In the early 1990’s, Mario and Luigi were all the rage. The Nintendo video game franchise had become a massive worldwide phenomenon, so it only made sense for Hollywood to try and cash in on it. The Super Mario Bros movie was the first movie based on a video game ever made, and it did not exactly inspire confidence in the genre.
Starring Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo, Dennis Hopper and Samantha Mathis, the movie is completely bonkers and raises a whole lot of questions. Like how did dinosaurs also evolve into humans? Why do none of the characters have anything to do with their video game counterparts? Why did they go all-in on the plumbing aspect? Why does President Koopa not just go through the portal? How did they think this would get a SEQUEL?!
To answer all these questions and more, step inside the pitch meeting that led to Super Mario Bros! It’ll be super easy, barely an inconvenience.

I worked at a movie theater when this came out. After each showing it was like watching kids who have recently died inside walk out in confusion and disappointment
😂😂😂😂
Dead! Lmao
I was one of the only kid to actually like it back then
It’s funny that their sadness is bringing me happiness right now
@fistonladin I imagine if it had not been associated with the Mario IP it might have been a perfectly entertaining, if completely forgettable, kids movie for the time.
The cat was hugging you because he knew you had to watch this movie, and he was giving you all of the emotional support he can. That's a good kitty
Ohhhhh good kitties are tight!
…………………
Oh no
@@Fuccoffbud oh YES!
@@Fuccoffbud oh *NO*
I have 2 cats that's bull cats only hug you to make you do what they want.
I do love them though I miss mama cat lost her to cancer this year.
"I don't...I don't care." The confidence that screenwriter guys exudes saying this just cracks me up every time.
Yeah, one of my favorite bits in the entire series
one of my favoprite clips from him
“Yeah. Sure. I don’t care”😂🤣😂
@@Coastfogsame here.
I love it too. It's the exasperation in his voice.
The joke starting with the confusion about mushrooms and ending with "it would have messed with my acid trip" is top tier material !
You see it coming a mile away, but then it still hits like a mack truck.
@@calmbbaer acid or the joke? Acid I agree the joke I didn't see
Keep in mind the cat doesn't know about the camera so he just assumes you're holding him and telling a nice story just for him 😂
That's an adorable take on it. And Eddie Red-Mane probably really enjoys hug-and-storytime with his dad. Too cute! 🥺
It's-a-me, Cat Mar-ee-oooo!
This is probably why cats meow at nothing at 2am. They don't know what the heck *you* are yelling at in the middle of afternoon nap-time. You inconsiderate human.
Cats know a lot more than many people realize, they just kind of don't care. They may think he's on a Zoom call. My cats know what a Zoom call is. But they're hyper intelligent beyond what most people think and understand a lot more than they let on.
Naw he knows he’s talking at something. My cat hated cameras lol distracted from him
Your cat gives hugs!?!?!?! That was the best part of this revisit.
I had a cat that died last year and this made me miss him. He used to insist on hugging me too. He was the best cat.😪
@@jaymz1758 You were so lucky. It's hard not to miss them when they are so great. Here's you a hug, cat friend 🫂
@@jaymz1758 RIP, all Cat-Friends. 🐈
Did we know he was engaged already? If not that, would win the race for best part
mine loves to come on my lap and tries to bury his head in my chest or below my arm.
The cat giving hugs is absolutely the cutest thing ever. Sorry, what was the rest of the video about?
The Meowio meovie I think.
literally heard zero words during cat time. need more cat cameos. #BringUsTheKitty
I love how the cat just clings to Ryan throughout the second half 😻
Learning that Ryan's cat gives him hugs was the highlight of my day.
“I have one of those cats that hugs” was the cutest flex I’ve ever heard
Hugging cats is tight!
Dude, this is crazy… I ALSO have one of those cats that hugs, he ALSO drools on me while hugging, and he ALSO is an orange boy. Seriously, he looks EXACTLY like Ryan’s cat and hugs in the EXACT same way-just lays on top of my shoulder and stays there drooling until he’s had his fill. On top of that, my cat was hugging me at the same EXACT time I watched this video. My jaw dropped when Ryan’s cat did it-I couldn’t believe the timing.
