I do love the conceit of a villain frustrated with how stupid his minions are so he makes them smarter. But now they're so intelligent that they realize he is the problem and they join the heroes. I love it.
The most shocking thing to come out of this reaction for me, is that Eric apparently didn't know Daisy was an actual character, and seems like he believed she was just from this movie to replace the name Peach?
To be fair, when this movie came out Peach wasn't called Peach in the US, she was simply Princess Toadstool. A lot of fans assumed that the movie character's full name was Daisy Toadstool.
@Rocket1377 which is odd. I knew when the movie came out, Peach was her name. Funny enough, from the mario super show, cause she called her self Princess P one time, and I read it was cause in Japan her name was Peach, lol
In a 2007 interview, Hoskins said, "The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Bros. It was a fuckin' 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! Fuckin' nightmare. Fuckin' idiots." He and Leguizamo got drunk before each day of filming and continued to drink between takes. In a 2011 interview, he was asked, "What is the worst job you've done?", "What has been your biggest disappointment?", and "If you could edit your past, what would you change?" His answer to all three was Super Mario Bros. His son, Jack Hoskins, is a fan of the film and praised his performance. Dennis Hopper disparaged the production, recounting in 2008: "It was a nightmare, very honestly, that movie. It was a husband-and-wife directing team who were both control freaks and wouldn't talk before they made decisions. Anyway, I was supposed to go down there for five weeks, and I was there for 17. It was so over budget." He added, "I made a picture called Super Mario Bros., and my six-year-old son at the time - he's now 18 - he said, 'Dad I think you're probably a pretty good actor, but why did you play that terrible guy King Koopa in Super Mario Bros.?' And I said, 'Well Henry, I did that so you could have shoes,' and he said, 'Dad, I don't need shoes that badly.'" Mathis said in 2018 for the film's 25th anniversary: "There are a lot of people who are really excited to meet me because I was Princess Daisy. That's all you can ask for as an actor-that your work, and something you were part of, left an impression on people and makes them feel good." Co-director Morton reflected on the film in 2016 as a "harrowing" experience. Morton felt "very uneasy" being put in the position of having to defend the new script. In addition, working with Dennis Hopper was "really, really hard. Really hard. I don't think [Hopper] had a clue what was going on". He described the experience as humiliating, but was proud of the film's originality. For the film's 20th anniversary, Morton said: "I wanted parents to really get into it. At that time, there was a very hardcore movement against video games, and a lot of anti-video games sentiment. I wanted to make a film that would open it up and get parents interested in video games." Co-director Jankel said, "I do feel in my heart, it was a hell of an achievement to have made it, under those circumstances, and it has in time, happily, achieved cult status I am often hearing how many people loved it growing up, watched it repeatedly, and are genuine fans." Producer Joffé remains proud: "It's not that I defend the movie, it's just that, in its own extraordinary way, it was an interesting and rich artefact and has earned its place. It has strange cult status."He never heard what Yamauchi or Nintendo thought of the finished product. He said, "They never phoned up to complain They were very polite," though Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé said in 2017 that the film "left a really bad taste in the mouth of our developers" and that he had heard "horror stories" about its production from Nintendo employees. Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto said: "[In] the end, it was a very fun project that they put a lot of effort into The one thing that I still have some regrets about is that the movie may have tried to get a little too close to what the Mario Bros. video games were. And in that sense, it became a movie that was about a video game, rather than being an entertaining movie in and of itself.
