Movie Summary  Short: Hired! Part 2:  In the conclusion of this gripping sales motivation film for Chevrolet, a drunk old man with a used handkerchief on his head sets his loudmouth son straight about getting his lazy, stupid salesmen to sell more units (see Glengarry Glen Ross).  Movie: Manos: The Hands Of Fate:  Far and away the most loathsome, repulsive, unpleasantest, vilest, ickyest, blechiest film to come along in MST3K's rich film history. This film was made by Texas fertilizer salesman Harold P. Warren—a mere coincidence?!?! A couple and their young daughter on vacation end up at the lodge of goatman Torgo, the thighful assistant of "The Master." Torgo and the Master operate a bed and cult-fest, complete with satanic rituals in the backyard. Torgo makes spastic passes at the misses, and Peppy the poodle is putrefied. Please, please—don't give away the incredible secret ending of Manos: The Hands Of Fate. — Mary Jo Pehl Host Segments  Prologue:  Joel has installed a module in Tom and Crow that makes them believe that everything he says, thinks, or does is absolutely brilliant.  Invention:  Frank and Forrester invent a chocolate bunny guillotine, inspired by the inclination to bite the heads off chocolate bunnies. Now there's no chocolate mess! On the Satellite of Love, the Car-Tooner mixes up various dull cartoons to create a funny cartoon.  Segment 2:  Joel, Tom, and Crow go "on vacation" with scenery blue-screened in the background. Redneck cop Gypsy pulls them over. Frank apologizes for the movie, as well he should.  Segment 3:  Joel, Crow, and Tom discuss what makes a monster—is it exaggerated physical features, like the thighs on Torgo—or might a big pinkie finger be just as horrifying?  Segment 4:  Joel is "The Master," and Crow is a horrifying hellbeast. Dr. Forrester apologizes for the movie, as well he might.  Segment 5:  Crow and Servo dress in diaphanous gowns and wrestle, much to Joel's horror. In Deep 13, Torgo (Mike Nelson) delivers a pizza to Dr. Forrester and Frank. It takes a really, really long time.  Stinger:  A shot which lingers a little toooo long on our, um, heroine. Reflections This movie was like watching a train wreck—we couldn't bear to watch it but we couldn't look away. There were many times during the writing process when we simply couldn't make comments, so caught up in the wretchedness of this movie were we. We were haunted. Manos became our standard by which all others are measured. By the way, the translation of Manos is 'hands,' so the title is "Hands: The Hands Of Fate." — Mary Jo Pehl
