Editorial Reviews

Ever since RiffTrax Live: Manos the Hands of Fate aired in theaters nationwide, people have been asking us when it will be available for home viewing. Seriously, non-stop. Leaving notes under our windshield wipers. Lurking outside our windows at night, softly whistling the Torgo theme. Polite, perfectly friendly facebook comments. All KINDS of crazy ways! For those who missed it in theaters, this is a completely new riff of Manos the Hands of Fate, the Texas-fertilizer-salesman-directed classic made famous by Mystery Science Theater 3000®. All new jokes, same old Torgo. See Mike, Kevin and Bill riff it all on stage in front of a live audience at the Belcourt Theatre in Nashville!

"Satan here; this movie is not my doing!!"

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2018

Verified Purchase

This movie was one of my favorites when it was riffed through MST3K, so when I was finally able to get the Rifftrax Live version I put it on as soon as I got it and enjoyed every minute of it.
For those who are unfamiliar with the movie, it is about a family of vacationers who are trying to get to a vacation resort that does not exist, instead they find themselves at this dilapitated old house with a creepy caretaker named Torgo and an evil master of the house with multiple wives. The master wants to take the two females of our hapless trio as his next two wives but Torgo wants one for himself.
Meanwhile, the master's other wives fight over whether they should accept the two new wives into their group, especially since one of them is a child. The master gets the upper hand, deals with Torgo and has his two new wives... with others on the way.
This movie also has 3 shorts the first is "Welcome back, Norman" about a man trapped in an airport parking lot. The second is a man drinking a glass of prune juice. The third is called "At your fingertips: Cylinders" depicts a kid making a robot out of toilet paper rolls.
All elements are proly riffed by Michael J. Nelson, Kevin Murphy & Bill Corbett which includes riffs like "Satan here; this movie is not my doing!!" (when a snake appears during an escape attempt) and during the wrestling match between the wives "This is my vision of Hell, only it would be with the women from 'The View'."

“The very definition of horror: Jeff Foxworthy in a muumuu!”

Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2017

MST3K sent up MANOS, THE HANDS OF FATE back in 1992 and saved it from the obscurity it so richly deserved. In 2012 the RiffTrax crew took it on again (with all-new insults, we are told) for one of their live performances in Nashville. Texan Harold “Hal” Warren wrote, directed, and plays the hapless Papa in this 1966 vanity production who strands himself, his wife and daughter in a mysterious house deep in the West Texas scrub. A hobbled and repulsive young man, Torgo (some people believe he was meant to be a satyr), keeps house, which is ruled by “The Master,” who keeps a polygamous harem and lives to serve “Manos.”

This is an astonishingly bad film, an imdB 1.9, perhaps the worst ever to hit the Mistie machine. Acting is amateurish at best, shots are held too long or terminated too soon, film quality is wretched, and continuity all but nonexistent. A necking couple in a sports car on the road to the satanic enclave serve no real purpose anyone can comprehend. Cat-fights break out among the harem for no real purpose except titillation, and no one can take “The Master” seriously in his flaming-hands get-up. Mike, Kevin and Bill have a great time with all this and play to an appreciative audience. The show includes a "Norm" short, a short that shows children implausibly fashioning complex toys from old oatmeal boxes and toilet-tissue tubes, and a vintage prune-juice commercial. All in all, highly recommended. Viewing is free to Prime members.

Best enjoyed Live and with fellow victims

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2020

It's a truth universally acknowledged, and one the MST3K/Rifftrax gang long tapped into, that a terrible movie is best enjoyed with company to suffer through it. And Manos Live is a wonderful comfort. Hell, it doesn't even feel like they're really tearing Manos apart, it's more just Bill, Kevin, and Mike returning to a classic MST3K friend, Torgo, and brought us all along with them to meet him.

--And, it's heartwarming how much glee the audience takes watching sadsack Norman just get crapped on by life--

If there is anything distracting, it's that as a long time MST3K fan, I've seen the original Manos episode so many times that I kept expecting the same old jokes, only to be surprised when the gang went somewhere different. It's a credit to the magic of fertilizer salesman Hal Warren that his terrible movie is the gift that keeps on giving, decades later.

Great riffs but Manos outtakes are necessary for Manos completists

Reviewed in the United States on January 18, 2018

This DVD will appeal to a few groups of people, but likely the groups intersect. I'm a huge fan of Manos, but it is because of MST3K. I have been following the progress of the restoration of the original work print of Manos since it was discovered a few years ago and I DEFINITELY recommend buying the blu-ray version (which doesn't include rifftrax or MST3K commentary).

So the big things about this release. You get to see Manos being riffed with new jokes. You get to see Manos as it was seen by that small group of folks in that theatre in Texas.

The biggest feature of this DVD is you get to see the outtakes from the film! This isn't even available on the blu-ray release, inexplicably. To be honest, this was one of the main reasons I bought it.

The new riffs are good and hearing the audience response is great, but if you are a fan of the MST3K one, you'll find yourself wanting to hear those jokes often.

Anyway, definitely recommend this for people who likely already know what they're in for

I laughed all the way through!

Yes, I know; why get a RIFFTRAX version of the movie that made the greatest MST3K episode ever -- why mess with a classic? RIFFTRAX humor is actually different from the old MST3K; RIFFTRAX is more rapid-fire, and is aimed at a different audience: a live audience -- there's no situational comedy involved. Of course, "MANOS" the HANDS OF FATE is known as the worst movie ever made, and just begs for jokes, jokes, and more jokes.

The short about cylinders at the beginning might be the funniest bit in the whole video, but it was really nice to see Manos with new jokes. FAP FAP FAP FAP FAP. hahahahaha

Instructional for you first-time vacationers...

I had my trepidations when I cued this up. I remembered the film from the Joel era of MST3K. I shouldn't have worried. These were the The Boys at their finest. Disco Torgo and "You make me feel like dancin' " was the line that sent it over the top. The whole treatment was brilliant and goofy, totally irreverent, wacky and trashy. Everything you look for in a bad movie riff treatment and more. Roll film, roll on floor.

Hands: The Manos Of Fate?!? WTF did I just watch?

Reviewed in the United States on July 9, 2017

The RiffTrax team had me laughing throughout, and the film itself is definitely worse than anything Ed Wood ever made - no doubt about it. Ed's films had charm. This film has an uncomfortable quality to it that is simply beyond description. Not exactly charm, more like harm.
