SUPER MARIO BROS. (35mm)

Part of Midnight Movies

Mario and Luigi, two wacky plumbers, undertake a daring quest to save a princess in “Dinohattan” — a hidden world where the inhabitants evolved from dinosaurs! Mario (Bob Hoskins, WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?) and Luigi (John Leguizamo, MOULIN ROUGE!) face deadly challenges from a diabolical lizard king (Dennis Hopper, APOCALYPSE NOW) and must battle giant reptilian goombas, outwit misfit thugs, and undermine a sinister scheme to take over the world!

Love it or hate it (or love to hate it), when and where else are you going to get a chance to experience this delightfully strange disasterpiece on a glorious 35mm print with other midnight maniacs?

“Who would have thought that SUPER MARIO BROS., the movie based on the popular video game, could be such a treat? There are some, I'm sure, who saw the end of civilization here. But relax. This movie, which was directed by music video whiz kids Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, is sweet and funny and full of bright invention. In short, it's a blast…. SUPER MARIO BROS. may be junk, but it's superior junk. It wipes the floor with those turtle dudes.” —Hal Hinson, Washington Post (May 29, 1993)
