Don't let what anyone says about this movie fool you. This is ONE OF THE BEST MOVIES OF ALL TIME. I grew up watching this. I watched it over a dozen times, and it got better each time. I bought it on VHS and DVD, it is that good. When I was a kid, I would pause the show and take pictures. That's right, I made my own screenshots before I even had a computer.

EPIC is the only way to describe this movie.

I love the AVGN and Nostalgia Critic, but I have to disagree with them. This movie was amazing, and I will watch it any day of the week.

This Movie Is Bull-S@#t

horrible movie how can someone make a movie so far fro the games

This movie disappointed a lot of children. Myself included.

When I watched this as a kid, I seriously thought it was the best movie ever made. Now I think its corny, cheesy and horribly made.

LOL this was good movie too me.
I cry in the end tho...

This movie is disgraced to the real Mario Bros. Don't give me wrong, I love Mario Bros. Only the games, Anime, and the cartoons. But this.... Horrible.

I understand how people can hate this film, but I still love it

the writers from nintendo power magazine made it sound like this movie was going to be mindblowing as they were showing production photos in one page. and even with those photos you could see how rancid it would eventually turn out

BALLS.

i think Yoshi was the only thing that was closely related to the game. but most movies based off of game suck any way

what was up with yoshi? They might as well have just used a cgi yoshi (as awful as it would've looked back then) it would still be better than the animatronic jurassic park looking thing.

Oh god, this movie SUCKED! It was just pathetic. A complete disgrace to a classic video game series

people rant on this movie but what did u expect when you heard live action mario bros movie

Haters gonna hate, I loved this movie as a kid and it's still a guilty pleasure today.

I was very hopeful when i heard it was coming out but when i saw it a great sadness filled me then emptiness just a god awful movie to each his own i guess.

I thought the fact that it was based on one of the greatest franchise games in history made this movie interesting,and i gotta be honest it wasn't as bad as people describe it.i would definitely pay to see a sequel.

It made me cringe watching the movie the first time. "Mario and Luigi use rocket boots, WTF?! Goombas and Koopas are big giant monsters with small lizard heads, WTF?! Yoshi is a real looking reptilian lizard. WTF?!" Over and over again pointing every small thing wrong with this movie.

I think the only thing they remotely got right was the Bomb-ombs. I mean, god. And this movie alone along with very few others before it, got the ball rolling for many more cringing video game to movie adaptations for years to come.

its been a looong time since i've seen this movie some people didn't have positive reviews about this 1 but i liked it

This movie is so crappy, that's it's awesome.What did you expect? It's based off Super Mario, by people who probably didn't play video games.

I actually enjoyed this movie

you know, i actually liked this movie. even if i have vague memory of it, it still was awesome.

i think movie is not bad but a lot of pepole hate it i liked it

"can you make a movie out of a video game?"

well after watching this one, hell no

OMG! this was amazin! i got it on dvd not long ago, was just as good as i remember it lol

Too late. He's already dead. RIP.

hey dennis hopper! can you say "bob-omb" one more time?

This film is NOT bad.

haha i remember they played this movie on super channel all the time

i freakiin love this movie i would totally buy it if i knew where to find it

i loved this movie as a child but i bet if i go back and watch it now i probably wouldn't like it so much.

i thought it was a fun movie

this movie sucked
srry but it did

eh this is okay

i liked this movie when i was little. i use to have have the goomba toy and the luigi one. i have pics with it as a kid and always wished i still had it. so thank god for ebay i got every super mario bro movie toy mint in package lol!!

This is the worst movie I've ever seen. I love the Mario games, but this movie stunk like a skunk.

As much as Super Mario Bros.: The Movie still has mixed opinions, I do give some credit that Dennis Hopper did say years before this movie was made that he bumped into his long-time friend, Jack Nicholson while Tim Burton was directing Batman with him, Michael Keaton, and Kim Bassinger back in 1989, and then said he also he would like to be a villain in a kids movie like his long-time friend who he first met with in Easy Rider along with their other long-time friend, Peter Fonda.

This movie was the best well oiled machine working.

Momma Mia! This movie was a stinker! Someone give the director Poison Mushrooms!

Horrible movie... just horrible

Bad movie. Didn't stay true to the video game. Koopa a human? Come on! And poor Bob Hoskins. At least he finally admitted that doing this movie was a mistake. Good thing Uwe Boll didn't make this movie.

this movie was lame, but i still like it. it was very different from the video games, and it was kinda weird.

