I remember MST3K but never heard of Manos: The Hands of Fate. I watched it last night - OMG, I’ll never be the same!

Manos: The Hands of Fate doesn't deserve to be called the worst movie ever made.

So what movie does, if this one doesn't? The greatest monsterpiece ever made, it set the bar so low, you have to to China to go under it.

At least it’s not Mitchell

Is that the one where it looks like they filmed two movies at once and spliced bits of them together? I never could tell who was whom except for Mitchell himself, and the plot line (as much as there was one), kept shifting randomly.

The plot flows better if you're imbibing adult beverages.

"Hot merging action!"

Yeah, I watched it almost 20 years ago. I used to have a Torgo screensaver for windows 3.1 in which Torgo hobbled around the screen and said things like: “He’s not dead the way you and I know it,” “The master does not approve of such devices!” and “The master wants you BUT HE CAN’T HAVE YOU!”

Nice to have someone else watch MST. I usually am watching the MST3K channel on justin.tv while I do other stuff.

When Joel does the skit wearing the Manos cloak, instead of giant hands the cloak has giant feet.

It’s on YouTube in 10 parts, in all its glory. I think I woke my husband up a few times, I was laughing so hard. And yet it was a disturbing movie.
