We always thought the Leguizamo-infused Super Mario Bros. film had the propensity to be amazing, if only a more visionary director had grasped the reins of the adaptation. The video we've posted after the jump gives a look into a parallel universe of what could have been -- a universe where Quentin Tarantino had control of the plumber's first silver screen excursion.
The video was produced by the folks over at GamerVision. You might want to brush up on the trailer for Tarantino's upcoming film Inglourious Basterds before you check it out -- their video is a shot-by-shot remake of said trailer, only it takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom instead of Nazi Germany. We never thought about it before watching the video, but the similarities between these two regions are actually rather striking.

You gotta wonder why movies like this aren't made while the monstrosity that was the Super Mario Bros. Movie was.

It was ok at best.
You want gritty Mushroom Kingdom action? Watch There Will Be Brawl. Find it on The Escapist.

I would dispute "finally." There was an old Atack of the Show sketch called "The Marios." It was ostensibly a Sopranos parody, but the actual content of the sketch was ripped from Pulp Fiction.