@mikeyjohnburton: you obviously have zero taste!!
this film rocked

I actually didn't mind this movie.

this movie is a piece of shit it was done wrong

Huh? My Dad or Mom Never told me about this gee...

what is this i never heard of it!

i have this movie on DVD, and i loved it!

I've seen this movie

This movie solidified my love for the Mario Brothers games and John Leguizamo.

i remeber it all being about the introduction to daisy not peach. great movie. i think i remember it being on disney. I miss it

This film was complete shite! Another example of a good game being turned into a lame film.

Great movie. Especially the elevator-dancing scene.... HILARIOUS!

lugigi had no stash like mario lol

i never got the chance to see this all the way through. all i remember about this movie was not really being able to follow what was going on, but loving it regardless [on account of how much of a super mario whore i was as a little kid]
yup, good times..

Great movie whens the sequel coming out lol.

I love Mario this was so corny though you have to admit

I liked this movie when I seen it growing up. Good memories!

This was probably one of the worst movies of the time, it was a disgrace to Mario, I only love it now because of the feeling of nostalgia.

I saw this movie on the Disney Channel a long time ago and thought it was pretty cool. I also have the movie storybook.

this movie was so much fun to watch!

my australian dvd has the trailer.

i just bought the dvd

This movie should be sent to the abyss.

I saw this movie when I was little on television.

wow i remember watching this in theatres...this movie blows now. but as a kid didnt mind it lol

I'm not gonna lie. I loved this movie when it first came out. Now, well I can still watch it at least. It wasn't as bad as Double Dragon though.

This could just be the best movie of all time and at the same time the worst.

I LOVED THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!

This movie was ok. I liked the game a lot better

This movie was like the possibly the best movie of that year!

If this is the one ive seen its REALLY weird
but good.

Super Mario Bros., the movie, is what I expect they show to prison inmates who escape and then are re-captured.

GAME CONVERTED INTO THE MOVIE???

an old friend of mine owns this movie and to this day he still watches it just to laugh at all the ridiculous stuff that was in the movie. the fat black woman with rocket shoes is just too much for me XD

it was great, i've been trying to find it on VHS or DVD

I heard alot of people saying this movie sucked, but I still want to see it.

I loved this movie! It had little-to-nothing to do with the actual game, but that didn't bother me at all. It had Mario and Luigi, and they were trying to save the world.

Lol.

this was when daisy appeared they put her in games after that

what a horrid movie -_-

I didnt really like this movie , even bieng young and watching it when it first came out , it wasnt that great. it was the closest to bieng on a bad trip as I can get as a kid

cool movie

the movie was alright but nuthin compares to the games i got the super mario all stars for the SNES best damn game ever

All video games turn movies suck.They are inaccurate
and stupid.Well thats Hollywood for you anything for
another dollar.

this movie was awesome

This movie sucked big time.

This movie was alright.....I mean Yoshi wasn't a cute little green dino in the movie, The koompas where not mushroom kids, King Koompa was totally wrong (but the actor who played him was good being a bad guy)...but that "snot" part of the movie now that was GREAT it was hillarius.

Finally, I have seen the theatrical trailer of Super Mario Bros.

I do wish that the DVD could have had the trailer on its special features.

mkay, i'll agree with the others who left comments. this movie wasn't even like the game. also, i don't even know how it could be possible. the game is basically in a cartoon-based world. i mean come on, yoshi was a dinosaur meant to be ridden on, not just some mystical creature like they put in the movie!

My brothers and I were the only ones that loved this movie out of all of our friends. Everyone would alywas point out how they are the Mario Brothers, not the Mario uncle and nephew. It's just a movie is what we would say... i need to find it.

Best BAD movie ever, but I'm pretty much a stupid person.

I'm searching for the trailer of Super Mario Bros on YouTube. It's too bad the DVD doesn't come with it's trailer.

Someone needs to upload the trailer!

It's hard to find because Wal Mart couldn't even sell this moviee in its 5.99 DVD bin.

my friend has it on dvd.. appearently its 10 bucks offa amazon.com

ill probly borrow(steal) it from him in a few days

To funkenstein, I'm with ya all the way! And I love your avatar. And yes, I love this movie. Does it follow the video game well? Not exactly, but who cares. Oh, and John Leguizamo made me totally realize I was a woman because one of the things about this movie I couldn't get out of my head is how damn fine he was as Luigi (and still is)!

