Ah yes, this fake handicap scene from the cult classic Manos, Hands of Fate (1966) didn't exactly bring in multiple Oscar nominations. Universally recognized as the worst film in movie history, witness Torgo as he bumbles and stumbles around with his bad knees and his bizarre modified tailpipe cane thing. This clip is taken from Mystery Science Theater 3000, Show #424, © 1993 Best Brains, inc. Any guesses as to what they stuffed Torgo's knees with? "That's not the way you wear your Depends, Torgo!"

  • It actually wasn't a fake handicap. Torgo was supposed to be a Satyr, the appearance of a handicap came from the uncomfortable prosthetics the actor had to wear to achieve the image of half man half goat. The pain from the prosthetics was so hard to endure that the actor ended up becoming addicted to pain killers and took his own life a month before Manos was released.

    Quite sad really. At least he didn't have to endure watching the film.

  • The two people who disliked this are secretly Torgo's knees.

  • what the...!?

  • Hey it's Zach Galifianakis.

  • It's honestly kinda sad that they had to fuck up his knees forever and cause him such immense pain over such a crappy movie

  • @InIJah And I thank you for that

  • @MegaTight011 lol that's cool, just thought i'd help ya out

  • @InIJah Hmm

    I dont know a lot about LSD. I think he might have had some other stuff. I just read he was on LSD, which I know you cant believe everything you read

  • @harmonyXsuzukaze first I need to apologize I accidentally thumbs down and can't undo:( but yes there should have been more clarity on that matter. If u have access to the original u can make out "hooves" in some spots of the film

  • @MegaTight011 being an ex addict and drug experimenter I can tell u he def is not on acid as that tends to mess with hearing and seeing & not performance conducive (I've tried myself). I would imagine its something more traditional like cocaine,heroin, or any prescription derivitive. But if he was on anything heavy like acid he wouldn't be able to act well. I once played a show on acid. Piano keys made only one sound: "neart" I couldn't hear the notes I was playing bc of the acid

  • @InIJah I believe that there were rumors from cast and crew that John Reynolds (torgo) was on LSD furing filming

    Which might be why he was twitching

  • Torgo was spose to b a satyr if u have a copy of the original u can make out hooves. Which is also y he speaks and twitches to b horselike
