Super Mario Bros.

lol, that never even crossed my mind.

Definitely crossed my mind. I just kept waiting to hear "It's-a me, Mario!"

What is that move Mario has in Super Smash Brothers-I think it's called the fire punch? Anyway, on the poster they have here, and the scene when Mario hits Jo, it looks like his fire punch. Too bad Dennis Hopper didn't show up as a fire-breathing turtle at the end. But then, the ending of this movie could hardly be any better.

It occurred to me, for some reason, when they were rejoicing at being alive in the boulder-strewn valley. "It's Mario and Luigi, back together again," I thought. "Heyyy, wait a minute!" I was certain I couldn't have been the only person to have noticed this--you get the prize for bringing it up first, my friend. Wikipedia lists other sources Nintendo had for the inspiration behind the brothers' names (their landlord and a pizza parlor, respectively), but it would have been awesome if the folks at Nintendo were classic movie fans who opted to use the names, but switch them around for their chubby and lanky protagonists. Wages Of Fear is definitely action-packed enough.

In the scene where the truck blew up, I said aloud, in a Mario Kart Double Dash voice, "Ohh noo! I-a lost-a!"

I'm actually seeing this film now, and that thought was in my head.

also Luigi is Italian

Don't forget when Jo gets stuck in the slick he does resemble 'Metal Cap Mario' as well.

I thought the outfits went pretty well with the game too
