1993-2023 It took thirty years for Nintendo to agree to erase the (very) bad memory of Super Mario Bros. and return to cinema with Super Mario Bros., the movie that hits our screens on April 5th. For thirty years, the live-action film directed by Bob “Mario” Hoskins and John “Luigi” Leguizamo has remained in the pantheon of worst video game film adaptations.
Hollywood’s first historic attempt to bring a video game success to the screen, Super Mario Bros. was a commercial, critical and artistic failure. But the film has built a real cult following over those three decades, to the point that today it enjoys a Blu-ray collector’s edition, accompanied by a feature-length documentary that goes behind the scenes of the production (and the disaster) with the main characters. .
If Rocky Morton and Annabelle Jankel’s feature film fails as a whole, it has plenty of mistakes and filming gaffes that Michelle and Michelle will decipher for you. AlloCiné’s technical specialists are accompanied by a guest expert in video games, from Panthaa JV.com, who supplies the video with his anecdotes and sharp insights. You can see the video above.
