and it set the tone for how terrible video game movies usually are.
He told Edge Online the following: “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 the Mario Bros. video games were. And in that sense, it became a movie that was about a video game, rather than being an entertaining movie in and of itself.”
Yes, he thought a movie that had next to nothing to do with the video game was too close to the source material. Wow.
it’s just that they show up in boot form; the boots in the alternate dinosaur universe are called “Thwomp Stompers”
Hoskins told The Guardian: “The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Brothers. It was a fuckin’ 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! Fuckin’ nightmare. Fuckin’ idiots.”
I guess they should’ve stayed out of Hollywood…

From Janet Maslin’s NYT review of the film: “Eleven-year-old boys, the ideal viewers for this vigorous live-action comic strip, will no doubt be impressed with the expense and energy that have gone into bringing “Super Mario Brothers” to the screen. Other viewers may wonder how they came to be watching a film about parallel universes, punitive devolution, creatures who eat grilled salamanders on hot-dog rolls, and one memorably disgusting character who has been transformed into a ball of slime.
The answer doubtless has more to do with marketing tie-ins than with creative thinking. Allowing for that, and for the total superfluity of this whole enterprise, “Super Mario Brothers” is not without its selling points. This film’s two directors and three screenwriters have clearly tried hard to breathe life into their nonstory, to the point where the film’s intensity seems more crazy than cynical. And its special effects are well executed even when their purpose is less than clear.”
