A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

What was the phone number or email that you contacted them with? Perhaps I can see if I can find a lead on that person connected to the toy advertising for the movie. I know that the other toy commercial exists, its just a matter of finding the right person who was involved in it.

billbot85

Yes--the plan for Wilmington is to put some prop stuff on display. We'll have some of the things we had in LA, but we'll also have a few new things as well :) If one of the police cars ends up on display in the theater's parking lot, I'll squeal like a little girl, haha. I swear at least one of tho...

Just saw the new photos put up from the LA Screening, it looks like it was such a great time!!! Loved all the pictures of the memorabilia and the cast/crew, im glad it was such a huge success. I hope the Wilmington screening goes just as well. Will there be stuff on display there too?

Has anyone stumbled across this? Dana has her own youtube channel and a clip from her role in Super Mario Bros. Perhaps this is way to get her for an interview!!

Yeah, it's definitely the 'Joker grin' stage. The artwork from the back of the packaging actually depicts Stage II , though, while the mask appears to be a slightly more de-evolved version of Stage I . Yeah, it also kind of looks like the ape-head goomba figure, but with a bigger grin. I'm looking ...

billbot85

Awesome!! I am definitely looking forward to all of that!! He emailed me a picture of the sculpts too and I got to see the Koopa mask. Looks pretty similar to the artwork used on the back of the action figure card. That would've been such a cool accessory.

Hey, so I tried viewing the page that features to ERTL brochure and catalog and the images to click on don't show up. I tried refreshing the page several times and I still can't access the images. Is anyone else having trouble with this? On a side note, I'm gonna try and contact ERTL to see if I can...

Amazing find, billbot! I've already contacted Mr. Christy in regards to his work on the line, so hopefully we hear back from him soon and have something special to share. Thanks! Is that his name? The author of the article I found? I hope we can get an interview with him, I'd love to see those scul...

billbot85

Hey, so I came across this interesting article on blogspot where this guy discusses his interview with a "sculpt for hire toy studio," run by a man named Rudy Vap. Apparently this studio actually sculpted the action figures for Super Mario Bros.!!! He says he even was given a few prototype...

billbot85

Ok, I don't know if this is a gimmick or a real promo item, but the seller said this item was sent to video stores in order to promote the release of the movie on video. He found it in a video store that went out of business. Redstar or Phlibbit, have you ever come across one of these before? http:/...

billbot85

Wow, it sounds like the LA screening event was a huge success!! I wish I could've gone so I could've meet David L. Snyder, Dana Kaminski and Parker Bennet. I can't wait to see the photos from the screening. Is the screening for Wilmington, NC still on for June 21? I might be able to make that one if...

billbot85

wish I could've been there at the premiere and the one in New York!! I would've loved to have been part of it. Perhaps I can make the South Carolina one haha

billbot85

This is so incredible. Congrats guys on getting these theatrical screenings!! Too bad I won't be able to go to the NY screening since I have my show that weekend. I wonder, are these screenings with the original film reel?? I wonder if they contain the infamous deleted devo chamber scene?

billbot85

this movie was FREAKIN' AWESOME. I remember this being shown on the Disney Channel I think. But yeah, very similar premise to Super Mario Bros where it was an alternate world where Dinosaurs ruled, only they werent evolved humans, but a whole lot of people in costumes and muppets! So glad you brough...

Roger Waters is bringing "The Wall" back to the states in 2012. I wish I had the dough to pick up tickets for the Wrigley Field show, but...'tis not to be. :cry: I love Pink Floyd. One of my favorite bands of all time since high school. i wish I had the dough for those tickets too! Some o...

billbot85

I'm not sure if David himself would know, but I'm certain there's a car or two remaining in the Cape Fear area. I'm sure if we trolled some junkyards we'd come across some cool stuff. We'll look into it. Oh wow. Searching the junkyards huh?? Would there be any paperwork on that? For vehicles that w...

Add Star Fox 64 and Perfect Dark to the list of fun multiplayer games. This is also one of my favorite systems. Just recently beat Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, helped me get back in the Zelda spirit for Skyward Sword, haha.

billbot85

I find it quite odd that I actually have something to contribute to this thread. Anyone seen Ridley Scott's Legend ? It's very Zelda-esque, very surreal and unique. Once you get past the quirkiness of the film, it's quite good. Tim Curry (in a very Ganonesque role) completely steals the show. I lov...

