Quinton Reviews 'Manos: The Hands of Fate'

Second time is always the charm. That's the saying, right?

[@KH12foreve]

Fun fact: The girl who played Debbie is the real life daughter of the actor who played The Master, and the Master's dog was actually their family pet. No wonder that dog looks so happy.

[@psychedelicpunk5031]

I just read this as "The girl who played Debbie is the real of daughter of the actor who played the masters dog" lmfao

[@kayleighbrown459]

Honestly, the moment where he like dramatically stretches out his arms to waken his wives and the shot fades only for it to fade back in, showing him sitting on his alter listening to his wives bicker and looking like he's just regretting every life decision he's ever made, is one of the funnies fucking things I've ever seen in a film. It...it's just gold.

[@daveroche6522]

2+ women in your life? A great fantasy but an emotional nightmare.......

[@ZaGorudan]

Wow, I've never seen this movie look this clean before. The guys behind the blu-ray release did an excellent job.

[@QuintonReviews]

They sure did. If anyone's interested, you can legally stream and download the remastered copy LEGALLY for just $9.99 at watch.synapse-films.com/

[@heathinvaderstudios]

@@QuintonReviews I beg your pardon, but actually the film is of public domain. I’m not sure if I’m remembering this correctly, but as I recall, the reason why it’s always been of public domain is because the people who made it failed to put a trademark on it.

[@whytry5699]

torgo was actually high on LSD no joke

[@diegodankquixote-wry3242]

Torgo is the greatest character ever created and has the greatest theme song of all time.

[@neal2399]

Torgo is best girl, perfect waifu

[@tylerhereonyttylerpls]

He also committed suicide after production

[@CaptApril123]

yea.. that's sad. I think he could have actually had a good shot at being a legitimate actor, he's the best part of the, and i use the term loosely, film.

[@daveroche6522]

Also, he also fell off the twig shortly after the'd finished. TORGO of POTUS! kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmrJlYymi5KMbcU

[@theboxghost14]

To me, "bad" is something that not only isn't pleasant, but something that actually takes pleasure away from you. When you feel worse coming out of an experience than when you went in.

[@deadlysnakeman]

I think Quinton and Torgo are actually long lost brothers.

[@joshfriedman7099]

The resemblance is uncanny. complete look-alikes.

[@MillywiggZ]

9:15 Torgo's limp theme sounds wonderfully like a loading screen. I think I have to make it into my ring tone.

[@daveroche6522]

I DID. Trust me you'll never want to actually answer it ever again. I think its A#-A-C#-D on the keyboard.

[@MerkinMuffly]

John Reynolds (Torgo), you left us too soon my great thespian, the entire acting world mourned when he shot himself in the head with a shotgun on October 16, 1966, a month before the film was to premiere. His one and only film, and bygod it was gold.

[@Rangernewb5550]

MerkinMuffly I thought this was a joke. This was not a joke.

[@papagrimbo4457]

Rip torgo

[@thespyfromtf2133]

And aparently he was also high for most of the film

[@razzle8140]

That explains so much

[@kingrat9608]

I would've shot myself too if I was involved with this movie

[@DrShaym]

The guy who played Torgo killed himself a month before the movie premiered. He was 25. The guy who played the Master died less than two weeks after this video was uploaded. He was 80.

[@billkormas3460]

:(

[@DeathByEric]

I just looked Torgo up a little bit ago and now I'm sad. );

[@HarveyJackOlden]

So manos in spanish is hands... Therefore the title of the movie is Hands: hands of fate

[@dr.migalitoloveless1651]

I knew that

[@katietaylor8314]

Reminds me of the La Brea Tarpits. Translation: The Tarpit Tarpits.

Hands: the Hands of Hands 2: Electric Boogaloo

[@marilynrose7318]

The scarf!!! No one mentioned the scarf! One minute that woman is wearing a white scarf on her head. The next minute she's not. This happens throughout the entire movie. Can not wait for the sequel!

