Super Troopers
News

MovieWeb recently sat down with Broken Lizard members Jay Chandrasekhar and Paul Soter.

Here's what the comedy troupe actors had to say about a Super Troopers sequel, one we're excited to report looks to be on the way:

Jay Chandrasekhar: Should I? Ah, why not? We pick up the story essentially right were we left off. Maybe about three months later. We are all working undercover for the lumber industry. What has happened is that there are all of these eco-terrorists that are trying to blow up the lumber mills. And we are there working as security. There was this big, sort of fun shootout at a mill. Well, we sort of scrapped that...Didn't we?

Paul Soter: What Jay is describing is the first scene. The big picture is that we are on the Canadian Border. And in reality, what has happened is that the government has found places where the markers were off, or wrong. And there are these areas of land that were thought to be Canada, but are actually part of the US. We are enlisted to patrol this area that was always thought to be Canadian soil.

But no, it is actually the United States. We are enlisted because they have to send someone there to help make it part of the US territory now. We get recruited to be the highway patrolmen there. And we are surrounded by all of these Canadian people that aren't happy about this. We essentially have to impose US law on a bunch of Canadians that aren't at all happy about it.

Here's juvenile and twisted music to the ears of Super Troopers fans everywhere.

"We've decided we want to do it," says Broken Lizard's Paul Soter about the long-rumored sequel to the comedy group's 2001 classic.

Soter admitted to MTV that the quintet that makes up Broken Lizard have approached the idea of a sequel with much trepidation.

"There was a period of time where it seemed to us that the only way people recognized us at all was as Super Troopers. So we thought, let's get a few other films under our belt just to let people know that it's not the only thing that we do," said Soter.

With more recognition (if not astounding box office grosses) from films such as Beerfest and Club Dread, Broken Lizard now feels confident enough to go back to the scene of their greatest success.

"The more we thought about it we said we should do it," says Soter. "They are great characters and we still have a lot of material left over."
