A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

It's a shame. The world needs Steve Jobs-- his innovation and creativity created the computer as we know it today! But like you said, he must have known he was about to die, why else would one of the most powerful men in the world step down from that kind of position? Sure, Apple had its failures (t...

Does anyone else remember the XFL? It stood for "Xtreme Football League," they were founded by Vince McMahon, the CEO of the WWF (now the WWE) and it put a new, refreshing twist on American-rules football. For instance, every player had a microphone in their helmet and we could hear what t...

What I want to know is, when Mario and the Brooklyn girls get on the slide on the 51st floor of the Koopa World Trade Center, why does it take them about a hundred and fifty blocks uptown to Koopa Square? Is it really that long? Or is Koopa Square nearer to the towers than we think it is?

The master of the digital world has passed from this physical realm into the astral plane.
This world didn't deserve someone with his all too great potential.
Rest in peace, Steve Jobs... 1955-2011.

Thanks for your review and welcome to the board! Be sure to spread the good word about the movie!

Welcome to the board, DrunkKnurd, and thanks for the in-depth review!

Remember, Simon is the cop; not the de-evolution technician. Going by the early scripts, we really have Wart and Bloober to take into account as Koopa's advisers/"brains." Uh... quoi ? Oh, this is based on Merrit Chauncey Mammal's thing [or else one of the earlier scripts], I take it...I'...

You pretty much hit the nail on the head. Casting Marilyn Manson in any role doesn't sound like a smart move, though it's certainly an interesting one. Say what you will about Manson, personally I'm a fan of his music and even if you don't like him he knows how to work a crowd like nobody's busines...

When things like THIS happen to our own citizens you know that terrorists have truly "won." Where's our liberty? Our freedom? For one brief moment we were all proud to be an American. Now we don't even know what that means anymore. It's a crying shame. I have a lot of friends who are Musl...

Check out this music video from AC/DC which features what looks to be the exact spot of the archaeological dig in our favorite movie! The song is called "Shake Your Foundations," it's from what is generally considered to be the worst AC/DC album, "Fly On The Wall," but I enjoyed ...

Happy birthday to KoopaBro64 who turns 22, today.

Ten years ago something so horrible happened we prayed it would never happen again. 3000 dead, 6000 injured. We lost the staple of downtown New York City to an act of violence and war. Don't ever forget September the 11th, 2001. Where were you when the world stopped turning? I remember it clearly, I...

That's good to know, just more to put in the director's cut!

I think those are just propaganda posters. But then, Koopa never even seemed to want to try and even pretend to be a nice guy, even for his own gain (him pretending to be Larry Lazzard notwithstanding; he dropped that act very quickly, though), so him posing for friendly-looking propaganda posters ...

I've been seeing a lot of comments saying "Yeah, that's great, but where's my Thwomp Stomper boots?" If the Boots can compete with the Back to the Future self-lacing sneakers, they must be iconic. :D The Thwomp Stompers are a little big for mainstream production, I think. They're roughly ...

We've already lost. I just voted, it's 65% Silent Hill and 35% Super Mario Bros.
We need a campaign manager-- like whoever it was that got both the Bushes into office, that kind of campaign manager. Someone who can really make us look good.

At least they're even selling the movie, the only places I can find it for sale at around here is at FYE-- a branch that's going out of business.

He definitely says Scapelli, but as "Scah-pelli," with a drawing out of the "ah" and emphasis on the "peh" due to his accent. It just sort of makes you wonder. I bet there's a million other little things like this throughout the movie, like how they have the "Koop...

From "ComingSoon" -- All right, power laces! Looks like I know what kind of shoes I'll be wearing in the not-so-distant future. Seriously though, why didn't they make these back in 1989/1990? They've had the technology to do stuff like this since the 70s and nobody's ever thought of making...

Even "Resident Evil" is a more fair competition to "Super Mario Bros." because I know people who HATE
"Resident Evil," and the three plus subsequent sequels it didn't deserve.

Another equal match to put "Super Mario Bros." up against would be that "Double Dragon" movie that came out the next year, but putting it next to Silent Hill-- a film by a critically acclaimed director and generally well received having been at number one at the box office for a ...

