Tom Neyman, 80, played The Master in the original
"Manos: The Hands of Fate" and will re-create his role in the planned sequel.
It's a simple Spanish word that means "hands," but to those who grew up with "Mystery Science Theater 3000," the word "manos" means something else.
"Manos: The Hands of Fate," made in 1966 by a Texas fertilizer salesman, is a legendarily awful movie about a vacationing family that stumbles upon the creepy Valley Lodge and ends up falling into a cult of ladies in gauzy underwear and a guy with a hand fetish.
It was filmed with a silent camera, so all the dialogue is dubbed. One actress broke her leg, so her character was reduced to that of a randy teen making out in a car. Poor henchman Torgo (late actor John Reynolds) was supposed to be a satyr, but just looked like a sad dude with giant knees.
"Manos" would have died a quiet death but for its 1993 discovery by "Mystery Science Theater 3000." The cult comedy show famous for overlaying comic dialogue on bad movies catapulted it to bad-movie fame with a legendary episode. And in 2012, the three MST3K alums who formed a similar group, Rifftrax, aired "Manos" in hundreds of theaters around the US, with fresh jokes mocking the movie.
Now Jackey Neyman Jones, who played little Debbie in "Manos," is hoping to bring the infamous movie back with a Kickstarter campaign for a tongue-in-cheek sequel, "Manos Retus."
"Thanks to Mystery Science Theater 3000, 'Manos' has become this pop-culture phenomenon," Neyman Jones says on the Kickstarter page. "However, none of the original cast or crew ever got paid...and they haven't benefited from it since then. If you loved 'Manos,' this is your chance to give back just a little bit of that love."
As of Monday afteoon, she had raised close to $21,000 of her $24,000 goal, with eight days remaining in the campaign. If all unfolds as planned, five backers at the $2,000 level (that equals about £1,400 or AU$2,770) will even receive a walk-on part in the film, which is scheduled to be shot in weste Oregon later this year.
Jackey's father, Tom, now 80, played The Master in the original film, and has already filmed his scenes for the sequel. He appears in the witty Kickstarter video, delivering the infamous line "The Master approves."
Neyman Jones and director Tonjia Atomic say they're not trying to re-create "Manos" (and who could?), but are striving to make the "best film that we possibly can." And that may be the only time the word "best" and "Manos" are used in the same sentence.
