    Has anyone else had the (mis)fortune to view this piece of cinema?
    http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060666/
    Many people claim that Plan 9 From Outer Space is the worst film of all time.
    Manos makes it look 2001: A Space Oddyssey.
    Words cannot describe how shockingly inept this film is. It tells the story of a family who wind up in a hotel run by goat-man Torgo and his "master". Comedy follows.
    If you wish to view this film or you are a masochist of some description, the Mystery Science Theatre version makes it slightly more bearable. Worth a watch to make you appreciate how excellent every other film ever made is.

    PS make sure to read the trivia page on imdb - really makes you appreciate how bad this film truly is.

    I've seen the MST3K version of 'Manos'. It truly is the worst excuse for a film that I've ever seen. I had a headache after watching it. The Master would not approve.

    That said, Torgo is the greatest villainous film sidekick ever and the only one who has his own theme tune AFAIK.

    Torgo's introduction - The Torgo 'theme' appears at 4:35.
    Torgo's getting freaky.
    "Torgo's pizza" from the MST3K episode.
    MST3K: Torgo returns with the drinks (9 episodes later....).

    When talking about the goat man (the fact that he is goat like is never actually pointed out in the film, for some reason) you cannot forget this wonderful action scene (fast foward to around 5:45)

    I'm watching it now, I'd rather the original though coz those geeks really annoy me... The film is pretty damn bad but the worst ever..? I dunno, moments are particularly unbearable such as Tongo or whatever his name is walking to the trunk to get the families bags while that suspenseful music plays, SERIOUSLY nto scaring me...
