Manos.....the hands of fate

Well the lost world was mind numbingly boring but yes this is the probably the worst film on the planet.

The IMDB trivia page for this movie is beyond tragic XD
You guys gotta read this: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060666/trivia

Oh my god! this was without doubt the WORST! film EVER!!! But you gotta love the later appearances of Mike as Torgo :P But man was this ever the hardest film to sit through!

Oh... Torgo's supposed to be... a... satyr??

From IMDb: "Cast and crew recall that John Reynolds [the actor that plays Torgo] was on LSD during filming, explaining his confused behavior and incessant twitching in virtually all of his scenes." For more Manos trivia, click here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060666/trivia?ref_=tt_trv_trv

Tom's minute-long monologue starting at 1:23:05 is my current favorite thing (although Gypsy's background music for the closing segment is a close second). It captures the true feeling of being stuck in a car with someone cheerfully clueless.

Did Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom produce this movie to rip off their investors? Good Gravy, the boys have riffed many movies, but this has to be the very worst!

I just saw the Rifftrax of this last week (hilarious good time) and I have to say that the mom, while dumb as a brick, is one foxy lady. On the big screen in hi-def she is seriously pretty.

"Hired 2: Electric Boogaloo!" :D

I was lucky enough to see a live stage production of Manos several years ago. Especially noteworthy is that the daughter was played by a dude at least 2-4" taller than the performer playing Mom.

Also, I can never decide whether this or Castle of Fu Manchu is the worst movie ever that doesn't involve Bill Rebane or Coleman Francis. I guess it's a draw. :/

Manos: the soundtrack!

The replay of the Rifftrax Live Manos is in theaters Thu Jan 24. I highly recommend it if it's playing near you

Although it is not clear in the film Manos: The Hands of Fate (1966), the character, Torgo, is supposed to be a satyr, half man, half goat, which is why his knees appear to be misshapen. Torgo, (John Reynolds) designed the prosthetics himself with help from Tom Neyman, who played the Master in the film.

Click here for previews of Manos in HD. It's lookin pretty good.

Anyone else finding Crow's behavior in the prologue segment disturbing?

One of the many MST3K films not to be attempted without sarcastic robots.

This movie knows how many bullets a revolver holds, that's more than can be said about a lot of them.

I actually like to eat the heads of chocolate bunnies last. That way they suffer.

Hay did anyone else get car-sick from the opening scean?
And repulsed at ending

The producer/writer/fertilizer salesman actually got beat up by a lady for the end scene where the little girl is counted as being amongst the wives.

That looping music...must...resist...urge...to kill...someone...

I was pulling my hair out during the loooong, silent driving scenes. Then they started speaking, and I found myself wishing for the loooong, silent driving scenes.

Close your eyes, just listen to Torgo, and tell me he isn't being played by Katharine Hepburn!

Makes me long for "Kitten with a Whip".

Manos. What more need be said?

Anyone else going to the live Rifftrax of Manos on Aug. 16?? Coming soon to a theater near you! http://rifftrax.tumblr.com/post/20014970615/rifftrax-live-manos-the-hands-of-fate

I just can't see myself making it through this movie without Joel and the bots. Man, does it suck.

This was my first Joel episode!. Pick the best of the best to start with! XD

I think Torgo works at my local pharmacy.

Mike as Torgo @ the end .... NICE TOUCH

It would be hilarious if Torgo later went on to be Norm on Cheers, you know? Everyone yells his name as he staggers slowly into the bar, then he starts groping Diane and calling Frasier "the Master"

When I scroll through the episode list, I like to look at which episode has the most viewers at the moment. I can understand why Manos is popular in a general sense, but I've noticed that it always gets a lot of viewers (at least 4 and sometimes as many as 15 from what I've seen) Sunday evenings. The rest of the time it has (Moon) 0-2 viewers, like most episodes; but every Sunday, the sun goes down and *boom*, party at Torgo's place, like clockwork.

'Sup with that?

Split a *&%@ ing STITCH

I didn't get a chance to see these on TV, and am now working my way through the episodes. I've heard of this one, though, and had to force myself to go through all of season 4 without "skipping ahead." Now I'm all "ohboyohboyohboy" on the inside.

Hey guys. At 24:00, when they do the break, they're driving in the opposite direction of the movie behind them.

ahh.... great times, Torgo. how we miss you

Do you think Torgo is his first or last name?

Quinten Tarintino owns an original 35mm film print of this movie. He says it's his favorite comedy of all time.

You know, for all this movie's faults, the soundtrack could have been composed by John Coltrane or Miles Davis during one of their more drug-fueled experimental periods.

Torgo is supposed to be a satyr, hence the metal frame under the actor's pants to attempt to show legs that bend backward like a faun. Apparently the contraption was extremely painful to John Reynolds. He killed himself in 1966, although no connection to Manos was given in his death. Sad, really.

"Vacations are fine, but this one should be great"? Are you sure, Movie?

So is this movie grosser than it is stupid? Or stupider than it is gross? Think about it wont you?

I often wonder who came up with the initial idea to stuff pillows in the legs of Torgo's pants.

the scene where the women begin fighting/wrestling is straight out of Monty Python. Classic!!!

My favorite episode, I remember having this on VHS

Still a better move than The Room.

Hal Warren (the dad in the movie) made this film on a bet. He bet Stirling Siliphant that he could make a successful horror film on a small budget.

What is going on here...This movies plot is about as clear as to what happened last New Years:)

This movie is a circus; all that's missing is a bear on a unicycle.

It is a great episode, but if this is your first time watching the show, try a different episode first. The movie really is that bad.

Time to get started on my Torgo Halloween costume

This movie...is so terrible...Great episode though.

How has nobody else commented on this episode! Might well be the best MST3k ep of all time. Mister you keep those hands of fate at 10 o'clock and 2 o'clock.
