No self-respecting cult-movie collector can truly call himself one without owning this horror clunker on their shelves. "Manos: The Hands of Fate," made famous after receiving heaps of ridicule as a feature on "Mystery Science Theater 3000," is one of the most famous bad movies of all time. Its extreme-low-budget look, sound and feel have made it a must-see for all B-movie lovers. It's so beloved that one of its biggest fans hopes to pick up where the film's vision left off by giving it the sequel treatment.
"We're doing it because we love it," said Rupert Tailbot Munch, the film's director, writer and producer. "We're doing it on our own dime. We're doing it for fun and to see how far it can go. It's going to be a testament to the creativity and the craziness of all the people involved."
Munch, who does a spot-on impersonation of the movie's shuffling servant Torgo and plans to play him in the sequel, said plans are still in the early-pre-production phase.
The plot would take place in the present, some 40 years after the original film. He also said he plans to shoot the film at some of the original locations in El Paso, Texas, and include some of the original cast members. He also hinted at a major character actor (please be Bruce Campbell) who might be interested in joining the cast, but he couldn't confirm his/her identity or involvement yet.
He wants his potential audience to realize that he doesn't plan on treating the sequel as a straightforward comedy or horror movie.
"It's going to be completely different from what people are expecting," Munch said. "I wouldn't be surprised if there was a musical number or two."

I'm 50 years old, been watching horror for most of those years, always thought 'Attack of the Killer Tomato's' was the worst. I've seen and own a lot of B movies...never even heard of 'Manos:The Hand of Fate.'

OMG!!! You've got to see this exceptionally horrible amatuer film!!! I read that only two actors got paid. The little girl got a bike and the dog got a bag of dog food...this is really bad.

This is why you shouldn't make sequels. There is no reason whatsoever for anyone with any kind of intelligence to make a sequel to the worst movie ever made! I don't care if the brain-dead moron is doing this "for fun". I will not waste my time and my money on this piece of crap. Thank goodness for MST3K. I'll stick to that version, thank you.

Because these movies are so bad, it makes them good and they become cult classics (i.e. "Plan Nine From Outer Space"). Why make it a remake? Our city has renovated an old theater to near original pristine condition, and is showing double feature old classics on the big screen, including a horror film night with the old classics; we dont need remakes. And yeah, they are doing a booming business a year later.

I remember as a kid going to the local single screen theater during the summer and watching an episode of an old serial movie from the 40's or 50's followed by either a Tarzan or Gidget movie. The cost was 5 Coca-Cola bottle caps and all the kids would scour the town looking for caps. Ahh Memories..................

doe's anyone remember wild in the streets, it was made in the mid 60's , they wanted no one past 30 years of age, they stuck i think lsd in the water supply's. and at the end the little ten year old , after being snubed by a jerky 18 year old said were going to make it 10 years old. it was during i think the hippie rising, we need to bring back protest instead of talk ,and fire all politishions. WAKE UP AMERICA.