I may be a little late to this, but welcome to the board, MuppetManAZ! You're Goomba heads are amazing! Keep up the awesome work!

I'm just nitpicking now, but this is really bugging me... I've been watching the movie on an endless loop in the background all day and I've come to notice that when Scapelli makes his entrance he says "I'm Anthony Scarpelli , I'm the boss elsewhere..." it's subtle, but if you listen close...

There's no contest, "Silent Hill" has already won. Unless some sort of miracle happens, which I doubt. Now had they paired the movie with something like Paul WS Anderson's "Mortal Kombat," then we might have a chance...

Here's my review of "Combat Shock..." A lot of anti-war movies come off as being pretentious, or are made by film-makers from countries who had nothing to do with the particular war that America was involved with at the time-- many of them seem to be hippie 'peace and love' and 'let's all ...

It pains me to admit this, but I didn't even know who Mario was until 1996. My parents never really bought into the video-game thing until the Nintendo 64-- which I got on either my ninth birthday or Christmas of 1996. The first game I got on that system was Super Mario 64, both of which (the very s...

As far as I know, Frank Welker from the "Transformers" cartoons and movies voiced all the Goombas.

I believe Phlibbit was saying that, yes, they're is a completely different ending, but not to get your hopes up about it being good . Because it's not. Yeah, I'm guessing by this point in script writing process they hadn't come up with a clever ending yet. Personally, I would have ended it with Mar...

^Yes. But don't get your hopes up. Yeah, I doubt the writer of such Blockbusters as "Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure" and "Men In Black" is going to do an interviewing regarding "Super Mario Bros..." But, maybe he will! But it's mentioned the ending of this script...

Okay, I just sent Disney another email, hopefully this one will get a more detailed response... Hi there, I was in Wal-Mart the other day and saw a new copy of my all-time favorite movie, "Super Mario Bros." from 1993, the one starring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as our favorite plumber...

Early in the movie, the van used by the Mario Bros. passed a store named "Mr. Video III". "Mr. Video" was a name Shigeru Miyamoto considered for the character who we know today as Mario, according to an interview conducted a few years ago by Satoru Iwata, the president of Ninten...

The movie does not translate into a children's book very well. Personally, I've never thought of the movie as being a "kid's movie." I've always thought of it being more for the 13-24 demographic, due to its darker, cyberpunk tone. I read a Golden "Look-Look" book based on Disney...

According to this Mario Wiki Page she is "possibly based on Pauline." Either way, I suppose you're right-- her character doesn't add a whole lot to the movie to begin with and it's quite possible she's one of Mario's many girlfriends that we've learned of in all of the scripts. Though, bei...

There is humor, certainly, but for the most part it's just completely out-of-place. When Dick and Ian did attempt it they usually didn't succeed-- case in point, the Bruce Willis cameo; that's just weird . I thought that was a very "Family Guy" moment, seven years before "Family Guy&...

Good job, if I didn't always go as myself to the conventions I'd go dressed in one of the Marios' jumpsuits. I'm the kind of clown who goes to those conventions dressed in my street clothes and I always have a friend with me who dresses up like Goku from Dragon Ball or something and people say "...

Let's see... Watchmen, I find to be a little long and overrated-- though I do like the story. I just thought the film had a better ending and was paced better. My all time favorite graphic novel is Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns," but I hated the sequel "The Dark Knight Strik...

That's great to hear that we might be able to get Ed Solomon on the line! So, the script is actually pretty solidly different once the adventure picks up and moves into the parallel world. It's largely the same in terms of structure, but the differences quickly add up and result in a completely diff...

It's amazing what little things we find in our own backyard. I know if I ever get to Wilmington, North Carolina, I'm going to find the cement factory that the movie was shot in and poke around. That would be the ultimate playground for me... especially if the whole place was abandoned and the sets a...

The problem is that Rotten Tomatoes reviews can only be added by the original author or the newspaper that they were printed in. Many of the reviews listed under the Reception section of the site were provided personally by the original authors, of whom many weren't so inclined to go through the tr...

You know what's funny, is that when I bought this script online I thought it was going to be basically the "shooting script" (which may or may not exist). Much to my surprise and delight, it was a version of the Mario Brothers movie I never even thought they'd thought of making. Prior to r...
