Dyno-steria (ft. Febritzio and Jerry)

 is an American science-fiction action-adventure live-action film that is loosely inspired by the Super Mario series of video games, produced by Lightmotive and released in theaters on May 28, 1993 by the now-defunct Hollywood Pictures division of Walt Disney Studios. It follows brothers Febritzio (Bob Hoskins) and Jerry (John Leguizamo) in their quest to rescue Dorothy (Samantha Mathis) from a dystopic parallel universe ruled by the ruthless President Reptitan (Dennis Hopper).

Plot
65 million years ago, the dinosaurs ruled over the Earth. However, when a meteorite crashes into the Earth, killing the dinosaurs, the impact managed to split the universe into two parallel dimensions. The surviving dinosaurs cross into a new dimension, evolving into a humanoid race and founding the city of Dinohattan.

Twenty years ago, a mysterious woman leaves a large egg, along with a rock, at a Catholic orphanage. As she attempts departure, President Reptitan accosts her, demanding the rock's location. Rocks then fall onto the woman, killing her. The egg hatches, containing an infant girl.

In the present, two Italian-American plumber brothers Febritzio and Jerry Febritzio live in Brooklyn, New York, close to being driven out of business by the mafia-operated Scapelli Construction Company led by Anthony Scapelli. Jerry falls for NYU student Dorothy, who is digging under the Brooklyn Bridge for dinosaur bones. After a date, Dorothy returns Jerry to the bridge and witnesses two of Scapelli's men sabotaging it by leaving the water pipes open. Febritzio and Jerry fix it, but Laggy and Shripe, Reptitan's henchmen and cousins, knock them unconscious and kidnap Dorothy. Upon awakening, the brothers pursue them through an interdimensional portal to Dinohattan.

Laggy and Shripe realize they forgot Dorothy's rock, a meteorite fragment which Reptitan wants to obtain to merge his world with the human world. Dorothy turns out to be the long-lost princess of the other dimension. When Reptitan overthrew Dorothy's father as king and devolved him into fungus, and become the president and dictator of Dinohattan, her mother the queen took her to Brooklyn. The portal was then sealed, but Scapelli's men inadvertently reopened the portal when they blasted the cave. Reptitan sends his cousins to find Dorothy and the rock to merge the dimensions and make him dictator of both worlds. However, after Reptitan subjects them to an experiment to increase their intelligence, they realize Reptitan's evil intentions and side with the Febritzio Bros. after they captured them. Dorothy is taken to Reptitan Tower, where she meets a recently hatched dinosaur named Junior. Reptitan informs Dorothy that she descended from the dinosaurs, believing only she can merge the worlds because of her royal heritage. The Febritzio Bros. rescue Dorothy, aided by Tony, a good-natured guitarist devolved into a Lizargoon, a semi-humanoid dinosaur, as punishment for a protest song against Reptitan.

Reptitan's lover/wife, Lena, merges the two worlds, although the meteorite’s energy kills her. Reptitan attempt to devolve Febritzio with his devloution gun, but he managed to dodge out of the way, allowing the beam to hit and devolves Scapelli into a chimpanzee before Reptitan again going after Febritzio, but Jerry and Dorothy remove the fragment from the meteorite, and the worlds separate again. In Dinohattan, Febritzio and Jerry fire devolution guns at Reptitan and blast him with a walking time bomb. Reptitan, now a ferocious, semi-humanoid Tyrannosaurus, attempts to kill the Febritzio Bros., who permanently destroy him by devolving him into an actual Tyrannosaurus rex, then primeval slime. Dorothy's father is restored to normal as king, and the citizens celebrate and immediately destroy anything with Reptitan's likeness. Jerry professes his love for Dorothy and wants her to come to Brooklyn with him, but Dorothy, having found both her home and father, decides to stay in Dinohattan. Crestfallen, Jerry kisses Dorothy goodbye as he and Febritzio return home to Brooklyn. Three weeks later, the Febritzio Bros. are getting ready for dinner when their story comes on the news and the anchorman says they should be called the "Super Febritzio Bros." Dorothy then arrives and asks the Febritzio Bros to help her on a new mission.

In a post-credits scene, two Japanese business executives propose making a video game based on Laggy and Shripe, now on Earth, to be named The Super Reptitan Cousins.
