Review - Super Mario Bros. (1993)

The story concerns the Mario Brothers, Mario (Bob Hoskins) and Luigi (John Leguizamo), two Italian American plumbers living in Brooklyn, New York who are being driven out of business by the mafia-like Scapelli Construction Company. Mario is the elder of the two, being close to the late 40s, and Luigi is about in his early-mid 20s. Luigi falls in love with an orphaned NYU student, Daisy (Samantha Mathis), who is digging under the Brooklyn Bridge for dinosaur bones. After a date, she takes Luigi to the dig and witnesses Scapelli's men (who, along with Scapelli himself, had previously threatened her to end her research on that specific piece of land for their own interests) sabotage it by leaving the water-pipes open. Luigi tries to stop it but he does not have his tools on him so he can not fix it. They rush back to his apartment where they inform Mario about the incident. The three go back to the flooding and the Mario Bros. manage to fix it but are knocked out by two strange characters, Iggy (Fisher Stevens) and Spike (Richard Edson). The two crooks kidnap Daisy.
