- Genre: Video Game Video
- Rating: ★★★☆☆
Plot:
- Brooklyn plumbers Mario and Luigi stumble into an underground world of highly evolved dinosaurs led by King Koopa. They fix a few broken pipes and rescue a kidnapped princess, but as you've probably guessed, this has little-to-nothing to do with the video game.
Notes:
- "I believe the rent is three months overdue. That's what I believe."
- "He's not going to kill us. He's not that nice."
- Reteaming of Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel from Max Headroom
- John Leguizamo has quite a lot to say about this movie in Pimps, Hos, Playa Hatas...
- So does Bob Hoskins, for that matter: "The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Bros. It was a f**kin' nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks, their own agent told them to get off the set! F**kin' nightmare. F**kin' idiots."
- Bob Hoskins replaced Danny DeVito as Mario
