My theory on that is, without the long cuts, the film possibly would be too short to be considered a "Full length film" and thus Hal Warren would lose his bet with Sterling Silliphant. So the viewer suffers for a bet. BTW, a firm holding company tried to sell the movie to TV stations in the early 1970s and the ads claimed that the film had been made in 1970 and was about a Manson Family-like group. If somebody had not bitten on that ad, MST3K would have never found the film.

[@Thndrstrike]

Some more interesting facts from this "film": 1) The film was made on a bet. The main actor/writer/director bet that he could easily make a horror film. Yeah. Sure. 2) The very small crew realized the film sucked that they started calling it "Mangos: Cans of Fruit" behind the director's back. 3) Torgo was originally supposed to be a satyr (human with goat legs). His bulging knees were due to the fact that the actor John Reynolds wore a metallic frame (intended to bend his legs and make him walk like a goat) backwards, and no one bothered to correct him. Not only did he take drugs to relieve the pain it caused, but it also resulted in poor Reynolds having chronic knee pain until he shot himself only months later (before the film premiered). Reynolds was also supposed to wear hooves, but apparently no one cared, as he is seen in many shots just wearing boots. Between these things and the fact that no one ever mentions his appearance or the fact that he is a satyr leaves him just looking like a deformed freak. 4) The director promised to fix any problems in post. Including that opening sequence (which is nine minutes of driving with boring scenic shots and no dialogue), but it is thought that he either didn't have the money to (budget was about $125,000 in today's terms) or he just flat out neglected to, leaving up with the masterpiece we see today. In conclusion, the director was a fucking lazy sack of shit that clearly didn't care about making a quality film. edit (5/28/2024); wow thanks for the upvote kind stranger!

The 'fact' you give about John Reynolds is actually an urban legend. While it is true that he shot himself not long after filming, it has more to do with the fact he was a drug addict (it's quite clear he's high pretty much the entire time he's on screen) and suffer from depression. He actually designed and built the leg braces himself with help from the actor who played 'The Master' who has since said that although the leg braces were uncomfortable they didn't cause any pain. There's also the fact that movie was shot in just a few days which wouldn't be enough time to get addicted to pain killers and certainly wouldn't be enough time cause permanent damage to his knees.

[@mademow1481]

So the dad invites himself and his family over to stay the night at this random guys house, doesn't like it, then calls the guy over (who's clearly crippled) to not only tell him very rudely that they're leaving, but demands that HE carry their bags back.

[@eldermillennial8330]

Actually, Torgo is a Devilish Faun or Satyr in disguise. I figured that out as I had just watched "The Chronicles of Narnia" when I answered the challenge to watch this POS. He acts like a cripple because the crap on his legs meant to make them goat-like were hobbling him.

Thanks to this series, I don't have to watch movies from the bottom 100. Perfect.

[@jeffreybaker4399]

But if it hadn't been made, we wouldn't have had it as a hilarious MST3K episode. "Hands of fate, Joel. Hands of fate."

[@Oldmangamess]

I saw Frank Conniff (Frank Tv from MST3K) he said he found this movie in a closet container and all they of the bottom of it was this random tape of a movie and then they used it on the show making it the infamous movie it is.

[@mrsmforlife]

THANK YOU! I have heard many videos about this movie (including MSTK3) and you're the only one who realized that the title was "Hands - The Hands Of Fate". Brilliant!

[@smuglytherat]

Even the villians in Mystery Science Theater 3000 admitted they felt bad for making Joel and the bots watch this movie

[@sonerika4238]

the new fucking youtube layout prevents me from hitting the skip button in the beginning god damnit

[@lite64]

Ikr?

[@pastel7729]

Omfg I know right!!

[@donovanpowell5570]

But I can write a comment without the video pausing like it did on mobile

[@DrawtoonzStudio]

+Sonerika Just make it bigger, and that should help...a little.

[@Zoe9833]

+Sonerika same. it's stupid.

