By 1988, the explosion of El Destape had already cooled. The early 80s were dominated by softer fare like La Lola nos lleva al huerto or the National series. However, the rise of home video (VHS) allowed for "harder" or more niche European films to survive.
The film's resurgence in popularity is due to the "Euro cult" revival on streaming platforms like FlixOlé and physical media labels such as Vinegar Syndrome or Cauldron Films , who have started scanning Spanish negatives for preservation. Collectors call it a "gap film"—the missing link between the commedia sexy all'italiana (Italian sexy comedy) and the cine de barrio (neighborhood cinema) of Spain.
