    • Trivia
      Santiago Segura has claimed that the inspiration for this movie was Cobra (1986), that he conceived as a parody of the 80s action movies. In fact, the own title is a spoof of Stallone's movie, since then in Spain Cobra was titled as "Cobra, el brazo fuerte de la ley" (Cobra, the strong arm of the law).
    • Goofs

      • Rafi: You and me?
      • Torrente: Of course!
      • Rafi: Now?
      • Torrente: For fun. You stroke me and I stroke you. Just to relax, no queer shit. Nothing queer.
