With classic comedies like Caddyshack, Groundhog Day and Analyze This, Harold Ramis has an impressive film director resume — which was yono all app almost tarnished by that disastrous Super Mario Bros. flick. “(Producer) Roland Joffe wanted me to direct the Super Mario Bros. movie,” says Ramis. “I took the meeting because yono all app I loved the game… I’m glad I said no.”(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Others who escaped the w69 slot Super Mario Bros. cinematic train wreck include Danny DeVito, who turned down the role of Mario, 
and Kevin Costner, who passed on playing King Koopa. Bob Hoskins accepted the role of Mario and later called the experience “a fucking nightmare”. Dennis Hopper ultimately took the role of Koopa, recently saying that he did the picture so his son could have shoes. Nobody needs shoes 
that bad. http://kotaku.com/286031/bob-hoskins-the-worst-thing-i-ever-did-super-mario-brothers Ramis glad he passed on `Super Mario Bros.’ film [AP via Game|Life]
