In the eighties there seemed to be this ongoing trend in kids movies. Instead of using product placement to brainwash youth, the big corporations would jus' make an entire movie about the product they wanted you to buy ( MAC AND ME, MY PET MONSTER, GARBAGE PAIL KIDS, etc. ) I'm talkin' whole plots and character development based around the use of McDonalds and Coca-Cola. The more I think about it, the more I realize how fucked it really was. Even though I loved this movie as a kid, at its core it's still just a big budget Nintendo/Powerglove/Super Mario Bros. 3 commercial....sigh
Here's a taste. If you put your ear close enough to the screen you should be able to hear the president of Nintendo having unprotected sex with a dirty pile of money.