About Torgo: "As many of you know by now, I played Debbie the little girl in Manos The Hands of Fate and my dad played the Master. Today's story will continue with John Reynolds aka Torgo. Today is the anniversary of John Reynolds death. He committed suicide on October 16, 1966. He was only 25 years old. I still remember the day my mother and I heard the news. We were on our way to school. She was a teacher on Ben Milam Elementary School on Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, and although my family wasn't military, I was a second grader at the same school. It was Monday morning, October 17th. Mom was driving while listening to the news on the car radio and I was daydreaming out the window when I heard my mother gasp and then burst into tears. She instantly pulled over to the curb, and while still crying, said, "John's dead". I knew who she meant. She took some time to compose herself as I just sat in the passenger seat waiting for things to be normal again. Later, I would get the details from overhearing the adults talking about it. That's when I learned he had put a gun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. Although he was not military, he was buried at Fort Bliss National Cemetary. He died almost exactly one month before the world premire of Manos, The Hands of Fate which was at the Capri Theater in El Paso, Texas on November 15th 1966."

[@crosbowkil98]

so mano means hand in spanish, so the title is "hands: the hands of fate" MMMMM-FUCKING-KAY! EDIT: finished the video, fuuck

[@mojoforthewin3069]

Hands: the hands of hands

[@SilenceOfKnight]

+Pedro The Unicorn Fucker You've got to hand it to them for that title

[@AlyoshaKutlin]

+SilenceOfKnight ayy

[@UriGerhard]

Hands: Los manos de fatos

[@Zappabain]

+Pedro The Unicorn Fucker Hands: Las manos del destino ;)

[@jroo9075]

You MUST watch Mystery Science Theater 3000's riffing of this. When i was first exposed to Manos many, many years ago.

[@pronkb000]

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

[@DanaTheInsane]

Rifftrax one is better. Has all the cut footage.

[@goobleron]

Been listening through Sardonicast recently and I don't think you'll see this comment but on the off chance I did want to say you are a super likeable guy Alex, I'm bingeing through this series for the second time after watching them a few years ago and they don't have that usual feel that 6 year old youtube videos would, the commentary, editing and quips are still so on point and relevant, absolutely quality content mate I wish you posted more often, you are genuinely one of the best youtube channels about, I genuinely hope you're happy and doing well pal.

[@andrewmiller407]

" Every frame of this movie looks like someone's last known photograph."

[@derekk.2263]

My favorite part is that even though the outdoor night scenes are barely lit, the lights still attract hordes of moths. It makes me wonder how they keep moths away in real movies.

[@bigtoechambers9431]

11:19 I need a 10 hour version of sped up Torgo.

[@VidiaReePhoenix]

"Manos: The Hands of Fate"? Manos means hands in Spanish. The title is literally "Hands: The Hands of Fate." Is there a movie called, "Pies: The Feet of Fate" too? Or, "Cabeza: The Head of Fate"? It's so cringe worthy.

[@kamilee4123]

So in Spanish speaking countries is is called Hands: Manos-whatever-of Fate is in Spanish?

[@space_mamanti]

+Kami Lee in Spanish it's Manos : Las manos del destino

[@cecasiahaan6801]

x(Spanish translation):The x of Fate Wowowowow

[@succulentsalad8238]

Vidia Ree LOL

[@ProjectFlashlight612]

Mmmmm....pie.

[@thegreatwhitenorth2128]

It’s so weird looking at these and seeing how much the style has changed and it’s really amazing. Over the span of 3 years his editing and overall content has really improved

[@crabscycle988]

Manus: The Oversized Hand of the Abyss

[@anaveragechannel468]

Praise the comment \0/

[@kmooreknowsmore]

I saw this on the big screen at an Incredibly Strange Film Festival in New Zealand... and with an audience, it was one of the most sublime cinema experiences I had ever seen! The bad production value made it hilarious, and the burning hand scene got a round of applause...

