Basically, audiences just didn't know what to expect and the movie kinda has a bizarre tone going for it. You know, the setting and the way things are visually portrayed comes off as kinda surreal.

As much as Bob Hoskins criticized his role of Mario in the movie, you gotta admit, some other part of him looks like he actually enjoyed it. Nevertheless, I praise him for how well he did, as I do for John Leguizamo as Luigi, and Samantha Mathis as Daisy and Dennis Hopper as King Koopa.
@@kingkaiju164 Well, not so much he hated playing the role of Mario, but just putting up with the conflicts that went on between Annabel Jenkel and Rocky Morton who were constantly arguing about how the set was to go and be as during the production of the movie.
@kingkaiju164 Even in a Q&A back in the late 2000s, they were like: "What is the worst job you've done?" "What has been your biggest disappointment?" "If you could edit your past, what would you change?" To all three questions, Bob Hoskins said Super Mario Bros. He even admitted that he and Leguizamo were drunk in some scenes to cope with the on set turmoil. Which specific scenes, I don't know.
Even if you hated the movie, you'd have to admit this a pretty entertaining part from it and a very exciting cop-car chase. Lots of great action and special effects scattered throughout the movie. I'm glad to have grown up watching this as a kid and appreciating it for what it was even more as a adult, despite it's flaws. Nothing against Hopskins, Leguizamo, and Hopper for their performances, they did what they could to try help make the movie entertaining, despite the making of it being one great, big shit-show.
This was the only good part of the film. Because this part of the movie the car chase was made very well and it was a basic way to cut the budget, you can tell this was done in several large warehouses and parking lots and simply decorated to the dystopian style world and the fact it’s set up at night time so you don’t see as much makes the scene a bit better.

Oh so George Lucas was paying homage to this movie when he had Anakin yell "Now this is podracing" in episode 1.
Now, they should give us the “Special Edition” treatment, and release it for Disney+ if they still bare the rights.
