these archive links are the ONLY way to watch it online, disney buried it.
I mean, I found it on some…other places. coughyohocough
It’s fine you can say you torrented it
Magnet links, surf shark or Trust.Zone if you don’t mind slow torrent but both are cheap as all hell.
Tixati or Qbittorent. I used to love uTorrent until it turned to shit.
you mean like the torrent i linked?
dude you gotta get on the online pirate media streaming sites. Bflix, Sflix, Putlocker, soap2day etc etc etc. we’ve come a long way from the Limewire days. i used to have a whole Plex server and hundreds of files with subtitles, box art, descriptions, all hand curated over 100s of hours. Now i just use free pirate clearnet streaming sites
I got that old shit on dvd, best Mario
A friend of mine gave me the DVD as a joke. Joke’s on him though, it’s a fun film!
Buried treasure
Sometimes it feels like I’m the only person who legitimately liked the first Super Mario Bros movie. I would regularly rewatch it when I would see it come on tv before I eventually recorded it so I could watch it whenever.
If you haven’t, I’d recommend watching the Morton Jankel cut. It restores some cut scene segments and improves some of the pacing as well.
It’s not great, by any means, but it’s a guilty pleasure. You can laugh at it and, in rare moments, with it. The kind of movie drinking games are made around.
I’ve come to peace with the fact that I’ll laugh way more watching a movie like this or “The Shark Side of the Moon” than any serious comedy. And I mean like belly laugh, not “lol” laugh.
There’s a sort of delight in watching a scene that you just know someone said after the nth take “good enough, we’ll fix it in post.” And forgot that the post processing budget was a pack of beer.
I’m big on b movies and schlock, I keep passing shark side of the moon, but you have made me reconsider haha
I loved it, my parents took me to see it at the theatre I was 10. I remember seeing the end where they teased a sequel and i waited for years so excited. I’m still waiting, I’m not giving up.
Man, you’re not alone…there’s dozens of us!
My people!
I still love it
Not only do I like the movie, I showed it to my 13-year-old daughter and she liked it too. And she did not like the new one (I didn’t see it).
First Mario movie is definitely worth a watch. Just don’t be sober.
God knows the leads weren’t.
At least it was lighter stuff than whatever was behind The Fifth Element
Best video game movie ever. And the fact that it was such a shitshow making it makes it even better. I’m in construction and every time I need to talk to a plumber I still say “King Koopa was right about you guys”. And fucking Mojo Nixon was in it.
Hey look, I found the plumber!
I almost down voted you for the light theme
Lol. Fair but I have eye problems and can’t deal with dark theme. Rest assured my friends give me enough shit for it.
Mojo Nixon is in two movies I love that very few other people seem to. This and Rock and Roll High School Forever. The sort-of sequel to the original 80s movie with The Ramones, but made in the 90s with Corey Feldman and a Corey Haim lookalike. It’s funnier than the original. And, again, fucking Mojo Nixon!
The movie is on YouTube- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jkc6vPd8NM
I’ll watch it this weekend.

I loved it as a kid. Next time I see it will either be through beer goggles or nostalgia goggles, or both.
So…what you’re saying is…trust the fungus?
So shrooms or flowers?
Yes
Last time I saw it was on 5g of mushrooms and I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
deleted by creator
So if one is false, it overwrites the result of the others. Good to know
The second one is also fun to watch while not sober. LSD made the rainbow road scenes much more fun.
Jack Black was really fun as Bowser.
Yes. That Peaches song is overrated though.
Hoskins and Leguizamo were apparently drunk from start to finish.
I watched it a few years ago, and it’s bad, but nowhere near as bad as you’d think.
There’s an interesting fan edit on the web with a bunch of deleted scenes added. I guess Disney came in at the last minute ( like literally a few days before shooting) and butchered the script to make it more kid friendly. The actors and director were understandably pissed and pushed back but Disney always wins. They ended up with all these gritty looking sets and a kind of goofy dialog that just didn’t match.
