Trivia:
The movie was given a gala premiere in El Paso upon its release, and many local dignitaries were on hand. Part way into the film, members of the audience began heckling it. Many of the film's cast and crew sneaked out of the theater before the film ended to avoid the embarrassment of having to admit being part of it.

The sad story of a philandering master and his spurned male companion...
Tall, dark and handsome Manos is the satanic version of Hugh Hefner complete with the ever-present robe and scantily-clad harem of interchangeable women of low morals... he flaunts his cheap, gullible trophy wives in the face of his lovable sidekick.
He is a cruel and unfit master; abusive! Belittling!
Why does Manos continue to court susceptible ingenues when he has a perfectly good ManSlave at home?
One cannot help but feel sympathy and a freakish attraction to the exotic yet subtle Torgo. The big knees, the stuttering voice, the floppy hat, and the utter eroticism of his manservant status...
When I found out he was actually supposed to be a SATYR (insert squeal of delight here!), I wept at the yummy thought of brushing his furry goat-like legs, polishing his hooves, trimming his beard, even flea-dipping him if necessary...
But instead, our godly goat is led like a lamb to the slaughter :(
Curse you Manos Hnds of Fate for robbing me of this fantasy!
WHY, MANOS? WHY?
