Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo is a 2005 American crime sex comedy film directed by Mike Bigelow from a screenplay by Rob Schneider, David Garrett, and Jason Ward.
The plot involves male prostitute Deuce Bigalow visiting his former pimp T.J. in Amsterdam, and looking for a murderer who is killing the greatest "man-whores" of Europe.
Former gigolo Deuce Bigalow, recently widowed after his wife Kate is killed in a shark attack, is invited by his former pimp T.J. to Amsterdam.
There, he learns that European gigolos are being murdered by a "Man-whore Killer" with T.J.'s employee Lil' Kim quitting to avoid being killed.
Deuce continues to investigate different women from Antoine's list including Lily, who speaks through an electrolarynx after a laryngectomy, and Svetlana, who has a penis for a nose after being raised in Chernobyl.
Deuce evacuates the building and engages in a sword fight with Gaspar, during which he mentions non-sexual romantic ways of pleasing a woman; his words move the crowd.
A post-script reveals that T.J. stops gay man-whoring and becomes a rapper called MC Extra Nipple where he didn't make any records and was shot several times.
The film also includes cameos by Elisabetta Canalis as a castle lady and Dutch actress Chantal Janzen as a Scandinavian porn star.
