Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Manos, the Hands of Fate description
Arguably the worst movie that our lovable pals Joel, Crow, and Tom Servo have ever had the pain of watching, Manos: Hands of Fate is destined to be an MST3K classic for this very reason. Not only is there a sparse, illogical plot, but the cinematography is nonsensical (note Servo's point about the endless countryside ride in Texas). That said, Manos must be watched, and cringed at, and commented on by its viewers because of the director's amazingly awful vision of what a horror film should be. What plot there is involves a vacationing family being trapped in a remote ranch house in the desert that's "managed" by a greasy, what looks to be stoned, oversize bow-legged keeper named "Torgo." As the movie goes on, and one finds the "master" and his harem of semi-dead women clad in see-through white dresses, one wonders more and more what the hell this movie was supposed to be about. Even Dr. Forrester and Frank feel a little sorry for Joel and the boys' being forced to watch this one. Still, you'll find yourself spiraling into hysterics when the women get into a big catty brawl while Joel and the boys liken their antics to a Ladies Guild performing A Midsummer Night's Dream or female dirt-wrestling. An episode you'll love to suffer through. --Karen Karleski

♥♥♥♥♥ Any movie that has Dr. F and TVs Frank apologizing has to be bad.
Manos: The Hands of Fate is by far the worst movie ever made and at the same time one of the funniest MST3K episodes. I am curious how this movie ever saw the light of day. It is that bad. The movie had a premiere in November of 1966 in El Paso, and actually aired in the cinemas. I know for a fact that without the Robots and Joel, I would never have made it through this movie.

The Satellite of Love does a tremendous job with this movie, with Mike dressing up as his rendition of Torgo, the half man/ half goat. I know the purpose of Mystery Science Theater is to take bad films and make something positive out of them. This truly has to be their masterpiece, because they've taken the most horrible piece of film to ever come into existance and make it into a watchable show that makes you laugh until you have tears in your eyes.

This is a true demonstration of how amazing Mystery Science Theater is. It is the ultimate demonstration of how the most horrific film can be made into something entertaining. If you are planning on losing your MST3K virginity, I don't recommend this as your first. It's a bit intense for that. I'd recommend one of the Gamera episodes or purhaps Santa Claus Conquers the Martians. Manos is a bit intense for your first MST3K experience, but a must for all who love the show.
