The Broken Lizard comedy troupe released an exclusive R-rated preview clip for the upcoming film Super Troopers 3 this Wednesday [1].
This release marks a return to the franchise's irreverent humor and aims to generate fan excitement ahead of the third movie's official debut [1, 2]. The timing coincides with the 25th anniversary of the original Super Troopers film [3].
The preview clip was publicized in July 2026 via IGN’s YouTube channel [1, 3]. The upcoming film is the third installment in the series [1]. The story continues to be set in Vermont, U.S. [1].
Broken Lizard directors Jay Chandrasekhar and Kevin Heffernan lead the project. The film also stars Chandrasekhar, Heffernan, Steve Lemme, and Paul S. [3, 4].
Reports on the specific content of the red-band clip vary. One account describes a scene featuring Farva’s over-the-top Indian engagement to Thorny’s sister descending into chaos [1]. Another account describes a sequence involving Vermont state troopers and a bomb-disposal robot [5].
The troupe is using the exclusive footage to build momentum for the release. By utilizing a red-band clip, the production highlights the R-rated nature of the comedy, a staple of the original series' appeal [1, 2].
“The exclusive clip was publicized in July 2026”
The release of Super Troopers 3 during the original film's 25th anniversary suggests a strategic effort to leverage nostalgia. By returning to the original cast and setting in Vermont, Broken Lizard is positioning the third film as a legacy sequel intended to recapture the cult following of the early 2000s comedy era.
