Manos: The Hands of Fate creates the perfect opportunity for Rifftrax, which is why this movie had already been riffed in Mystery Science Theatre 3000. The filmmakers of Manos truly did embarrass themselves, and Bill Corbett, Kevin Murphy, and Michael Nelson rip into them for their truly horrible filmmaking. There are many scenes in this film that are ripe for riffing, including:
-two teenagers who never take a break from making out in their car
-parents who lose their only daughter right in front of their eyes
-the never ending fight between Manos's wives
-the inability of the parents to run without tripping
-the policemen who give up in their search after taking a couple of steps
-literally any scene with Torgo
With such prime material, Rifftrax and MST3000 fans should definitely watch this riff. While their riff of Manos isn't quite as funny as their best riffs, such as Birdemic, it is still an above-average addition to Rifftrax. 7/10.
