Super Mario Bros the movie

BitVyper · 03-08-2012, 06:06 PM

Been sittin on this one for years: Everybody always talks shit about this movie, and I just have to say man, fuck those guys. Super Mario Bros the movie is completely fantastic in every way. I can't think of anything I would change about it. It's nonstop fun from beginning to end. The setting is some kind of hilarious parody of Cyberpunk and Mad Max at the same time, the costumes are all colourful and well designed, the sets are great, and the characters are just so much fun to watch. Hooper is absolutely fantastic as Koopa, and whoever the actress that played his uh... secretary/wife/whatever did just a perfect job of acting opposite him. Also this happens.

So yeah basically fuck anyone who talks shit about Super Mario Bros the movie. They are not your friends. If you have not seen Super Mario Bros the movie, you should

Watching that bar scene has me almost intrigued, if only to watch it with the knowledge that, yeah, my mom took me to see this insanity.

When I was 10, my school made us watch this during the after school program.

I was terrorfied, I'm sorry but it's true. I cannot lie about this movie and how I felt after watching it at age 10.

When I saw the movie for the first time I remember liking it. That was ages ago. Haven't watched it since to see how it holds up. I'm aware of all of the hate though.

It was shit and you're shit for liking it. I hope you never hold any kind of position of power over any poor soul.

I remember I would watch it when they used to show it on Disney sometimes. It might have been bad but I guess I have some sort of nostalgia filter towards it. Sorta a guilty pleasure.

Bob Hoskins was a fantastic Mario, and Dennis Hopper was the perfect sort of menecingly clueless over-the-top villian that is King Koopa/Bowser.

Everything else was straight out of WTF Hell.

edit: oh, Iggy and Spike were good for a decent slapstick laugh.

I think I've managed to somehow purge my entire memory of this movie, I literally can't remember a thing about it.

I'm calling that a good thing.

I liked it as a kid.

I had a Luigi action figure. That green jumpsuit was boss.

I love Hooper's Koopa.