[@ash.r9k]

Please never stop doing what you do

[@hyperchris3]

manos means hands in spanish. this movie literally called "Hands: The Hands of Fate"

[@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness]

hyperchris3 actually, manos is hands in Latin.

[@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness]

The King yes, and?

[@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness]

The King that means that manos or similar words also mean hands in French, Italian, and Romanian. Latin is a more complete answer.

[@Trotty2000]

No, hands is manus in latin not manos ...

[@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness]

Pello Arrasate my bad. That's what I get for believing Wikipedia without anymore research.

[@aiberlane3390]

I can't believe some actually restored it and put it on Blu-ray! So many great films haven't gotten a Blu-Ray makeover, yet Mano of all things did. Not complaining, just scratching my head.

[@Knightmessenger]

It would be like seeing the Star Wars Holiday Special in original master tape quality.

[@MasticinaAkicta]

The thing with Manos is that it is a MST3K/Rifftrax favorite for a reason. It is truly special. My is it like nothing else. And it is fun hanging around with others talking about the stuff around the movie. Definitely, if you find someone who sees it for the first time and you tell them all the little side knowledge. It is a warm cozy experience.

[@MiloKuroshiro]

Quinton looks really cute as Torgo

[@markvlogs3128]

All of Torgo's scenes are made better when you know that the guy who played him was high on LSD while filming

[@mogan4534]

Manos the Hands of Fate has a blu-ray release? Life finally makes sense again.

[@Nevercleangutters]

Hands: The Hands of Fate. Haha, I watched this B grade movie a few years ago in the cinema - it's not my favourite bad movie, but it's pretty good!

[@Nevercleangutters]

Also, for memory "Torgo" was either constantly drunk or high while filming... can't remember if that was a fact or just an assumption of the commentators

[@SunflowersAreCute]

Nevercleangutters he was on LSD most of the time

[@Nevercleangutters]

Thanks for that guys - yeah LSD does ring a bell... glad I didn't make that up!

[@ohhimark6945]

I saw Hands:The Hands of Hands

[@elizabethhogan1610]

Nah, this is Z grade

[@dankpips45]

Yeeees! YEEES! Quinton's channel, GROW GROOOOOOW!!!! You deserve it dude. One of the best channels I've come across! :)

[@QuintonReviews]

Why thank you! I' very grateful for my community. :)

[@TheMightyPika]

I unashamedly love this movie the same way I love The Room, Birdemic, and Plan 9. All wonderful, wonderful cheese that only true madmen could create.

[@arizonaFIREent]

Samurai Cop is good too

[@shawnhoelscher1440]

If the story behind the making of Manos is true then it should be the subject matter for The Disaster Artist 2

[@CaptApril123]

Good review, thanks. The Blu-ray treatment looks great. I'm sure the cast and crew could have never imagined it would still be around decades later in high definition being watched by millions. I'd love to see a John Reynolds star on the Hollywood walk of fame just to piss everyone off. I hope his family get some residuals out of the movie, he was awesome.

[@ToastyRob]

keep up the hot work hotty

Legend has it the couple is still making out to this day.

[@Floydthefuckbag]

Does Torgo have two sets of eyebrows?

[@walterk9916]

It looks like Torgo was having a fainting spell and was trying to put his hand on her shoulder to prevent himself from falling

[@Labyethan]

Walter K He was on drugs during production.

[@kayleighbrown459]

Actor was high as a kite.

[@TheInfiniteGlitch]

11:23 Quinton × Torgo fic is writing itself.

[@elizabethhogan1610]

Every time he played a clip, the relevant MST3K quip would sound off in my head. I've seen that episode SOOO many times.

[@grimbogremlin4291]

This guy needs more subs

[@warpedout4044]

[@MateusVarandas_]

A few days ago I discovered I'm subscribed to your channel and I have absolutely no idea how that happened, but I'm glad it did. I couldn't stop laughing about Manos while you were reviewing it XD

[@THEJUICEBOYS]

quinton reviews? More like Quinton, I wanna fucking die please help me

[@warrior5230]

The ultimate Halloween horror is "The Last Airbender" due to how bad a great story, lore, and overall idea can become.

