Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Manos, the Hands of Fate

Rating:
Summary: Has to be seen to be believed!
Review: If you have not seen MST3K yet this is a great place to start. It has Joel and the robots ripping one of the worst films ever. I cannot imagine watching this film without those guys. There is no question in my mind that this is the worst movie ever. It is one of the only movies that I have seen in which every aspect of it is terrible. But, on the other hand every aspect of this MST3K episode is awesome!

Summary: the worst movie ever
Review: "Manos Hands of Fate" has to be the worst movie I have ever seen. I have sat through some bad stuff before, but "Manos" outclasses them all. It's not even close. Some people miss the point and say that there aren't enough jokes. But, this makes the movie. You have to be able to feel the pain that Joel and the 'bots are in. If they had filled it with jokes, you wouldn't have gotten the impact of how horrid this movie is. Yes, it still hurts to watch, but that's the point, and that is what makes this the best MST3K ever did.

Summary: It was not the best episode ever!
Review: I've heard everywhere that this was the best mst3k episode ever. So like any MSTie I bought it. Man was I disapointed, even though the movie was terrible, the riffs just were'nt funny. The only parts I liked were Tom's Torgo voice and the final host segment. I also don't like Joel. I know he invented the show and he is pretty funny. I like Mike better in the theater and I like how the bot's torture Mike. Now don't get me wrong, I love anything and everything about mst3k. I just don't think "MANOS" The Hands Of Fate was that good of an episode.

Summary: You'll have the haunting Torgo music in your head for days.
Review: Torgo, the Master, lots of driving, cat fights, and an old man with a small cloth on his head. What do all these things have in common? They all make up one of the funniest MST3K videos you can buy. You might have thought you've seen bad movies before, but you've never seen anything like like this. And the wise cracks and skits are top notch. An all time classic!

Summary: The Film that Fertilizer made. How appropriate!
Review: "MANOS: the hands of fate" was conceived by Harold Warren, a Texas fertilizer mogul, apparently after a long day of shoveling a big pile of...well, you know, FERTILIZER. "Manos" is probably the worst movie ever made which is good news for MST3K fans because it's also probably the best MST3K episode ever! "Manos" is the kind of movie that isn't released by Hollywood, it escapes! I won't bother trying explain the plot, because there is none. Just suffice to say that some stupid, inept people behave foolishly, repeat themselves alot, repeat themselves alot and end up at the hands of the wobbly 'Torgo' and his 'Master', basically victims of their own bottomless stupidity. All filmed in fabulous "HAZE-VISION". Stars nobody, look for producer Hal "Bag-of-Hammers" Warren as the clueless dad. There's also a short before the feature, "HIRED pt.2", the second half of a Chevrolet sales training film from the 50's. (Don't worry if you haven't seen part 1, the really important plot points are in part 2!) BUY IT! ENJOY! ACCEPT THE PAIN!

Summary: Manos!
Review: Boy this was a hard one to watch. It would have been unbearable without Joel and the 'Bots. The movie equivalent of a car wreck, you want to turn away but you can't. Even Frank and Dr. Forrester felt guilty about this one. Definitely not for a first-time viewer.

Summary: THE GREATEST EPISODE EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The first time I saw this episode I knew this one was special.Just take a look at all the info on this episode on the net!All I can say is that even though we are losing the greatest show ever, at least we have this reminder of how phenominal this show was.

Summary: The Best episode of MST3K there is.
Review: This movie, is just awful without Joel and the bots. I hope none of you ever have to sit through it. But , with them, I rolled on the floor laughing. Literally. I thought I was tripping , I laughed so hard. Torgo is the greatest non-monster, monster ever. They guys turn him into a drunken pleeb at a frat party, which is right where he belongs. I really believe that the sole purpose for making this movie, was so the director could revel in the (20 minute !!!) catfight. Any MST3K fan who hasn't seen this, you must run out now, RIGHT NOW, and buy it.

Summary: A movie beyond explanation- but hilarious
Review: This movie always leaves me with a creepy feeling at the end, like I need to go take a good, hot shower afterwards. No surprise the film was made by a fertilizer salesman. Between the stiff acting, drawn out driving scenes and completely helpless characters, the movie is still a pleasure to watch. Very funny- but in a strange way. It's like watching a train wreck but you don't want to turn away. They should give out a certificate or something (like they used to do for people getting thru the "faces of death" movies) at the end. Or maybe a morphine patch would be better. Mst at their finest

Summary: ONE OF THE BEST!!!!
Review: One of the best of the Joel Robinson episodes. You will laugh until you cry, especially at the hysterical short at the beginning of the show. And the nightgown wrestling sequence would be hilarious even without any commentary. I must admit, I've never seen a film where the actors repeat lines over and over so much ("The man, yes; the child, no!" ; "The damn car won't start!")
