Super Mario Bros. The Movie - Caravan Of Garbage

we're all excited for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie but isn't gonna be good right no no no okay my apologies well here's the problem the difficulty I feel like in translating a video game to the big screen depends on the era of the video game yeah like modern-day video games it's like 20 or 30 or like 50 hours of gameplay so much story and so much character development talking like a Witcher fruits exactly like a Witcher and there's so many like just inherently like cinematic memorable moments and it feels like whittling it down to two hours is it's not impossible it's not impossible it's kind of like it does it a disservice but on the other hand video games like classic video games from back in the day have so little plots you can explain the whole game in like one sentence like mario goes to the Mushroom Kingdom to rescue a princess and also Luigi is there for some reason okay two sentences but you could probably mention he kills many Turtles on the way yeah for sure absolutely that's fine too but of course we are talking about the Super Mario Brothers movie a big swing in a Miss in terms of adaptation it's a big swing isn't yes that's right yeah my own sonic have a classic history together we know that because they were both at the 1936 Olympics bitter rivals turn Nazi supporters oh that's a shame Mario big fan of Mussolini Sonic was a Nazi experiment for obviously that's right how else would he get his speed yeah that's actual speed a lot of speed anyways people could leave a like on this video that would be great because look it's not gonna be a lot to like if I'm honest if you wonder if you wanted to do an animated Mario movie it's all right there that's what Mario looks like but it's like what do you hang a live-action movie on I guess you build a weird future dystopia Blade Runner covered in fungus I guess I don't really know I read that one that one of the the production designers was like we should make it like Max Headroom yes TV series that was cancelled midseason well the directors who worked on this actually worked on Max Headroom that's not coincidence so that planes that they try to ease you into the videogame nosov it with a 16-bit dinosaur explanation up top tied by like a real forget about it forget the mystery of the mayor long time ago the earth was ruled by dinosaurs so the cast though Bob Hoskins John Leguizamo Samantha Mathis Dennis Hopper Lance Henriksen briefly Fisher Stevens who was the Indian guy from hot circuit really it's not really it's not really a lizard man either so that's that's great like the fact that they managed to get all those people on board is really terrific and there are some really interesting special effects and well building I feel here to some extent but why did they do this it doesn't see who's it for who's it for exactly I mean it you would imagine that this is for like summer vacation or whatever and you said you know you take your kids to the movies but what kid is gonna be like dad is that 1960s counterculture like on Dennis Hopper from Easy Rider is that who that is do kids want to see because this is really who this is for the kids want to see a 50 year old broke-ass Mario doing actual plumbing excuse me he's canonically 25 in the world of Nintendo sidenote they have a very bizarre apartment they've got like plungers on the walls like their rifles I've only used plungers of any display plunges no their plungers that they've done some great plumbing with their little mortal eyes so they're appalled apartment smells of poop yeah 100% yeah what I think they were going for here was a the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles you ghostbusters yeah that kind of edgy sort of kids ish kind of movie I think that's what this was because apparently Nintendo had no directions for the production team they're like just do whatever you want we don't care I've actually got what Nintendo thought of this movie which we could talk okay but I want to talk about some other casting at one point they were considering Danny DeVito okay makes sense I guess Tom Hanks was considered for the role of Luigi but the follies of Turner and hooch and Joe versus the volcano led the studio's to believe that Hanks was no longer a box-office draw oh my god let you imagine that era I know let me name his next seven films that came out after this Sleepless in Seattle he gets Philadelphia we get Forrest Gump Toy Story hit Apollo 13 let me think big it's that thing you do order it hits sorry brother right all big head back on Oh cute [ __ ] yes so I wonder if he had have done this would he have had that career probably not yeah so what's an egg also was wanted for King Koopa as was Michael Keaton who it was so rich he would never have done it at this point yeah cuz he just come off several Batman's yes at least one Batman - Batman he's King Cooper in this he's not Bowser no that's significant doesn't matter is it not really did that you're asking the wrong question a pace this off like the manual for Super Mario World funny you say that because there's some things here that are directly translated very few things I might add and some things are just in name only I've got a list here yes a Big Bertha nothing