20 Things You Somehow Missed In Super Mario Bros: The Movie

20. Bob Hoskins & John Leguizamo Were Drunk During Many Scenes

In 2007, John Leguizamo published his fascinating autobiography Pimps, Hos, Playa Hatas, and All the Rest of My Hollywood Friends: My Life, which went into extensive detail about the movie's infamously hellish production.

Perhaps the single-most eye-opening revelation from Leguizamo is that he and Hoskins not only hated making the film, but turned to getting drunk during production to make their time on the shoot more bearable.

The duo would neck shots of whiskey between takes, presumably without the knowledge of filmmakers Rocky Morton and Annabel Jankel, who the pair haven't had many kind words for over the years.

And so, the next time you watch Super Mario Bros. - if you do - there's a solid chance you're watching two legendary actors who are three sheets to the wind in just about every single scene.