[@skullcrushers1000]

The algorithm has REALLY been trying to show me this video for a while.

[@buriedpet]

Your older work has this very quaint and sort of homey vibe that’s hard to place, and I love it. It’s amazing to see how far you’ve come as a creator. Mad props for everything you’ve accomplished so far, and good luck with your future endeavors. I know they’ll be amazing! P.S. hail to the king who changed Garfield history forever

[@arryks]

Personally I prefer the 2min 5sec directors cut. Had a more, artisan touch.

[@eleanor5675]

The Manos episode of MST3K is the best one in the series tbh

[@RonanStreamkiller]

Oh my god, I've actually watched this, holy crap. I fell asleep 5 minutes in.

[@Lucaz99]

Quinton your reviews are amazing. They have clear influences but are still very unique with your very own style of humor. Good work man.

[@carissacarlson1418]

Great review, as always. I only heard about this movie, but by god is it is entertainingly and amusingly bad. Like you said, a fun bad movie. Also, as a side note, oh my god that dog in the movie is adorable! ...and I really want that cape, too.

[@cr8torscurse]

Always makes my night better when i get to fall asleep to one of your videos. Ps,Your voice is soothing as shit.

[@kayleighbrown459]

That part at 16:40 is genuinely one of my favourite comedic moments in all cinema. This super spooky wizard dude makes this big show of praising his evil overlord and awaking his four enslaved concubines. And it just cuts to him sitting on his alter listening to them all squabble with an look on his face like he's regretting every single life choice that led him to this moment. It's juts....it's gold to me.

[@stephenjones6060]

As a Mormon, thank you.

[@tatelangdoncrying]

have you seen the mst3k episode of this? torgo!!!!

[@icallhimgerald6463]

zolooooooo00 honestly not even mst3k could make this movie not-boring

[@CoalDiamondandhisawesomeness]

I Call Him Gerald obviously you haven't seen the episode. Oh, wait, neither have I.

[@BogusChip]

I have to say, this channel is so entertaining and every video is amazing! Keep up the awesome work :D

[@queen5890]

I love the cute puppy that the master has

[@twogp]

I stumbled upon your channel during the whole Leafy vs iDubbbz drama and I'm glad I did! Keep up the good work!

[@muffylittlemoon]

That guy doesn't even look like he's limping, he looks like he's bending his knees and just walking

[@manishminotaur6683]

wow quinton, i didn't know you were an actor! you did great as torgo :)

[@waltrz]

Torgo is my spirit animal.

[@hypochondriac1]

I'm pretty sure I saw this movie once really late at night on TV when I was a kid. Really strange experience.

[@ZombieSharky]

It's been years, but can we should take a moment to appreciate the thumbnail you made for this.

[@commenter_HIMIK-MAN]

This "I wonder where they're going." scene could become a meme.

[@Mattitude23]

have never seen the *HD* *Revised* version....still a classic no matter what,....TORGO!!

[@donniesalami6085]

i want a hand cane

[@PixelOverload]

Just a bit of theory crafting: considering the end of the movie, it's possible one of the master's wives was previously Torgo's wife (probably the one whose hair he fondled) before he was brainwashed by the master.

[@oejsy]

the torgos limp theme is what my anxiety sounds like

[@MrJohndoakes]

This is the original 16mm Kodak Ektachrome workprint, cleaned up. The "Mystery Science Theater" version was a 35mm theatrical blowup that was dubbed to VHS or Betamax, because the rightsholders tried to sell the film to TV stations during the 1970s-1980s. Outside of premiring in an El Paso, TX. theater and a run though a number of theaters elsewhere, the film vanished after the 1970s, only brought out of obscurity by MST3K.

