Escape to the Movies: Super Mario Bros. (Rough Cut)

[MowDownJoe]

And AGAIN Nintendo ignores Earthbound! What do we have to do to get some respect?

In all seriousness, not the greatest April Fool's joke, but it had its moments.

Though I was hoping you were going to review Hop, I'm not going to lie and say that this wasn't pretty entertaining too. Especially considering that you had me for most of the video. I didn't realize it was a joke until you "Samuel L. Jackson Spoiler Alert" part. I mean, Nintendo has the money to pull off all those outlandish things like "5-D" and "Mongolia", so why not?

Well played, Bob =)

OK, so was that Bill Hicks as the director? Also, Nova Scotia is pronounced sko-sha or was intended to be silly like "down Argentiny way"

God I hate April Fool's Day

 

[solidstatemind]

Yup. Knew the punchline before even hitting play. Stupidest annual event ever. To paraphrase the words of Tycho from Penny-Arcade: "I don't want my gaming media to play April Fools jokes on me, any more than I want my doctor to hand me Skittles and say it's medication just because it's the first day of April."

Didn't even realise it was an April fools joke till I read the other comments...

 

[Okysho]

Holy crap!! You had me going there for a sec with the "smash initiative"

APRIL FUCKING FOOLS BOB!!

CHEERS!!! BEST APRIL FOOLS JOKE EVER!!

The thing about this, I actually considered how well the Super Mario Brothers would work as a darker more "normal" esque action movie, and while what Bob says here is an interesting rough idea, there's potential for sure.

maybe not just Mario Brothers....

AMAZING BOB!!! HAPPY APRIL FOOLS!! YOU GOT ME!!

I'm glad I prepped my brain for trolling when I woke up this morning.

Loved the video, but the funniest thing is all of the people who probably believed you.

You never can have enough Ds

I appreciate that this has been the only glaring AF joke today that I actually snickered at. Congrats Bob.

Also, if something like this ever does get made, Jewel Staite as Peach. This I command.

 

[Arqus_Zed]

Pretty nice.
I don't care much about Nintendo, but I liked all the references to other movies you've put in there.

Next time, do one where Kirby gets a dark re-imagening: "We're thinking about a Silence Of The Lambs or a Texas Chain Saw Massacre kind of thing, Kirby will eat his enemies and then wear their skin."

 

[bdcjacko]

Lol...but you have to really try hard to make a super mario movie worse than the one that does exist.

 

[NezumiiroKitsune]

I caught on at Wommy Tiseau. This was done impressively straight, excellent work

 

[GiantRaven]

It has Gary Oldman and The Rock?! Well that has me sold.

 

[sg137iu]

lol. You are such a Nintendo fanboy, Bob.

I still loved this.

Ke$ha Peach in 5D.

Will "Madea Goes to Dreamland" be in 5D?

Did I spell that right? Ke$ha?

There is no right way to spell Ke$ha.
