Super Troopers 3 Team Defends Politically Incorrect Humor Ahead of August 7 Release

Summary
Kevin Heffernan said Super Troopers 3 keeps some politically incorrect jokes because a “good-natured” cast can push comedy further without turning mean-spirited.
The actor, who plays Farva, said the Broken Lizard group’s real-life friendship since age 18 helps make the humor feel like friends joking together rather than attacking anyone.
The sequel centers on Farva’s planned wedding to Thorny’s sister, Sarita, while Thorny tries to stop it and the troopers pursue a new drug ring.
Jay Chandrasekhar directs and returns alongside Heffernan, Paul Soter, Steve Lemme, Erik Stolhanske and Brian Cox as the franchise heads to theaters on August 7, 2026.
The series began in 2001 and built a cult following; its 2018 sequel, partly crowdfunded, grossed more than $32 million despite the original film’s modest box-office run.
