Page "Manos: The Hands of Fate" Paragraph 39

The film was featured in the final episode of season four of Mystery Science Theater 3000 ( MST3K ) on January 30, 1993, preceded by the second half of the short Chevrolet training film Hired!

The " bots " ( Tom Servo and Crow ) used the long uneventful drive at the beginning of the movie to repeat the title of the movie numerous times, as there was yet to be any action to mock.

During the host segment breaks, Joel and the " bots " mocked the film's opening sequence, debated whether Torgo should be considered a monster, and impersonated " The Master " and his dog.

At one point during their sketches, both the bots broke down sobbing due to the poor quality of the movie, which was beyond even their attempts at making it interesting.

After the film had finished, the slow-moving Torgo, played by Mike Nelson ( John Reynolds, the original Torgo, died in 1966 ), appeared at the lair of Dr. Clayton Forrester and TV's Frank to deliver a pizza two hours after it was ordered.

Torgo would also be featured in the later episodes Operation Double 007 ( where he finally brings the Mr. Pibbs that Dr. Clayton Forrester and TV's Frank had ordered in this episode ), Village of the Giants, Danger !!

Death Ray, and Samson Vs.

The Vampire Women, when he appeared as " Torgo the White " to bring Frank to " Second Banana Heaven " Both Forrester and Frank were shown apologizing for showing the film, which they admitted was abysmal and went beyond acceptable limits.
