10 Movies That Turned Out Nothing Like You Were Expecting

10. Super Mario Bros

When Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel were hired to bring video game franchise Super Mario Bros to cinema in the early '90s, fans had no idea what to expect.

The end result, however, was something nobody could have predicted. Nintendo's twee world of mushrooms, turtle shells and bright colours became a Blade Runner-esque dystopia, and a Briton and a Latino were cast as our Italian-Americans leads.

Nothing about Super Mario Bros resembled the games, beyond the core concept of two plumbers rescuing a princess from the clutches of evil in a fantasy world.

One of its biggest deviations was casting the late Dennis Hopper as reptilian baddie King Koopa - who appears in human form for some reason - but it was the scene where Bob Hoskins's Mario plants his head between breasts of a rotund, leather-clad woman in a dino nightclub that killed every fan's childhood.

Even after a plateload of Super Mushrooms, this doesn't resemble Mario Bros.
