The video game movie genre is notorious for its share of flops, with films like the 1993's *Super Mario Bros.* and 1997's *Mortal Kombat: Annihilation* standing out as particularly infamous examples. These movies not only failed to capture the essence of their source material but also became legendary for their sheer awfulness.
