Do you consider Super Mario Bros (1993) to be cyberpunk?

This was mentioned in our discussion of bad cyberpunk movies but I wanted to bring it to a wider audience. Do you consider the 1993 Super Mario Bros movie to be cyberpunk?

I’d say the movie definitely takes place in a cyberpunk city, but are there any cyberpunk themes present?

Here’s a trailer. I don’t think it’s streaming anywhere, but if you watch it I recommend watching with the RiffTrax commentary (Mystery Science Theater 3000 guys) to make it more enjoyable.

So, maybe it’s obvious, that makes tank girl cyberpunk as well?

Godort,

Yes, Tank Girl is absolutely cyberpunk.

Its dystopian, the bad guy is a profit-motivated corporation, and the heroes belong to an alt-subculture

boredtortoise,

It is and I really hope we get to see the intended cut some day
