Next year the highly anticipated release of Super Troopers 2 will finally be here.For those of you who don't know, Super Troopers, is a movie about five Vermont state police troopers who play constant pranks. They must out-cop the local police station in order to keep their state trooper headquarters. The movie is hilarious, ridiculous, comical, and entertaining. The state cops spend most of their time pranking each other, pranking citizens they've arrested, and fooling around while on the job.
For instance, they bet they can use "meow" 10 times in a conversation with a citizen that has been pulled over. They also chug maple syrup in a race to see who can finish first. Finally, Mack wears a bulletproof cup and allows the other officers to shoot him in the groin area. Although, in order to keep from losing their headquarters due to budget cuts, they have to buckle down and do some real cop work.
This movie gained a big cult following in the 2000's following its DVD release. Fans called for a sequel, but its wasn't marketable enough for a film company to take the project on. People were so obsessed, that on March 24th, 2015 Broken Lizard launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise $2 million to produce the film. Just over 24 hours later, they had already surpassed their goal and the sequel was given a green light to start production. Cult followers rejoiced!!! The release date has been set for April 20th, 2018.
It seems as though many of the original cast members will be back to reprise their roles in the sequel. This time a dispute arises between the U.S. and Canada and the Super Troopers are tasked with establishing a trooper station in the disputed area. I'm sure that chaos, pranks, and laughs are sure to follow this group of troopers on this new adventure.
So if you've never seen the original, check it out before the sequel comes out, because this is a movie you're not going to want to miss!
