Remember that movie from the early 90s starring Bob Hoskins and Dennis Hopper that vaguely followed the story of Super Mario? Well, it’s getting a 20th anniversary screening in LA at the end of this month.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie was a financial disaster but over the years it’s blossomed into a wonderful cult film enjoyed by fans across the globe. On May 24, a screening will be held at midnight in the NuArt Theatre, Los Angeles.
The time has come! As the 20th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. draws near, we are pleased to announce a special screening that will be held at the NuArt Theatre in Los Angeles, CA on Friday, May 24th at midnight!
Screenwriter Parker Bennett and production designer David L. Snyder will be sitting on a Q & A panel, answering questions from fans.
We will also have a few other anniversary surprises, so be sure to join us in the festivities!

Why would they do such a thing, that movie was horrible :(
Exactly my thoughts…terrible
Horrible movies are cult classics ^.^
It means a lot to me cus I watched t as a 5/6 year old kid. So it’s nostalgic :)
But this film isn’t bad that its good… its bad that its horrible.
So suicide is a cult classic amongst people now a days?
I found it quite entertaining :)
why can’t it just die???
I hope someone confronts them for it being so horrible xD
Hope they also do something more for Mario’s anniversary this time then 15th, this was a pretty humorous movie but then again was very creepy and the casting wasn’t all to good…also the fact that Mario is Luigi’s father in the movie.
No i’m pretty sure he was his brother. Unless you were talking about their ages.
My first question for them… WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU GUYS THINKING?
Im guessing they are just doing it for fun and have a laugh at yourself, its not like they are making a sequel to it…man imagine how that would go out. o3o
Calm your shit James Rolfe
That was a very odd movie
Agreed, the movie was VERY weird. It’s one of those movies that are painful to watch.
It took one a long time to forget this injustice of cinematography, and once more it rises from the ashes and stares us in the eye like a goomba about to be mercilessly crushed by an almighty kuribo’s boot.
However, it IS better than the Mortal Kombat sequels…so there’s that!
The movie itself was tolerable, but it just wasn’t Super Mario Bros. It was a joke to the Super Mario Bros. games. They got EVERYTHING wrong. Dennis Hopper as Bowser? John Leguizamo as Luigi (with no mustache)? Daisy instead of Peach? Yoshi not big enough to ride? Goombas that were giants with shrunken heads? Ugh! I’m gonna stop right there.
I love this movie! xD

I love this movie, i hope they do the same here in Orlando.
Suicide Rates will rise that day… those sick bastards!
Since last year I’ve been working on a better Mario movie for Disney, it’ll be a huge improvement over this one, it’ll be CGI like the games, it will have dark and sad moments like Toy Story 3, and here’s a cast list I suggested:
Mario-Mark Wahlberg (w/o Italian accent)
Luigi-Robin Williams (read Mario)
Bowser-Gary Oldman
Peach-Amy Adams
Daisy-Natalie Portman
Toad-Seth Rogen
Yoshi-Dana Carvey
Wario-Jack Black (read Mario)
Waluigi-Adam Sandler (read Mario
Professor E.Gadd-Jim Carrey w/German accent
Donkey Kong-Arnold Schwarzenegger
Diddy Kong-Chris Tucker
Kamek-Ray Liotta
Lakitu-Joe Pesci
Boom Boom-Hulk Hogan
Nabbit-Christopher Walken
Hammer Bro-Conan O’Brien
Sledge Bro-Jack Nicholson
Boomerang Bro-Jeff Dunham…and his little friends
Fire Bro-Martin Scorsese
Ice Bro-James Woods
Bowser Jr-Justin Bieber
Toadsworth-John Hurt
Rosalina-Angelina Jolie
King Toadstool-Robert De Niro
I remember seeing this movie as a kid. Just thought of it as weird back then.
The biggest problem is that a movie like his was doomed from the start. The Mario series isn’t made for live-action. It’s too cartoony to really keep the feel of the games. Any future movie needs to be CGI.
If you want a live-action Nintendo film, you’d probably have to go either Zelda or Metroid.
I love this movie. If you actually pay attention to the story, it’s pretty cool. Humans evolved from dinosaurs vs. humans evolved from primates. Interesting to me. Plus it had comedy.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I see no problem with this. If you don’t like it, just don’t go. I happened to like the movie. It holds some nostalgic value to me and I thought it was a fun experience. Sure, I wouldn’t mind seeing a movie get released that actually resembles the game, but this was a good movie nonetheless.
Do you know what makes this movie enjoyable?
Looking at it as a spoof.

Why would anyone want to remind anyone this movie (if you can even call it that) ever existed?
I found this film very good, it’s a darker Mario world and reminds me of Blade Runner. I think it’s a good thing they do something different from the obvious (some people don’t understand that).
Maybe not the best adaptation film, but in a weird way, I really like this movie. It’s just so much fun.

If there was a free drum machine/midi keyboard for blackberry ..
I’m looking for any Midi files so that I can broaden my Synthesia library. Any websites that are at least guaranteed safe or have a very low chance of obtaining unwanted items?.
