10 Things You Didn't Know About SuperMarioBrosMovie

[@beauwalker9820]

To be fair, Daisy is a different character from Peach, (Daisy is from the Gameboy game "Super Mario Land.") and "Koopa" is actually Bowser's original Japanese name, but it was mistranslated as "King of the Koopa" so NOA mistakenly thought it was his species, and renamed him "Bowser."
Regardless of it's faults, and liberties taken, I unironically enjoyed the SMB movie. It even had some clever game references like the Snifits, and Mario confronting King Koopa on a bridge.

[@KasumiKenshirou]

And the King Koopa name was also used in the Super Show.

I love this movie BECAUSE it is so bizarre. And if we're being completely honest, a straight adaptation of the source material wouldn't have made much more sense than what we got.

So we had no extra money to do anything while waiting to see jurrasic park, and one of us decided to sneak into mario bros, and open up the exit doors to get the rest of us in, so we would have something to do while waiting for the amazing dinosaur movie.

As a kid, I knew this movie wouldn't work as a representation of the video game franchise (how could one at that time make live action goomba's, for crying' out loud), so every difference they made to the appearance and such made sense to me. As a movie, I enjoyed it, and still do to this day. Super Mario Bros. as a video game franchise is a series that I enjoyed, but never got so gung ho about to the point that everything had to be absolutely precise. I could understand the differences that were made, and never complained. To people who would complain, how could they possibly expect to make a live action film featuring Bowser, the Mushroom Kingdom, and even Yoshi without making it look stupid. They did what they did, and I don't think it was bad as a movie. As a representative of the franchise canon, it doesn't match up. But as it's own standalone movie, it's great. But that's just me.

Unpopular opinion: I loved it as a kid and think it holds up. It was a dark and twisted take on The Mario Bros like we’ve seen done a bunch since with other properties, especially fairytales. I got excited to see what twisted version of a character would show up next when watching it. “Ooo ooo that’s Toad with the harmonica!!! Yoshi is an adorable t-Rex!!! Big Bertha the fish is a giant black woman who enjoys clubbing! Their last names are Mario! That explains why they’re called the Mario brothers instead of something else. The fungus king is making the city into a mushroom kingdom like the mushroom kingdom in the games!!” Fun times.

[@MuljoStpho]

This has been a big point that's stuck out about it for me as well. Before the movie came out, the entire history of the franchise was just everything from Mario's origin as "Jumpman" in the Donkey Kong arcade game up through Super Mario World (and maybe also Mario Kart?) on SNES. Games like Mario RPG, the Paper Mario series, and the Mario & Luigi series were all years away from happening, so the full extent of all storytelling in the franchise had pretty much only ever been "rescue the princess". The world of the Mushroom Kingdom (which admittedly the sets in the movie don't come anywhere close to capturing the look of) had mostly (aside from SMB3 and SMW's map interfaces) been depicted only in 2D sidescrolling platformer style with very little processing power to spare on background details. It's pretty easy to see how the movie's creators would have seen a lot of it as pretty much being a blank slate. They had a few names and rough concepts to work with, and that was it.

The Mario Movie actually got a sequel in the form of a short lived webcomic that ran from 2013 - 2015. It saw the bros teaming up with Daisy, Toad (no longer looking like a Goomba), and a mysterious asian scientist named Mouser, in order to take down a deranged scientist named Wart. The characters of Wart and Mouser come from the Super Mario Bros 2 video game.
Due to scheduling conflicts with an artist, the comic didn't continue.
Recently, the webcomic got revived by it's original team, the Super Mario Bros Movie Archive, along with a new artist.

I believe this movie will be as big as Black Panther was! Because anybody who's a video gamer and who has ever played Zelda would know that a live action movie would be a Smash Hit!!! That's just my opinion!!!

[@Damomcd1982]

A Super Smash Bros Hit maybe!?!

[@JustinMorgan105kg]

The Robot Chicken Legend of Zelda clip is hilarious. That's claymation though. I'm pretty sure I remember watching a Zelda cartoon when I was a kid too.

[@joslyncarter4813]

I agree. Especially because legend of Zelda is an epic fantasy. I could just imagine what that world would look like on screen.

The only movie that's close to legend of zelda is the movie LEGEND with Tom Cruise

Hollywood always reboots and remakes successful movies of the past. Movies like Super Mario Brothers that were hated by fans and bombed in box offices are the kinds of movies that should be rebooted and remade. I don't know why Hollywood doesn't do that. Everyone knows the director dropped the ball so it should be common practice for someone else to try to save the brand

[@standardofexcellence]

I was just thinking tbe same as they can only be better, the problem is hollywood sociologically by nature think too much of what everyone else thinks and too little of vision, leadership, and character so in order to make this they would have to think outside the box or the wallet in this case in order for it to be made and as succesful as one of the remakes that was actually good financially (they only risk badly on the one's that are, but Everyone knows those)

[@roylinfordadams]

@@standardofexcellence to be fair with the rise of Marxism being shoved into everything coming out of Hollywood, even though low box-office turnouts and oceans of bad reviews have been showing that fans do not like it, Hollywood continues to push it. Showing that they neither care about their wallets nor about what the public thinks.

