Super Troopers Sequel

All Right Meow, Where Were We?

By TK | Posted Under Trade News | Comments (31)

Apparently, while out promoting the upcoming Broken Lizard film The Slammin’ Salmon (see the trailer here), the comedic troupe broke the news that not only are they developing a sequel to their 2001 underground hit Super Troopers, but that Brian Cox has agreed to return, they’re already on their third draft, and they’ve already secured the financing to make the picture. Which means this ain’t rumor, folks — Super Troopers 2 is happening.

I thought I’d be more excited than I am. I’m sure a name-calling-filled debate will rage in the comments about the original, but I say this without hyperbole: Super Troopers is one of the funniest fucking movies I’ve ever seen. The first time I saw it, I almost died. I’ve probably seen it 20 times by now, and it still kills me. If you have seen it and don’t find it funny, well, then I can’t help you. You’re clearly dead inside (Dustin) and I’d like to kick you in the junk (Rowles). I don’t understand how people (DustinfuckingRowles) don’t think it’s funny. Those people (peoplelikeDustin) should be beaten repeatedly about the head and face. I chose that header pic for them special.

Anyway, the reason I’m not too excited about it is that I think that Super Troopers was a bit of lightning in a bottle for the Broken Lizard boys. Club Dread had about 15 minutes of funny material, Beerfest was a movie that I tried really hard to love, but just didn’t (it’s funny, but not brilliantly so), and the upcoming The Slammin Salmon — well, I didn’t even smile during the trailer. BUT, then again, maybe the chemistry was just right in Super Troopers and they’ll be able to repeat it. Also, regarding The Slammin Salmon — the first time I saw the trailer for Super Troopers, I thought it was the stupidest looking movie ever, so who the hell knows what’s on the horizon for them.

And meow, a gift for you:

WOO HOO!

Agreed TK, although I think the first half of the movie is fucking amazing and it TOTALLY dragged in the second act.

The rest of the films that followed were just god-awful. I'm not getting my hopes up for the sequel, but this does give me an urge to spark up a bowl and watch the first 15 minutes. YOU BOYS LIKE MEXEECO?!

I KNEW there was a reason you're my favorite, TK, even though you'd murder me first chance you got.

The meow game is a really fun game to play. Particularly when you work in a pet supply store.

Yes this movie is awesome. I don't know how many times I've gotten high with friends and watched the opening scene of that movie and laughed my ass off.

"DO YOU BOYS LIKE MEXICO????"

My kids and I quote Supertroopers to each other all the time. What? It's not a kids movie? That's why I'm a good dad.

Meow, we all know Super Troopers was funny and we all knowmeow that the sequel will be funny.
It's going back to the roots of what made Broken Lizard famousmeow.
And if Brian Cox is on board, well meow, that is a formula for AWESOME.

Drop your coat and grab your toes, I'm gonna show you where the wild goose goes.

You know, I avoided Super Troopers for years, thinking it was going to be just stupid.

It was, but hilarious stupid. I'll see a sequel.

Super troopers was hilarious. If you didn't find it funny, you suck hard.

Posted by: Faye at November 16, 2009 12:20 PM

It did, admittedly, take me two viewings to really appreciate the hilarity of Super Troopers. But I think that the chemistry of which you speak was very lacking in Club Dread and partially found its way back in Beerfest. Hopefully they can recapture it in this sequel.

"I'm sorry about that delousing. Just standard procedure."
"It's powdered sugar."
"The lice hate the sugar."
"It's delicious."

Bear . . . Bearfucker! Do you need assistance?

These boys get that syrup in 'em, they get all antsy in their pantsy.

License and registration. Chicken Fucker!

Who, that little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy.

Ahhh, biker. I'm an idiot.

Are you guys drunk?
Nah! No! Nope! Sober as a bird!
I. Am. Drunk.

"littering and...

littering and...

smokin' the reefer!"

that opening scene is the funniest shit i've ever seen in my life. it took me until the third or fourth viewing to catch that whatshistoes turns on the flashlight when he's peering through the car window at the dude freaking out in the back.

"CANDYBARS!"

"he's already pulled over! he can't pull over any further!"

the desperation in his voice when he says that?

ahh... the hilarity.

Still haven't seen it. I get yelled at at work for it ALL THE TIME.

Adding to queue, adding to queue.

I laugh whenever I remember the "snozzberries taste like snozzberries" line, but then I cry a little when I remember that that actor is now married to Christina Hendricks.

Yah!! I love Super Troopers!

The meow scene in the original is quite possibly the funniest scene of all time!

Posted by: hh at November 16, 2009 12:52 PM

I thought that Beerfest was funny. Not as great as Super Troopers, but the male prostitute scene ("Back the fuck up, Antonio! My dick!") has me screaming with laughter every time. But yeah, Club Dread sucked.

I am worried that ST 2 won't be as good, but I'm still willing to give it a try.

"He's already pulled over! he can't pull over any further!"
Brilliant.

Beerfest is funny, just not Super Troopers funny, which is the problem with making your best movie first, I suppose.

"It's $10 for a BJ, $12 for an HJ, and $15 for a ZJ."
"What's a ZJ?"
"If you have to ask, you can't afford it."
"... I've got four dollars."

The Official Fratboy Stance is that Beerfest is the fuckin' shit. I am ashamed to say that I have participated in the frattiest behavior of trying to match that movie drink for drink. We almost ran out of beer before we ran out of conscious pledges.

BL films live and die by the sandbox they create and the characters that play in it. They got a good start in Puddle Cruiser but then really hit paydirt with ST. Club Dread was ok, but with BF they really lost a lot of the audience-character connection. I think they made that picture solely for the beer drinking bus tour they got to go on to promote the film. S'S so far isn't looking great, but I hope I'm wrong. Anyway, there's room in the sandbox for more ST greatness.

Watch Super Troopers side by side w/ Mad Men and hit yourself in the crotch each time Geoffrey Arend, the stoner guy w/ his hair up, appears at the same time as Joan. He's bangin' her and is the luckiest motherfucker in the entire world...

"DO YOU SEE ME EATING MICE?"

I love this movie. I hope they can catch lightning in a bottle twice.

The lesson here, kids, is that when your friends demand you eat entire bags of hallucinogens (real or fake), do it. That way, you too can marry a real-life Jessica Rabbit.

You've given me a reason to live again.

TK's now my favorite. This is a glorious day meow.

CAR RAMROD!

One of the funniest movies ever. Sadly they are all fat and not funny anymore. So the thought of a sequel is scary.

The funniest words in Africa was Health and Safety,that has Meow been replaced.

Rowles,your a pleb

"Who wants a mustache ride?!"

De-lurking to profess my love for Super Troopers, though I agree with AlexaCastro that the first half is funnier than the second, overall.

But the second half is still funnier than many, many things.
