Summary: The perfect movie to insult!
Review: Manos delivered some very funny remarks, but since I saw some later episodes first, I didn't think they were delivering enough jokes. In my opinion, the only truly scary thing in the movie was the painting of the "Master". The short on how to be a good car salesman before the movie was unexpected, since I hadn't seen a short before. I think the only movie worse than Manos that the guys have seen is Red Zone Cuba.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: bad
Review: I think this movie is the worst in the series of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Don't get me wrong, I love Mystery Science Theater 3000, but this one stunk.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The winner, and still Champion...
Review: There's a lot of argument here about how "essential" the Manos "viewing experience" is. Well, if you're a dedicated Mistie trying to convert some friends, you may want to take it easy on them and introduce them to "the amazing collalsal man" or "ring of terror" (which is not for sale on video, but still the one that got all my friends watchin'). Manos is simply too awful. You wouldn't watch this if it WASN'T on MST. Even then...But I think watching Joel and the bots finally come close to breaking under the duress is funny and the running sympathy gags from "the mads" makes it a CLASSIC! They're too confused and depressed to even finish their sketches. And then, there's Torgo...quite possibly the best vehicle for Mike Nelson's character impersontation talents (next to Jack Perkins and Glen Manning, the Collasal man). The episode opened a door of opportunites for Torgo to keep coming back to Deep 13 again and again and again...And it just kept gettin funnier! Watch for the Torgo's Pizza Delivery sketch at the end of this one and track down "Secret Agent Super Dragon" when he comes back from the car with the LaRGe...misTEr...pIBb, and your cOUPons "the master wanted y ou to have them, and ...I...I'm giving them to you!" Priceless. Just remember, It'll be dark soon. There is no way out of here. It'll be dark soon. PS please, please PLEASE do not reveal the surprise ending of Manos-the hands of fate. Thank You

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh yeah . . .this is BAD.
Review: Manos, Manos, Manos . . .man, was this bad! This is the worst (therefore, the best) that there is. I love the scarry deformity contest!

"To recap, Manos the hands of fate . . ." IT SUCKS!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: MST3K
Review: Why did they ever review this movie? Oh it is terrible...manos is edited poorly, bad lighting, blury images, terrible audio....and don't let me get started on the plot....ans yet, some how joel and the 'bots live through it...i, however, almost didn't.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Next to "Horror At Party Beach", my favorite.
Review: If it makes the bots cry, it's got to be bad

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Manos... come for Torgo, stay for the Laughs
Review: This movie is without a doubt, one of the absolute worst pieces of trash that a person could ever be forced to watch. That said, MST3K makes this movie one of the funniest in the MST3K library. With a movie that could only have been written by several chimps in a room with little ventilation to watch, the cast aboard the "Satelite of Love" endure through it. The comments jokes made about Torgo (you name it, they make a commnt about it) and the oh-so dense characters in the film, you will really enjoy this one. a definate must buy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Tom Cruise IS Dr John, or John Brown . . . or something . .
Review: "Cave Dwellers". "Wild Rebels". "Plan 9 from Outer Space". "Bride of the Monster". "Body Rock". "Howard the Duck". Any one of the "Gamera" series. People, as a guy who finds subtle humor and beauty in bad movies, I've seen the worst of them. . . .or so I thought. I must have been out of town that day, as during the "Joel years" I was a regular watcher, so that could be the only reason I missed "Manos: Hands of Fate" the first time out. I just got to say this: "Manos" makes the films listed above look like AFI 100 candidates. I mean . . My GOD, this movie is HORRID beyond horrid.

If you're looking for a description of how it takes cinema to a new abyssmal low . . . well, here goes: Imagine getting a continually out of focus Handy 8 camera from the 60's, get 6 of your best friends (make ABSOLUTE sure they can't act), go to a local bar and pick the first 6 women you see and dress them in K-mart nightgowns, go to a desolate beach with a cottage in Ohio somewhere with a script you've written in one hour (and no more) and start filming away. Believe me, you couldn't do any worse.

Every single solitary thing about this endurance test will make your brain start to atrophy. The commentary from Joel and the 'bots is top notch, but you know you have to feel sorry for the poor chaps when the SCIENTISTS apologize for "Manos". The opening edu-short "Hired" (light years better than "Manos", and that ain't saying much), put out by Chevrolet in the 50's, is hilarious as an added bonus. The "Manos" experience has to be seen to be believed. Buy this cobalt bomb of a movie, throw "Manos" parties and invite your enemies. You'll be glad you did.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: the best mst3k ever
Review: Manos is truly the worst film ever made. It is hard to believe that human beings made this piece of garbage. Joel and pals make it fun to watch though.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This move HURTS! Poor, poor Joel and the 'bots!
Review: I can't help but feel sorry for Joel and the 'bots in this one! This was the first MST that I had ever seen and after seeing it, I feel in love with the show. I think this episode should get 5 stars because...well...it's the funniest episode that I have ever seen!