"that the movie may have tried to get a little too close to what the Mario Bros. video games were" ... seems a polite way of saying "they should have made a different movie".
In the directors' defense, it sounds like they made it with good intentions rather than another money-grab exploiting a successful franchise. While it won't win any praise from seasoned critics, it'll remain in my childhood memories: a basic-cable flick playing in the background as I fiddled with LEGOs.
Bob Hoskins' Brooklyn accent for Mario "works" for us older millennials because the high-pitched Italian accent from Charles Martinet was still a few years away when we saw this, and Mario from the Super Mario Bros. Supershow was likewise treated with a gruff, Brooklyn accent by Lou Albano. Plus, for me at least, I think it was also the fact that Hoskins used pretty much the same accent for Eddie Valiant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, so it was already a familiar, welcome voice to expect when seeing him onscreen. Threw me for a loop years later when I found out he was British! haha
Martinet has actually said he knew nothing about Mario when he auditioned for the part, so it’s possible that because he wasn’t aware of what Mario originally sounded like (i.e the gruff Brooklyn accent), he was able to stand out by doing something entirely different.
@@akakay0131 martinet was actually told to do a brooklyn accent when he auditioned and when talking about it in an interview he did the more traditional brooklyn accent he was thinking (sounds similar to wario's voice). He decided to go with the cartoonish italian accent because it was more friendly and welcoming. Especially for children
Fun Fact Yoshi & The Goombas are voiced by Frank Welker A.K.A. The King of Voice-Actors and best known as Scooby Doo & Megatron among thousands of other roles!
So, you were wondering about the green goo on the floor when they put Koopa into the chair for the de-evolution machine. That is actually from a deleted scene (that is hereon TH-cam) where one of the workers was de-evolved into primordial slime. There are other deleted scenes too, a prominent one being Iggy and Spike rapping in the club about Koopa's downfall. I would recommend checking them out. They're pretty cool/fun scenes.
42:30 regarding the Wrestlmania stuff, the movie came out in May 1993 so that years Mania had already come out by then. The 94 event would actualy take place in NYC though!
Really? Calling it fungus instead of mushrooms, having lizard people instead of koopas, having king Koopa turn into a weird T-Rex, having a fungus be the father of the princess, who btw is born from an egg, the many romances of Mario, Luigi's lack of a mustache, the age gape between the brothers, the entire set of Mushroom Kingdom as a dystopian Brooklyn?? And the weirdest and most wrong thing in the movie for you was conceptually merging Peach's and Daisy's character?? What are you smoking? Hahahahaha
I don't remember if I'm remembering this correct, but they used to play this movie on Disney Channel a lot, that's when I first seen it as a kid. If I'm remembering right. It just seems like a weird movie for Disney channel to play, so Im unsure if I'm remembering this right or not.
Idk if it's just me but I found this movie unironically really enjoyable. The constant car crashes and explosions, the random fights breaking out everywhere, and the insane world design of the Mushroom kingdom were all really fun to watch. The comedy was honestly really funny too, most of the jokes landed in my opinion. It may not be a "great" movie but it's certainly not anywhere near as bad as some people claim. If you want a truly awful movie, go watch The Room, because this doesn't even come close to that movie's surreal viewing experience.
The stuff Simon (the cop) slipped in in the devo chamber is from a deleted scene. One of the technicians sneezed, annoying Koopa, so he had the guy devolved into primordial ooze.

