Story Synopsis:
Super Mario Bros is an action packed wacky adventure staring Bob Hoskins and John Leguizamo as Mario and Luigi, two wild and crazy Italian plumbers who encounter the off-the-wall underworld of “Dinohattan,” a parallel-dimension sci-fi city of dinosaur related inhabitants. For Mario and Luigi, their ultimate mission is to save a princess of Dinohattan descent, but things get bizarre when they are faced with the lizard king (Dennis Hopper) and his giant reptilian goombas, whose ultimate sinister plan is to take over the world. Consequently, it is up to the Super Mario Bros. to undermine these creature thugs and save themselves, the princess, and the planet.
LaserDisc Picture:
The colorbook visuals in this film are a bit over-saturated in some scenes, but otherwise crisp and solid. The 1.82:1 matted picture is sharp and vibrant with slight pinkish fleshtone inconsistencies and grain.
LaserDisc Soundtrack:
The soundtrack was released in Dolby Stereo Digital®. The stereo is well defined with subtle, enveloping surround effects. Overall, the sound is overly bright and dialogue is strident.
