That fungus-king would've traumatized the gently caress out of me if I saw this movie at the age I was presumably supposed to have.

I will say some positive thing about this movie: It's definitely got an effects budget. That yoshi puppet was downright decent (a few years later, and we'd have gotten some horrific CGI monstrosity) and the dystopian city is a lot of fun, even if it's not exactly theme appropriate.

It's definitely watchable, just incoherent and with a script that's obviously 40 different ideas mashed together. Dennis Hopper brings it if nobody else did. No mammal!

I'll go on a limb and say that Hoskins brought his A-game to it....well, as much as an A-Game as you can bring when you spend the whole production drunk off your rear end. And I really liked how expressive the Goomba faces could be for how simple they were.

I actually think Leguizamo and Hoskins make for a fairly likable Luigi and Mario, and Dennis Hopper's performance just makes me cringe. The movie itself is so bad I have trouble watching it though.

I saw this in theaters when I was 14 and would have forgotten it existed for the next 20 years or so, if not for a strange vivid nightmare I had a few days later. In it, a middle school teacher of mine known for being very round and fat but with a small head was following me around silently as one of the movie goombas. Except instead of a lizard head, it was a tiny version of his head with the same "YAAAAY" expressions that the Toad goomba had.

Would you like to know who else was considered for various roles? Koopa was nearly Michael Keaton, Arnold Schwarzenegger (We were spared 2 hours of lizard puns...worse lizard puns), and Kevin loving Costner.  Other Marios included DeVito (obvious, really), Bruno Kirby (yeah, not surprising), and Tom Hanks was originally cast, before Hollywood Pictures figured they could turn a bigger profit if they paid Bob Hoskins as opposed to Tom Hanks. I'm sorry, I want to see the alternate version with Tom Hanks and Kevin Costner. That would be loving amazing.

I gotta say, I love the fact that, while everyone else working on the movie was drinking away the pain or just flat-out losing their poo poo, Fisher Stevens and Richard Edson just embraced the insanity and started just writing their own dialog.

That was a really solid Riff. Mainly because they seemed to toss in a reference to every piece of Mario lore possible. In terms of weird poo poo from the movie, there was recently a webcomic started up by two guys who are friends with one of the writers of the Mario movie. Namely the writer who insisted on doing the cliffhanger at the end. He told the guys what his ideas were for a sequel and they decided to make it in comic form. It's essentially a Mario movie-style reinterpretation of Mario 2.

Which is OK, I guess, but considering that I've seen the MST3K episode about a dozen times, I'm not that amped up about it. But, I could very easily be wrong, and I look forward to seeing what they chose.

I'd welcome that or Time Chasers (Time Chasers more so) because the full cut of each movie has some really funny scenes that were omitted from the MST3K episodes.

not only do we get a live announcement of the next Rifftrax Live film but we get a shiny new VOD as well! http://www.rifftrax.com/video/terror-at-tenkller Rifftrax posted:Follow-up to the rarely seen, totally imaginary films Ennui at Eightkiller and Nausea at Ninekiller, Terror at Tenkiller really brings the goods! And by “the goods” we mostly mean there’s a character named Tor in it. Seriously, at this point the Venn diagram of “movies featuring a character or actor named Tor” and “movies we have riffed” must be approaching a perfect circle. Why does this keep happening? We don’t know, but you can be sure an insane scientist in some B movie is hard at work on the answer, and that his name is Tor!

You know, I've seen Sharknado and I honestly couldn't tell you if it was bad-on-purpose or just bad. I mean, I'm pretty sure the writer and director made the movie that bad on purpose, but I think you can argue it either way. Regardless, though, that's going to be AMAZING.

I actually remember an interview with some of the Asylum crew talking about how hard it is to make no-budget shlock that isn't obviously tongue-in-cheek and throwing winks to the camera left and right. It's a fine line between a movie not being in on the joke and a movie being too in on the joke. But yeah, they're fully aware that they're making campy garbage.

It's an Asylum movie, made specifically because someone threw darts at a board and it hit "Shark" and "Tornado". I didn't find it funny at all, just boring. They tried way way too hard to be so-bad-it's-good. Those movies only work when the people making them are, you know, TRYING to make a good movie, and failed horribly. Beyond the name, I have no loving clue why people got so excited about it. So yeah, I'm not interested in seeing this again, even with Rifftrax over it.