Daisy's actress was also Frank Castle's wife in The Punisher with Thomas Jane and John Travolta. Having seen the new movie, I was honestly shocked that with as much as people disparage this film, the new one is so similar to it. It's so similar, it's basically a 3d remake. I love this movie. It may not be the best video game movie, but I enjoy it for what it is. I like it more than the new one.
YES Finally they make it to this movie, this is the reason why I have a patreon so I wont miss out on these early movie reactions. awesome choice guys still waiting for overlord just saying
Okay so in my opinion, I don’t find this movie bad. But the new movie is much more awesome then this! But the one thing I mostly love about this movie, is that the one and only Frank Welker voices Yoshi, Goomba’s and the other creatures in this film!❤
Dennis Hopper said in an interview one time his son asked him why he played King Koopa and he told him he did it so he could have shoes. His son replied "I'd rather be barefoot, Dad."
The stories about the making of this movie are probably greater than the movie itself. Everything from Bob Hoskin's hand getting smashed by the van door, to copious amounts of alcohol and John being drunk while filming on set along with Bob just to make it through the day. Re-writes upon re-writes, and two directors that everyone hated. It's amazing we ever got another Mario Movie at all.
The music they were trying to hunt down, reminded me a lot of the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids soundtrack so maybe that's what Eric was trying to remember? Another possibility is the Beethoven movies. Also YES please watch the Super Mario Bros Super Show! Do the Mario!
The reason for Koopa's weird quirks like germaphobia and creepiness towards women is something you already mentioned: he, like almost every evil businessman from 80s and 90s media, was based on Donald Trump, who is famously both of those things.
I loved this as a kid. I still enjoy it, though I do resent it for the experience the actors had. Love all the main cast, so i feel bad enjoying it knowing the actors hated it.
Like Eric, I guess I haven't seen this since well before the year 2000. Maybe I only saw it once or twice at most right when it came out. So having this excuse to see it again... is a heck of a thing.
I still unironically think this is a good movie, and damn what other people think. I think it even works as a Mario movie, albeit in an alternate universe, not the one we see in the games. Kind of like how D&D has normal Fantasy Realms stuff, and then it's also got gritty and realistic Dark Sun.
I haven't watched this movie, but you know what it reminded me of? Not in terms of quality at all or story or anything, but just in terms of how chaotic it was and how crowded the shots are? Everything Everywhere All at Once. They called mammals "egg-suckers" because that's what they were in the time of dinosaurs--little proto-rodents that lived on seeds and bugs and tried to steal and eat eggs from larger animals like dinosaurs.
I'm fucking dying, by happenstance I started doing the "EVERYONE!!" bit myself half a second before Calvin did too. I'm starting to have terminal movie meme brain rot.
The directors of this had a part in developing and directing the pilot TV movie for Max Headroom. Once you watch that, the choices in this make much more sense.
Just watched Corridor Digital's breakdown on what this movie has done to the industry which surprised me. Watch it on the side even, its just great insight.
Born in 86. This was my shit as a kid. Loved hoskins and leguizamo. Just loved it, I mean fucking loveddd it. Haven’t seen it in so long. People need to react to who framed roger rabbit.
"Think they're gonna bone?" Bone? Bone?! *BONE!!!!"* "Mario talking about killing people?" Do you not remember this gem? "And if you do drugs, you go to hell before you die."
Look, I grew up in the 90s, it was the Mario Bros. film and I loved it so much that I even made a full length fan script for a sequel when I was 11. It's terrible, it isn't good. I love every piece of it.
I love this movie. I always have. When it came out, I took my dad to see this movie for his birthday. He paid for everything because I was eight years old
This was before the Gameboy games Super Mario Land 2: The Six Golden Coins and Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land. If this movie was made after them you know the Scapelli’s would have been named Wario Scapelli & Waluigi Scapelli.
I am so happy. 🤣😂 I still have this on VHS. The nostalgia hits hard and i wouldn't have it any other way. Hahahahaha. and @BlindWave ...the soundtrack reminds me of HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS maybe?
I realized the Super Nintendo had been out for a year when the screenplay was written, so the dinosaur stuff makes sense, but the fact that the original Super Mario Bros. game was almost eight, so they had three Mario games to take from when writing the script. This movie doesn’t even look like the game, but they used character names from the game is really bizarre. RiffTrax destroys this movie!
I remember being a kid over a friends house who had bunch of the dvds of the sonic cartoons and Mario and he also had this gem that we watched wayy too many times
In Germany we have a show called The Worst Movies of all Time. Every episode they show a bad movie and add funny commentary and discussions and stuff, it's very fun. Maybe it's because I saw this movie in that context for the first time, but I had a lot if fun with it😅
The song is Drive To Work On Instinct by Alan Silvestri, it does sound a bit like To Court and Pulled Over by John Debney from the Liar Liar Score. Though i too feel like i have heard this on something else.
I have this on DVD lol I forgot how good the casting was. John Leguizamo was/is so cute! He was perfect for a teen/youth movie. Bob Hoskins was hilarious. Loved him in Hook and Who Framed Roger Robbit as well. Dennis Hopper as the villain. The music is goofy, the storyline is silly, but the casting was great. 😂

