#Crazy toad mario movie
RH: (laughing) Yeah! I mean, he basically helped the Mario Brothers and took them-it was Toad, and the other two-the Koopa Cousins-and you all basically went with the Mario Brothers through the whole rest of the movie and helped them pretty much through the whole thing. RH: Yeah! Well, in the early draft of that script, your character-Toad-actually had a much larger role in the movie… …Which is fine, you know-I got paid, so Mojo was happy. You know, I was only supposed to work like four days, but they were so (laughs) they were so unorganized-I was there for a month! This was after, I think-or during the production at some point he told me. RH: Yeah, the script originally was more of a fantasy-based type of script, and then they completely reworked it into the kind of Blade Runner kind of thing it ended up being. And uh, but you know there was a lot of pressure-probably from the studio-to…you know, he had this kind of magical, dreamy idea that the studio wanted to tie into the video game. That’s not exactly-the vision he had was almost like The Wizard of Oz or something. He had this crazy…y’know, I went to a party at his house and he told me this whole thing-this-he had this crazy vision for the whole thing. MN: Y’know, and the whole thing…uh, who was the guy that was the producer-Roland? And Rocky probably wished they would’ve fired him, but you know-they weren’t going to. MN: And I don’t know where she was, I can’t remember her name just this second, but yeah, he was sitting there, and he looked like-and they had just also, either the day before or the next day, they were gonna fire the director of photography. They take me out to the set and they had shot some complicated thing the night before, with the crazy cars-and Rocky, the director, is sitting at a picnic table with his head in his hands, and I’m not sure if he’s crying-but he definitely looks like his dog has been run over. Well I got there, at North Carolina-Wilmington. Also, be warned that a couple parts of this interview contain explicit language. I wasn't able to record the first part of our conversation, so what follows is what I was able to get.
I gotta say, it was quite a surreal experience getting to talk to him after being such a fan for so long. Since he's the first person I've interviewed that was a cast member, I was able to ask him some things that haven't been covered yet. One of the first things he wanted to know was "why is there a website for this movie? Couldn't you have just picked Star Wars or something?" All joking aside, Mojo provided us with one hell of an interview-informative, thoughtful, and hilarious, all rolled into one. Thanks to staff member Steven Applebaum (Redstar), I was able to get in touch with Mojo Nixon, who played Toad in Super Mario Bros.