Hopefully this doesn’t come across as a “flex,” lol. It’s just that I was not aware this was a thing other cats do too!
@@Kristyle187 Fun fact, Ryan's catto does the same thing towards the end of the Captain Marvel Pitch Meeting!
@@Kristyle187 same but mine is a Tortoiseshell with thumbs 🤷♀️
This is by far my favorite pitch meeting.
The "I don't...I do not care" towards the end is pretty much the exact story of this movie.
All the "I don't care"s had me struggling for air by the end.
It's actually my favorite Pitch Meeting line! I just can't forget the whole passion he had while saying the line
You never have to apologize for an adorable cat that wants hugs. That whole segment could have been silent and it still would have been fine. As for the Manhattan joke... How dare you! Lol
I think the Manhattan joke, works as is. The producer guy is often a well of knowledge that runs counter to his core character which is surprising and builds into the lore of your pitch meeting cinematic universe. It adds a chuckle to the video, and builds in further chuckles in other videos.
I was thinking the same thing!
Point of order, Mario didn't say "It's-a me, Mario" until Super Mario 64, which came out three years after this movie. This gag must have been pitched by the time-traveling reporter.
You seem to be lost; I think you're looking for Seth Meyers' Corrections series. :D
I also thought the same thing :)
Fun fact*: The line is actually "It saw me... Maria!" And it's from a religious character that got eaten by a dinosaur shortly after.
*not actual fact
Whoopsie
This was pointed out in the comments many times in the original Pitch Meeting video so the fact Ryan didn't acknowledge it here is really annoying (but not as annoying as the movie calling those things Goombas even though they resembled Goombas in no way).
The “oh my god I don’t-I don’t care” makes this episode one of the funniest ever
My mother achieved sainthood by not only taking me to this film when it came out, but sitting patiently through the whole thing. I walked out of that movie feeling like some part of my youth had been irreparably violated.
irrepairibly traumatizing a child is tight 😂
@@rahulverma8774thank god you said traumatizing and not violating 😂😂😂
This is absolutely my favorite pitch meeting. "A big old fungus and it wants to help" is our code at work for useless management types and gets frequent use. And I love mushroom/acid bit and the screenwriter guy's increasing agitation at having to explain the plot.
9:50 Ironically the cat jumping out of Ryan's arms had more of a connection to Super Mario Brothers than the live action movie did.
hehe
I don't quite see how but yet again, _ALMOST ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING_ has more to do with the _"Super Mario Bros."_ video game than _"Super Mario Bros.: The Movie🎬"_ 😄😂🤣
cats, jumping and arms are regularly in Mario games so technically it also unironically had more of a connection than the movie
😂😂😂😂😂
They used to just be called "movies" before Disney decided to cash grab everything and they needed to segregate between animated and live action versions.
A hugging cat is the best cameo in all media history!
FWIW the “extra 10 seconds” was a highlight to me. I enjoyed the longer aspect, and the “I’m somehow convinced” was brilliant
I liked it, too.
100% Agree! I loved that whole part
I love learning about something new I never would've bothered googling otherwise.
@@exploshaun❤❤❤
You know what, I would love to see a Tremors Pitch Meeting!
Oh baby
Yes please!
Please please please please!!!
This!!!this right here!
that would be a really good one!
The final "I don't care" always gets me. One of my favourite pitch meetings
When this movie came out, I was a typical 8-year old (or rather 9 when it came out on VHS, since I didn't watch it in the cinema), whose whole personality was basically centered around Nintendo. I cannot put into words the excitement I felt when I heard there would be a Super Mario movie. After finally getting to see it, I think this was the determining experience that prepared me for dealing with life's constant disappointments.
Well said my friend. I was the same age when it came out, and learned that the "hype" would make it very disappointing, so much so I haven't even seen the new animated one yet because of my 9 year old angst (is that a thing?)
9 year old angst is a real thing but the new Super Mario Bros animated movie is really great so you should see it while you have the chance!!!
Ah yes, character building moment to learn how to deal with disappointments. I was around that age too, while I was a Nintendo gamer I don't recall seeing it in theatres and not until VHS possibly years later after it was well known that it was a weird, strange, off the charts movie that barely resembles the game. I went in prepared to laugh at how absurd it was.