Guys could you pls watch Indian movies again?
@BlindWave
Every time I watch you guys, it's like watching Mystery Science Theater 3000 again.
I feel like they were setting up Scapelli to become Donkey Kong in the sequel we never got.
I do love the conceit of a villain frustrated with how stupid his minions are so he makes them smarter. But now they're so intelligent that they realize he is the problem and they join the heroes. I love it.
Yeah, it's like... imagine if Shredder or Krang made Bebop and Rocksteady smarter.
It'd be kind of hilarious.

To be fair, when this movie came out Peach wasn't called Peach in the US, she was simply Princess Toadstool. A lot of fans assumed that the movie character's full name was Daisy Toadstool.
@@Rocket1377 also, Super Mario Land probably added to that confusion. The production of this movie was insane
I thought the same thing as a kid and was confused by her being Luigi’s love interest.
@Rocket1377 which is odd. I knew when the movie came out, Peach was her name. Funny enough, from the mario super show, cause she called her self Princess P one time, and I read it was cause in Japan her name was Peach, lol
ill be honest i didnt know this til i was pretty old.. never followed the story at all in the game

While it won't win any praise from seasoned critics, it'll remain in my childhood memories: a basic-cable flick playing in the background as I fiddled with LEGOs.
The best part about this movie is that the Mario and Luigi's full legal names are Mario Mario and Luigi Mario
Shigeru Miyamoto has confirmed that this is also canon for the games as well.
Well that's what it has to be.
The Mario Bros
It was that way in the super Mario super show
I mean they're called the Mario bros
And to think John and Bob were totally drunk on a lot of the scenes makes this even funnier.

it's so funny knowing that the actors behind Mario and Luigi were drunk on set for all of this
During the time that Super Mario Bros. (1993) came out, I was nine years old. RIP Bob Hoskins and Dennis Hopper.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Rick laugh this much 😂🤣
The room reaction 😂
Brooklyn 99
Rick’s joy is awesome to watch
Tucker and Dale vs Evil
The Star Wars Holiday Special
This is the first reaction I've actually willed into existence.
As a kid, the koopas gave me insane nightmares
The image of those Goombas dancing in the elevator plagues my brain every time I see a couple slow dancing together. I'm not exaggerating.
Out of all of the things wrong in this movie, I think the weirdest was combining Peach and Daisy into one person
Really? Calling it fungus instead of mushrooms, having lizard people instead of koopas, having king Koopa turn into a weird T-Rex, having a fungus be the father of the princess, who btw is born from an egg, the many romances of Mario, Luigi's lack of a mustache, the age gape between the brothers, the entire set of Mushroom Kingdom as a dystopian Brooklyn?? And the weirdest and most wrong thing in the movie for you was conceptually merging Peach's and Daisy's character?? What are you smoking? Hahahahaha
Did they, though?
Peach is Mario's girl. Daisy is Luigi's.
I remember watching this on TV as a kid. I thougt it was all just a weird fever dream.
Same.
I don't remember if I'm remembering this correct, but they used to play this movie on Disney Channel a lot, that's when I first seen it as a kid. If I'm remembering right. It just seems like a weird movie for Disney channel to play, so Im unsure if I'm remembering this right or not.

This movie is one of my guilty pleasures. Still sits on my shelf and dates judge me for it. Back when I had dates.
Perhaps if the movie was removed from the shelf, the dates would continue? 😅 There might be a correlation there.
Also, some fans have started a comic that continues where the movie left off at the end. It's nowhere near completion, but it is worth checking out!
Daisy's actress was also Frank Castle's wife in The Punisher with Thomas Jane and John Travolta.
Having seen the new movie, I was honestly shocked that with as much as people disparage this film, the new one is so similar to it. It's so similar, it's basically a 3d remake. I love this movie.