It’s a bummer because it seems like there were some really cool ideas in the original story.
Got a link by chance?
Yes I think this was it. I had some trouble finding a working version ( it’s been moved a few times since I found it on reddit a few months ago. This one is on internet archive and seems to be working still.

My brothers and I technically “watched” this film in the theater. I think the oldest of us at the time was 12, so the others would have been 9 and 3 at the time. My mother was unimpressed, and I remember it as the movie that would cement the rule that a video game movie will ignore the source material most of the time. Mortal Kombat only reinforced this impression, and I refuse to discuss the “Resident Evil” movies.
I will let you know if my initial distaste of the movie holds up.
Looks like it’s movie night for me! Totally gonna get it up on my computer and enjoy the chaos that is this amazing film!
so… so bad, it’s good?
No, not that far from bad.
To be honest, I love both films. Bob Hoskins was the perfect personification of Mario, IMHO. John Leguizamo, not so much, but I still enjoyed his portrayal of Luigi.
I like the original despite Leguizamo because I never liked him- that is until he guest hosted The Daily Show a few months back. He was incredible.
Saw the 90s one in theaters as a kid and I loved it. It may have failed the box office and the critics, but it diddnt fail me!
This and Double Dragon
That one was terrible. You’re not aiming for greatness when your big star is the almost mute liquid Terminator guy.
Street Fighter has to be the undisputed king of rubbish 90s videogame movies.
You still REFUSE to accept Raul Julia’s GODHOOD?
undisputed king of rubbish 90s video game movies? for Street Fighter, it was only a Tuesday.
I was a teenager when I saw it and I loved the aesthetic, I loved and still love Bob Hoskins in anything, and the movie had Mojo Nixon in it! Plus, Dennis Hopper gets to chew the scenery. I love it still.
Interesting enough, the old Super Mario movie was the premise of the Some More News movie. It’s a little out there and references past episodes of SMN, but when they start landing the references and comparisons, it blows your mind!
Wait there’s a what?!
Oh yeah, it’s a thing. I am on my phone or I’d find the link to it on the YouTube. One thing that has stuck with me from that movie is the comparison of old apocalyptical/grim future movies of the 80s and 90s and the fundamental way they differ from similar movies of the last 20 years or so.
I don’t want to ruin it cause Cody and the team do an excellent job getting to that point, but it’s a nice payoff!
So avant garde and ahead of its time that we still haven’t gotten to the point where it’s actually good
ok, hear me out, watch the super mario movie, then the movie Pest, then Spawn. I bet you’ll think the movie is good.
That is too much leguizamo for anyone to attempt in a single sitting. Know your limits!
The animated one was fine but completely forgettable. The old one I’d rewatch in the future.
The events of the new movie wouldnt really have changed if Mario wasnt in it at all.
He learnt that from him brother.
And where’s the comparison?
I turned off the new one when they got to the Rainbow Road, can’t say I enjoyed it up to that part but that’s when I felt it was an advertisement not a story
So, The Wizard part 2: Nintendo Boogaloo?
I tried to watch it on a flight recently and didn’t make it through the first repair. I ended up finding something else to watch entirely
What was it an ad for?
It’s really subtle, but there are little ads for all manner of Nintendo products hidden all over the … Super Mario Brothers movie.
Nintendo’s Mario franchise. Zero substance movie.
Not OP btw.
Sonic the Hedgehog, obviously.
Can you guess which Mario movie was written for people with lead poisoning?
Neither?
It was a joke about how insane the og mario movie was and how insane lead poisoning was 😂
Lighten up
Lighten up
Not sure how you read my tone in one word and a question mark, but you do you
You answered a joke with an answer. Copium
Maybe you should figure out what a joke is. Lighten up 😂
Where does Super Hornio Bros fit?
Next to the ark of the covenant in a warehouse.
