Seventeen years after the release of the cult hit Super Troopers, Broken Lizard is back in shades and mustaches for the comedy troupe’s highly anticipated sequel, Super Troopers 2, which hit theaters on April 20. Broken Lizard first got together when the members were attending Colgate University in 1990, and they’ve been performing together ever since—in live stage shows as well as films like Club Dread and Beerfest. In honor of the release of Super Troopers 2, Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, and Erik Stolhanske sat down with High Times to discuss making movies, marijuana, the meow game, and much more.
So the long-awaited Super Troopers 2 comes out on 4/20…
KH: It’s now considered like a holiday, right?
ES: International holiday, yeah.
PS: Now we’re giving you something to do on that holiday, which is kind of a cool thing.
JC: Because all the best holidays have an activity.
KH: Christmas activity, Halloween activity, Easter activity.
SL: 4/20 has an activity now.
What can we expect to see in the new film?
JC: Well, we’re all in it, the five of us, that’s for sure.
PS: Brian Cox.
KH: A bunch of people came back. Lynda Carter’s back.
JC: The mustaches are all about double the size.
SL: There’s extra mustaches.
KH: There’s 20 percent more mustache, and then there are other characters with mustaches as well.
SL: There’s a lot of new players, too, like Rob Lowe’s in the movie, which is great.
KH: And Mounties. We have Mounties this time. Will Sasso and Tyler Labine and Hayes MacArthur.
ES: And live animals.