2:00 I have that "Mario Mario and Luigi Mario" stuck in my head. It's gonna be there forever.
I was not ready for the Australian accent. I died. 😂😂😂
Died inside
I really liked the joke about how he explains what Manhatten actually means
What would have made it work is if Producer Guy said, "then what does 'hatten' mean?" and Screenwriter Guy says, "Island, I'm assuming:. and Producer Guy says, "Oh! Ok!"
The cat hugs are absolutely incredible. What a sweet little friend you have there.
The cat is so cute!!
I went back and re-watched this video specifically for the cat hug.
Meow :3
How it jumped off 😅❤
What if it's trying for a choke hold but is just too small to pull it off and gets sleepy - thus drool.
Cat cameos are awesome
Cat cameos are tight
I actually really enjoy when you hammer a joke a little bit. It builds the feeling that the characters are just skirting the perimeter of self-awareness. It makes the final "well ok then" super funny.
The acid trip joke absolutely slayed me the first time I saw this pitch meeting. And producer guys reaction to it is the cherry on top 😂. This is top 3 pitch meetings for me.
What are the other two?
@@jamesblanchard8053 SW:tRoS and GoT:s8.
Actually GoT:s8 is my absolute favorite.
Star Wars: the Return of Sith?
The "I DON'T CARE"s in this pitch meeting are probably my favorite thing in any pitch meeting ever, and I'd love to see more of those in other pitch meetings. Pitch meeting.
Pitch meeting?
@@IntrusiveThot Pitch meeting.
Fish meeting
Dish beating
"I don't care" instead of caring about him "getting off your back" makes this the best one.
The what does hattan mean “i dont know” part was one of the biggest laugh for me glad you didnt cut it
This is one of your best pitch meetings ever.
Sidenote: my daughter’s best friend’s father is the voice of “EA sports… It’s in the game!” It was like meeting my childhood hero.
On your self criticism, I personally love it when the producer guy has sparks of being very knowledgeable even on super specific subjects. Him knowing the precise etymology of Manhattan but still letting Dinohatten get used is hysterical.
Producer may be out of touch, but he still needs to make money.
Producer Guy has high intelligence but low wisdom.
Yes, please keep those in
I like to think producer guy is actually relatively smart (I mean, there's a reason he's in that position) but he's just really easily impressed.
Also, I like to learn a fun fact from time to time, and I'm glad producer guy can provide that in a brief and exciting way.
I remember being so excited to see this as a kid and that was the last time I got to choose the movie to go see....my whole family left dying inside.....
Bahahahha. That wasn’t your fault, but I’m assuming you’re the middle child because that sounds like something that would have happened to me.
The image of screen writer guy with no stache or teeth at the end is the most existentially horrifying thing to ever haunt my nightmares. Thanks for that.
I was a preteen when this came out and absolutely obsessed with Mario. When I first found out they were making this I could not have been more excited, like counting down the days. My parents took my brother and I opening weekend. To this day it is hard to explain how soul crushing this movie was. How I went from complete elation to being, not angry or confused, just hurt. Shattered might be the correct word.
*”I’m not mad. I’m just disappointed.”*
😂
I am getting upset just watching this pitch meeting. It infuriates me when the movie completely disrespects the beloved source material.
I'm so sorry for your pain, lol. I had the same experience with the Dragonball Evolution movie.
Same with the [redacted]THERE IS NO MOVIE IN BA SING SE.
@@mrydobon From what I understand they needed a director really, really bad and unfortunately had no choice but to hire the two most possible worst people in the fucking world to make this movie. Apparently the directors absolutely despised either this game, video games as a whole or just magic and fun. It's super fucked up.
“I don’t care. I can’t stress how much I don’t care.” Sums up the movie perfectly. 😂
As soon you said you’d draw a mushroom, I knew you couldn’t show it at the end. 😬🤣
I feel like the "I don't care" line really fits with a lot of movies.
As an Aussie myself, please let me tell you sir--your Australian accent is ON POINT lmaoooo. I was literally figuratively dying, for real ROFL. That was so perfect. Keep up the amazing work ! Love all your vids--one of the most incisive & hilarious critics around.