like the video game at all told just a guitar guy apparently they wanted an actual musician so they got mojo Nixon but they only got him because Tom Waits pulled out gravelly voice neo-gothic singer Tom Waits and he was like no there was also an earlier version of the script with recognizable elements but if any of these characters have different names how far do you think you would watch this movie if you didn't know with Super Mario Brothers yeah they had different names before you figured it out I think I would have got up to the costumes because I read the bomb this this year probably the bomb but I think this movie may have worked better and it would be better regarded if it was just like called like two weird guys from Brooklyn fall into a parallel dimension we haven't even mentioned what the story is about you touch them at bridge and then but they do stumble in a parallel dimension because when the comet that killed the dinosaurs hit earth it splintered the universe so some of the dinosaurs went to live in one specific spot in another dimension of air yes they evolved into humans exactly and they want back in Cooper specifically wants to merge the universes you know what he could do yeah just walk through that portal it's just it's just him you know why does he need to bring everything because who's he gonna contend with like this Capelli's like those real estate moguls that when they perform corporate sabotage they're wearing the shirts of the company that they're from that's right so I feel like if he just walked through with maybe two guys maybe not even he'd probably have a pretty good shot to take over New Yor 100 yeah how long did you watch this movie thinking to yourself movies boring about the first 25 minutes this movie is quite dull until they drop into the parallel universe yes before that it's just like regular plumbing and circular plumbing new stuff okay but I wasn't really bored because it's fascinating I like it's not good no but it's fascinating I'm also fascinated by the budget of this because it was a 48 million dollar movie and I think some of it is what do good use and some of it really isn't is some comparison movies from 1993 I'm ready Jurassic Park 63 million dollars a little bit more fugitive 44 million Schindler's List 22 million groundhog day was made for 14 million I mean that's just a real town isn't it they're not building a weird dinosaur dimension or whatever but there's things like the puppets that they make are incredible those big Goomba suits it's clearly like a like a big rig that people wear on top of their shoulders with the time of the land of Medtronic heads apparently there's 200 feet of cable inside Yoshi with nine puppeteers controlling him at any one time you can't ride him though let's sell it why put him in Boots he's not even green right it's just a dinosaur well that's the thing in Cooper for the most part is just a guy and he's got a fork time like he's a crooked real-estate developer with a forked tongue or should I say a regular real estate developer oh right I've got them but like they're just what makes this impede ultimately this world dino Hatton isn't that much weirder than regular New York just got some more fungus it's got more fungus and like the cars have more spikes on them yeah how many actual Nintendo nods direct things that you recognize I think there's some sound effects yes the bombs yes there's the super scope which is the evolution gun some jumping definitely some jumping wasn't there and I guess the outfits but the links are so tenuous it's you're kind of looking for them and you're not even really sure if the thing that you've seen is actually a reference again to wierd plumbers from Brooklyn better movie in my opinion what about how this movie disintegrates the two towers a chilling insight into the future of regular Manhattan I think at one point somebody says after that they'll do anything for publicity or whatever these bodies estate agents yeah they'll disintegrate the two towers for publicity say that's good for your brand is it it it did wonders for the Taliban [ __ ] you know well we all know who they are don't we that's a good boy you may not like it but you know so the directors of this rocky Morton and Annabelle jankle husband and wife's husband and wife team they were hired based on their work on Max Headroom coming back to that again for some reason so the cast and crew disliked them so much for their alleged obnoxious and controlling behaviors Bob Hoskins referred to them as the C bomb and the cow and at once who and at one point Dennis Hopper was so fed up with a drawn-out and constantly changing production that he spent almost three hours yelling at the directors holding up filming that's a long time he's a long time three hours of yelling of straight yelling it's there's a fact that I know it was meant to be five weeks of filming but Dennis Hopper was there for 17 weeks he son said to him why did you make that terrible movie and he said well Henry I did that so you could have shoes any son said dad I don't need shoes that badly John Leguizamo and Bob Hoskins were apparently constantly drunk throughout the filming of this to kind of go through it again 17 weeks and in a 2011 interview Bob Hoskins described the film's