Torrente 3: The Protector (2005)

The film's portrayal of LGBTQ+ themes is predominantly negative, utilizing homophobic humor and stereotypes for comedic effect. The protagonist's prejudices are often central to the jokes, presenting queer identity as a source of mockery rather than dignity or complexity. Little to no positive or affirming elements are present in these depictions.

The film includes a transsexual character, Cuenca, whose depiction is overwhelmingly problematic. The character is used for crude humor, reinforcing negative stereotypes and lacking any dignity or complexity. The narrative's treatment of transsexual identity is a source of mockery, resulting in a net negative portrayal.

The film portrays its protagonist, a nominal Catholic, as deeply hypocritical and morally corrupt. It uses his cultural association with Christianity to highlight his depravity and lack of genuine faith, without offering any counterbalancing positive portrayals of the religion or its adherents.

The film portrays Islam primarily through the bigoted and xenophobic lens of its protagonist, Torrente. However, the narrative clearly satirizes and condemns Torrente's prejudice, positioning the audience to reject his views rather than validate negative stereotypes about Islam.
