Awesome video! I think the "video game movies are bad" curse ended with Wreck It Ralph. While Wreck it Ralph wasn't necessarily based on a video game, it showed filmmakers how to genuinely respect video games as a source material, while being very successful.
I think it ended with the first Silent Hill movie. That movie gets some hate, but it REALLY is a fantastic horror movie that stands on its own, even if you have nl idea about the video game. Hell, while i was in the hosptial after a surgery i met a nurse who said it was literally her favorite horror movie ever! I asked her if she was a big fan of the game "like myself, alomg with resident evil" she knew about RE as the movies, but had no idea either were video games! Which was incredibly weird to me lol.. also even funnier, she looked a LOT like Rebecca from the first Resident Evil live action cast they used for the game. I told her about that, and how absolutely amazing the games are and begged her to give em a chance if possible. She sounded really excited, i still hope to this day i helped create a survival horror gamer girl LOL... i know it sounds like total BS but i swear its true. Though the part that still floors me is loving a video game movie and having no idea about the game its made from. But i guess it happens. I also introduced her cauciously to Jacobs Ladder.. i hope it didnt screw her up TOO badly..if she watched it lol... i really hope she is doing well...
oh wow, You can see the love and effort gone into research and production 🙂 Great job Luke, I'm still learning stuff about this movie! A winner is you!
Signing those 2 as the directors and writers was so wrong. Bob Hoskins said they were a nightmare to deal with and most of the crew agreed. Great video Luke, I’m looking forward to the future of this channel!
The worst part was how the male director threw hot coffee on one of the extras to make him look "dirter" go watch the video game historians video on this movie if you havent. Some of the stories he goes into is WILD man. I felt sorry for Bob Hoskins. He was such a fantastic actor, and he really felt like he wasted his time on the movie. Which he didnt imho.. but it wasnt no Roger Rabbit, of course.
I think that the producers should have just continued the director search, rather than just settling with Morton and Jenkel. There’s a saying “If 12 people tell you’re drunk, lie down”. Well if, the entire cast, minus two directors with barely any credits to their name, thought that script was great, then there’s a problem here.
They should have chosen Stephen Spielberg or George Lucas to be the directors of the film and Disney to distribute the film and kept the old fantasy script but reveal the hag to be peach, change the razorfish to be cheep cheeps and bloopers and change Hildy's name to Daisy and have the brothers reside in the mushroom kingdom at the end with their newly acquired lovers.
Ruddy brilliant in-deph look into a HUGE "what if?" in movie history. Also, it's brilliantly produced and tickd along at an engaging pace. Can't wait for the next three videos and hopefully more in the future.
It's a great start to the new channel, Luke. Smart, funny people talking about things they love - my favourite thing in the world. Love the design and the music choices and the classic Rosie Easter Eggs. I am looking forward to seeing what comes next...
This was fantastic, Luke! I know you're looking for critique since this is the first episode, so one thing I might add in future episodes is a second voiceover for reading out creator quotes, as one voice talking at that speed for 26 minutes did get a little boring, and if I'm being honest, I finished the video in two sittings because of it (and would have regardless of who did the voiceover). I know Rosie worked on the production, her voiceover would lend great contrast to your own.
@@cutsceneYT The script I agree with, it's 98% of the video, but the odd quote you include is not written by you, and thus you give yourself the option of a second voice, for variety if nothing else, in the same way Mastodon switch up vocalists for when a section needs something different. I'll more than likely get used to this speed of talking, but it's an idea one could flirt with for an episode to see what people think, or release early on the community tab in snippets for feedback. I'm thinking back to your NRB video essays where you had Oli and the gang read out comments.
@@user-vi4xy1jw7e No, I gave my reason in the original comment. If the voiceover isn't completely captivating, and you have zero pauses throughout the video for variety, it can get monotonous. There's a very good reason nature documentaries leave big pauses in-between snippets of commentary, and why crime documentaries (that could easily just have every interviewee's comments read out by the voiceover guy) include so many different voices in the re-telling of their story. Imagine a film did a 26 minute monologue, who the hell could pull something like that off, regardless of subject matter and without pauses, without the audience getting just a little bored by the end of it? Absolutely no one.
My fan made post credit scene: Meanwhile, at Koopa’s castle, the camera moves slowly towards the lava Koopa fell into. After a few seconds, Koopa’s hand slowly emerges from the lava. The screen cuts to black.
That is a fascinating look at the movie we had in 1993. I had no idea of the Fantasy script till now. After having just watched it along with friends for the podcast "How Did This Get Made?" in celebration of the new Mario movie, your research is a great companion piece after wallowing on the mediocrity of sub-par art with friends. Awesome work Luke!
