Confirmation of on set drinking whilst commiserating over the shitshow during production:

"Bob used to get special whiskey sent from England—single malts—and we would drink those copiously in his caravan." - Fiona Shaw (Lena)

The 90s Mario movie is better than all the Marvel movies

And that's the hottest take I'll ever make.

I took an oath to defend the Marvel Cinematic Universe against all critique. But today I must forswear that oath.

Because you're not wrong.

Im thrilled that this movie is starting to get the cult following it so desperately deserves.

It's hard to argue that this movie is good in the traditional sense, but it's definitely unique and that counts for a lot with genre filmmaking.

I've always loved it for its weirdness, it's so bizarre and fun. I knew this day would come

It's no Shawshank, but damn, it's fun to watch a campy train wreck once in a while.

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same goes for double dragon, it was a fun movie

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)
[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Holy cow. Someone else has seen Double Dragon, and is willing to admit it?!

I too, have found my people.

[–] brygphilomena@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Oh man. Absolutely campy and yet I love it.

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Lol I still remember the song abobo plays in his vehicle

[–] remus989@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Wait, how the hell did I miss that there's a Double Dragon movie?!

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Co-starring Alyssa Milano no less.

Might have missed it cause it bombed pretty hard. Currently sits at a meaty 3.9 on IMDB

[–] remus989@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

I know what I'm watching tonight!

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Except that movie was awesome.

[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 48 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's the gritty psychedelic dystopian cyberpunk movie we didn't deserve. Nintendo had no idea how to produce a movie and just let them run fucking wild. Hollywood should be encouraged to take more chances. Fucking electric bumper cars demolition derby style car chase. Dino-people. Devo (the concept not the band). Psychic fungi. And all the other fucking weirdos. It's not even awesomely bad, it's badassly awesome.

What's most surprising to me is how closely the latest animated Movie Bros. movie followed the very broad strokes of the plot of the original, like a sanitized and fully kitsch commercial reboot, which is kind of appropriate for the world we live in.

[–] interrobang@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The over engineering of the bumper cars was fantastic, i get high and can't stop pausing my rewatch to talk about those cars every 30 seconds. Fucking awesome

[–] Entropywins@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

I suddenly need to get stoned with you and watch Mario bros

Wait, Is this a negative comment or a positive one?

As someone who enjoyed the weirdness of the 1993 movie, I absolutely loved the new animated film.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's my favorite terrible movie.

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I haven’t seen it since it first came out when I was just a little angryseal. You fine folks have convinced me that I need to see it again.

I loved all the video game movies as a kid. Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Mario. I loved all the cheesy cartoons too. You guys talk like little kid me missed something here.

Oh, and for fun because I can’t bring it up without doing it.

MWORTAL KAWMBAAAAT! Deet deet deet doot doot deet

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

I had the same experience on my first watch through. I was just angry that I didn't get anything like a reasonable Mario's Brothers movie.

It was a rewatch when I discovered how badassly awesome the film is.

I think I was watching it with a friend, on a dare, to see who could tolerate more. Or maybe it was just a weird re-run night where nothing else was on. Or both.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't even think it's terrible. Just really weird.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Well that makes it sound not amazing, which it is

I've heard he was good and drunk every day of filming just to get through it. It saddens me because IMO the result was pretty damn good largely because of him, I wish he'd have been able to enjoy making it as much as I've enjoyed watching it.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Doesn’t help that he suffered numerous injuries:

"If you're going to survive this film, you're going to have to be very, very careful [...] I got stabbed four times. Electrocuted. Broke a finger. Nearly got drowned."

The finger was due to Leguizamo's inexperienced driving skills. Slammed the brakes on a van with an open door onto Hoskins' hand.

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 28 points 1 year ago

Haskins once mentioned a conversation he had with his son after the movie bombed. His son asked him why he decided to be in the movie, to which he responded "So I could buy you new shoes." His son's response? "Dad, I don't need shoes that badly."

I just heard today that this is the best bad movie ever made.

[–] GladiusB@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

I dunno. I think Cabin Boy is close

[–] BruceTwarzen@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

Idk, i always kinda liked that movie. Maybe i'm blinded by nostalgia, but the dystopian underground city is pretty cool. The props work pretty well. The worst part about the movie is that it's a super mario movie for some reason and therefore they need to shoehorn mario lore. The thing that didn't really exist.

But hey a shitfaced Bob Hopkins and John Leguizamo playing super Mario Brothers. What is not to love?

Nah. Starcrash takes that title by a mile.

I saw this shit in the theater. No ragrets.

[–] TheFunkyMonk@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Well now I want to watch it again.

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just rewatched this the other day. It's even better than I remembered.

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

It sure is.

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I've not seen this since it came out... but am I having a fever dream or was John Leguizamo(sp?) Luigi?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nailed it on both actor and spelling.

[–] Big_Boss_77@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 1 year ago

No kidding, that's awesome... and damn we're getting old.

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s better than the tv show…

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 26 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Still holds a special place in my heart.

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

“Juuuuust liiiiiike thaaaaaat”

[–] MajorHavoc@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago

I would need some serious side by side watching before I can agree with you, on that.

The TV show is also, better than it has any right to be, in weird unexpected ways.

[–] the_joeba@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

I remember seeing it in theaters on opening day (I was 9). I've loved it ever since.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 year ago

That's one of those "so bad it's good" ones for me lol.
