MST3000 is a funny show and has a large cult following, but just not me. I can't stand all that talking over everyone else. It's like watching The View.

I would say Egah! is pretty horrible as well. I always thought that title was funny though since "Manos" in spanish translates to "hand". So the title actually reads "Hands The Hands of Fate".

And yet, no mention at all. Great, just what the Net needs. More blogging about someone else's ideas, with no credit given.

There is however a modern myth circulating about this movie about actors comitting suicide after the release of the movie. While it is correct that the guy playing Torgo (John Reynolds) killed himself prior to the release he did have some other problems like depression and drug addiction, so it was hardly because of Manos. Further more, there are, at least in my opinion many worse movies (especially if you weigh in how much money are spent on them). "Manos" is at least a good bang for its buck, which is more than you can say for (for instance) Santa with Muscles or Battlefield Earth.

It is criminal not to mention the MST3K episode where they make fun of this movie. This particular episode is my all time favorite of the whole MST3K series, and has become a mini cult phenom amongst hardcore fans of the series. Oh Torgo, how did I ever live without you? Secret about me: Back in the 90's I went to the 1st MST3K convention, where I participated in the costume contest. I was one of about 40 people who dressed as Manos. Ah, memories.....So sad MST3K is no longer on the air. Joel, Mike, Crow, Tom Servo...you guys got me through high school. Thanks! Agreed.
