Segura himself undertook an ingenious and intensive promotion program for the film, ensuring a permanent presence in specialized media. The film managed to compete with big budget films such as "Titanic". The reason for this success is the creation of a patriotic film icon, which many do not like, but which easily connected with young viewers in large urban middle layers, which make up the core of film audiences in Spain. A major success which, however, also convinced a handful of critics by his humor, sometimes vulgar and excessive. The film won two of the three Goya awards for which it was nominated. When Tony Leblanc went to collect his, as best supporting actor, the audience greeted him with a standing ovation, also dedicated to Segura as the person responsible for his comeback. The director, upon being granted the award for best new director, paid to Javier Fesser 100,000 pesetas he had bet, convinced that the winner was to be Fesser for The Miracle of P. Tinto. In 1998, with Segura himself as a writer and Jose Antonio Calvo as artist a comic adaptation of the film was as published in the magazine El Vibora. In 2001 Virtual Toys launched "Torrente: The game" for PC, PlayStation 2 and Xbox, based on the first two installments of the saga and, in 2005, along with Virgin Play, "", based on the third part. Segura lent his image and voice for the videogame. In late 2009 Santiago Segura and gaming company Ludicus, create a slot machine based in the Torrente movies. Several films have subsequently been inspired in Torrente, such as "R2 and the case of the headless corpse" or "Vivancos 3, if you like it we will make the first two", but achieved less success from audiences and critics. Conversations for an American remake that would be produced by Chris Bender and could be directed by Oliver Stone, who made a cameo in the third installment of the saga, took place in 2010. It was announced that the film would be produced by New Line Cinema, to be written by Alec Berg, Jeff Schaffer and David Mandel, known for the TV series "Seinfeld", and that the main character would be played by Sacha Baron Cohen. Thomas Langman, the son of Claude Berri, was also interested through his company La Petite Reine in a remake in France.
