Assemble all of the fantastic moments in movie history and you'll probably wind up with a list that includes such scenes as the Stay-Puft Marshmallow Man stomping his way through New York, Doc Brown hanging from the Hill Valley Clock Tower as lightning strikes, Indiana Jones not looking as the Ark of the Covenant is opened, and The Joker robbing a mob-controlled bank in Gotham City. What won't you find on that list? This moment from the 1993 film adaptation of Nintendo's popular Super Mario Bros. video game.
Granted that I haven't seen this movie in about fifteen years, but who was that woman with the meteorite fragment? I don't remember her. At all. In any capacity. Whatsoever. Normally that would be a sign that it's time to rewatch the film, but short of a DVD commentary that explains/apologizes for the production, I just don't see that happening. Or maybe a Blu-ray release. I'll watch just about anything if it's in high definition.