YEA I LOVE THIS MOVIE

I thought John Leguizamo was cool as Luigi, but I though Samantha Mathis as Daisy was fine.

LOL i have just ordered this movie at a store.
I remember that when i was 8-9 years old i was home at a friends house and watched this.
I thought this was a realy cool movie.
So this last friday i went and ordered it at the store.
Im so excited to see this again.

This is a good movie. Though it's kind of weird however. But there is a couple I got to say, WHO CASTED JOHN LUGISIMO TO PLAY AS LUIGI!?!?!?!?! I mean come on yo, he doesn't look like luigi, and the secrity character on Koopa's screen, I think THAT should have been Luigi I mean he makes the perfect role for him and also this doesn't really relate to the games except for the fact that Mario, Luigi, Toad, Daisy, and Bowser and his minions are in it. But other than that it was a great movie though I like the cartoons better but still.

I recorded this movie and I have it somewhere in my attic. It's not a bad movie, but the enemies should have looked more like the enemies from the games. Is this movie supposed to be based on one of the games?

John Leguizamo wasn't a Luigi at all...wheres the mustache?

Super Mario Bros., yes, I knew him even better than I knew Batman when I was a little kitty.... I own this movie on DVD..... It's not good... It's not incredible... IT'S AWESOME!!! GODDAMNIT, AWESOME!!! THE BEST MOVIE OF 1993!!!

I wonder where I could find the movie trailer or a tv spot of Super Mario Bros.: The Movie.

The first movie based on a game.. but it sucked ALOT. to me it was just an atempt for hollywood to make money

Oh Bob, why did you do this to yourself? And why did they have a hispanic person play Luigi?

everything was in the future it sukd but it was a tight movie it should have ben like the game where they are in the jungle and on plains or what ever the vanilla cave or whatever its called lol

Horrible horrible thing they did to the franchise.
I was four and knew the movie blew chunks. Everything was so messed up.

HEHEHE i thought the princess was cool but the movie i thought was funny. crappy yet funny. so bad it was funny hehehehe

This movie is the worst video game-movie adaptation in history. If I were signed on to direct this, I would've made it much different and follow closer to the original games.

There was a talk about making a part 2 of Super Mario Bros. back in 1996. But it never happend. I feel bad that there wasn't any sequils to this movie. I also admit that Princess Daisy was hot in that pinkish purple dress.

Maybe if they start over and make a new Super Mario Bros. movie, they could possibly make sequils with that new Super Mario movie.

This movie was cheesy, but it WAS also pretty good! Maybe not the best VG adaptation I've seen, but it's still quite enjoyable and entertaining! During its theatrical release in 1993, it was considered a box office failure, but the reason for that was because it did not stay true to the game[s]! Additionally, some of the characters looked almost NOTHING like how they normally would. I myself, was also a bit disappointed at first when I saw this, but after a couple more watches I started to understand it all better. This is a darker version of the Super Mario Bros. but with a little comic relief thrown in here and there. The only best method to make the characters look exactly how they did in the cartoon[s]/game[s] would be to use CGI, which wouldn't be all that convincing. Dennis Hopper made a decent King Koopa, though his character could've been more menacing, and Bob Hoskins made a very funny Mario! It's also cool that all the baddies are still there: goombas, koopas, bob-ombs, and even snifits! Those who bash this movie should take note of all this and re-watch the movie again with an open mind. It's not as bad as some say it is.

Ugh, don't remind me.

talk about garbage. this movie had NOTHING to do with the video game storyline. sorry.

They didnt need a part 2 dickhead, fuck you you stupid dick, Dennis was a crap Koopa, you fucking wanker, cock-sucking twat!!!!!!

I know exactly what you mean about cooper, he had stupid blonde hair put back with grease. I loved those guys who were given the tiny dino heads, especially the one with the harmonica, i still look back and laugh at it now

I loved Super Mario Bros.: The Movie! That is what I call it.

I think that they could have made Dennis Hopper look much more like King Koopa from the video game and cartoon series of Super Mario Bros.

For a movie based off a cartoon series and/or video game, I would have to say that Super Mario Bros.: The Movie was just as good as Masters of the Universe (1987) and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (1995).

If anyone ever makes a Super Mario Bros. movie in the future, I suggest make all the characters look like they do in the video game or cartoon series. And make King Koopa a C.G.I. character and make him look like he does in the video game and cartoon series.
