Broken Lizard's Super Troopers is a 2001 comedy film about highway troopers in the state of Vermont. They're on the verge of being shut down and are engaged in a turf war with the local Spurbury Police. Over the course of the movie, they discover a marijuana shipping operation, and tracking down the culprits may be the key to proving their worth to the state and keeping their jobs.The squad of troopers play a lot of pranks on each other, and a lot of the comedy comes from their wacky on the job hijinks and laid back attitude. The movie generally has a "snobs versus slobs" attitude comparing the lighthearted, mellow Highway Patrol to the uptight, mildly bigoted local police. A running theme is that both departments are pretty much incompetent, but at least the highway cops are honest about it.It was an unexpected hit for Fox Searchlight and has since become a Cult Classic. A sequel titled Super Troopers 2 was released on April 20, 2018. Watch the teaser here.Unrelated to the ABBA album Super Trouper and its title track. | |

Gratuitous French: "Litre is French for 'gimme some fuckin' cola before I break vous fuckin' lips'!" He pronounces "vous" (plural/formal "you") incorrectly; the final "s" should be silent. Not to mention that, in French, "your" should actually be "vos" here. | |

Noodle Incident: Similar to the first film with Farva's Bus Incident, it’s stated throughout the film that the guys, minus Captain O’ Hagen and Ursula, were fired from the Spurberry police force for something involving Fred Savage. it's later stated that they got him killed Like the first film we actually see it happen. Fred Savage is hit by a firetruck on their watch. | |

He just didn't go through it because Mac made Farva say a restaurant's name, which happens to be named 'Shenanigans', when O'Hagan is offered the pistol to whip, he told them to put those away. | |

The Guards Must Be Crazy: Discussed by the troopers when they are plotting to steal a winnebago from the police department's impound yard. The troopers note that most of the police officers will be at the Governor's ceremony, leaving only the two dumbest officers at the station, allowing the troopers to easily distract them. | |

Disproportionate Retribution: Rod Farva lives and breathes this trope. He assaults a cashier at Dimpis Burger because of a prank played on him (which he totally deserved), and there was an incident before the film involving a bus of grade school kids which is shown during the credits. Also played for laughs as Ramathorn and Rabbit are about to punish a trio of stoners. | |

Driving Stick | |
| Super Troopers / int_5785db6e | comment |
Driving Stick: Mac and Foster attempt to go undercover in the semi, but neither can operate the more complicated stickshift on the rig and give up.note While the pair can drive a manual stickshift on a car just fine, most modern American semi trucks have split-shift manual transmissions, which adds a huge level of complexity over a regular passenger/sports car's stick shift. There's a reason why truck drivers have to be trained to operate their rigs. | |

Eagleland: The brand of America that Farva intends to bring to the town. He recites the pledge, and the national anthem (both extremely wrong) aggressively to the townsfolk, demanding they learn the words. Unsurprisingly they react by turning violent and hurling garbage and hockey pucks at all of the Americans. | |

Manly Facial Hair | |
| Super Troopers / int_7ae40f90 | comment |
Manly Facial Hair: Having a manly 'stache is standard operating procedure, apparently. The others pick at Rabbit for being unable to grow one, and in the epilogue scene, the wispy mustache he's got on is actually fake, which he rips off when it's time to get serious. They actually pick on Foster to "grow a goddamned mustache" and Foster responds that he hasn't shaven in two weeks. | |

Ambiguous Time Period | |
| Super Troopers / int_7eb2bc15 | comment |
Ambiguous Time Period: The sequel takes place two years after the first, which was released nearly 2 decades earlier. This isn't that much of a problem since the first movie makes no reference to the time period, though the sequel makes reference to iPhones, texting, video chat, and making America great again, stuff that wasn't in use during the era of the first movie. | |

Truth in Television: The Halifax explosion was indeed a real event. And was the largest man-made explosion til Hiroshima, just as Guy says. Though considering the large number of fatalities that resulted (over 1'700), a hockey player with no ties to the city naming themselves after the event would likely go over as well as a British football player giving themselves the nickname of Blitzkrieg. When one of the troopers' clip-on tie comes away during a fight, the other guy laughs at that. Except that's precisely why cops wear clip-on or break-away ties (or no tie at all), so the bad guys can't grab onto them during a fight. | |

Artistic License – Law Enforcement: During the banquet scene all of the highway officers are wearing their ceremonial uniforms. However the chevrons or arrows on the shoulder all point down. In the US, the chevron or arrow insignia should be pointing upward (inverted). Grady's uniform even has 3 chevrons/arrows which indicates that he is a sergeant and not a captain. Likewise, the two chevrons/arrows on the other men's uniforms indicate the rank of corporal. Furthermore, the chevrons should also appear on the officer's day-to-day uniform as well as his/her ceremonial attire. When the State Police barracks are shut down, the troopers along with the captain would not have been fired or let go. They would have been assigned to another barracks or division around the state, but not fired. | |

Mind Screw | |
| Super Troopers / int_bef696dd | comment |
Mind Screw: An unusual case of most of the characters being fans of this trope. Starting right at the beginning of the film, they mess with the heads of stoners by pulling them over a second time after having already pulled them over. They're still pulled over from the last time and desperately exclaim that they can't pull over any further. It helps that one of the stoners is obviously tripping balls, so it's even weirder for him. | |

Jurisdiction Friction | |
| Super Troopers / int_c2676b00 | comment |
Jurisdiction Friction: Over the drug-related cases. The police have good reason to keep the troopers out of it, though. Ditto for the murder case, which the local cops are trying to muscle in on despite it happening on the highway. Eventually, Ramathorn gets tired of it and lets the locals have the case, much to O'Hagan's chagrin. Not only do the locals take the case (because they either killed the woman or covered it up), but they also file a jurisdictional grievance against the highway cops. | |

| Super Troopers / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: The Mountie's french profanities, known as Sacres, are all entirely accurate to what you'd hear if a French-Canadian started swearing. "Aw tabarnak" is the equivalent to "aw fuck", "câlice" is effectively "goddammit", and "merde" is basically "oh shit"note Though they mean different things, with French-Canadian swearing using religious words rather than sexual words or bodily functions, they're used in exactly the same contexts and have the same level of vulgarity. And yes, French-Canadians use these all the time even when speaking English. | |
