Broken Lizard Announces Super Troopers 2
Filed under: Comedy, RumorMonger, Fandom, DIY/Filmmaking, Remakes and Sequels
Finally, life has purpose! Speaking at Comic-Con this past weekend, those Broken Lizard boys announced plans for a long awaited sequel to their underground cult flick Super Troopers. Though an official announcement has not been made, according to Moviehole, the Lizard's were confident the film would begin shooting soon. Is that a good thing? Based on the horrific tale that was Club Dread, I'm not sure these guys would know clever comedy if it repeatedly smashed them over the head. Seriously, after watching the trailer for Broken Lizard's upcoming film, Beerfest, I could actually see the brain cells escaping my head and leaping to their death.
Super Troopers 2, which will be a prequel to the original, finds the comedy troupe playing the father's of their characters in the first film. Having mildly enjoyed Super Troopers, I sincerely hope the sequel (or prequel) entertains. Heck, it's set in the 70s -- mix a whole lot of drugs with an afro or two and you've got yourself a winner. Right?

Actually, I watched "Club Dread" thinking it would be terrible, but It was pretty funny. I guess you have to think of it as a crazy juxtaposition of horror style photography and editing, and terrible/overdone characters. It seemed like all that was on purpose. Putman Tennis? If you look at it in that light, the movie can be really damn funn, and I think that's what they were trying to do.
Super Troopers 2 hopefully will be good.

I have been waiting for this since I seen the first Super Troopers.I hope it is as funny as the first one and I thought Club Dread was funny I think it was meant to be stupid,but it was still funny.

Oh Gawd!!! I'm SUPER stoked! I did not like Club Dread and or Puddle Cruisers... so naturally I had doubts about Beer Fest when it came out.. However I laughed my ass off in the theatre and really craved Beer after that! It wasn't AS good as super troopers, but I know they can pull off this prequel for SURE!!

Mr. E DAVIS,
this talk of you brain cells leaping out of your head makes me think that it's hppened before and that you've been left a little "SHORT of a full size BUS", i don't know what kind of movies you're into but most, if not all, of the broken lizard movies are awesome... hell even the very very first one they made had it's moments, but i wouldn't go as far as to say that any of their movies sucked. If for one am very excited to see if the sequel/prequel will be made, and i don't doubt that it will be hilarious.