[@DefNotMyBurner]

Unapologetic Pagan make it animated. Just like how it is in games but improving the landscaping because it’s a movie now

[@wrk0046]

It's about the bottom line. Why remake something that lost money when you can remake something that made money? Its a quick payday. I agree with you on what should be remade but the powers that be in Hollywood see it differently unfortunately and as a result remakes and reboots seldom have the same financial or critical success as the original.

[@txbatfan6647]

its a fun movie to watch. it had big Marketing behind it. the Soundtrack and Action figures were great

[@PetaHatingChris42]

Harold Ramis, who was apparently a fan of the game, was offered the directing position for this movie, but turned it down to do Groundhog Day instead. I'd say a good move on his part.

[@drhacknslashzombietimelord6768]

I really enjoyed this one. Actually saw it opening day. It's no great art, it is what I call 90 minutes of popcorn munching fun.

[@robertrourk1334]

I still think you should review the adventures of Baron Munchausen

[@unclevincenzo]

I remember my mother taking me to see this movie in theaters. After the movie, I remember being disgusted. She took me shopping at like a Kmart afterward and browsing the toy aisle, we see action figures from the movie. She asked if I wanted her to buy them for me, I promptly said "NO!"
Years later, I showed my son who is also a Super Mario fan the film and his eyes were glued to the screen. After the film he exclaims, "That was AWESOME!!"

The italian end credits with Satriani's Speed of light Is something that i will remember forever...

[@thetjhproject]

Wouldn't mind seeing a Metroid movie. I like the Mario movie and was disappointed we didn't get a sequel. But being a prequel to the game makes sense. Could u imagen if they made the goombas like in the game?! They wouldn't fit on set

[@fredjones2170]

thetjhproject I would sell my soul for a Metroid movie. Just as long as it’s not like Other M

[@Grillenheimer]

Man a Metroid movie would be awesome!!! Flying glowing alien jellyfish cometh!!!! Could you imagine our female heroine running through some derelict base finding a freeze gun add-on not knowing what to do with it. And then seeing a large open circular area looking up with aliens floating around... seeing her try to freeze them to jump from frozen alien to frozen alien to get up the shaft!? Maybe using some sort of device that can sense heat signatures that would have to be destroyed before a temperature type door could be opened to get to the core of the base to blow the alien infested compound up but that's where Mother Brain is located. Keep it simple stick with the original game material. Maybe some extra characters orbiting to help with her extraction after say 2 other people that were with her group die at the hands of the bosses or... something leaving just her to finish the job.

[@mikecrawford2029]

They need to make a Metroid movie that would be awsome

[@chad3274]

I revisited this movie back in the Spring of 2020. I guess we have all done things that we weren't too proud of during the pandemic.

[@sonicmario64]

You know a movie is going to fail in the box office if the directors and actors don't get along with each other during its production. But even so, I'm able to enjoy the Super Mario Bros. movie for its acting and special effects despite it having almost nothing to do with one of the best video games in the world.

[@mikeyfn-a6684]

Th@ts funny. I just fell asleep watching John Leguizamo's new stand-up special on Netflix lastnight (it wasn't bad just late)..Always loved that crazy distant relative of mine 😂

[@BigHead2615]

My one, true, guilty pleasure film. I was just talking about it again the other day with my younger cousin - I still love this film. However, I'll admit, it's a TERRIBLE film based on SMB, and as such, I still find enjoyment for other reasons, than being a film-adaptation of one of the most popular and iconic video games ever.

[@drytoast1]

Damn you minty, Stop reminding me of all these cool movies i loved and adding interesting facts im trying to be a cynical grown up but your uploads keep sending me back to my happy place.

[@kagato82]

Love the pic of Hoskins and Leguizamo playing Gameboys.

[@The-Artless-Gallery]

I really enjoyed this movie. Thanks, Minty

[@markshaw270]

I was so disappointed with this movie when it came out, even though Bob Hoskins starred in it. r.i.p Bob

[@alexanderzurba7680]

It would've been interesting if there was a sequel in the works, didn't matter when but it should definitely happen.

[@NikkiMKarLen]

Great shirt, Minty Minty. This is definitely a standalone movie, no sequel or re-imagining needed.
