Reply to comment by rocker2014 in I’m a decade+ late - but please go watch the Slammin’ Salmon by stardewcallie

It is the weakest of their movies (super troopers 2 never happened) but that is like saying John wick 3 is the weakest wick

Eh, it's better than Puddle Cruiser for sure. And while it's debatable, I personally prefer Slammin Salmon to Club Dread. Super Troopers 2 wasn't bad in my opinion. It wasn't near as good as the original, but it was decent.

Puddle Cruiser gave us “firstie,firstie girlie,girlie” which is still the first thing I think of when I meet a dude with a name like Tracy Madison.

Super Troopers 2 retroactively makes Super Troopers a lesser film because of how completely unnecessary and "phoned in" it was

I can definitely see the argument for Club Dread being worse. Club Dread was... weird and a lot of the jokes were overall weaker. But I think it is a better representation of the Broken Lizard "vibe" of... just being really frigging weird and unnecessary. Which is exemplified by 1's climax being a "funny but bog standard" action sequence as the good cops (ugh) fight the bad drug dealers. And then we just have drunken Brian Cox beating the shit out of Daniel von Bargen and having that simultaneous "ha, this is funny" and "... why is this happening? How is this happening?".

I think super troopers 2 suffers from what a lot of comedy sequels suffer from. Coming 2 America, anchorman 2, etc. They aren't played earnestly and aren't grounded. They lean into the jokes instead of letting the situation be the joke.
