This was mentioned in our discussion of bad cyberpunk movies but I wanted to bring it to a wider audience. Do you consider the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie to be cyberpunk?
I’d say the movie definitely takes place in a cyberpunk city, but are there any cyberpunk themes present?
Here’s a trailer. I don’t think it’s streaming anywhere, but if you watch it I recommend watching with the RiffTrax commentary (Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys) to make it more enjoyable.
What intended cut? Are you referring to the Morton Jankel cut? It’s still available on the Internet Archive.
Yeah. Didn’t know the fan cut was out, but I meant a version where Morton & Jankel would actually oversee or sign off, and not in VHS quality.
Read some good article somewhere where they reminisce how the process went and I might remember wrong but it felt that they’d like a chance to show their vision. Nintendo would never approve tho.
But now it seems I should check out that fan version some day.
