I saw that on Conan last night. It was pretty funny. I thought he was going to elaborate more on it though.
While it's an admittedly very weird movie, it doesn't deserve all the hate.
It's a cult classic, says I.

Hey it may not have grossly adhered to the game, but there are only a handful of Game/Movie crossover's that are decent. And SMB is a great movie for what it is.
I haven't seen the movie yet. I was scared of it when I was younger (still am a little bit). Is it really that entertaining? I want to watch it now! :)
My brother and I bought this on VHS and watched it MANY times, it wasn't that bad.
WHY THE HECK IS KING KOOPA A HUMAN IN THAT MOVIE?!
Open the door get on the floor, everybody do the dinosaur!

That was a terrible, yet awesome movie...that I own...
I love his sons response, though - I think that made my day. Also, I want to watch the movie again, but I don't think I need to all that badly.

King Koopa is human because he (and everybody else in their world) are highly evolved versions of the characters we know from the video games. That's why when they de-evolve the king, he turns into fungus (or mushrooms), the de-evolve the henchmen and they turn into goombas, and when they de-evolve Koopa, he turns into the big dinosaur guy.
You know chad, how some virtual console games are so bad there good? Super mario is that in movie form
I still have this recorded on a VHS tape somewhere in my house. The best part of the movie was clearly the goomba elevator scene. Anyone who's seen this wonderful film knows what I'm talking about.
God, I loved this movie as a child. I didn't know any better. All I knew was it had something to do with Mario and I loved my Mario Bros. game for my original grey brick-syled Gameboy.
This movie caused me to wear red snowpants and pretend I had those boots that make you jump up real high.
Fuck, yea childhood!

Reminds me of Ron Perlman's answer when asked why he appeared in Dungeon Siege:
"My wife wanted some new shoes."
"My wife wanted some new shoes."
I believe when they asked if there was any role he regretted, he sighted his part as mario in that movie. Never heard leguizamos (sp?) take on the whole thing. He might say "The Happening" instead.
John Leguizamo is great in just about every movie he does. I particularly liked his performance as The Clown/Violator in Spawn.
The crazy evil lady in this movie is the aunt in the Harry Potter movies. Plus it has a guy that was on Pete & Pete, the "Indian" guy from Short Circuit, and Lance Henriksen (Millenium's Frank Black) as the king.
An all-star cast, for sure.

The movie is Rad, not only does it not suck, it's one of my favorite movies in general. You should watch it Chad.
I loved the movie when I was younger. I had it on VHS and watched it all the time.
I'd love to see Rifftrax do this movie. And I want the Angry Video Game Nerd to be a guest riffer.

I love that movie with an ungodly passion, although I've never been able to explain fully why, I think it has alot to do with how totaly cheezy and 1980's the whole thing is.
even as a kid I was baffled by this film. not that it made any more sense than Street Fighter or Double Dragon though...
Yeah this movie was definitely stuffed full of "artistic representation", that's for sure. I still love it though, kind of like how you love an ugly puppy.
Bob Hoskins on the SMB movie:
"The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Brothers. It was a f*****' nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! F*****' nightmare. F*****' idiots."

This movie is a must own. It simultaneously succeeds and fails on so many levels that it boggles the mind.
Like a lot of people have already said, the real draw of the movie is that it's so bad you can't help but enjoy it. And personally, those are my favorite kinds of movies.
I went to camp with his son. I remember seeing him at the end of the term, wore all black. His son was hyperactive and very nice, which one would imagine is atypical for the child of a movie star.
That's hilarious. I used to watch it quite often as a kid for how terribly bad it is, but it is a good time. XD
The movie cant suck for being a cult classic as some here already said.
In pure context it solidly sucks, but its suckiness is epic and appreciated by eevryone. It gave the Mario universe a whole new artistic perspective.

This movie is just like the power glove. In reality, it dosen't work, but here in awesomeland, it's just SO BAD.