YES Finally they make it to this movie, this is the reason why I have a patreon so I wont miss out on these early movie reactions. awesome choice guys still waiting for overlord just saying
I know, right? To see them witness the rise of the sorcerer kingdom would be wonderful!
Overlord is hard-core.
A lot of peoples' headcanon is that Scappelli is the last name of Wario and Waluigi
Tbf Bob Hoskins as Mario is pretty spot on casting!
Been waiting for this since they brought it up on the Mortal Kombat reaction
6:00 oh my god it’s Aaron from a few years ago 😂
It certainly is an acquired taste and a total brain-off popcorn movie. Nice reaction. 👍🏾

Watch they're movie reaction on Tucker and Dale VS Evil. Rick just cried laughing.

I have so many fond memories watching this as a kid with my older brother, this is actually a good movie
I knew this reaction was going to be worth it because of the thumbnail 😂

I can’t believe they finally reacted to this. And I watched the time they reacted to the Honest Trailer for this movie. 😂
Okay so in my opinion, I don’t find this movie bad. But the new movie is much more awesome then this! But the one thing I mostly love about this movie, is that the one and only Frank Welker voices Yoshi, Goomba’s and the other creatures in this film!❤
This used to be my favorite movie as a kid! I actually didn't know at the time it was supposed to be about Mario from the video games lol
Dennis Hopper said in an interview one time his son asked him why he played King Koopa and he told him he did it so he could have shoes. His son replied "I'd rather be barefoot, Dad."