Oih nough!
Hulllluoooiiiiooughhhh!
Google offered to translate your "Hello" into English, which made me cackle heartily.
Is it just me or are more people using "Oh no" as there go-to phrase when doing an Aussie accent these days?
Anything that gets us further away from those damn prawns on the bbq is ok in my book!
@@skunkrat01 Oiiiiooiiii Knoiiiiioooooowwwwww, Roiiiight?
I was SO hyped for this as a kid. Bob Hoskins was such a good fit for Mario, and I'd liked him in Who Framed Roger Rabbit, so it didn't even occur to me that the movie could be bad (I was only 12). I was confused for most of it, but I remember being mad that Goombas were the exact opposite of in the game. As for the rest, it was almost too weird to react to at all, but I didn't regret seeing it.
Screenrant: You gotta make a Mario movie pitch meeting, it's in right now
Ryan: Don't worry, I understand exactly what you mean
Wouldn't be surprised at all if that's next week's pitch meeting
Honestly, I liked the Manhattan bit, the breaking of the flow of the conversation by mentioning an barely relevant bit of trivia thing really works for me.
breaking the flow of conversation with barely relevant trivia is TIGHT! come on dude, it was right there!
And that's what separates the fans from the creators
I honestly wouldn't have known what Manhattan was named for without that part. So I appreciated it.
I came to the comments to mention that I appreciated this bit as well. I think the creator mind is pushing for efficiency and flow when the fans just like hearing him make jokes, and then more jokes.
Exactly, that's what made it funny.
I actually Love that you keep the background timeline appropriate. Your attention to detail is very appreciated.
And wigs! Those things are GROOVY
Saw this movie in the theater when it came out, and loved it. (I was a kid, who knows why.)
For whatever reason, I am still waiting for a part 2.
R.I.P. Bob Hoskins.
i was a kid and i loved it too, it was so weird and different than anything else coming out for kids at the time.
Always love a Thursday Pitch Meeting notification 😁
“No sir, I didn’t take any magic mushrooms…”
“Oh thank god”
“…that would have completely messed with my acid trip” 😂
That was top-notch, cracked me up too!
That DESTROYED me I had to pause the video 😂
That totally cracked me up. 😂😂😂
Thursday pitch meetings are TIGHT
But also that combo is tight! Best day I’ve ever had in my life. 😂
The computer matters. I saw 3 videos of pitch meeting in the span of a week, noticed the computer changed after the third, and immediately binged like all of them.
Also the fact that your cat gives hugs has made it the most important living creature in the universe to me.
8:29 Since you asked, I was 6 years old, and it was my first movie experience as a kid. I kinda remember some people walking out at the sight of the Goomba transformation dragging their children along with'em, who were profusely enjoying the weirdness. My mother wasn't fazed, she generally zoned out on movies and just wanted me to have a great day. Ah, memories...
When I first saw the movie, I actually enjoyed it. because it was a different world, and that kinda clicks with me.
I also had a cat that loved to hug. I did not know there were others that did that.
The exasperated "I jus- I just don't care" as it gets further along, might be my favorite pitch meeting -ism so far, so funny
Can't wait to see you pitch the new Super Mario Bros Movie
I hope we get a small Ryan George cover of Peaches
@@BlitzerXYZ we probably won’t
Making a pitch meeting for the new Mario movie will be super easy barely an inconvenience!
@@BlitzerXYZ Humanity doesn’t deserve such greatness
I liked the new movie but it was basically a giant cut scene
That was a great EA Sports impression! And one of the cutest cats ever.
I for one appreciated the extra 10 seconds on the Manhattan joke!
This is without any doubt the greatest live action Super Mario Bros movie starring Bob Hoskins of all time
who framed roger rabbit. only for the fact you'll never get bugs and mickey in a joint venture ever again
Top ten, definitely, anyway.
Wait that was a movie?
Multiple 'I don't care' from Writer Guy... I laughed incrementally harder each time he says it 😂
Well it is definitely a movie of all time
I can't get over how many times he reiterates how much he doesn't care 😭😭😭
I also have a cat that gives hugs and drools copiously when doing the hugging. Very strange but very sweet.
