Super Mario Bros. (1993) @ Congress Sq Park

System Reboot Film Series

Starring Bob Hoskins as Mario, John Leguizamo as Luigi, and Dennis Hopper as King Koopa, the Goomba-pounding plumbers’ live-action debut has been called one of the grandest flops in Hollywood history and wildly ahead of its time. Come celebrate the 30th anniversary of this gritty, dystopic take on the Super Mario world.

“System Reboot,” a free summer film series presented with PMA Films and Friends of Congress Square Park, examines the cinematic source material of film franchises that have persisted or have been reinvented from the 1980s through 2023, when new installments await the masses. This screening is co-presented with Arcadia.
