There are hundreds of lazy low-budget cyberpunk movies that flooded the (direct-to-video) market in the 80s and 90s. Stuff like Crime Zone, Nemesis, or Omega Doom. So what cyberpunk movies can you admit are objectively bad yet still hold a place in your heart?
Super Mario Bros. I like the movie, but I can definitely see why people don’t.
I highly recommend you check out the extended cut if you haven’t seen it already. If nothing else, it’s worth it just for the Iggy & Spike rap.
Hold up, there’s an extended cut, and there’s a Iggy & Spike rap and I’m just finding out about this now? Thank you kind stranger.
Happy to help! It’s on https://archive.org if you’re interested in checking it out. Go search their movie database for “Super Mario Bros: The Morton Jankel Cut”.
Oh man, finally got around to watching it thanks to your recommendation and I was thoroughly entertained. Had a big dumb grin on my face through most of it. Thanks for that!
I just hate the fact that Super Mario Bros. is, indeed, cyberpunk. It’s just so freaking bizarre. lol
It’s also one of the only moderately successful movies about a plumber.
But Cyberpunk?
They mean specifically the 1993 movie
Right, I figured as much, guess I better rewatch it
King Koopa runs a corporate dystopia in a seemingly slightly futuristic world that is the Mushroom Kingdom. We even see the use of cybernetics in the form of Kuribo’s Shoes, depicted as giant robotic boots.
