RiffTrax: "Manos" The Hands of Fate ()

Overview

Many years ago the people of El Paso, Texas gave their money to a local fertilizer salesman and said, “Go make us the best horror movie you can make.” The result, “Manos” The Hand of Fate, is an object lesson in why you should never give your money to an El Paso fertilizer salesman.  Manos has it all: teens making out, luggage fetching scenes, The Master, Torgo… Did The African Queen have a Torgo? We think not! Did Casablanca have teens making out? It did not! Did The Master have a The Master in it? Okay, perhaps you’ve got us there. Manos is still one of the strangest examples of what one person with no particular talent can accomplish when given a camera, what technically counts as a cast, and a soundtrack that will drive you mad and/or serve as a pretty sweet ringtone.
