- As we get closer to the release of the Super Mario Bros. movie in April, let's take a look back on the movie that started it all. The Super Mario Bros. film from 1993 gets a ton of flack for not sticking the landing but what happened? What did this movie end up getting right? The film would have almost looked like Mario games at that time but there were many bumps along the way.

I’ve seen enough of this movie for one lifetime after this video
We appreciate your sacrifice.
@@zedchillman2685 lol fr
I haven't. I love this movie both ironically and not.
I only watched it for a few seconds
But it's a classic!
If you pretend this movie has nothing to do with the games it's a lot of fun.
i mean... it ACTUALLY doesn't... bowser (or "king koopa") is human in the movie, the goombas are instead lizard people, and i think the koopas are practically non-existent
It's basically a fine movie, just not a good Mario movie
I mean, bob hoskins and john leguizamo resemble mario and luigi enough. I guess it's more an 80s style scifi film, gave total recall vibes. I actually enjoyed this more than the pixar one. The pixar one hit all the right notes but it was very by the numbers.
Useless fact: This is my most favorite movie, not kidding
Same
Same
yup, same
It’s so bad it’s so funny
Loved this as a kid and still do
I loved this movie as a kid. Plus, it gave us the gem "Nothing's impossible, Mario. Improbable, unlikely, but never impossible." Which will go down as the greatest thing mankind has ever written.
I loved it too. I remember my mother had taped it on VHS for me and I would watch it over and over, commercials and all
you guys are all lying to yourselves,you guys are a disgrace to even call yourselves mario fans
It also gave us, "trust the fungus" which I am overly fond of.
You can love the movie for what it is, and it is not a Mario Brothers movie. I loved as a kid, too, and also love the s***fest that it was the behind-the-scenes...but it wasn't supposed to be a parody, an alternative reality or anything like that... I like it as its own thing now as an adult.
@@ActuallyAFungus as an actual fungus I can understand the bias.
Regarding Iggy and Spike being anti-Koopa, I always figured their enhan ed intelligence lead to them being savvy enough to see switching sides was the best option. I thought it was kind of funny, considering Koopa made them smarter so they could be more effective minions. XD
I think if they left the rap scene in they may have alluded to that. 😂 I gotta double check the script to see what was removed.
Yeah, I just imagine there's an offscreen conversation that sees them decide to betray Koopa, while they're driving to get the rock.
I never heard about this movie when it first came out, but about 10 years after that I found it in a thrift store as a teen and loved it. I couldn't believe Nintendo had allowed for something so creative to be released. I still enjoy it every once in a while
my uncle works at Nintendo and said Daniellea's middle name is Jimmy, like the warioware character who she went on to inspire. hope this helps
Oh.
Pin this now.
trust me bro
Such a cluster but i love it. It's so bad it's memorable and entertaining in a "who thought this would work?"
It's interesting how earlier versions of the script had Toad as the guide to the Mushroom Kingdom considering that that's what his characters doing in the new animated film.
As I was reading that version of the script, I was thinking the same thing. Not saying they took inspiration from the original scripts since Toad seems like the most natural choice to be a guide in the Mushroom Kingdom but it's totally possible.
@@TheMentok Well, Odysee made the interdimensional travel scene cannon so you never know!
🤔
I read the "sequel" comic a few years back it was written quite well, shame it was never finished.
It was super sexual and made me turn into a Bone Toblerone.
Ah this makes me think I need to rewatch this great movie. It's been a few months and for it's time is a gem
Fun fact: I am not sure if it’s true but I have heard before that Scapelli was based on Forman Spike from Wrecking Crew but it seems to be like the Pauline last name thing in that when I looked for a source I only found the Mario Movie Archive Site.
I always thought the Goombas in the game were the same as just the heads of the Goombas in this movie, just on top of mobilized bodies. Granted, bringing the enemies of the game to real-life would be a challenge, humanizing the characters like Toad and Big Bertha was a bad idea. I am sure with creative minds, a giant fish could have been added in.
