This is one of those movies that's guaranteed to amaze anyone you introduce it to, and it's so little known that you have plenty of opportunities to do so. This article doesn't even mention what I thought to be the most surreal scene, the roller skaters with the siamese beard. No further explanation needed, if that piques your interest you should watch the movie. It's one of those films that the entire time you watch it, you just think "How could they make this? Why would they make this? Was the world ever really so different that this seemed OK?" It will make you question if you can ever understand the way the world was before you were born.

"The torrent by which I was able to view the film, after all, beheld these download instructions: 1. eat lots of acid, 2. fire up in your favorite media player, 3. enjoy!"

I mean, that's the obvious choice, but proceed with caution.

If you enjoy this sort of thing, I highly recommend Alejandro Jodorowky's The Holy Mountain[1], which is both much weirder and far more profound than The 5,000 Fingers.

If you find yourself liking The Holy Mountain I'd recommend Jodorowsky's other masterpieces: El Topo and Santa Sangre.
