1) Bob Hoskins – Super Mario Bros
Video game adaptations tend to suck. We all know this by now, even if the Resident Evil franchise is a guilty pleasure for some… (averts eye sheepishly). Back in the early 90’s though, the rising popularity of video games was a relatively new phenomenon, so Bob Hoskins and co. must have felt pretty hopeful about a movie adaptation of Mario, the world’s most recognizable gaming character at the time.
Oh if only they’d known. Hindsight is a beautiful thing, something which Hoskins demonstrates beautifully in an interview with The Guardian newspaper about his career so far.
Q. “What is the worst job you’ve done?”
A. “Super Mario Brothers.”
Q. “What has been your biggest disappointment?”
A. “Super Mario Brothers.”
Q. “If you could edit your past, what would you change?”
A. “I wouldn’t do Super Mario Brothers.”
There will never be a better interview about a more terrible film. Good on ya Hoskins!