Played a bunch of super Mario growing up, I remember being so excited to see to us as a child, then being really sad and confused after watching it. Kinda like your parents telling you you’re going to Disney World and then you wind up at a Chuckycheese….
This is entirely worth it just for the drooling hug-cat.
😽💧
For me the entire 'Manhattan'-part is in the top two best moments of the entire sketch (the other one being the acid-trip part). All in all the Super Mario Bros. Pitch Meeting is one of my favorites :-)
I was very young when it came out. I remember not understanding a thing but still loving it because it had "Mario" in it.
9:18 you see, Manhattan means island of many hills this is a reference to green Hills from sonic the hedgehog 1 and 2, which is also based off the games sonic the hedgehog 1, 2, 3, 2006 and sonic cd, adventure 1 and 2, heroes, generations, colors, forces and frontiers
If there is anyone on this planet who deserves a cat that hugs people, it is Ryan George!
I think that acid joke is one of the best in the series. Caught me off guard after the Mushroom bit.
I watched the movie as a child at the cinema. Loved it and I still loving it!
only people i remember not liking it around me were the adults.. all my friends and i fucked with this movie heavy back then.. proly still do
Because adults know its absolute bonkers even if as a standalone. And it's an insult to the actual game and they know the game as much as their kids do!
Yes, seeing "Super Mario Bros." in the theater was an EMOTIONAL ROLERCOASTER. Excitement, confusion, anger, coping, then just more anger. In that order.
If I'm being honest now, I never got over it. Still angry.
As a Mario Kid I was so freaking excited for this movie. All my friends were. It was monumental, a MOVIE about a VIDEO GAME?!! It was going to be historic! We went into the theater bouncing up and down with excitement. And then the movie happened. It was like a divorce hearing where the person you're in love with has their lawyer list off all the reasons they actually hate you. Some of us never recovered.
You should set up a go fund me for your friends that never recovered.
@@orangebeagle3068 help support the watchers of the original mario movie! Donate to the dinohattan recovery foundation today.
Wow, your analogy sounds specifically painful....
I can terribly relate--at which point, at the age of 4, I began being suspicious of any movie based off a property I enjoyed or video game based off a property I enjoyed... My cynicism is deeply rooted to this movie
I actually kind of loved this movie as a late 80s kid. Had it on VHS and probably watched it at least a few dozen times. In many ways I might even call it unironically good. The soundtrack/score is great, many of the action set pieces are well done, many of the special effects hold up surprisingly well, the zany world building is interesting, Dennis Hopper hamming it up is a treat, etc. I was actually really surprised when I grew up and learned just how much vitriol and hate other people have for it.
Now I had basically zero attachment to the source material (I was absolutely horrendous at platformers, and didn't own any video game consoles anyway so I only played computer games - meaning my only engagement with Mario in the early-mid 90s was the TV show/cartoon with Lou Albano). So I'm sure that played a part for me not being disappointed. But I do think if many of the haters would try to let go of that and treat it as its own thing rather than an adaptation^, they might actually enjoy it for itself.
^The complaints about it diverging so much from the source material instead of "faithfully" following the story of the games ring pretty hollow for me. When so many of the core story elements are already nonsensical/insane to begin with (a jumping, shapeshifting plumber battles various creatures in a land full of mushroom people) and most of those earlier games had very little actual story/plot to them (the plumber wants to rescue a princess kidnapped by a weird turtle/dinosaur/dragon monster - that's basically the entire story right there).
This is one of my
favorite Pitch Meetings. The part “omg I don’t care” is funny everytime
The cat hug was super unexpected for me but wow so wholesome
Having a cat that hugs you is tight
I like the 10-second “somehow I’m convinced” Manhattan sequence because even though it’s a layered joke, it’s still cute and lands twice. It’s perfect the way it is.
As an Australian I can say with 100% certainty Ryan's Auzzie accent was on point
None of us doubted that in the least, but it's nice to have confirmation. :P
Needs to smoke more cigarettes to get that Sophie Monk voice.
It was actually the first time a rendition of an Aussie accent has offended me, and it offended me deeply.
@@brucewillis542 - Nah, the only offensive "Australian" accent was at the end of Point Break with the cop saying "Will git him when he cooms bark een!"
