The Adds are not put on this film by my choice: it has been hijacked by the sharks of the Public Domain. They claim rights on films that are PD, and get away with it because YouTube seems to support this policy by choosing not to penalise this illegal and culturally immoral practice.
The question is: is Manos the Hands of Fate better than Citizen Kane? Think about it, two first time directors in their debut films who directed, written and starred in their own films. Both films were ingored upon orininal release, but gained a reputation in the following decades. Welles and Warren - two directos, two films, one winner. So what will it be - Kane or Manos? (Tough choice, I know)
@MegaTight011 Why not make Torgo a satyr? He's supposed to be a satyr! But because of the shoddy camera work, all we see is a disheveled, awkward, wobbly man. Torgo is supposed to be a satyr, and the man that played Torgo was tripping on LSD throughout the filming, considering that I'd say he did quite well. They did have to sew metal rods in his pants to give the illusion of having goat-like legs. Not-so-fun fact: he committed suicide shortly after filming this movie.
I already made a sequel in 2008, it was just as bad and I played almost every part, save for the female characters, my neighbors daughters played those parts. Maybe I'll post it in the future.
This movie is done wrong in every department. I just love the part where the clapperboard shows up at 6:06, as if they forgot to edit that out. The music during the end credits is pretty good though.
So if anyone ever wanted to know the proper way to sacrifice someone, you tell your wives to get on top of him and slap him to death--while you dress up like Edger Allen Poe and stare creepily.
No not really there are more terrible things out there.. this is different this is a movie that is I would say sincere. You see they tried to make a good movie but damn.. are they bad at it. Yet you can see the love in this movie.. even if it is bad. It is special!
I hate it when people say "this is the worst film I have ever seen/made" when refering to the latest big budget movie at the time. This my friends is the worst movie ever made. Nothing redeeming, no coherent plot just an hour of very very terrible acting and filming. This is literally painful to watch and seriously the "worst" film of all time.
I just bought the MST3K Special Edition which contains the full un-MSTied movie. The actual episode looks fine, but sadly, the transfer of Manos looks terrible. Ironically, it looks better here on YouTube. Go figure. Thanks for uploading it.
@Derek105Huey Sort of. Manos, in the title, is the name of the Demon the cult worships, so it more of a Name, followed by the explaination of the name
totally. troll 2 is endlessly entertainingly bad. this movie is just ungodly boring most of the time, there are moments of amusment here and there, but this movie is kind of an endurance test. still worth checking out just so you can saw you saw it, though.
How did this movie not win an Oscar?!