The reason for Koopa's weird quirks like germaphobia and creepiness towards women is something you already mentioned: he, like almost every evil businessman from 80s and 90s media, was based on Donald Trump, who is famously both of those things.
39:30 Is Eric thinking of Honey, I Shrunk the Kids? Because I always thought those were rather similiar in their scores.
As a Mario movie this sucks, but as a stupid campy 90s movie it is a masterpiece.
I loved this movie growing up 😂🙈 No regrets.
Same. I unironically, unapologetically have always loved this movie since seeing it as a kid in the 90s.
Same but in the early 2010s
I loved this as a kid. I still enjoy it, though I do resent it for the experience the actors had. Love all the main cast, so i feel bad enjoying it knowing the actors hated it.
Don't ever feel guilty for enjoying something intended to be entertaining. You do you, boo 👍
THIS MOVIE WAS A WEIRD FEVER DREAM!
I remember waking up to this movie one morning and still have no idea what I watched.
Like Eric, I guess I haven't seen this since well before the year 2000. Maybe I only saw it once or twice at most right when it came out. So having this excuse to see it again... is a heck of a thing.
It’s hilarious how half this movie Mario is in green and Luigi in red
Fun fact,John liguzamo (Luigi) and Samantha Mathis (peach) were actually a couple in real life.
THIS REMINDS ME OF THE SNL SKIT!
PRETTY MUCH ALL OF THE ACTORS WERE DRUNK MAKING THIS MOVIE!
I still unironically think this is a good movie, and damn what other people think. I think it even works as a Mario movie, albeit in an alternate universe, not the one we see in the games.
Kind of like how D&D has normal Fantasy Realms stuff, and then it's also got gritty and realistic Dark Sun.
Did the guys notice that Lena was played by Fiona Shaw - Maarva in Andor?
Everything good in this movie can be summed up in two words: terrified "Bob-omb" and excited "Monkey!"
The comments you guys said in this vid are so good, funny quotes great reaction as always
I haven't watched this movie, but you know what it reminded me of? Not in terms of quality at all or story or anything, but just in terms of how chaotic it was and how crowded the shots are? Everything Everywhere All at Once.
They called mammals "egg-suckers" because that's what they were in the time of dinosaurs--little proto-rodents that lived on seeds and bugs and tried to steal and eat eggs from larger animals like dinosaurs.
Oh my god, I have NEVER clicked on a video so fast. I cannot wait to watch this with y’all!
Lena in this film is also Maarva Andor in Andor.
"F@CK THE EMPIRE!"
Cocaine Bear just hit streaming. Hopefully they do that movie soon
I'm fucking dying, by happenstance I started doing the "EVERYONE!!" bit myself half a second before Calvin did too. I'm starting to have terminal movie meme brain rot.
It's crazy how this movie premiered two of the most integral VFX technologies that would shape the future of film lol
YES DAISY IS ACTUAL CHARACTER FROM THE MARIO GAMES! SHE FIRST APPEARED IN SUPER MARIO LAND!
43:18 Wrestlemania 9 was supposed to be in Caesar's Palace. Instead, they wound up holding the whole event in a Goddamn parking lot!
Just think. Jurassic Park came out the same year as this.
The directors of this had a part in developing and directing the pilot TV movie for Max Headroom. Once you watch that, the choices in this make much more sense.
I still can't believe that the only
Character in this movie to look like himself that wasn't the Super Mario Brothers was the Babomb
Just watched Corridor Digital's breakdown on what this movie has done to the industry which surprised me. Watch it on the side even, its just great insight.
yea this movie basically pioneered modern vfx systems, so who knows where independent vfx companies would be without this movie
Nothing to bring you into the colorful fun world of Mario like the Law & Order font. - Rifftrax
I’m like how they didn’t even wanna MENTION what happened to the twin towers in that one scene…. This movie truly is something 😅
I grew up watching this movie. It is easily one of my biggest guilty pleasures. 😂
Born in 86. This was my shit as a kid. Loved hoskins and leguizamo. Just loved it, I mean fucking loveddd it. Haven’t seen it in so long.
People need to react to who framed roger rabbit.
That was actually just a fun movie the reputation was so much worse, it was self aware that makes it great
Oh man you guys need to react to the The Pest.
This movie was a masterpiece!
Hahaha yeah, that’s rich
The amount of times they said plumbers,I was surprised no one from the crew referenced Ben 10
This is a marvel of modern cinema. They took a bland videogame and turned it into a dystopian scifi masterpiece. :>
"Think they're gonna bone?"
Bone? Bone?! *BONE!!!!"*
"Mario talking about killing people?"
Do you not remember this gem?
"And if you do drugs, you go to hell before you die."
Look, I grew up in the 90s, it was the Mario Bros. film and I loved it so much that I even made a full length fan script for a sequel when I was 11. It's terrible, it isn't good. I love every piece of it.
I love this movie. I always have. When it came out, I took my dad to see this movie for his birthday. He paid for everything because I was eight years old
This was before the Gameboy games Super Mario Land 2: The Six Golden Coins and Super Mario Land 3: Wario Land. If this movie was made after them you know the Scapelli’s would have been named Wario Scapelli & Waluigi Scapelli.
I am so happy. 🤣😂 I still have this on VHS. The nostalgia hits hard and i wouldn't have it any other way. Hahahahaha. and @BlindWave ...the soundtrack reminds me of HONEY I SHRUNK THE KIDS maybe?
I realized the Super Nintendo had been out for a year when the screenplay was written, so the dinosaur stuff makes sense, but the fact that the original Super Mario Bros. game was almost eight, so they had three Mario games to take from when writing the script. This movie doesn’t even look like the game, but they used character names from the game is really bizarre. RiffTrax destroys this movie!
I remember being a kid over a friends house who had bunch of the dvds of the sonic cartoons and Mario and he also had this gem that we watched wayy too many times
In Germany we have a show called The Worst Movies of all Time. Every episode they show a bad movie and add funny commentary and discussions and stuff, it's very fun. Maybe it's because I saw this movie in that context for the first time, but I had a lot if fun with it😅
hes a germ a phobe cause he hates fungus...he hates mushrooms. This movie is so underated.
The song is Drive To Work On Instinct by Alan Silvestri, it does sound a bit like To Court and Pulled Over by John Debney from the Liar Liar Score. Though i too feel like i have heard this on something else.
I have this on DVD lol
I forgot how good the casting was.
John Leguizamo was/is so cute! He was perfect for a teen/youth movie.
Bob Hoskins was hilarious. Loved him in Hook and Who Framed Roger Robbit as well.
Dennis Hopper as the villain.
The music is goofy, the storyline is silly, but the casting was great. 😂
