258: Chekhov's Bob-omb

Published: Aug. 8, 2015, 4:15 p.m.

Our survey of terrible films continues with 1993\u2019s \u201cSuper Mario Bros.\u201d, which features surprisingly little of the characters, setting, or joy that one might attribute to the beloved video-game franchise. Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper, and the directors of the original \u201cMax Headroom\u201d film collaborate on this dreadful tale about evolved dinosaurs, dystopian parallel-universe New Yorks, and a couple of plumbers named Mario, one of whom is also named Luigi.
