Torrente 2: Mission in Marbella[2] (Spanish: Torrente 2: misión en Marbella) is a 2001 Spanish black comedy action film. It is a sequel to Torrente, the Dumb Arm of the Law, and, like the first installment, it was written and directed by Santiago Segura, who takes the leading role of José Luis Torrente. It surpassed its predecessor as the highest-grossing Spanish film of all time.[3]

Plot

Torrente has moved to Marbella, where, after being wiped out of the money he had gained, he has returned to private investigation. But in one of his cases he gets involved in the middle of a villain's missile plot to destroy the city and his own uncle's blackmail operation... and he knows nothing.
