Magic Kombat is a 1995 Philippine sci-fi fantasy comedy film written and directed by Junn Cabreira. The film stars Smokey Manaloto and Eric Fructuoso, and centers around Mario (Manaloto) and Luigi (Fructuoso) as they are accidentally transported into a video game world and are forced to fight their way out of it. Many of the film's scenarios, sound effects and characters–including that of Mario and Luigi–were unauthorized parodies of Super Mario Bros., Street Fighter II and other video games popular in the Philippines during the 80s and 90s.[citation needed]
It was one of the entries in the 1995 Metro Manila Film Festival.[1][2][3][4]
