Never Before Seen Deleted Scene From Super Mario Bros. Movie

I know this may sound weird, but the Super Mario Bros. movie plays a major role in my movie watching life. In 1992, before the movie was released, I was given a VHS screener of the movie starring Bob Hoskins, John Leguizamo and Dennis Hopper, by a neighbor who happened to be one of the sound engineers for the movie. I was the coolest guy at school for awhile because all of my friends got to see the movie before it came out. Granted, it is not one of the greatest movies of all time but as a 13 year old kid it was one of the most awesome things that had happened to me up until that point.

It didn’t take long for me to figure out that the movie was not that great, but it always held a special place in my heart because of the street cred it gave me.

Now let’s talk about 2019 and a little website called Super Mario Bros. The Movie Archive and this little gem they found on eBay:

We're incredibly excited to announce just in time for the 26th anniversary the discovery of a VHS tape containing cut footage from Super Mario Bros. The tape surfaced in an eBay lot alongside materials owned by the film's primary producer Roland Joffé.

We will be digitizing the tape with the intention of restoring the footage for our forthcoming Region 1 Blu-Ray release. Stay tuned for updates!

They found this tape in May of this year and they have just released one of the deleted scenes videos on YouTube. Check it out!

I can’t wait to see what these boys do with the footage that they have found. Let us know what you think.
