10 Actors Who Had To Get Drunk To Shoot Their Movies

2. Bob Hoskins & John Leguizamo - Super Mario Bros. (1993)

Gamers aren't alone in thinking that the 1993 movie adaptation of Super Mario Bros. is an abomination. Star Bob Hoskins has called it the worst movie he ever made. In an interview with The Guardian he gave the movie as the answer to three questions: "What was the worst job you've done?" "What has been your biggest disappointment?" and "If you could edit your past, what would you change?"

But it wasn't until co-star John Leguizamo's 2006 autobiography that we found out how much he hated it. Leguizamo claimed that he and Hoskins quickly realized the movie would turn out awful and would drink heavily during filming. In fact, Leguizamo accidentally broke one of Hoskins' fingers while they were wasted during a scene together. Frankly, having seen the movie, I doubt it would have made a difference if they'd done it sober.
