    This film is horrible!!!!!!

    His first movie was funny, the second is not so impressive, but this film is really awful, is full of topics with situations with no logic at all, and the script... this film don't know what is it. Yes, the explosions are more realistic than ever, and the specials appearances of very know people from Spain and from outside make is almost entertainment, but this famous people are from footballs players to humorist, trough Spanish singers to ...Oliver Stone!!!! and most of them simply don't know how to act if front a camera, but it seems that is not a problem to Santiago Segura to include a full handful in this movie.

    A joke that make Santiago Segura more rich than he is ever now

    Totally superfluous!!!

    Still Torrente, but with bigger budget...

    This is yet another movie in the Torrente series of world wide famous (apparently) Santiago Segura. As a third installment in the series, as Torrente 3: El protector, the one-man-show Segura demonstrates once again that he has what it takes to make an audience laugh.

    Though his take on comedy is very subjective, as he continues to flesh out his character on-screen, Torrente, who is now back on the Police Force and takes on the mission of protecting a foreign diplomat and her entourage.

    The humor is dirty and very vulgar, but if you can get past that, or embrace it even, there is something more, something deeper than just cheap laughs. You can always see Segura's characters on the streets, in schools, bars, and whatnot. They are real, without any sort of care for what society thinks of them. Segura's films are more hilarious social studies than actual films. The drunk next door, the gun obsessed loser, the slutty cousin, all these types of characters add to his films greatly.

    The 'bad taste' montages are a big plus to see this movie. Espanol, de Espania !

    Torrente 3: El Protector - Best Spanish comic movie 2005

    How to manage a legion of actors from TV channels as TVE 1, Antena 3, Tele 5 and Canal Sur. With actor and directors world wide known as Yvonne Sció, Fabio Testi, Oliver Stone and Guillermo del Toro in such a magisterial way with an edition of smooth transition but at the same time dynamic. With some quotes outrageous that look like that they were written by the magazine "Mad Magazine". Woman take out from "Playboy" and spin offs from famous movies. With the best adult humor. A movie to watch several times to don't lose details of it. This man knows how to make a movie to justify the worth of buying a ticket to go and see it. Best foreign comic movie for 2005.

    Torrente 3 - One was enough

    A film that succeeds in reaching new depths previously unheard of. There are similarities between this and Austin Powers: Goldmember in that the both concepts were already exhausted and could only try to entertain by stooping even lower. Torrente 3 surpassed Goldmember by a long shot.

    The storyline, that barely exists, is used to exhibit Benny Hill style scenes with topless models, so nothing new, but raping an unconscious drug-addict, from behind, on two separate occasions, really makes you wonder who in their sane minds thought these were acceptable comedy moments. Other 'highlights' such as a parody of 9/11, illegal immigrant extortion, famous footballers (+ one Hollywood director) cinema cameos brawling in a brothel, says it all. The novelty of this charmingly degenerate character was spent after the first film, but to believe it could live on for a third is a cheap joke too far.

    Torrente 1 rules

    I like the first one because I laughed a lot by watching it. It was really something different to what we're used in my country (Hollywood BS mostly) and jokes were fresh... Second and third movies had to come (due to 1st one's popularity) and even when the jokes were not very original, I think the character is. Actually, if you take the 3 Torrente movies and compare them to any Hollywood-made pseudo comedy/action/Wayans Bros type of movies, Torrente 3 it's a blast. What's good about Torrente movies is that he still keeps identity (director hasn't tried to "globalize" the character, it's still a ruined "private eye" from Madrid). Of course, jokes are repeated all over the movies but aren't they much more fun than those jokes used again and again in lousy movies like scary movie or naked brain (I mean naked gun)...

    • Trivia
      Santiago Segura thought of Eduardo García for the role of the young Torrente after working with García on the pilot of Aquí no hay quien viva (2003), when he noticed not only that the kid could physically pass for a younger version of him but also that he made a solid impression of the character.
