The Super Mario Brothers movie, based somewhat loosely upon the Nintendo flagship series of video games, has staged a bit of resurgence thanks to a feature in nationwide Best Buy flyers.

In March of 2011, Best Buy ran their usual weekend ad and featured newly released movies, and their normal handful of “oldies”. Lumped in with “Fame” and one of the Resident Evil flicks in the “Hot This Week” section was the Super Mario Brothers movie for a bargain basement retro price of $4.99.

The 1993 release was a flop on just about all scenes, but somehow managed to garner a fan base large enough to justify a website that is still current and updated regularly. The site features interviews with the actors, trivia, and more Super Mario Brothers related goodness.
