Torrente 3: The Protector

A former policeman enlists his nerdy friend to help bust drug traffickers moving heroin through a Chinese restaurant.

For this second film in the cult comedy series Torrente takes our fat police officer from Madrid to Marbella in Spain to investigate a villain’s plot to destroy the city with a missile. This James Bond style slapstick comedy became the most successful box-office film in Spanish film history beating out only the first Torrente film.

The rude, lewd and crude Spanish ex-police officer Torrente finds himself facing jail time. Can he survive a twisted irony that places him where he has put so many others, both guilty and innocent?

Crooked cop Torrente gets out of jail in the year 2018 to find a different Spain from the one he knew.

Years have passed since his last adventure, but José Luis Torrente, the most politically incorrect former cop in Spain, still sees himself as a national hero.