@@RictusHolloweye Quentin Tarantino in Django, and Kano in any of the MK games was pretty shocking
The "I don't care" lines in this particular pitch meeting make me laugh every time I watch it
I was 8 when this came out and I think my grandparents took me to see it (god bless them for sitting through this with me). I remember being super excited to see the movie and enjoyed the movie while watching it but later after I came home the natural high wore off and I was like “hey, wait a minute…”. I think I was accepting initially that things would be different because of the TMNT movie compared to the cartoon show (I know now it was using the original comics more so as inspiration).
Never apologise for having a Cat in the video
Ryan needs to become even more meta and make blooper reels of him laughing and goofing off with a production team (also Ryan).
He should definitely invite Pollux from Accounting to read lines with him
fake blooper reels are tight
that would be hilarious
@@martincho20 yeah yeah yeah
I appreciate these, never apologize for the cat...in fact, more cat, bring them on in your next cat podcast
RUclips people who apologize for their pet cameos are weird. "Oh no, that cute animal I live with that the Internet loves is here! I'm sooooo sorry."
He's Canadian. Apologizing is written in his genetic code 😉
People don’t realize
Your cat hugging you is THE CUTEST!!!!!!!
That's an amazing cat, thanks for keeping the part with him in the video.
Ryan: "I'm going to draw...a mushroom."
This can go very poorly very quickly
Narrator: "And so... it did."
This aged pretty well unfortunately
Phallic mushrooms are TIGHT!!
@@LuisSierra42 "I'm a broccolo and I resemble a tree!😀"
"I'm a walnut and I resemble a brain!😀"
"I'm a mushroom and I hate this game.😑💢"
@@Nicamon I don't think I've ever seen the singular form of "broccoli" before, and I'm uncomfortable
I remember seeing the trailer to this movie on TV and being excited, I was 7, I had to wait until my Dad rented it. I watched it alot for some reason, maybe not being old enough to understand that movie can be terrible. 10 years later it's released on DVD. I bought it, watched it end fell asleep halfway, never watched it again, but I do like the movie cover, it's just nostalgic for me.
I LOVE the computers in the background! It's a great detail! Thank you for posting these!
Ryan, I really appreciate the level of detail for making the background era-appropriate. A lot of creators don't do the little things like that, I think it goes a long way to just enhancing the overall quality of the sketch
"It's the 90s!"
"You don't have to specify what decade it is, Sir."
Same. I love looking around the background for those decade appropriate things.
I didn't even notice until I saw this comment! That IS a good attention to detail
I remember the first time I noticed that happened. I rewatched a few to check. It is really cool
The mush room/acid trip bit always gets a solid laugh from me
Bro I have an Australian friend and you doing the "R" thing is SO PERFECT lol.
I don't even understand how they get the R sound into some of those words!
I love all your videos where you're just talkin to us normally as the creator after the pitch meetings
I went and saw it as a kid in theaters and I remember other kids walking out of the theater with me afterwards with looks on their faces like someone had just told them they were all adopted AND their dogs were diagnosed with something terminal and have to be put down.
That still sounds more enjoyable than the movie.
As an Australian, that Love Island impression is absolutely spot on 👌
I really appreciated the etymological button on the Manhattan joke. Glad it wasn’t cut.
Loved the Manhattan joke in its entirety. I love learning fun facts in the midst of comedy. Please please don't cut that short of thing in the future. Huge fan, seen every pitch at least 10 times. Ask my wife, lol......
I agree, I didn't know about that either. We're not all American, Also, I feel that cutting it off it would have been a bit disrespectful towards Native Americans.
That cat is so precious!!
Also my favorite thing about this pitch meeting is how Screenwriter guy keeps saying "I don't, I don't care"😂
Screenwriter guy was really ahead of the times...
9:11 no no no.. *I* literally LOLed at this joke. For me it wasn't excess fat it was flavoured juice.
