Customer Reviews of Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Manos, the Hands of Fate
Laugh Out Loud Bad Worst movie ever made but the laughs are non stop. Highly recommend!
Watch only with the 'bots
Oh My Gawd. This has to be seen by anyone who enjoys completely incompetent schlock. The sound track was added after filming and there are only two or three different 'actors' which were used for the dialogue of several characters. It is all bad, the cinematography, the acting, the sets, the story, you get the picture. I watch this with my 14 year old son every couple of weeks and we laugh like crazy especially at the wisecracks about Torgo. I really don't see how there could be a spoiler alert on any reviews for this since it is almost incomprehensibly awful. Sad about what happened to some of the participants in this production after the fact, I hope it wasn't only because of this that someone would take their own life. 4 stars with MST, don't watch without.
A "Fate" almost worse than death
Ya know, there are those movies that are so monumentally bad that ya can't really goof on 'em, you simply lay back and find yourself in slack-jawed awe over just how bad the flick is. I found this to be the case with the MST3K rendition of "Manos: Hands of Fate", a movie so "goof-proof" that even our beloved SOL denizens were hard-pressed to add a decent touch of hilarity to the proceedings with their endless arsenal of wisecracks, put-downs, and scads of esoteric pop-culture references. Sadly, most of the gags the boys laid out here fell flatter than a pancake run over by a tank.

>Heck, even the show's "bad guys", Dr. Forrester and Frank, both felt kinda bad about forcing this "screen gem" onto their captives. Fortunately, they got theirs in the end, thanks to the show's funniest moment. Yep, it's kinda pathetic when the ridiculously corny intermission sketches are actually funnier than Joel & the 'Bots' rapid-fire cinematic commentary. It's also pretty pathetic when Joel keeps announcing the movie's title in a profound manner every five minutes, probably in an effort to keep the audience from forgetting what they're watching. Trust me, guys: I DON'T wanna remember the ninety minutes of my life that I wasted watching this...

>This platter did have something of a redeeming quality to it: Quite a few of the bits from the half-hour-long "Poopie" blooper reel were reasonably amusing... especially when Crow did a reenactment of Michael Jackson's infamous Pepsi commercial burn-up. Come to think of it, both Crow AND Tom Servo experience quite a bit of unintentional dismemberment in many of these out-takes...

>Bottom line: if you're a MSTie who simply MUST see every single MST3K show ever made, try to give this one a rent before you consider buying it. Otherwise, stick to the truly funny MST3K stuff that ISN'T goof-proof... like the movies in the Volume 6 set (www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0002VET2M) for example. Now, THAT's some funny shiznit!
