'Super Troopers' at 25: A Quarter-Century of Mustaches and Maple Syrup — and a New Film
The 2001 comedy became a cult hit on VHS and DVD, and Searchlight Pictures will release the sequel Aug. 7.
- On Monday, July 27, Broken Lizard members Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske posed for a portrait in Burbank, Calif., promoting 'Super Troopers 3.' Searchlight Pictures will release the film on August 7.
- Formed at Colgate University, the troupe released their first comedy, 'Puddle Cruiser,' in 1996 before achieving mainstream success with 2001's 'Super Troopers,' a cult hit made for less than $3 million.
- The original film earned $23 million through VHS and DVD sales, far exceeding its production budget. The franchise is renowned for iconic mustaches and absurd humor, including a famous scene where officers play a game saying 'meow' 10 times.
- Following 2018's crowd-funded 'Super Troopers 2,' the team continues their mission to revive R-rated American theatrical comedy. Director Jay Chandrasekhar noted that 'NYPD Blue' produced 250 episodes, suggesting potential for multiple cop-themed films.
- 'Super Troopers 3' faces competition from blockbusters like 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day' and 'The Odyssey' upon its August 7 release. The group teased a potential fourth film with a tag at the end of the new release, signaling their long-term commitment.