[@plumlogan]

To really appreciate Manos, go the MST3K route

[@FoolishBandit1138]

or Riff Traxs

[@account-named6]

I love MST3K

[@angryrobot7233]

So pumped for the new season

[@LchanOtakudom]

plumlogan MST3k and RiffTrax = Too much funny stuff to handle all at once, please LOL responsibly.

[@cellytron]

The best part… well, this whole movie is “the best part”, but I guess what’s cracking me up the most right this second is that I don’t think they ever get actual permission to stay in the murder house. They just decide they’re gonna stay, and order Torgo to get their shit and bring it inside. And he does.

[@wuzzen97]

I love your "The Search for the Worst" series! At first I didn't really feel like watching them, partly because most of them are quite long, but now I wnjoy them even more than your regular videos! Great job, keep it up! :)

[@AveTrueToCaesar8212]

This is probably my favourite TSFTW episode. The carrot man with the hand staff just fucking cracks me up every time, especially when you realise he's completely off his tits the whole time.

[@demoness6101]

8:08 "not dead the way you know it, he is with us always" "wait a minute let me do that one again" " I heard the thieves broke into the arcane university, the imperial legion compound, and the temple, all in the same night!"

[@redpandacoding]

"I did not edit this." But you should have. Someone should have.

[@owlface9231]

At least it became the best episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000.

[@TheEndershark]

Joel: So, it's Manos... Crow T. Robot: ...the Hands of Fate? Joel: Yes.

[@ehmiguel7602]

mustache man is actually the director. and torgo killed himself one month after filming.

[@Reshme77]

really?

[@ehmiguel7602]

+Reshme yep

[@Reshme77]

if i could afford it, id remake the movie, with crazy c.g.i. rap/metal music, actually guns and blood shed and a bad ass torgo that spits fire and the hopeless couple can be kanye, kim and the kid can be bebier

[@ehmiguel7602]

+ardit kira mustache man is in real life the little girls dad. he was also the director.

[@ehmiguel7602]

+Reshme id watch it.

[@TheLucipurr]

im just picturing the filming of this movie with the lsd guy, like "alright so for this scene im gonna tell my wife and daughter to lock themselves in the room for- goddammit Jim your not even in this scene. what? no, Jim. Jim your mother died four years ago. well Jim, if she died then you couldn't have heard her voice. if it were a ghost we would've heard it too. Jim please, go lie down, drink a glass of water, something, we're trying to make a movie here."

[@gort1863]

Lol

[@mariecarie1]

XD brilliant

[@Raven-gABN]

This was probably the absolute funniest episode of MST3K

[@tampabumblebee2302]

Mystery Science Theater 3000 sound bites keep running through my head. “Torg just wants to touch.”

[@iclimbeverything2990]

that moment when you get an ad that's first frames say "10 reasons to love the big bang theory" on an IHE video

[@thejunksynchronhero]

I can't be the only one that thought the wife was pretty hot? Right?

[@MichaelJohnson-lc8ud]

Definitely not just you

[@davidcorn939]

Glad I'm not the only one

[@jasonkatz4430]

She's definitely hot, then and now

[@IconicBoar097]

+thejunksynchronhero the movie was so boring all i thought about was how hot the dude's wife is lol

[@dildoballins8545]

You have my sword!

[@apenguinnamedabraham]

For me the funniest part of the MST3K episode that this was in was watching the bots genuinely lose their minds. There have been some BAD movies on that show but none can compare to Hands: The Manos of Torgo

[@doofusrick3015]

Don't think I could sit through this film without the MST3k crew...

[@sethhiles7830]

Did anyone else watch this on mystery science theatre? It’s funny listening to them and IHE mock this. Thanks IHE, for not making me sit through the whole thing again . . .

[@SciFiFan2012]

I'm still impressed the cast and crew made this POS in 30 second intervals. I bet they were happy as hell when it was done. Even the little girl's dog wants to be somewhere else!