Honestly while the original fantasy draft was more in line with the games, one thing about it that REALLY rubbed me the wrong way about it, was how much of an unlikable douchebag Mario was in this original draft.
never been a huge fan of films but man do i love listening to Luke and now i’m finding myself very intrigued with a movie i never heard about. Love the channel mate, looking forward to more!
It strikes me as odd how many times Hollywood made such similar mistakes adapting brightly-colored, kid-friendly properties to film around that same mid-'80s to mid-'90s timeframe. The Super Mario Bros movie was a weird, self-serious, dark-blue attempt that kept certain superficial elements of the source material while completely jettisoning everything that made it fun or popular in the first place, and moved the action from a colorful fantasy world to a depressing and poorly-lit urban setting -- just like the Masters of the Universe movie, which is often cited as killing that product line altogether. I can't think of a similar "let's make it edgy, but not too edgy, also can we film it at night in an unconverted warehouse no more than a half-hour's drive from my house" live-action adaptation from around that time that *did* end up working. At some point you'd think producers would have picked up on that.
Excellent work Luke. While wrestling is a love of yours I can tell your PASSION is movies and video games. The way your tone in production of these videos is way brighter than any wrestling video I've seen you do, and that is INCLUDING the brilliant stories we've had lately
04:55 this isn't entirely surprising. The words of Koji Kondo illustrate this the best. While helping the new Mario composer, Mahito Yokota, during Super Mario Galaxy's development, upon hearing Yokota's preliminary compositions, roughly told him, "If somewhere in your mind, Mario is cute, get rid of it. Mario is cool." That's always how Nintendo has seen Mario, so wanting the movie to have an edge to it actually falls in line with how they have always portrayed him. This channel is amazing so far Luke, please keep this going! I find it endlessly fascinating!
The thing about that first draft: even in that version, they got the Princess wrong. The Princess is supposed to be, you know, a princess. Not the girl next door who turned out to be a princess all along but never knew it. She is supposed to be an important figure in her country's ruling class, and a universally desired beauty. This is why the videogame can have the stakes it has without really going into detail about the princess. She's a princess: that's all the stakes you need for that basic setup. She is important. She is desired. And if an ordinary plumber, a blue-collar man with a very dirty job, can rescue this princess, that will make him a great man. Now, other than that misstep, which could and should have been corrected in a later draft, this script at least WAS Mario Bros. Not necessarily what I would have done; I would have had all the characters be from the Mushroom Kingdom in the first place, rather than anyone being transported there from our world. But still, this script legitimately was a version of the games. And that aspect is refreshing. There are some very good things in it, too, like the way Koopa hated his father "Because he was weak." Or the way Mario beats Koopa by outsmarting him. This was a solid draft that should have been polished into a finished draft. And as soon as the second pair of guys came on and gave their pitch, that strangled to death the spirit of the video games, they should have been kicked right out. I've got my own Mario Bros. movie kicking around inside my head. It's a movie that starts with the first video game and works backwards, so that if the video game had been inspired by the movie, that movie would have been something like this. It's a shame you didn't make more of this movie's climax. It was cleverly done. I like how they set it up by having Luigi tell the story of the genie and the fisherman to a group of kids. I like the way that Mario tricks Koopa into thinking that he knows what Mario is up to. Again, clever. Koopa thinks Mario is challenging him to get bigger and bigger so that the bridge won't support Koopa's weight anymore. So Koopa just flies up into the air, which the crown allows him to do. But then it turns out Mario was actually getting Koopa to make himself bigger and bigger so that the crown wouldn't fit on his head anymore. And when Koopa flies up into the air, the crown falls off, and Koopa loses all his powers and falls into the lava. I like that part a lot. By the way, i wrote a song about screenwriter Barry Morrow. "The sun'll come out Barry Morrow. Bet your bottom dollar Barry Morrow there'll be sun. Barry Morrow! Barry Morrow! I love you, Barry Morrow! You wrote Rain Man... yes you did!"
I rarely comment on any wrestletalk, PFK and NRB videos. However, I really wanted to give this some extra love. Brilliant video, hope the channel becomes a massive success and thank you for being my source of entertainment for years at this point!
