SUPER MARIO BROS. Clip - "De Evolve" (1993) 

Very crazy.

it turns out its a pretty awesome movie once you learn about it and watch it some more, though idk why it was allowed to be made but it was and i am thankful for that lol

We all expected that

@RGkong also the "evolve/ de-evolve" thematic .... was this movie really about Super Mario or Pokemon ??? 😅😂

What a difference 30 years can make. 😅

@@RogueT-Rex8468 yep

...you had to watch the movie to realize that? REALLY?

Maybe baby killercroc

I agree.

Correct

This Mario was good I just don’t like how goo bad are dinosaurs

Agree

Remember them.

Beat me to it. If people didn’t think of this as a Mario adaptation, they probably would’ve liked it more

Let's see if you're right.

You're not wrong 😂😂😂

​@@brettbaker1229. Actually the people behind max headroom made it, wich explains a lot!

Oh come on, guys. This movie has been out since 1993. And i don't hear anyone predict anything about new mario movie this year.

LMFAO

trampolines

Ya think?

It would be easy to defeat them since they are dumb and slow

Wouldn’t be surprised if that actually happened lol

Very silly!

Lol 😆 😆 it really did

This is because this scene was never officially released. The missing footage was found and inserted back into the scene, and because the source of the scene was a VHS, that was the best quality rip of the scene available, publicly at least

Lol, that part made me crack up!!

that's the reason why i watch this scene

You and me both. I saw that shit as well as had nightmares for a long time. This is definitely nightmare fuel.

@@MrChevrolet94 same

So you CAN say that was Toad that Mushroom guy?(I DIDN'T KNOW!🤣

Nailed it

I mean, there isn't really much you could adapt at that time from Mario Games which... don't really had much story to begin with. And what you maybe could have done was way out of budget, a complete fantasy world with magical beings and all.

This movie is one of the "so bad it's good" movies. It's ridiculous in all the best ways. Reminding myself that this movie is a *Mario* movie only makes the experience funnier to me, because it has so little to do with Mario but the little references to things from the games are really creative for the ridiculous setting.

Fun fact: According to Marc Webb on the DVD commentary for TASM, he was aware of the backlash on The Lizard’s design during production, so to please the haters, he wanted Spider-Man to say “You know, you kinda look like a Goomba.” during their first fight in the sewers. But they couldn’t get the rights to even say their name.

Remember that.

I still feel like it should have had a bigger connection to Mario games.

@@evanrosman9226 Koopa City From Mario Kart 7 Looks Like Dinohattan So………

Honestly, if they want to attempt to bring Mario’s world to life, just make it a fantasy comedy with sets that cross between The Wizard of Oz and Alice In Wonderland, and hire Jim Hanson’s Creature Shop to make cartoony yet realistic designs to the games’ creature designs. It’s not that hard. Especially when movies from the 80s and 90s already proved that.

Me too.

Uhhh, yes. This movie was bad. For it's time and presently.

@@Amp661 don't give af about your opinion.

@@Sinz_-fl9nj touchy, are we?

@@Sinz_-fl9nj na this movie fuckin sucks bro

Despite negative reviews.

No hell no

@@Dracovenatrix yes, hell yes

@@PowerGlove79 no hell no

It gives by us in Germany a blu Ray release

They could have been mutated mushroom

They wanted to stick with the overall theme of the movie - complete trash.

@@OmegaMouse Eh, even though I'll agree the movie's not technically good, I still like it. It's a "so bad it's good" film for me.

I think the cops are supposed to be Koopa Troopa

Goombas were THE generic minions in the games so it makes sense that they'd have those as Koopa's minions here.

Goombas are the ones with the small round heads, and Koopa Troopas are the ones with the more lizard-like heads.

You were right.

mixed with jurassic park

The entire movie should’ve been at least faithful. But hey, at least we have the animated film.

King Koopa was Bowser's name at the time, it's not a "form" he takes. And he does turn into a monster at the end of the movie. Besides, having him as a giant T-rex for the rest of the movie would've been way too expensive.

@@DarkOverlord96 why not use a T-Rex animatronic?

@@DarkOverlord96 The T-Rex Is The Movie Version Of Giga Bowser

Because it's nothing like the source material. If it wasn't a Mario movie, people would've liked it more

@@TheBlueShark I guess, I get that concept. although, imagine I was a painter, and I made a painting of Mario, but the painting was basically a screen grab. Nobody would like that either. I'm a big fan of waterworld, and battlefield earth too though, so there's that.

