Wiki.
Torrente, the Dumb Arm of the Law (Spanish: Torrente, el brazo tonto de la ley) is a 1998 Spanish dark comedy film written and directed by Santiago Segura, who stars as José Luis Torrente, a racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, and fascist former police agent. Characterized by its deliberately cartoonish humor, it proved to be a massive box office hit, and Torrente became part of Spanish contemporary popular culture.
This film won two Goya Awards and it became the highest-grossing film in the history of Spanish cinema, later surpassed by its sequel, (Torrente 2: Misión en Marbella). It also launched the Torrente film series by Santiago Segura, who directed the sequel, the third (Torrente 3: El protector), the fourth (Torrente 4: Lethal Crisis) and fifth (Torrente 5: Operación Eurovegas) films. The last two were shot in stereoscopic 3D.
