History Film / SuperTroopers

** Daniel von Bargen (Grady) played a prison guard in ''Film/TheSilenceOfTheLambs'', while Brian Cox (O'Hagan) played Hannibal Lector himself in ''Film/{{Manhunter}}''''.

* ActorAllusion: When he brings them to the derelict station, Mac asks O'Hagen if he's going to make them "put the lotion in the basket." Creator/BrianCox once played [[Film/{{Manhunter}} Dr. Hannibal Lektor]].

-->'''Guy {{LeFranc}}''': "Hey officers! How about a beer and a yank, on the house?"
* AmbiguousTimePeriod: 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 averts being an UnintentionalPeriodPiece and makes no reference to the time period, though the sequel makes reference to iPhones, texting, and video chat, stuff that wasn't in use during the era of the first movie.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Nobody within the State Troopers likes Farva, and not without reason. He's loud, obnoxious, and his hot-head antics has put the State Troopers into some hot water. The only member of the group who'd tolerate him is Rabbit.

** Justified, in that most modern American semi trucks tend to have between ten and ''eighteen'' gears. It could easily have been in sixth gear despite appearing to be in first. [[note]]On a 10-speed gearbox, "first" gear (back and left) with the range selector in the 'high' position is actually sixth gear - first through fifth are in low range.[[/note]]

* GunsDoNotWorkThatWay: Suffice it to say, everything about the fictional "AK-48" is completely, utterly, totally '''''wrong'''''. [[RuleOfFunny But still funny.]]

* ActuallyPrettyFunny: After Favre is [[spoiler: knocked over in the Port-O-John by the bear, he makes a bear-themed joke. The guys chuckle as it is a surprisingly clever joke by Favre. When he keeps going though, they quickly change their mind. After the fifth one:]]

* CanadaEh: The boys have been brought in to transition the police force of a Canadian town that turned out to be part of the U.S.A.

* FrenchJerk: The trio of mounties who are their rivals.

** 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 were clip-on or break-away ties, so the bad guys can't grab onto them during a fight.

'''O'Hagen''': "Shoot him."

-->'''Guy LeFranc''': "Hey officers! How about a beer and a yank, on the house?"

* TheCameo Sean William Scott and Damon Waynes Jr. appear briefly as the two state troopers in [[spoiler: Rabbit's dream]]

*** He fired to "prove" to Rabbit they were blanks, but [[GenreSavvy knows better]] than to [[IJustShotMarvinInTheFace tempt fate]]. Good thing, too.

It was an unexpected hit for Fox Searchlight and has since become a CultClassic. A sequel titled ''Super Troopers 2'' will be released on April 20, 2018. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=viUpckGruMU Watch the teaser here]].

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Farva, mostly because of how dumb, socially inept, and mean-spirited he is.

* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Nobody within the State Troopers likes Farva, and not without reason. He's loud, obnoxious, and his hot-head antics has put the State Troopers into some hot water. The only member of the group who'd tolerate him is Rabbit.

** Marisa Coughlan is reduced to a cameo as Marissa.

* WronGenreSavvy: The guys spend the movie convinced that the [[spoiler: local cops are the bad guys.]] Just like the first movie. They wind up very, very wrong.

* CallBack: In the first film O'Hagan mentions that the Troopers' "...nuts are this close to the band saw." In this movie [[spoiler: Rabbit's nuts actually wind up in peril from a timber saw.]]
