Super Mario Bros.
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Annabel Jankel, Rocky Morton
1993 / 104min / 35mm
Before the 21st-century video game-to-film adaptation boom, there was 1993’s Super Mario Bros.—a critical punching bag and box-office catastrophe at the time of its release which, after years in which the “video game movie” formula has been codified and homogenized, now can be seen for the daffily charming, eccentric, and technically innovative piece of work it is, and has been accordingly adopted by a loyal cult following. Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo play the intrepid Brooklyn plumbers, plunging into the underground world of Dinohattan to save Princess Daisy (Samantha Mathis) from the clutches of the ruthless King Koopa (Dennis Hopper) in a film so loathed and loved that it can never be forgotten.
Introduction from filmmaker Ted Geoghegan on Friday, October 18th