This video was crazy good. Put it on at night just as something to half watch as I fall asleep and ended up fully engrossed. 0/10 for sleepytime video. 10/10 for engaging and interesting presentation
Just learned about the new channel, and man, how cool it is to hear Luke talking about something outside wrestling, not that I don't like Luke talking about wrestling, but I think it's interesting to meet other interests of the RUclipsrs I watch
Never bothered looking into Mom and Dad Save the World before, but honestly that little mushroom scene, I could see something like that working. It might have been cheesy, but it would have worked with respect to the games at the time. One thing I cannot get over is Mario being so grouchy and them refusing to use the name "Peach" for the princess (it was always Peach in the Japanese version). But a surreal wizard of oz/Alice in Wonderland movie with two funny bumbling brothers and mushrooms everywhere would have been perfectly respectable. It is surreal that it started out that way and somehow devolved into what we got.
I've seen this movie a lot growing up, and although I acknowledge the inaccuracy of the adaptation, it's still so weirdly fun. Rest in peace, Bob Hoskins.
Really well done! A Topic with lots of material and so many participants in the troubled history of "SMBTM" (1993). Love the Clever Chapter Titles (Ch.2 'Stay Tuned') and this is a welcome video companion to the "Best Movies Never Made" Podcast. Looking forward to the nest episode. especially if we are talking "Street Fighter" (1994). "Quick, change the channel!"
Great video, Luke! Side note: I’ve long been a Super Mario Bros ‘93 apologist (honestly, I’ve always LOVED it) and am convinced time will be on my side with it getting reappraised in the future. Sure it’s only been 31 years so far 😅there’s still time!
Look at this guy. Two wrestling news channels, one of which is a podcast, a few series on PFK, cinestars and now this. Luke you are who I hope to be when I grow up, keep up the hustle.
3:57 has to be a call back to Luke singing the OC theme song every time The OC were referenced during his Raw reviews, and I cannot be convinced otherwise.
Love the concept of this channel! Can't wait to see the next one! The SF movie IS bad for many reasons but admittedly, it's got some stand out moments. Zangief shouting, "QUICK! Change the channel!" while the baddies watch their location destroyed on live TV always makes me laugh but now I can't wait to hear what went wrong or what could have been
I have and enjoyed Luke's book "Game Over" that talked about this and a bunch of the other failed video game movies. Great stuff from one of the great and funny Wrestletalk gang. Love it, Luke, you're all awesome.
The Super Mario Bros 1993 movie is the Greatest Royal Rumble of video game movies. It's bad and it should never have existed. The Super Mario Brothers Super Show, on the other hand, was stellar.
Amazing job Luke! I had no idea this story goes so deep. I never knew about these other drafts! Very cool, but also kind of disheartening to learn about lol! Congrats on this channel dude! I look forward to street fighter!
You know. The 90s Super Mario bros movie was bad in MANY ways, but i still absolutely love the movie. And i especially love it for just how incredibly disconnected it it was/is from the actual I.P. because of that, i "and MANY other people" are able to come up with incredibly off the wall ideas of what other franchises would look like if done in the same way. Just look at all the A.I "80s Dark Fantasy" videos. This movie while a flop, and a nightmare to make, was such a blessing in MANY other ways! And not a ton of people see or think about it like that. Sadly
Being honest, from birth in 1988, playing NES Mario up until Mario64 late nights with my dad, with this difficulty, I always guessed that the difficulty of a game had to concise and or equal that of Mario or Donkey Kong.
Just saw Super Mario Bros last night. It was fantastic, best animated movie I’ve seen in quite a while. Lovingly, they still called back that the Mario Bros are still from Brooklyn, there’s still interdimensional pipes, but the music was sublime, the voice work actually was outstanding. Chris Pratt actually did a great job
I'd love to get the Drain Man script to read, while Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel would've been better suited for making a Metroid, Battle Clash, or even and Advance Wars film if we're talking Nintendo game film adaptations
1:23 Why are you comparing the current _animated_ Mario Bros movie with _live-action_ movies which are entirely different?? You do realize that there's tons of animated media of video games already and most are good??
Good job as always Luke, his video work is perfection always has and always will, I myself love playing Super Mario games, on of my favorites was Yoshi’s Island for the Super Nintendo, as for the movie I wish Luigi didn’t have to be kidnapped but the movie trailer did look good.

Except Wreck-it Ralph wasn’t a real game.

Movie commentaries are my favorite thing on RUclips and I have loved all the commentary you’ve done for both NRB and WT, so I’m loving this!
What a great first video! Great job by everyone involved. Looking forward to the next one.
Congrats on getting the channel up and running Luke! You deserve all the love and support in the world! Looking forward to everything you do!
Looking forward to watching this!

Great work Luke and whomever else worked on this great project can’t wait for more
Look at this guy. Two wrestling news channels, one of which is a podcast, a few series on PFK, cinestars and now this. Luke you are who I hope to be when I grow up, keep up the hustle.
Have a strong feeling I'm going to love this channel! Great stuff Luke!
