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.

    I’d say it is

    • General dystopian vibe
    • Villain seeking absolute control
    • Technology as a mean of oppression
