehow so bad that it was good. Please don't watch it though, because you will very likely discredit my childhood favourites lol
The Super Mario Bros Super Show is actually a cartoon show with short live action scenes as a wraparound. I still think it's pretty excellent especially considering it's just a generic 80s cartoon meant to sell merchandise and video games. The Adventures Of Super Mario Bros 3 is also very fun but it doesn't have the live action segments.
Newly subscribed; great job Gabi!!
I would never have watched this movie. You are *hilarious* and just so gosh-darn sweet!!! New sub.
I do not care I will still watch this movie. I love it. John Leguizamo (Luigi) was in so many films like this before he was taken seriously as an actor, namely The Pest..and the late, super fricken great Bob Hoskins (Mario) already played lead in so many awesome movies before this. I read he was embarrassed that he decided to do this film but I hold it near and dear to my heart ❤
What? It makes perfect sense. Daisy is a reptile and therefore born in an egg
10/10 for me
this movie is a masterpiece
I wish I was born from an egg… or swallowed by yoshi
When I was a very small child, my mom told me that I was hatched from an egg and I believed it for a while.
Me: “Have people really forgotten about this movie?”
Also me: “Oh yeah, I’m almost 30”
I also saw this movie when it came out. This was the year after SNES dropped and Super Mario World was mind blowing because you can ride a dinosaur that you punch on the back of the head to make it's tongue come out. Seeing this movie I was confused but I loved it. At the time I believed Dino City was directly connected to the underworld in Demolition Man. . . I was a Latch key kid I watched R movies from a young age.
Believing those two places are connected makes a lot of sense tbh.
I was like, two, when this movie came out. I think it was my first time experiencing disappointment. It broke my little brain trying to come to terms with "This is the Mario Bros movie" and "I absolutely hate this and am confused by it".
Well at least there’s a new Mario movie that won’t disappoint
Toad is portrayed by folk punk star Mojo Nixon, and if your movie ain't got Mojo Nixon then your movie could use some fixin'
When Bowser says “and get rid of the mammals!” he sounds like Denzil Crocker
Luigi at 13:02 is wild 🤣
My brother and I loved this movie as kids. I still love it. It’s so insane and amazing. I want to understand how this movie happened.
I read some stuff about the making of the movie a long time ago. I don’t actually remember all the details, but I do remember that it was fucking wild. I think there was a weird mix between Nintendo letting the producers do whatever the fuck they wanted, but then the movie studio kept swinging back and forth between letting them have free reign and trying to reign in the insanity. The script was still going through rewrites well into shooting the movie. Halfway through shooting, Bob Hoskins and John Lequizamo just started getting drunk whenever they weren’t on camera
@@readwrecks Yeah you know shit’s hitting the fan when the two stars have to get drunk to do their jobs. 😂
I’m so glad to have stumbled across this video.
When I was a kid in the mid 90s, I got my dad to ask if they had the sequel at the video rental. I wasn't aware yet that sequel bait endings sometimes don't lead to anything. 😭
Ah yes the 3 weeds, deadly combination of Dandelions, Fescue Grass, and Chickweed.
Great movie review!
I haven’t forgotten about this movie but I wish I could.
Worst animated film I’ve ever seen is Defenders of Space. We show it to friends and we all end up in tears laughing.
I legitimately love this movie and it makes me sad that the cast hated it throughout production.
Not Luigi being the guy from To Wong Fu
