The Gaming Historian gives a history of the Super Mario Bros. Movie. It cost 48 million dollars to make, but only grossed 21 million. By most accounts, it was a disaster, from start to finish. Learn all about the making of the very first big budget video game movie.

I remember been so excited to see this film when I was a kid. I thought it was okay when I saw it, but my older brother hated it.

Is it the perfect "so bad it's good" movie? Or just a bad movie?

That movie's fine. Not great, not even good, but fine.

I saw this video in my sub-box, and I'm looking forward to watching it. This guy does some really good work, and I often learn a lot from watching his videos, even when they're on topics that I already thought I knew a lot about.

I'm a huge fan of TGH so I did watch this right away. However I haven't watched this movie. I really don't see the need since I've seen a ton of stuff online. What was new to me was the fact that it didn't even make money!!!

I'll end up watching it someday just to finally say that I did and to chronicle it.

I like the Mario Bros movie. I don't give a fuck, it's great. Dennis Hopper has a gun that turns dudes into monkies.