This movie will always have a special place in my heart
When I saw this movie as a kid, I didn't really question it being that different from the source material, I was kind of used to it. Batman was a departure from the Adam West series I was familiar with, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles didn't have Rocksteady, Bebop, or Krang, and the same was true of video game adaptations of movies. And Mario Super Show had a few departures from the game as well. I just kind of accepted things will be different across different media. I know the Mario movie was quite a higher degree of different than those other adaptations, but I still didn't mind it and loved that movie, in fact, I think I love it even more today than I did when I was a kid. I do know it has problems and a troubled development, as you mentioned, but I enjoy it despite that. I especially love the dynamic between Mario and Luigi. The only thing I really didn't like as a kid was that Koopa was only a dinosaur for like two seconds before he transformed into ooze. As a kid, the one thing you always anticipated in movie adaptations was the moment the characters take shape and resemble what you know them as. Mario and Luigi had that. Koopa really didn't get that.
I agree with you there. Mario and Luigi I remember never questioning once when I watched this as a kid and it made things feel more familiar at the end of the day. Seeing all the potential ideas they dropped makes me wonder what movie would have been if they went with the initial scripts -- who knows maybe it would have been even worse if they didn't take this departure
@@TheMentok I think it would've been worse because the game world of Mario belongs in animation and not live action, so it makes more sense to make it more of a dystopia in a different dimension than the mushroom kingdom.
Source material??? Yeah it's like Gone With the Wind!
This movie also has a special place in my heart. It was one of the first films I remember being excited for as a kid, and the soundtrack was the first CD I ever owned. It's a pretty good movie in of itself, just not a good Mario movie.
I really like the portrayal of the bros in this movie and I think it's really funny.
Great review man! Those other ideas they had looked amazing, I would've loved to see Arnold as Bowser! It's also funny how learning about the development hell films like this go through end up becoming far more enjoyable than the film itself. I mean it had it's moments but wow did they drop the ball on so many levels. Congratulations on 50k subs too man!
I can’t believe it’s been exactly 30 years sense this movie was released
And now 30 years later we’re getting a proper Mario movie that will be amazing
I really feel President Koopa, as a movie character was the inspiration for “Dr Evil”. Like seriously, watching this movie as a adult I got such Dr Evil vibes from Dennis haha.
I considered mentioning this but it never got to my final script. I always thought the same 😂
@@TheMentok haha I’m just glad I’m not the only one who thought that 😀
I really would have liked to have seen the Wizard of Oz style Super Mario movie. The look of it, how the land was linear, was almost like a real Super Mario level. Too bad they didn't stick with that idea.
Back in 1980s:*me watching start* me:I've seen enough since the start
Man I wish we lived in the time where the original vision of the movie stayed more intact. I think it would've been good. It would be cool to see a fan animated remake of the movie.
There was originally going to be one, but it got abandoned.
the one that everyone wanted to do which was the action cyberpunk version, that got constantly changed on set by the studios who though they were salvaging it but were really just making it worse. not the game accurate one, that would've looked dumb in live action.
@@Charles12 No it wouldn't have.
@@worthybutter2004 how so?
@@Charles12 It would have made for something akin to those dark fantasy films.
New Mario movie looks amazing!!
Nah. 😃
@@Trevor_NewJerusalem Okay your opinion.
This movie certainly existed.
Gave me the Bone Toblerone
Also, Mentok; if you'd like to know more about the famous "Max Headroom Incident", check out Minty Comedic Arts on that subject as well. And Thanks for your amazing video too! =)
What we got, I still enjoyed it. And I wish we got that Mad Max death race scene....
You’re so talented. Loving your channel!!
22:59
The fact there's a toy of the Devo Gun considering what they were in the movie, is just really funny to me.
I *LOVE* this movie! I know it's not that accurate to the games but it's a really entertaining movie.
I actually really enjoy this movie… it might just be nostalgia because I saw this in theaters when I was a kid and watched it on VHS a lot.
I was tripping out on all the signs being backwards 😂😂
Even though the movie was a critical bomb it has a place in my heart. Plus the music it let me discover Was (Not Was)'s Walk the Dinosaur, Joe Satriani's Speed of Light and Frankie Yankovic's Somewhere my Love.
listening to the description of what this movie could have been, it really does remind me of a sort of live action version of the newer SMB movie coming out soon
goombas in the games: funni mushroom with stubby legs
goombas in the movie: lizard person
Amazing! I had NO idea there was a manga adaptation! But if ya'll are still curious, Joblo, Matt McMuscles, ColinLooksBack, and Gaming Historian have also produced some very informative videos on this movie as well. (Also Minty Comedic Arts.) But that's not to say your presentation wasn't great as well! Together, I think they paint a very full picture on the subject. ; )
I think it's very coincidental that Daisy's necklace in this film was also used as a similar plot device in the 1986 Mario anime movie.
