In 1993, Nintendo decided to turn its flagship video game Super Mario Bros. into a big-screen adventure film. How well did it do? Well, let’s just say that when The Guardian asked actor Bob Hoskins who played Mario Mario (yes, that’s his character’s name) what was the worst job he’d ever done, what was his biggest career disappointment, and what part of his career he would change, he simply said, “Super Mario Bros.

The first Super Mario Bros. movie made some truly bizarre decisions that have made it a cult classic with a huge fanbase. It’s set in some kind of industrial version of the Mushroom Kingdom in which the evil King Koopa, played by Dennis Hopper, rules over the region by de-evolving his enemies into human sized Goombas and Turtles and the former king into a growing fungus that engulfs the city. There’s also a princess, something about a meteorite piece that can merge dimensions, and Mojo Nixon plays Toad (no, seriously).

Mocky Horror stars comedians Liz Barksdale, Danny Gallagher and Albie Robles making fun of a movie in a theater on the big screen. They also write and throw special prompts into the film so the audience can yell jokes and use props to make fun of the movie with them.