The Ninja Turtles were a huge part of my childhood growing up, before I got into Super Mario. I watched the original cartoon, had a lot of the action figures and vehicles, and absolutely LOVED the first 2 movies. I didn't care for the 3rd, even as a kid. I even had the large plushies of the 4 turtle...

billbot85

notice this thread had been dead for a little while... When I visit imcdb.com and check out the cars from SMB, I still wonder if any of the police cars made for this movie still exist today, or if they all were sent to the junkyard straight afterward? I wonder if David Snyder knows what happened to ...

billbot85

Do you have the link to ended ebay listing for them? I think its a different seller than this guy who's been trying to sell them for $50 for a few years:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/RARE-Super-Mari ... 2c5da39234

billbot85

wow, this really an awesome opportunity! Wish I could be there. I imagine that if we ever manage to get a director's cut of the movie we should have a screening of that.

billbot85

dude that is AWESOME! Being an actor myself I love finding out how people get their inspiration or what research they do to prepare for a role. That's so cool that your friend demonstrated all of Mario's moves for Bob Hoskins. I wonder of that tape is still in existence........

billbot85

awesome interview! It's great hearing that he confirms the deleted scenes that we have been trying to unveil for a few years now. I know I haven't posted in a while, but I love it that I come back and continue to find more and more interesting updates here. Thanks for sharing this interview guys, an...

billbot85

I think the new layout looks great!! Can't think of any critiques. Looking forward to the overhaul

billbot85

Oh, darn! You know, I did get the bust half-off for taking the time to go down there... I might've forgotten to take that into consideration when stating the price, though I was sure I did! :? No worries, man. I'd totally go and visit the place too if I wasn't way the hell out on the East Coast hah...

Here are the painted heads in all their glory

billbot85

Ok, Paul from MEL emailed me back and told me this: Hi Bill, yes we still have them for sale, attached is a photo of a painted head, they come unpainted, they are made out of latex and poly-foam. Unpainted $125 Painted $225 Thanks Paul I guess they're not $60 anymore...but I would rather buy a paint...

billbot85

totally! I kinda want to go and see this show, and then see if he will sign my Luigi action figure at the stage door haha. Do you think its possible to get them both for an interview?

billbot85

I always found the cars one of the huge interesting parts of the movie as they were so well designed. I always loved the Claw digger Police cars, probably the most defining car in the movie for me next to the Koopa Dune Buggy. I second that notion. The police cars were always my favorite, which is ...

billbot85

Ok, just messaged them, thanks. Those MEL headbusts sound better than the resin cast ones that were on ebay, especially if it comes with removable skin. Hope they got some left.

billbot85

Anyone know of any props for sale? I would love some for my collection. No replicas, please. MEL (MakeUp and Effects Lab) sells unpainted Goomba head busts for $60. That's the only official avenue I know of that still sells materials related to the movie. You can try contacting them here to see if ...

Really cool. What makes the Swedish release superior to the other releases? I thought the quality of the DVD releases was the same in all of the countries?

John Leguizamo is currently performing on Broadway in his one-man show called "Ghetto Klown," kinda like an auto-biography done in the style of a stand up where he reenacts his upbringing and his journey as an actor. Interesting part is that he got Fisher Stevens to direct it! Here is a yo...

billbot85

Does anyone know the name of the actor who played the Dinohattan cop that arrested Mario, Luigi, and Toad? He had quite a few lines ("You know the law, Toad!") and was definitely uncredited, but hes always the one cop I remember the most from the movie. He definitely portrayed the "ba...

billbot85

Completely missed this post. Awesome MuppetMan!! Definitely go for it! I've been wanting to build a goomba costume, too! But I would not exactly know where or how to start. However, I plan on trying to make a Dinohattan citizen costume this year with lizard skin prosthetics and such. Anyway, here is...

billbot85

Well, I'd first like to try and see if I can get my hands on some foam latex or other similar material to make the lizard skin. If I can get a hold of that, then I'm gonna go ahead with the costume. Getting in touch with the make-up artist would definitely help me out. Thanks Redstar!

billbot85

Of course, this is only if you're serious about making replica costumes. :) Well, I was thinking of trying to create 3 costumes: Goomba (with animatronic head) Police Officer (reason why I'd like them to make that patch) Dinohattan citizen (with lizaard skin prosthetics) The first one I'd like to t...

billbot85

yeah that's what I was thinking of buying it for! A potential goomba costume or other fascist military uniform for a potential Halloween project. Also, the seller informed me that these are in fact fan made replicas, not the real ones from the movie set. Needless to say, they are awesome replicas, a...

billbot85

Hey guys, I don't know if these are the actual goomba uniform patches from the movie set or just replicas, but take a look!

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... K:MEWAX:IT

Even if they are fan made replicas, they look pretty authentic to me
