You chose a bad thread title. Noone ever needs to ask why Manos should be saved, it's something you just do. You don't need a reason.  Congrats though.

Tagline suggestion time! The Worst Movie of All Time never looked better! (not really the worst IMO, but it's the gold standard for bad)

And I thought getting Mike Nelson to quote me in a question thread was awesome. Seriously, though, this project owns bones and I will be in line day one to get my copy.

Late arrival but goddamn I would love to buy a copy of this when it's done. It is one of my favorite films for all it's flaws. The difference in the versions is amazing!

I'll add in that I'd be in for a copy as well. Probably two, as I have a non-goon buddy who'd be all over this. Awesome find. I'd love to see Rifftrax or Cinematic Titanic work with it. Better yet, some kind of combination, super-group riffing special because it's THAT movie. I can dream.

No love for Frank? Sheesh. No offense to anyone but I always laugh way harder at, and buy every release of, Cinematic Titanic. Let them host the team-up.

It'd be nice if they all agreed to come back and officially do it as Mystery Science Theater again.

With Mike Nelson's appearance and Ben Solo's silence since, I hope that means some serious talks with Legend Films have started.

The only problem I see with this is that the film doesn't have a soundtrack. Maybe that other 16mm print does and they can transfer it or something?

If there was ever a film for there to be any sort of collaboration/reunion with Cinematic Titanic and Rifftrax, this is the film it should be on.

Found out about this through ways of Roger Ebert. Shouldn't all goons have known about this already? Someone needs to get a forums banner ad up for this. Manos is the ultimate example of the "it's so bad, it's good" film. Like a train wreck, you know you shouldn't like it but you can't help but want to watch it. It's a movie you can't hate, only love. I will support this project with some Kickstarter bucks when appropriate and the purchase of any eventual Bluray release. Because goddamn, this is awesome!

Oh my god, this is so awesome. You've got a winning project on your hands. I'm pretty sure it has a much wider appeal than you were thinking. I would definitely like to have a HD copy of what is generally regarded as one of the worst films ever made in my collection (the funny thing is now...from the look of those stills, maybe it's not). Holy moly! With the MST3k guys involved, I cannot wait to see what might come of this. Bluray with multiple audio tracks...Original MST3k commentary, new rifftracks, extras?

Man, what I wouldn't give to convince my company to do a 3D conversion of this film. I can't stop giggling at seeing an actual Bluray cover that says "Manos: The Hands of Fate, digitally remastered in high definition 3D!" If a short HD clip ever gets posted in the future after the scanning is complete, I'll probably force the guys here to run it through the conversion process, just to see how it turns out.

I would hate it if the two groups got into a battle over the film. I definitely have my favorite (CT) and would punch my mother to be able to see them riff the film live, but I think both groups should eventually do it if it's possible.

Normally I'm dead set against 3D conversion, but this is one case where I would be in favor of it, just for the sake of stupidity.

Allow me to be the millionth person to say "holy poo poo this is amazing take all of my money." The MST3K version of Manos is a treasure most dear to me, and having the opportunity to watch Torgo stumble awkwardly around a car in high definition is far too amazing to pass up. Also goddamn why has this thread not been stickied over in GBS, yet? I only found out about this while browsing twitter!

Buying a copy even though I don't have a blu-ray player. It would be criminal to not support a project like this.

Satellite News has an update about the other Manos project going on at torgolives.com. Apparently they start filming the sequel they've been talking about forever next week.  Anywho...I'm way more interested in this project than some sequel, and I'd love to contribute financially, but sadly that's not an option at this time. I would, however, love to buy a copy on blu-ray to watch when I eventually get one of them new fangled devices.