I know they had a couple of homages to Mario Kart (like the mattress chase) but it seems like such a missed opportunity there wasn’t a direct one. All of those cars on the street could have been like the ATVs Spike and Iggy were briefly in. That chase would have been a perfect set up. There was even a little question mark box on the screen of the police car for a sec!
I noticed the writer Ed Solomon was involved to whatever extent. He’s the reason the first Men in Black is so awesome and his absence is why the sequels are so weak. It would very much surprise me if the coolest ideas in the movie weren’t his.
By the way, I was so disappointed when I realized the web comic would never be completed. I was really enjoying it. Before I finished your video, I was planning on linking it to you, lol
I only watched this movie once as a kid. Don't remember if I liked it or not, but I do remember watching it felt like a fever dream
? lol
This movie is still one of my favorite movies. I am sad that people see it as a failure, just because it's different from the expectations.
Your editing is the best I can’t stop laughing
Did you mention the extended VHS cut where someone added an extra 20 minutes to the film?
I didn’t know Mario movie had a manga adaptation
this is a great video. thank you for making this
You’re so funny omg 😅
Awesome video! Fun to see myself pop up haha I have a video in the works hopefully sometime in the near future will be done!
Thanks for showing off the merch! :)
WoW! Great video! Never heard of it. Really…looks great! I found it interesting when you said, it was based on the game. Must see👍✨
We need more supah mario brazzas
Wow, even a sequel to this film was left unfinished
Damn
This is one of my childhood movies I enjoyed even with all the problems it has & have watched many time through the years. But until watching this video I never knew they had an end credit scene with Iggy & Spike and I own a copy lol.
The take they had that was similar to Alice in Wonderland would have worked perfectly, seeing how much of the original SMB game is inspired by that story (up to an including the mushroom that makes you grow). And Wonderland is a wicked, strange and colorful place, unlike Dinohattan, which is just a slightly darker version of the real world.
Despite all of its issues, I still genuinely like this movie. Sure, taken as a SMB movie it's trash, but taken on its own merits it's a pretty fun post-apocalyptic story. It's kind of a miracle that's in any way coherent after so many behind-the-scenes problems, though.
And it's driving me crazy, but I could _swear_ Mario's girlfriend was named Pauline in the movie. I guess Daniella is a similar-sounding enough name that I could be confused.
I unironically love this movie.
I was obsessed with this movie when I was a kid in the 90s. Can’t even tell you how many times I rented it.
I didnt get the Manhatten Joke until he said it, then I laughed.
AND I'D DO IT AGAIN!!!!
It’s a dumb joke but I’ll admit I didn’t catch it until I discussed this in the Bowser video I made a few months back 😂
Lol
Maybe it’s my ASD, but I hated this movie when I was a kid. I had the first Nintendo as a kid, loved playing it, would play with my cousins. So I was realizing looking forward to seeing it, and when I did it was nothing like the game. And it was so disjointed and confusing I never finished it.
I loved this movie as a kid and I bought it last month to rewatch it. It was obviously different from the game, but thats what made it so memorable.
The new mario movie will be more representative of the games, but it'll be lost in a sea of animated kids movies all done in the same cutsie style.
All I know is I'll have the Bone Toblerone
Oh this is going to be an extra good one 😄!
30 years later a better version
People need to realize that the Super Mario Bros. Movie (1993) was an Elseworlds story before it became a thing; it's an alternate reality; the elements from the game are there but altered to match the world. And at least it had Mario and Luigi working together instead of one brother needing to save the other. Hopefully, Luigi still gets his time to shine in the new movie.
Ikr. They really should have been together for their first animated movie. Especially with the movie title of mario bros.
I really hope hes in the movie more then what we are seeing..
@@kaitlando636 if anything the first movie should have been called the super Mario movie in the sequel should have been the super Mario Bros
@@dubbman44 ikr. So true
You're saying that like it's a valid excuse... 🙄 Get a grip, people don't need to realize anything: it's not a Mario Brothers movie!
*If despite of that* people liked it, great, but it fails to be a Mario Brothers movie... that's the reality.