My friends and I saw this in the theater when I was 13. I can’t even begin to describe how I felt while watching it. It was crazy
I remember 8 year old me picking this abortion for our weekly Blockbuster trip. As my family sat in silence while the credits rolled, the awkward pause was broken by my 6 year old sister uttering “what… the… FUCK…”. My parents weren’t even mad at her, they agreed with her statement.
the utter disbelief conveyed in the executive’s delivery of ‘dino-hattan?’ is fucking hilarious
I was 11 back then and we were so far removed from source material faithful adaptations that we were happy just to have the characters names mentioned. It was rough but that's pretty much what everyone I knew who saw this was expecting. So all in all, I didn't know anyone who didn't like it except my poor father who had to go see it with us.
I was 14 and I also remember liking this movie when it was released.
Things were very different back then.
And a Bob-omb being nearly identical was also pretty much all we needed lol .. except that absurdly long fuse!!! 🤣 🤣 🤣
Same! I was also around 11 years old and I remember being *pumped* for this movie and wanting the action figures so bad. Damn near 40 now and I still want them and get major nostalgia feels whenever I see them
I was about the same age and remember feeling the same way. Back then there wasn't much deep Mario lore. He didn't even have that "It's a me Mario" personality yet. Most people our age probably would think of the Super Mario Bros. cartoon show.
I never thought listening to Ryan talk about his cat's cuteness quota would be super entertaining, yet here we are and mysteriously I want more...
Ryan! I loved “For some reason I’m convinced”! I love that that joke wasn’t cut!
The way he transforms into Producer Guy at 11:36 was a bit scary 😂
Just imagine Spring/Summer as a young teen (around 8th-9th grade) in '94 in the height of the Gen 4 console era, right BEFORE PS1 and watching this mess on bootleg VHS. Confusion and disappointment describes this perfectly.
Decades later, my children asked me, "dad, was this movie really that bad???"
All I can say, is that when your child looks at you square in the eye asks you, "Dude, wtf?!?!?" is a profound moment as a parent...
This brings up the memory of me as a young teen trying to watch gory action movies with my parents and renting a Spanish gore movie called "Mucha Sangre" (much blood) back when renting was a thing. I was giddy with excitement.
The movie was about alien penises trying to suck people off or something. It was pure badly-acted trash and I can still feel the awkwardness of staring at the screen next to my silent parents hoping it'll get good at some point.
The only thing that relates this anecdote to the Mario movie is the level of awkwardness but that just came bubbling up like a bad dream. :D
Ryan.... when this, and Street Fighter for that matter(((fyi at the time of SF release nobody back then really seen it for the cult comedy that it was made to be... we just wanted to see Street Fighter on the big screen)))was released we were *horrified......* but then things were made right again by the release of Mortal Kombat......
The difference is that Street Fighter was a little bit more coherent than Super Mario and also (other than Blanka, Ryu and Ken) It captured the essence of the video game just right. Same goes for Mortal Kombat. MK2 Annihilation on the other hand was utter shit on screen.
As someone who was a HUGE Street Fighter fan growing up and once went something like 30-0 against other people on a Street Fighter 2 Turbo cabinet. The Street Fighter movie was honestly great and yeah a few characters changed a bit too much but it's still a fun movie for what it is. There are some freaking amazing animated Street Fighter movies out there now too and they leave Ryu unchanged.
@@fodicky4 good lord MK Annihilation...... I can't remember exactly if it was that movie or Aliens 4 that I left the theater w/a goddamn migraine but HELL YEAH mk2 was nxt lvl trash
No lie I honestly still like Mortal Kombat to this day. The new movie was really fucking good and I'm excited for more but I feel they did great with what they were able to make at the time. I do wish Reptile got more screen time though.
What was wrong with street fighter. I find that movie very accurate. Heck they even made a video game, based on the movie that was based on a game. Mind blown 🤯
I wonder why nobody has pointed this out but, I've watched this Pitch Meeting many times and I always notice this little error. Mario's characteristic Italian accent wasn't a thing in the early 90's. We knew he was Italian, but it was a very obscure piece of trivia back in then. Mario didn't introduce himself in his video games until 1996 with Super Mario 64, that's when his iconic Italian accent was cemented, and that's where the "It's a me!, Mario!" came from. That was at least 3 years after this movie came out. So yeah, there's no reason for the Executive guy to ask about his Italian accent, Mario wasn't known for that back then.
