The Broken Lizard team return with Super Troopers 3, a third outing that leans straight into the chaos that made the original a cult favourite. This time, the story pivots around Farva’s wildly over-the-top engagement, which quickly unravels into something far messier than anyone expected. What should be a celebration becomes the spark for conflict, dragging the entire crew into a situation that feels both personal and predictably ridiculous.
Thorny sits at the heart of that tension, quietly working against the relationship and trying to break it apart. That subplot runs alongside a new drug ring investigation, giving the film its familiar structure. Personal drama collides with law enforcement antics, and the Troopers find themselves juggling both at once. It is a setup that sticks closely to what the series has always done, just with the volume turned up.
The core team of Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske all return, both in front of and behind the camera. Chandrasekhar directs once again, working from a script written by the group, with production handled by Richard Perello. It keeps the creative control firmly within the same circle, which has always been key to the tone.
Returning cast members include Brian Cox as Captain John O’Hagan and Marisa Coughlan as Ursula Hanson. Alongside them, new additions such as Hannah Simone, Nat Faxon, Chace Crawford, and Andrew Dismukes join the cast, suggesting a few fresh dynamics within the usual madness.
At its core, this third instalment sticks to what the franchise does best. A mix of exaggerated characters, escalating situations, and a storyline that never quite stays under control. Between the collapsing engagement and the hunt for a new drug ring, the film looks set to deliver more of the same brand of comedy, just pushed a little further this time.
