Probably Mario's last name being Mario, and Luigi being Luigi Mario. That was odd, I didn't know they were brothers?

And Dennis Hopper as Bowser. Oh my god. Bowser as an obsessive clean freak?

And the whole thing being set in the futuristic world, with their steel boots and everything. And what was with Mario and the big black chick? Hah.

I saw my local Hot Topic selling the DVD.. not sure why. I guess it's a cult classic. [shrug]

Oh, and I forgot all about the fungus. That was weird too. And what about those creatures? Stick a human in there and it becomes one!

Do you really want to know? And if so, why?

I really liked it as well. Bought it on VHS and DVD.

It's really a piece of history. Years from now people will marvel at the video game age, when arcades could be found in hotels and Chinese restaurants, and this movie is a solid piece of that era. It’s no Birth of A Nation, but it does capture the times rather well.