[@donnylurch4207]

I love bad movies, and even I had trouble sitting through Manos without MST3K accompaniment. I long for the day I find some people willing to do this with me, because even my most bad movie-loving friends have a hard time committing to a difficult sit without frequent phone gazing.

[@homefront1999]

Haha the fucking Nathan for You killed me.

[@thewonderfulworldofkatushya950]

A few weeks ago I fell asleep while watching Manos: The Hands of Fate on Pluto TV🤣🤣🤣 For some reason I woke up cold and hungry...

[@louc.6735]

Manos is a cautionary tale about not forcing yourself into strangers' houses.

[@waltrz]

Also, fuck the cape, I want that painting of the master and his dog, I really like it.

[@markisabelle7003]

Holy shit that wasn't a joke and the Manos sequel ACTUALLY has the same plot as Grave Encounters 2. Holy shit.

[@JamiJR]

Watching this review makes me wonder how Quinton would react to Zoltan: The Hound Of Dracula.

[@smitty3624]

Low key when you opened the inside pamphlet I went to one of those peep show trailer compilation videos, then watched one of the movies. Good shit, real grade-A vintage.

[@suzyq3771]

Loved your review. Very funny!!🤣🤣

[@daniray-avila9306]

Ya know, the guy from the "Down The Rabbit Hole" KZbin page looks exactly like that nerdy protagonist from Grave Encounters 2

[@grimdimlight3621]

I found it best watching it in Mst3k. Then again it’s one of the best mst3k episodes.

[@grantwilliams2650]

*IHE flashbacks*

[@TehSkeletonKing187]

How much money would you pay to have a body like Quinton? I mean, just look at him. His beard, his sweaty skin, his large rounded belly....I'd pay any price to have this mans body.

[@FruntIine]

Why not both?

[@TheSuperSeanyo]

bob jones it was removed, what did it say

[@FruntIine]

TheSuperSeanyo If it was removed, how are you replying to it m8?

[@zoezoe945]

I just need the beard and I have the Quinton look.

[@TheInfiniteGlitch]

Agreed.

[@GrahamAW2001]

[@markriosn7589]

Move over Casablanca and Citizen Kane. Manos: The Hands of Fate is the best movie ever made. 10/10 #Oscarworthy

This movie has so much potential for redubbing

[@retrogrademedia1940]

We gave Manos a watch and review on our channel recently! Definitely a classic in it's own right haha

[@jimvargaco.6344]

I've used the bell and howell they used to shoot this, and frankly I'm impressed they got such good shots. It's called the 70DR Filmo and it was hella popular in the 60s

[@missmoxie9188]

Awesome job man!

[@BCZF]

Thank you MST

[@Greigames]

Why does the little girl sound like butters?

[@troodon1096]

The person dubbing her lines is clearly an adult. Fun fact: the actress that plays Debbie (the little girl) is the real life daughter of the actor that played The Master.

[@marilynrose7318]

Why did they have to dub her voice? Was she a mute?

[@lordagony100]

I think it's because the camera could only record 32 seconds, I think everyone is dubbed actually I could be wrong though, but I swear I heard that somewhere

[@robertbleakley7995]

Torgo makes me think of Charlie from It's Always Sunny

[@mattwales2734]

Filmed in wonderful El Paso, Texas!

Oh god, the 'torgo's limp theme', is something I associate with TheSpoonyOne's review of Revenge in the House of Usher. Oh noooooooooooooooooo!

[@katietaylor8314]

5:50 - supposedly, parts of the endless driving montage were filmed on a road called "Scenic Drive". One critic said it must be called that "because the name Armpit of America Boulevard was already taken".

[@MortusSweet]

1. I want that robe, and 2. I feel so sad about the guy who played the keeper :(

[@Oldmangamess]

I met the person who made this movie popular So for context this movie was riffted on MST3K a long time ago on tv so basically one of the actors who was on that show found this movie at the bottom of a random storage bin and watched it finding the worst movie that was created. Btw the actor is Frank Conniff he still makes fun of movies to this day
