‘Super Troopers’ at 25: A Quarter-Century of Mustaches and Maple Syrup — and a New Film
Broken Lizard returns with a raunchy wedding caper that mixes Farva’s engagement chaos, a drug-ring mystery, and recurring law-enforcement gags.
- Searchlight Pictures released "Super Troopers 3" yesterday, reuniting comedy troupe Broken Lizard as radio operator Rod Farva prepares to marry Thorny's sister amid a drug investigation.
- Formed at Colgate University, Broken Lizard broke through with 2001's "Super Troopers," and returns 25 years later as members approach Vermont's mandatory highway patrol retirement age of 57.
- Thorny schemes to sabotage Farva's engagement while the squad investigates a drug ring, with critics noting the film retains the group's "lovably crass dynamic" through rapid-fire situational humor.
- Director Jay Chandrasekhar suggested the franchise could continue for years, noting "NYPD Blue" made 250 episodes; the film ends with a teaser for another installment.
- Alongside blockbusters "Spider-Man: Brand New Day" and "The Odyssey," "Super Troopers 3" competes for theatrical attention, attempting to hold its niche against larger-budget productions.
