Trivia

While widely known as "Torrente 2: Misión en Marbella", which is the title used in posters, DVD covers, and all promotional material, the actual on-screen title reads "Misión in Marbella" only, using before it the James Bond-like formula "Santiago Segura es Torrente en..." ("Santiago Segura is Torrente in...). The only entry in the series to actually have Torrente in the title is the first one, Torrente, el brazo tonto de la ley (1998).

Goofs

(at around 17 mins) During the scene about the bananas, the bowl containing them repeated disappears and reappears between shots - there's even a metal cover placed on it in one shot.

Quotes

[subtitled version]
[first lines]
José Luis Torrente: I got to the Costa del Sol about 3 years ago. I had some cash set aside, and after dedicating my life to law enforcement, I moved to Marbella to take some time off for myself.

Crazy Credits

Main actor and director Santiago Segura sings parts of the ending songs but, in the credits, he is listed as "José Luis Torrente" (the fictional character he plays in the movie - and in the song). At the very ending of the credits, Segura says (not sings) "¿Y éste quién es? Ya no queda nadie" ("And who the heck is that one? There's nobody left"), meaning that all the audience has left the cinema but one person.

User Reviews

Super

Torrente is back in this one. He is great as political-incorrect detective scumbag. I think this one is even better than the first one. And the first one was great too. The good acting, beautiful colours and incorrect jokes has resulted in a first class rude comedy. It's not recomendable for women with a bad taste of humour. This movie is my favourite one. Rumours say that Torrente 3 will soon be made...Can't wait to see that one. Very lousy is the fact that Torrente 2 is hard to get in the Netherlands. I had to buy it from a Spanish internet seller. At the moment Santiago Segura is the best that Europe has to offer..!!!!!!