This was a neat video, I never actually knew a lot of this, thanks for making this video!!!
Great video!
Super in depth and well researched, and good editing as well.
Can't wait for more
Kudos on this great start to the channel, Luke! Can't wait for the Street Fighter episode!
Incredibly in depth and thorough. Looking forward to the next!
3:57 has to be a call back to Luke singing the OC theme song every time The OC were referenced during his Raw reviews, and I cannot be convinced otherwise.
When Hollywood say "In the spirit of", what they really mean is, hardly anything like the source material at all.
Great job. Continue to promote this.. makes me proud to see this. I'm a huge fan

So excited for the possibilities of this channel!
Love you Luke, hopefully this channel takes off man
Loving the content, keep up the great work luke.

Great video luke. Very akin to the gaming historian. Can't wait to see what else you have planned.
Amazing job Luke! I had no idea this story goes so deep. I never knew about these other drafts! Very cool, but also kind of disheartening to learn about lol! Congrats on this channel dude! I look forward to street fighter!
So this is the video version of your book. Looking forward to the next episodes. 🙂
You know Jim Henson would have made a better live action Super Mario Bros movie.
This is great. Thank you Luke good luck with this!!!
Crazy how the secret to making a good video game movie is to respect the video game you're adapting.
You know. The 90s Super Mario bros movie was bad in MANY ways, but i still absolutely love the movie. And i especially love it for just how incredibly disconnected it it was/is from the actual I.P. because of that, i "and MANY other people" are able to come up with incredibly off the wall ideas of what other franchises would look like if done in the same way. Just look at all the A.I "80s Dark Fantasy" videos. This movie while a flop, and a nightmare to make, was such a blessing in MANY other ways! And not a ton of people see or think about it like that. Sadly
Being honest, from birth in 1988, playing NES Mario up until Mario64 late nights with my dad, with this difficulty, I always guessed that the difficulty of a game had to concise and or equal that of Mario or Donkey Kong.
Just saw Super Mario Bros last night. It was fantastic, best animated movie I’ve seen in quite a while. Lovingly, they still called back that the Mario Bros are still from Brooklyn, there’s still interdimensional pipes, but the music was sublime, the voice work actually was outstanding. Chris Pratt actually did a great job
Most of the theater applauded at the end where I watched it.
Let's go, Luke! Looking forward to more stuff from you! 🎉🎉
Super Mario Bros: The fellowship of the ring 💍
Now, this is a CutScene I won't be skipping!
Looking forward to more from you luke. Keep up the great work
Hey these are great videos! Keep it up!
Perfect name for this channel
Im totally here for Luke to talk about any film!
Luke, this was great! I hope in the upcoming Street Fighter video you'll talk about the anime version as well.
LUKE: It may get a few mentions.
I'd love to get the Drain Man script to read, while Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel would've been better suited for making a Metroid, Battle Clash, or even and Advance Wars film if we're talking Nintendo game film adaptations
1:23 Why are you comparing the current _animated_ Mario Bros movie with _live-action_ movies which are entirely different?? You do realize that there's tons of animated media of video games already and most are good??
Timing is perfect now. The new mainstream that grew up playing the games, plus their kids.
Great video Luke! And I need to know where you got the No Man's Sky poster, it looks great
soo the new super mario bros movie just crossed 1 billion dolleridoos at the box office after only 4 weeks....have you seen it yet luke ?
How does a video this good and well made have such a small view and like count?!?!
LUKE: Perhaps some sharing will help ;)
@@cutsceneYT will do lol
0:10 I wanted a sequel for it so bad
Amazing video, Luke! It's just hard to hear "Super MEHrio Bros" so many times :)
Can you imagine the lunacy of unironically saying, "This Mario movie is too juvenile."
I really like this! And I hope to see more in the future
Amazing job, Luke!!!
I smell a series looking at movies that never got made ❤❤
Excellent video can't wait for more
let's go Luke!
Good job as always Luke, his video work is perfection always has and always will, I myself love playing Super Mario games, on of my favorites was Yoshi’s Island for the Super Nintendo, as for the movie I wish Luigi didn’t have to be kidnapped but the movie trailer did look good.
I would love to live in a dimension were that first version of the movie just to see how it would have did
I'm allways get sad when i remember (Fantasy_Draft) it's so sad wey never made movie using this script.
Wtf? It's luke!!!!Luke!!!!! I'm subbing now
Super interesting!!! Would love to hear you cover the third Michael Keaton batman movie that never got made
I love this video because it’s clear there’s love for this move but it’s not trying to say it’s good. It’s trying to figure what went wrong.
