Super Mario Bros... THE MOVIE

Anyone see this on the disney channel (lol) last night? I was flipping through late last night at around 12 (nothing was on public access ;) ) and I see this weird things with small heads so I figure I'll watch a bit. I'm thinking to myself holy shit this movie is friggin awful! A little but later this ugly dude calls this other ugly dude mario and I'm like WTF kind of name is mario? Then that ugly mario dude calls the other ugly dude Luigi! So hear it was, the movie I would've killed to see when I was 4 (or sumthin) was cheesy as shit! Well I keep on watching and it seems like all they did pretty much was take some other cheesy movie and then use mario's names... How could nintendo let them do this! :( *sigh* Well what did everyone else think of this movie? The only thing I liked is when that lady stabbed Yoshi, he he he. O, and did anyone see that elevator scene? my god...

this is why i feel the first mortal kombat and resident evil movies are the only two game movies worth watching. i thought tomb raider was overly campy (especially the end sequence), tho most disagree since they're making a sequel.

Mortal Kombat was awsome, never did see RE, and Tomb Raider was good because you could see her boob in that one scene :p They at least followed a similar plot and had things like the video game! This MArio movie was soooooo NOT mario it wasnt even funny! I mean come on, some dude (not a dragon) in a parralel universe turning people into fungus and then coming to our world with some rock? LOL

It was a funny movie for all of the wrong reasons.

Well, Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil, were great game to movie translations, but Tomb Raider sucked BIG TIME !!! :)

And dont listen to Ethugg opionio about that :)

Now, I think that Super Mario Brothers is silly fun. Is it a good movie? No, but does being bad make it less fun to watch? Nope, I still enjoy this film campines, and it does have some nice make up and visual fx scenes for me to enjoy :)

Dennis Hopper as King Koopa is great :)

And Lance Henrksen shows up at the end for 5 sec as Mushroom King :)

What in the holy hell did this movie have to do with the game...hmmmmm...NOTHING!!!!! abso-fucking-lutly NOTHING!!! this movie was just flat out BAD...not so-so, not "I guess it was ok" this movie was BAD! sorry, but come on...you know how bad it is...right?

SOME ONE DELETE THIS THREAD NOW!!!!NOW!!!!! NO ONE EVER BRING THIS, OR THE DOUBLE DRAGON MOVIE UP AGAIN. FOR THE LOVE OF MIYAMOTO!!!!AHHHHH! IT HAS JOHN LEQU....FUCK THAT GUY! NOT ONLY IS MARIO NOT THE MAIN CHARACTER, BUT HE DOESN'T GET "DAISY"AND DON'T MAKE ME BRING UP YOSHI. THAT'S IT. SOMEONE DELETE THIS NOW!!!!!

Well, I liked Double Dragon :) It have Mark Dacascos in it :) And some nice visual fx and make up.

Another guilty pleasure of mine :)

What Lucas said. :)

Game Goomba: Tiny mushroom with giant head
Movie Goomba: Giant lizard with tiny head

Game Yoshi: Cuddly dino thing
Movie Yoshi: Slimy lizard thing. Decidedly not cuddly

Game environment: Sunny meadow mostly. Happy.
Movie environment: Underground city overrun by fungus.

Game Koopa: GIANT FIRE BREATHING TURTLE.
Movie Koopa: Some guy.

Game Luigi: He is what he is.
Movie Luigi: I'm sorry he didn't pass his Backstreet Boys audition.


*sigh*

Resident Evil movie = badass

The sad part about this movie being so bad is that most of us probably wanted to see it cuz we were little at the time and didn't know any better.

Super Mario Bros. the Movie was pretty much like Street Fighter the Movie. It was a comedy classic is terms of plot, characters, and dialogue, but toally unintentionally.

Mortal Kombat wasn't that good to begin with and Resident Evil is only the best game-based movie because the others sucks.

TR rocked! It has been the best game movie EVER! RE sucked! Mario Bros.... was a great kids movie... better than RE that's for sure...

If they kept the movie exactly as it was but only changed the names of all the characters, I bet no one would have caught on that it was based on Mario.

Is that available on DVD yet?

And, Mortal Kombat used to be my favorite movie ever, until I saw Rushmore. I also like the RE movie. And HATE the TR movie. But, not that I thought it had nothing to do with the game or anything (cuz, I think it did, even though I hate those games), I just didn't like the cast. I don't like Angelina Jolie, which pretty much ruins the movie, AND, unless extremely well done (like Minority Report) I HATE a lot of CG in my movies.

Well you better get use to it. Almost every major live-action film today uses CG and the ones that don't are lame chick flicks.

There were three standout problems with this movie that bothered me more than anything else:

1.It has John Leguizamo in it.
2.Luigi is the main character
3.Luigi gets Daisy


WTF is that crap. As if John Leguizamo being in it wasn't bad enough.Mortal Kombat: Annhilation(The random pit of fire everyone falls into is pure comedy) and SF The movie were garbage but they were funny because of their flaws(Although I think SF was meant to be a comedy to begin with...Bisonopolis, c'mon) but the Mario Bros. movie just hurt.

Don't bring the Double Dragon movie up either. It didn'thappen. If DD has to have a movie, Double Impact would be a better choice.

Truly a shame too, it simply doesn't look real anymore. I'll take movies with odd little monsters in them from the 80s, when realistic looking creatures were a staple.

...The Bourne ID was pretty cool.

I think the worst part about this movie was finding out Luigi's (and Mario's) last name... even as a ten year old (I don't remember how old I was) I thought that was pretty hard to believe... :rolleyes:

I wonder how that was translated in the Japanese dub of the film, considering that his name there is Vega and not Bison.

It wouldn't be that simple, considering that big prop with the word "BISONOPOLIS" written over it. :p

Or..."Las Vegas"?

...yeah, I'm done.

I imagine the Japanese had enough taste to ban this movie from their country. :p

Seems like they kept the US names in the film after all. :eek:

I also found they actually made a live-action Tokimeki Memorial film too.

Hey, Super Mario Brothers ruled! It was such campy-ass fun, I loved it. Even the cheesy-ass opening. "What if the meteor hadn't killed all the dinosaurs? What if some of them survived underground and grew and evolved like the rest of us?" That was pure gold :lol:

One of the best B-movies ever, and it was based on a classic video game. Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo for life! :D

HAHAHA!


It actually says "STORY" on the back as if people can't tell. :lol:

There has never been a good movie based of a videogame. I'm sorry, but they all suck in their own special way. The only one I sat through without throwing up my popcorn was the FF movie, but it's only saving grace was the quality of the animation.

Movies to games can work. But it doesn't look very good for games to movies.

Game-based movies would work if the people making them weren't idiots.

Say what you want, but Mortal Kombat and Resident Evil were good game to movie translations.

And I enjoyed FF movie as well, even though many people here didnt.

I'm gonna guess that you're in region 2, because there is a semi-special edition right here in region 1.
