Torrente, the Dumb Arm of the Law

1998

Torrente, the Dumb Arm of the Law 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 officer. Characterized by its deliberately cartoonish humor, it proved to be a massive box office hit, and Torrente became part of contemporary Spanish popular culture.