production it was a [ __ ] 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 this set [ __ ] nightmare [ __ ] idiots and that was nearly two decades after he filmed the amazing things so he did Roger Rabbit where he talks to nobody for month that's right yeah and this is the one that broke here but I guess when you've got no clear direction here's the thing though I think they did know what they're doing to an extent they had this vision but it was just not a good vision because I think when you go into a movie I think with directors you have to have a certain sense of arrogance and you know Mike is assurity about yourself exactly that's right confidence it inspires others to do their best work for 17 weeks you know this is one of my favorite things in it as well of movies like this it's a cliffhanger ending because I love the idea of just a movie so crap and yet so bold that they're like we'll see you again we'll see you again so yeah there is actually a sequel comic to this some of the writers who were involved in it a few years back actually made a webcomic of the continuing Adventures of Mario Luiz they go back to Dino Hatton it's just like oh they're all dead are we being too harsh on this cuz I know it's considered like a cult classic right but it's not good right I can see how you can look at it and go this is fine and there's some fun elements and why did they do this but objectively and I don't like to use that word because you know there's no real such thing in film criticism but not not not good right let's let's focus let's focus on the positive what's good what's good in this well this is what Nintendo thought about that Shigeru Miyamoto Mario's creator said in the end it was a fun project they put a lot of effort into but he also said the one thing that I still have some regrets about is that the movie may have tried to get a little too close to what Mario Bros the video games was and in that sense it became a movie that was about a video game rather than being an entertaining movie in and of itself that to me says that he has not seen this look the man speaks in riddles but should I get what he's saying in the sense that they went okay we've got a pile in strange references you know Mario's got to jump cuz Mario jumps in the game that's something you could take out that being said you take it out what what is this movie it's just Italians running amok look that being said even though did 1000 like they gave it a good go we didn't get another Nintendo movie until detective Pikachu so this did something to make them oh let's not do this ever again this obviously made them be very wary of attaching their name to things like this we did get some animated series stuff you've probably seen some of those which was much more faithful that's the Mario universe itself it's a fun whimsical world with kind of like fun little caricatures how would you do this as a movie because they've got Sonic coming into the real world Yeah right would you just do a completely animated Mario doesn't talk much 3d film where he has to do a rescue I mean you could but at the same time that's what the video games are yes Mario doing you're doing a rescue yeah and you can't have mário these kind of squat all animated man coming into the real world because then people said library where did you come from yeah and I mean at this point as well you know when you talk about Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Odyssey these games at this point have you know they have storyline and they have characters and yeah we don't need a movie version anymore I think well you'll be happy to know there's a Super Mario Brothers movie scheduled for 2022 I'll thank God you want some good news up the back of this side yes Lance Henriksen met Jane Evans a woman who would go on to marry on this film go she was his second wife and he's had a third since good for him it's still good news hey when you know you're not blossoms that's right it's like a fungus care about a garbage what is what do what's your favorite part about this movie about that if you like Mario video games what's your favorite bit of this is it the bit where they jumped this is the bit where they danced thirty bit where they looked into some dirty plumbing is it the bit with the big rubber t-rex in a big bucket but if you do have a suggestion for caravan of garbage we'd love to hear it we're open to all suggestions that we may solutely is there a better video game movie than this it's not a lot of them but yeah there's definitely sure it is Street Fighter is better than this you know it makes sense I'm it's not all Street Fighter II no they're fighting each other in arenas one on one also of course if you'd like a hint towards next week here's a clip I'm at mr. Sunday movies on Twitter I meant Wikipedia Brown on Twitter please tell us a very specific and nice thing that we missed when the stupid movie what era did we make about a please get real pedantic that's my favorite first is it something about a bubble is it something about some bullet bills that's a there was an I missed that it with them we say that did we we didn't just say it want a list of things so get us with that with a list of things anyways I'll see you next week grab that jam you guys will say next week you
