Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaCast and crew recall that John Reynolds was on LSD during filming. It explains his confused behavior and incessant twitching in virtually all of his scenes.
- GoofsThe female teenager in the car misses her cue, looks directly into the camera, then delivers her line.
- Crazy creditsThe End?
- Alternate versionsThe DVD version is a few seconds shorter than the original. For example, the film once started with the car (with mom, dad and Debbie) pulling up and stopping BEFORE the dialog starts. There is also a little music that was cut out. The full opening can be seen in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 version of the film.

Featured review
"I take care of the place while the master is away" That line will forever burned in my mind as the worst line in cinema history. I'll just go over this step by step.
1- Story Manos: The Hands of Fate is the worst story ever. Its absolutely ridiculous, yet somehow it is probably one of the better parts of the movie.
2-Directing The directing is probably the worst part of the movie, I don't know how any person could put so much filler and actionless situations in a movie.
3-Editing Wow. That is the only word to describe the editing or lack thereof. People will be standing one moment, and sitting the next. They didn't even bother making clips look similar, the movie is not smooth at all. I couldn't tell if the actors were purposely repeating this over and over, or if the editing was just so bad they forgot to take out the second line.
4-Acting The acting is one of a kind. In this case, that is not a good thing. The acting is extremely forced, especially in the case of Torgo. All of the actors are incredibly phony. Torgo's repetition of his lines, the delayed reactions, and Torgo's drunk motions are simply awful. I swear at times I thought the actors were mentally retarded.
When you put all of these together, and add a master with a weird cape and a black dog, you get the worst movie of all time. Its so bad you really must see it to appreciate it.
