why are YOU as a man admitting to enjoying being hit and smacked and just generally manhandled by women
I need everyone to know this Bob Hoskins playing Mario Mario from the 1993 Super Mario Bros. movie which also featured John Leguizamo as Luigi Mario and that while as a movie and an adaptation of the franchise it is rife with problems ranging from the technical to the aesthetic to the philosophical, and also bearing in mind I didn't go to see the newer animated film, I will nevertheless assert that in no way shape or form could any modern adaptation be anywhere near as interesting and yes even as fun to watch as this deranged but well-intentioned film.
Back in the 90s, someone had script for a dark future cyberpunk movie (it was in style at the time) and them some coked out executive decided to make a Mario movie and just slap the brand over that script.
Also, because Mario at the time didn't have like a whole lot of characters, they had to really stretch it. Like, do you know who this absolute queen is?
A fish, that's big Bertha. They based the character very roughly on a giant fish that instantly eats you on a couple of water levels.
And that's the whole movie, a lazy executive desicion followed by wacky writing, and (and I mean this from the heart) Incredible design and execution. Like there's real actual talent at work there. This movie is better than it had any right to be and you should see it.