Hoskins lamented every moment he was involved in that movie until the end of his days, Leguizamo had to become a heavy drinker just to get through days on set because of how awful the direction staff were to work with(which led to one infamous incident where for a driving scene a fairly drunk John accidentally broke Bob Hoskins' hand and he had to wear a painted cast just to get through the rest of the movie) and Hopper was so disappointed by the script he concluded that he would only star in the thing just so he could have some money to buy his kid some clothes. If it's a film you cherish from your youth, that's totally cool and no one can take that from you, most are the same way with stuff like the 1998 Godzilla reboot too. But there is a good amount of reasons why most have issues from both an internal and external perspective with that movie and it's not some modern history revision bollocks at play here.

Honestly, there were a lot of fantasy movies from the 80s like Labyrinth, The Dark Crystal, The Neverending Story movies, Legend, Return to Oz, Time Bandits, or even Mom & Dad Save the World (which it’s director was originally hired to make a faithful adaptation for this movie) proved you COULD make a faithful Mario movie. They could’ve made sets that were a cross between The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland, and the creatures designed by the Jim Henson Creature Shop who’s made realistic yet cartoony characters. Sure, some things can’t work in life action during the 90s like the Koopa Troopas, or the floating coin blocks, but there’s way you could work around it. Like make them wrapped in the trees or giant mushrooms and the Troopas medieval knights with turtle features. Toad could just be a little person wearing a animatronic head (like what they did on Star Wars), The Goombas could still resemble their games but just scale their size to the size of a Gremlin that Mario could just kick in the air. Hell, Tokka in TMNT 2 also proved you CAN make Bowser in live action. All costume and animatronics with a little help of CG. I’m not a filmmaker and I just convinced you that it wouldn’t be that hard to make a faithful live action Mario movie in the mid-90s. You just need the right people behind it and Nintendo putting more input on the project.

@@brandonspain12345 Okay, let me say this AGAIN- The Mario iconography was so abstract and limited to pixels that a story beyond what was shown in the games. The absurdist psychedelic cyberpunk world they crafted from those pixels was creative and unique, and I honestly couldn't have seen it done a better way at the time. Keyword- BETTER. Some Wizard of Oz style movie wouldn't have been better. No matter how they adapted Mario, it wasn't something that could be translated to live-action without putting a fresh spin on it. If complete accuracy to the games is your thing, the Super Mario Bros Super Show made at the time is your thing. An animated Mario movie like the Super Show would've worked as a completely faithful reconstruction of the game world. As a live-action adaptation, it wouldn't have. Accuracy doesn't mean quality. Some of the best movies ever made are loose adaptations of books. Blade Runner was completely unrecognizable from what it was based on. That's not to say SMB 1993 is one of the best movies. For what it was, and what it accomplished with what it was given, it should be appreciated at least. It didn't deserve the hate it got, and gets a lot better when you aren't obsessing over its accuracy to the games..

You and me both. I saw that shit as well and had nightmares for a long time. This is definitely nightmare fuel

I'm a kid and when I saw this scene few weeks ago I was like "wait a second that's a Koopa not a goomba....wait it's a Koopa and a goomba

It's pretty freaking scary

And one of the worst.

@Elevator Alarm Coaster and Arcade Productions Inc. I watched with my dad as a kid. Its weirdness is seared into my memory. It's like a fever dream.

@@chronogamer7901 this movie definitely has a hidden "illuminati" agenda, now that I am an adult I can definitely see it...the theory about the humans evolving from reptiles / reptilian aliens is certainly a theory coming from the illuminati. Also the movie has a dark atmosphere in general, certainly not something you would expect from the Super Mario universe for kids, if anything it's messing with the minds of children (mine included as this movie was a fever dream for me too). And there are some foreshadowing elements too. In one scene this movie literally shows the Twin Towers collapsing just like it happened during 9/11 after all

​@@vados8500One of the most prescient entertainment works of all time. Also, this movie was the first to show Mario and Luigi in NYC, long before any of the games right?

I admittedly thought that it was Goomba droppings for the longest time. Would have been nice if they either kept the cut scene in, or did a take without the goop on the floor.

Before the slime was explained when I seen the movie the second time I thought it was king Koopa’s assistant, bleeding, green blood or pooping himself after he got punched by Mario.

Me too.

I'm love too, or I have the old VHS and the blu Ray

@@vhspate except the illumination mario movie is better

yeah it's probably a reference to the fact that Trump is a reptilian alien... 😅😂

It so was.

And funny!

tell me about it

No shit. Nintendo hardly had any creative involvement in this one other than licensing the names and characters. The Illumination Super Mario Movie was done with near full creative involvement from Nintendo and the Mario creator.

What do you mean "now"? This movie is from 1993 xD

Very insane.

I expect this.

its so bad its funny.
