MST3K: Manos And The Hands Of Fate



In the spirit of April Fools Day I give you MST3K: Manos: The Hands of Fate. Manos is quite possibly the worst movie ever made(it was made on a bet) and it's actually funny in its own right but it gets even funnier when Joel and his robot friends ridicule it. Also there is a short Chevorlet training film before the movie that is almost as bad. Quick side note: manos means hands in spanish so the title translates to Hands: The Hands of Fate

If you're not familiar with Mystery Science Theater 3000(a.k.a. MST3K) you should be, so let me explain(or read the wikipedia article on it). The plot is this; a janitor at some company does a good job cleaning up everything, but his bosses don't like him so they shoot him into space. Once in space they send him crappy movies(I'm talking really crappy movies, not Daredevil crappy, I mean Santa Claus Conquers the Martians crappy) and force him to watch them. The janitor, named Joel, has only one defense, a sense of humor, so he makes fun of the movies. Also he can't control when the movies start because he used those parts to build robot friends who also make fun of the movies. The last episode aired in 1999 so some of the pop culture references are old but they're still just as funny.
