There's nothing "holy" on the internet, which means you can make a parody about everything, including one of the best movies made by Hollywood in recent years. The autoevolution team unanimously loved the non-stop action of Mad Max: Fury Road, so we were reluctant to share this Mario Kart parody at first.
However, it's a pretty sweet idea because it makes "Welcome to Mario Kart!" sound terrifying. Video games sometimes get turned into films, as was the case with Lara Croft: Tomb Rider, Prince of Persia The Sands of Time, Need for Speed, Hitman and Mortal Kombat. So why not offer a realistic take on the Mario gaming universe?
You have to admit, there is a lot of potential for realism. Mario is a working class hero who relentlessly and selflessly tries to save princess Peach, the archetypal damsel in distress. For a villain, I don't think you can get much better than Bowser. He is a gigantic turtle with spikes, horns, huge teeth, red hair and a club. You don't want to mess with him!
That being said, director George Miller probably won't like his work being treated in such a manner. His team spent way too many months filming in the middle of the desert.
A total of about 100 vehicles were involved in the filming of the movie, most of them custom-built. So for the footage to be used to make a Mario Kart is like serving your dog gold-plated truffles with a side of caviar.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
