...no duh.
But it's funny how he talks about it. Here's what he had to say about it:

Bob Hoskins: "The Worst Thing I Ever Did? Super Mario Brothers."
U.K. website Guardian Unlimited has posted an interview with uber talent Bob Hoskins. Amid an interview discussing his career, the pitfalls of getting too into your character and copious f-bombs, Hoskins talks (albiet briefly) about his horrific experience making the Super Mario Brothers movie. so horrific in fact, that he lists it as the worst thing he's ever done. (I wonder if John Leguizamo can say the same?) He accepts there have been flops, and films he's detested, but that's the nature of the game.
"The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Brothers. It was a f****' nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! F*****' nightmare. F*****' idiots."
Something tells me method acting didn't enter into his performance on that one. Although, the thought of Bob Hoskins jumping on heads and eating mushrooms on his days off is an amusing one.
Has anyone ever wondered how these amatuer filmmakers even get jobs or movie deals? And it still goes on today, with Paul WS Anderson, Uwe Boll, and probably others who are trying to get in on the game.
Horrible. No wonder video game movies almost always stink it hard at the box-office.
And just for fun, here's a funny review from a movie critic on the Dead or Alive Movie:
"The action has more to do with digital effects than true martial artistry, and is targeted squarely at adolescent boys too young to rent porn and gamers too lazy to yank their own joysticks." --Critic Ken Fox, TVguide.com (EGM issue 219, pp. 24)
Poor girls...they'd do anything to get their 15 minutes of movie fame...and I mean, ANYTHING.
