The 1993 movie adaptation of Nintendo's Super Mario Bros. series may have received scathing reviews and failed to set the box office alight, but it's still fondly remembered by a great many people, and has recently seen a resurgence in popularity due to the tragic passing of its star, Bob Hoskins.
UK fans of the film will be pleased to learn that it is getting a regional re-release on Blu-ray this November.
Hoskins was famously negative about the film, even going as far as to state that it was the worst move of his entire career. At least he saved Danny DeVito the bother.

Oh no......
.............I remember I watched this with my bro and I had fun times with it.....and now.........I don't know why I liked it in the first place????
I don't care what anybody says I actually like this movie, I remember going cinema to watch it so it brings back alot of happy memories for me shame I don't have a blu ray player but I'm happy enough with my DVD and I'm sure I have it on VHS somewhere too!
I still enjoy this movie. I never hated it. Its at least better than the Van Damme Street Fighter movie. I'd buy it if it came to the U.S. with a reasonable price tag.
Why doesn't Luigi have a mustache?
That movie looks both awful and funny at the same time.
@antdickens You know I never noticed that lol.
I might buy it, to take a hammer to it Such a bad movie in my opinion.
Brilliant I can ask for it for Christmas! He he
@antdickens This film gets everything wrong so don't be surprised!
@Phle Yep you're bang on
Hey one of my favorite "bad" movies! It and street fighter are always great on rainy days.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie is a very bad movie, but it's "so bad that it's funny".
Awful then still rubbish now lol Why don't they bring out the Super mario bros cartoon on blu ray instead it would be much better.
No chance. This film is ACE. My son will love this
American release, please!

It's not all bad, yes very underwhelming but isn't as bad as movies like Alone in the Dark or House of the Dead. At least they got the Banzai Bill and Bob-bomb designs right
I'd get it. I have a recording of it on VHS when it was TV one time. I still have no idea why I like it so much.
I watched it this summer with my brother. I thought it was really bad, my brother called it the worst movie ever and wanted to have the time back he used to watch it.
