WARNING: We are [loony] Can you handle that?
In a recent interview with Guardian, legendary actor Bob Hoskins went on record about the highlights of his prestigious cinematic career. In one section of the quickfire Q&A, Hoskins talked about one of his greatest film achievements to date:
Q - "What is the worst job you've done?
Bob - Super Mario Brothers.
Q - What has been your biggest disappointment?
Bob - Super Mario Brothers.
Q - If you could edit your past, what would you change?
Bob - I wouldn't do Super Mario Brothers."
We're having trouble comprehending why Hoskins is so hostile towards Cinergi Pictures' 1993 blockbuster -- we think it set the bar for video game-to-movie adaptations. It just set that bar very, very low. Like, low enough for Street Fighter to hurdle over with grace and ease, which is saying something.

Soloist can only be experienced - for one's perception determines which of his attributes are displayed...
I think Mr. Hoskins should treat it as the guy who played Zap Rowsdower treats his unfortunate movie role, “I don’t have any regrets making the movie because I find, as an actor, anything you do is a learning experience.”
Harsh, but somewhat warranted. I really wanted to like that movie, but they screwed it around so off course, it barely held any semblance to the game at all, so not easily enjoyed. Good cast... baaaaaaaaaaad writing.
