Who's the distributor on this? I'd bite if it's region-free.
If it's the same disc as inside the 2014 U.K. Amaray release
- and no reports heard that it isn't - then it's REGION "B" LOCKED.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Special features from the disc in the previous Amaray release should all be present and surprised to see "THIS AIN'T NO VIDEO GAME (1hr doc.) not mentioned in the listing for the steelbook :-

Some the best quotes from the stars involved in the project (RIP two of them):-
"Bob Hoskins - "The worst thing I ever did? Super Mario Brothers. It was a f****** nightmare. The whole experience was a nightmare. It had a husband-and-wife team directing, whose arrogance had been mistaken for talent. After so many weeks their own agent told them to get off the set! F****** nightmare. F****** idiots."
John Leguizamo - (i) "It's eight-year-olds who play the game and that's where the movie needed to be aimed. But [the directors] kept trying to insert new material. They shot scenes with strippers and with other sexually-explicit content, which all got edited out anyway."
(ii) "The shoot seemed to take forever. But at least there was Samantha [referring to Samantha Mathis, the actress who plays the romantic interest in the film whom John Leguizamo was dating off the set]. And Bob [Bob Hoskins, who played Mario]. And Bob's scotch."
(iii) "Oh man that movie sucks. And I suck in it."
Dennis Hopper - "It was a nightmare, very honestly, that movie. It was a husband-and-wife directing team who were both control freaks and wouldn't talk before they made decisions. Anyway, I was supposed to go down there for five weeks, and I was there for 17."

. . . and finally a few errors on the wraparound Amaray data sheet that I'm expecting to be corrected for the steelbook j-card:
- "Audio: DTD-HD"
- "1983"
- "SUPER MARIOS BROS"
Come on Zavvi, bring it! If so, I'll believe in you once again! 
....suck it up h8ters
