Origin

The origin of Torgo comes from a famous cult movie known as Manos: The Hands of Fate. The Torgo character is played by the actor John Reynolds , and yes, he hasn’t been in any movies since then.

The character of Torgo started to become popular when the show Mystery Science Theater 3000 (Also known as MST3K) debuted it on their show.

The Video

Clips

MST3K made a sketch.

If you can believe it, there was even a movie, called Hotel Torgo

Usage

At this point, I’m not positive what the usage of Torgo is. I have found a website, A 4chanarchive thread, and I’m sure that there are many other uses.

Torgo’s theme seems to be a part of it as well.

Any other information will be greatly honored

i found it really sad about john reynolds—-he killed himself because of what he perceived his poor performance—which is comical but he tried to be a real actor whereas everyone else in the movie were just friends of the ridiculous director—-not to say that john reynolds was particularly good in the movie, but most actors and actress that are somewhat known have at least one terrible film. the movie in itself is quite horrible and there wouldn’t have been info available on wikipedia had it not been for mst3k—-here is a link. i found it interesting, and absolutely hate the director/actor/asshole that didn’t know what the hell he was doing.
