Mystery Science Theater 3000 - MANOS: The Hands of Fate - Any fans?
Any out there?

What a gem of a 90 minutes.

http://www.epinions.com/content_13124079236

http://www.agonybooth.com/manos/



The ten minutes of the family driving through the Southwest Texas hills?

Once again, ladies and gentlement, "MANOS! The Hands of Fate"

"manOS: the Hands of Fate!"

The random shots of hair and rear-view mirros!



The 'master':



And, his cat-fighting, bedsheet-wearing wives:



And, of course, who could forget the lovable, big-kneed Torgo:



Sheer badness has never been so much fun.

2. My theory is that MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE
Is an attempt to explain why men refuse to stop and ask for directions.

6. I always loved Mystery Science Theater 3000. Watched it every week,
or taped it if I wasn't going to be home. Wish some station would show it again. Best of all, I wish they'd make new episodes.

18. The best part was when Dr. Forrester actually APOLOGIZED
to Joel and the 'bots for forcing them to watch it.

17. I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the master is away.
No, you cannot stay. The master would not approve.

There is no way out of here. It'll be dark soon.

There is no way out of here.

Torgo's the clown that makes the dark side fun.
