Line 11:
The film languished in obscurity for nearly thirty years until it was discovered by the producers of ''[[Mystery Science Theater 3000]]'', which riffed ''Manos'' in a 1993 episode and proved Warren's suggestion right. For tropes from the episode, see [[Mystery Science Theater 3000 (TV)/Recap/S04 E24 Manos the Hands of Fate|here]].
For more laughs at the film's expense, see [[The Agony Booth (Website)|The Agony Booth]]'s [http://www.agonybooth.com/recaps/_Manos__The_Hands_of_Fate_1966.aspx recap] or I-Mockery's [http://www.i-mockery.com/minimocks/manos/ review]. Thanks to its newfound popularity, ''Manos'' spawned a Broadway musical (''Manos: Rock Opera of Fate'') and a 2004 documentary (''[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0422433/ Hotel Torgo]''). [[Rifftrax]]
In 2011, the original 16mm workprint of ''Manos'' [http://manosinhd.com was discovered], and the person who found it established a [[Kickstarter]] [http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1325482813/manos-the-restoration campaign] to help fund a complete high-definition restoration of the movie from the pristine-condition workprint (it raised almost 400% more than the initial goal). A [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uae58589aec side-by-side comparison] of the restoration illustrates the dramatic difference between the restored version and the currently-available DVD release.
