Unfortunately, everyone's favourite Koopa King has passed away today aged 74 after a long battle prostate cancer. Share your thoughts about this tragic loss to Hollywood.
For those who do not know, Dennis Hopper played King Koopa in the 1993 live-action version of Super Mario Bros. (which is probably up there with some of the worst films of all time)

Didn't surprise me at all. Unfortunately I only really know him for King Koopa. To be fair, I haven't watched that many movies. (Which I'm trying to fix)
Aww, shame. Dennis Hopper was a really good actor, even in Waterworld. Rest in peace.
True, I remember even in crap films, he always did a decent job with his acting. I feel like watching the original Mario Bros. movie in honor of him...but man it's hard to sit through.

Okay, this one I can understand, but do we really need a thread for every celebrity that dies? :/
I don't post too often, but when I saw this I instinctively thought it was massively relevant - because it is! I also posted it because there wasn't a story on the main page about it, so I thought I'd let the good people of the public know.

I loved Hopper. The scene where Walken shoots him in True Romance is one of my fave film scenes of all time. I can't think of a single thing i've seen him in where he wasn't always at the top of his game (no matter how horrible the movie may have been -- and he was in plenty of crap FAR worse than the SMB movie).
