Santiago Segura's Torrente is the sort of character you either love or really, really don't. Fat, racist, misogynist, and virtually every other kind of 'ist' you can throw at him the character is pretty much the definition of lowbrow comedy but this particular brand of lowbrow comedy has spawned an international sensation now responsible for three feature films and a far reach into other mediums and a fanbase that includes the likes of Guillermo Del Toro and John Landis.
And Segura is bringing him back. In 3D. The fourth Torrente film is now in post production and promises to be every bit as crass as the first three, with the additional dimension opening up all sorts of new possibilities to offend. Here's the official synopsis:
And Segura is bringing him back. In 3D. The fourth Torrente film is now in post production and promises to be every bit as crass as the first three, with the additional dimension opening up all sorts of new possibilities to offend. Here's the official synopsis:
Our hero Torrente is hit by the GFC. Living in squalid conditions is forced to accept a \'murder job\'. Torrente recruits some staff to help him with this job and he finds out he is being used as a scapegoat and before he can notice he is imprisoned for a crime he did not commit. In prison his obsession is to escape in order to clear his name. Therefore he invents a plan inspired on one of his favorite movies \'Escape to Victory\' (Aka Victory) and organizes a football match between the Prison Security Staff and the prisoners. During the game the idea is to escape with his colleagues through a tunnel. The tunnel collapses and seems to be impossible to escape, but leaving with a choir from an interprovincial tournament will be the perfect vehicle to get Torrente out of prison. Once outside he starts his revenge mission searching for the man who sent him to prison, businessman Ernesto Rocamora.