@@redacted2275 it failed because it people were mad it wasn't 100% true to the game I like the movie and even I can acknowledge that, but come on people did you really want Bob Hopkin saying let's a go and John leguizamo going okey dokey.
One thing about this movie tho was they didn’t mention peach once . I love Daisy but Peach not being involved in the movie ????? Like why ???? I never learned why peach was never considered for the movie
Great review
GOOMBA walk tall , GO GOOMBA~
Wow, thanks for pointing out that's Mojo Nixon as Toad. I know him for his hit single, "Tie My Pecker to My Leg", it's a classic.
watched it once at the movies..... and as a kid.... hated it. NOW, I want to write and direct a new one...
I really want to see what this movie would have been if it had used The Wizard of Oz parody script and had Jim Henson’s Creature Shop working in the special effects, puppets and animatronics.
I loved the cast and remember loving this movie. I rewatched and it seem like you need a child like imagination to fill in all the plot holes.
I saw this in the theater and don't think I've seen it since
Mario and Luigi in wizard of oz is interesting
I remember seeing it in the theater. It wasn't what I expected at the time but I still liked it
and people wonder why I hate live action movies,WELL HERE IS YOUR FUCKING ANSWER,HERE IT IS
Goomba go goomba
7:46 Don't tell me this wasn't planned waaaaaaay in advance.
When I was a little kid I thought iggy and spiky were wario and waluigi
pfft, greatest movie ever starring Mojo F'kn Nixon RIP 2/8/24.
Loved this as a kid. Still love it now.
Good fun miss movies like this. Better on older tvs
Yeah, I have higher hopes for the next Mario movie. I was pretty disappointed when I first heard Illumination was making it as they only do the bare minimum on making movies (and I always thought, even back then, Pixar or Dreamworks should be the ones to do a Mario movie). But so far the trailers look pretty promising. I just hope they don't screw this up somehow.
But Pixar doesn't do adaptations (as of writing this).
I’ve seen this movie *maybe* 3 times and I never knew it had post credit scenes.
The “beep beep beep” at 9:44 made me lose it
What kinda dirty pictures did they have on Bob Hoskins to get him to go along with this film?
6:07 Mario laughing at luigi
This movie Is a fever Dream
We never learn Wario and Waluigi's last names, but I like to think they're Scapelli cousins.
The cartoon was a good time but also wild
in my opinion i loved the movie. to me its a classic and i remember as a kid i loved it, i still do up to this day. i remember when i got back from the theaters after watching the mario movie 2023, i got home and looked for the 1993 movie online and watched it, to see the similarities and differences. they are very different from each other with one being close to just like the game and the other almost like nothing at all, but we gotta remember nintendo gave them CREATIVE LIBERTY to do what they wanted with the movie and it became what it is, and i liked it, i also liked the daisy a lot in that movie, and also just john leguizamo as luigi was *chefs kiss* ❤️
When this movie came out, I was adamant that my dad take me to see it. Well, it took four theaters to find one airing it and we almost went to see Groundhog Day.
Yeah, it's bad and I kind of wish I'd seen Groundhog Day instead, in retrospect the movie is a cult classic.
Iggy and Spike become anti-Koopa after he puts them in the evo-chamber thing to make them more intelligent. Or so I recall.
this version of film makes me think the 1st script should have been done by Warner Bros,MGM,Universal or Don Bluth but were probably doing some stuff at that time
Illumination is like are version of the Super Mario Movie will be better and the way it supposed to be. And I'm glad it s coming out this year.
Dino-Hattan is eerily similar in design to Tim Burton’s Gotham City
7:48 why does this give me deja vu
@7:48 Twin Towers Falling in the Super Mario Movie
I need to buy a home video release of this film.
I have no plans to sleep anyways.
4:36 I wish this happened for the new mario movie
It's wild that they spent so much money on Yoshi that didn't even matter and could have been cut but the final battle with Koopa looks like that
think i saw this movie once.... i was utterly bewildered that WTH is this even supposed to be
🤔 why do I have the feeling I already saw this video from TheMentok a few weeks ago?
this movie demands a remake.
I remember being 8 years old in 1993 when this came out and watching as a kid. I remember disliking this movie as a kid because it felt like it was created by someone who knew nothing about Super Mario, perhaps glanced at the SNES instruction Manual, and was like....I got this.
2:48 no frickin way 💀
the Max headroom series is pretty good
