Manos: The Hands of Fate

I just got done watching a terrible terrible movie Manos: The Hands of Fate. Now, this movie is only terrible on its own, as part of a Mystery Science Theater 3000, it is AMAZING. We've started watching MST3K episodes as part of a weekly, Thursday ritual. I approve.

Here is some trivia from this stellar box-office hit:

- the movie was filmed with a handheld camera that could only record 32 seconds of film at a time. The film was shot without sound; all lines were later dubbed by only three people.
- only two members of the cast were paid for their performance were Jackey Newman (a three year old girl) and the Doberman. Jackey got a bicycle and the Doberman got a bag of dog food, every other member of the cast was to by paid by a cut of the movie's profits, which, of course, never materialized.
-The word "Manos" is Spanish for "hands". The title literally reads "Hands: The Hands of Fate."

In other words, every aspect of this movie is brilliant.
