The origins of the "Super Troopers" phenomenon trace back to 2001, when the original film, released by Fox Searchlight, quickly achieved cult classic status. Its debut at the Sundance Film Festival that year was met with critical acclaim, further solidified by winning the Audience Award at the SXSW Film Festival. This early success laid the groundwork for a franchise that has consistently entertained audiences with its distinctive brand of humor.
Matthew Greenfield, President of Searchlight Pictures, expressed his enthusiasm for the latest venture, highlighting the studio's long-standing relationship with Broken Lizard. He remarked on how the "Super Troopers" series masterfully transforms the absurd into something seemingly inevitable, promising that this new chapter will continue to spread joy and laughter wherever the troopers' patrols lead them. The film's screenplay was crafted by Broken Lizard, with Richard Perello serving as producer, and Jay Chandrasekhar returning to the director's chair, having previously helmed both the original and the 2018 sequel, "Super Troopers 2."
The return of the Broken Lizard team for "Super Troopers 3" ensures that fans will be treated to more of the outrageous humor and memorable characters they have come to love.
