The 1993 adaptation ofNintendo’sSuper Mario Bros.video game franchiseis a nostalgia sucker punch , and to celebrate its 4 K return , there ’s a planned run to showcase the film in theaters .
According toCrunchyroll , the Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo star live - military action feature will be in theaters for its 30th day of remembrance . But yes , there ’s a snatch — it will only screen out in Japan starting September 15 . Whomp , whomp … or rather , drrrupp do - do - do - do - do - do for those of us in the states . With the smash success of Universal and Illumination’sThe Super Mario Bros. Movie , we hope that there will be a special run of the original feature that bring the Mario Bros. to the big screen for the first time .
sure as shooting , it extend quite a whirl on the fabric by not taking place in the Mushroom Kingdom , but rather an alt - population Manhattan address Dinohattan , where the dyad had to save Princess Daisy ( Samantha Mathis ) from President Koopa ( Dennis Hopper ) . Man , the ‘ 90s were a strange clock time — some of my earliest memories were of this film and the shrunken dino - lead suit . Pure incubus fuel , but practical effects magic !
