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.

    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.
