Product: Super Mario Bros. [VHS] (1993)
Rating: 5.0
An underrated Video Game-based movie
I got this VHS at a Walgreens about six or seven years ago. The first time I watched this video I was six years old living in Japan and frankly my opinion has not changed to this day as it is a perfect example of a cult classic.My review:Picture quality: Good for 1993, CGI effects at the time would be considered state-of-the-artActing: Surprisingly good, with the acting being decent (a little-overdone) with funny linesMusic /Sound: SMB original theme can be heard at the start. I find the soundtrack catchy while sound-effects from previous Mario games playing in the backgroundPlot: A Human-Dino race from a another dimension in a city known as "Dinohattan" thrive as their diabolical Dictator King Koopa plots the conquest of our dimension by obtaining a piece of meteorite in order to merge our dimension with theirs from a young lady by the name of Daisy (The lost princess, whose father, the Fungus King was overthrown by Koopa) - whom has come into contact with two struggling-for-money Plumbers Mario Mario and Luigi Mario. And as Luigi and Daisy's romance heats up, Koopa sends out his near-dimwitted thug cousins: Ignatius "Iggy" Koopa and Spikeosaurus "Spike" Koopa to kidnap her and so they succeed, along with five other Brooklyn girls - thus Mario and Luigi cross the dimensional bridge to save the girls and would eventually get involved to stop Koopa once and for all...Best of all: One way to get Mario Syndrome, Mario references a plenty and abundant (Thwomp station, Bullet Bill's diner, Hammer Bros.' Tattoos, Big Bertha - the Bouncer at the Boom-Boom Bar, and among others)Get this on DVD or VHS, cause' face it: You're gonna get hooooooked on to the Brothers!-J. Garten
