10 Inventors Who Hated Their Own Creations

OK, it may be a stretch to say everyone who worked on this movie hated it. I mean, the costumes and set designs are ok, I guess. And to be fair the main cast does an admirable job at making the video game adaptation about a jump-man who crushes turtles, steals gold and smashes his head on bricks in an attempt to save a princess from a bumbling turtle/dinosaur monster who thinks having a bridge kill-switch behind him is a good idea, but the premise just was not fit to be made into film.

Production on the film was hell, Bob Hoskins and Jon Leguizamo were reportedly drunk most of the time, and a supposed Metroid movie was cancelled due to Nintendo's skittishness in making a film of another one of their properties.

Really the cast's feelings about the film can best be summed up by amyl nitrite enthusiast and star of SMB Dennis Hopper: “I made a picture called Super Mario Bros, and my six-year-old son at the time — he's now 18 — he said, 'Dad, I think you're probably a pretty good actor, but why did you play that terrible guy King Koopa in Super Mario Bros.?' and I said, 'Well Henry, I did that so you could have shoes,' and he said, 'Dad, I don't need shoes that badly.'
