16. Super Mario Bros.

Terrible Video Game Movies
Buena Vista Pictures

Rating: RT: 16%

Super Mario Bros. is frequently cited as being the worst video game movie ever made, and while it hasn't quite reached the number one spot here, it's certainly up there on the scale of awfulness.

Mario and Luigi weren't played by Italian actors, and Bowser (King Koopa) was just an ordinary human played by Dennis Hopper. Total nonsense.
