    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Cast 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.
    • Goofs
      The female teenager in the car misses her cue, looks directly into the camera, then delivers her line.
    • Quotes

      Torgo: I am Torgo. I take care of the place while the Master is away.

    • Crazy credits
      The End?
    • Alternate versions
      The 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.

    Oh, the Humanity
    I should note here that I sort of like bad movies. If it's amusing and campy, I'll cut it a break.

    But Manos is different.

    My god. What can I say about a movie so bad that it makes Plan 9 From Outer Space look like Casablanca? What can I say about a movie that has endless looped scenes of driving, the worst evil henchman in movie history, the lamest dialouge this side of my first grade hebrew school play, a movie that seems to have put together by people with utter contempt for the audience's intelligence? All I can say is this: it seems The Master's prayers to Satan have been answered. This movie is pure hell.
