Who is Torgo?

This is Torgo. The man, the myth, the knees. Go here: Torgo.org for more info. The short story is that he's a character from the worst movie ever made, "Manos, The Hands of Fate." It's the typical coming of age story in which a family stumbles upon a remote 1 story, 2 bedroom (presumably 1.5 bath) house in the desert that seems to be some sort of low-budget gateway to hell. Torgo is the caretaker while the "Master" is away. The Master looks like Frank Zappa and has a harem of undead wives who like to sit around the campfire and argue, sometimes wrestle.

Yeah, it's pretty bad. But Torgo holds the film together. He has his own theme music, his own monster trait (big knees), and was played by an actor who was reportedly on LSD the whole time. The website noted above has video clips and more pictures, so I won't bother with that here.

I beg to differ with you - "Little Marines" is the worst movie ever made.
