Rob Lowe was on board without even seeing a script.

Jay Chandrasekhar: I shot Rob Lowe’s show The Grinder, and on the last day I said to him: “Would you be in Super Troopers 2?” He said, “Anything! I don’t even need to see the script.” And I was like, “Okay, good!” Fred Savage was sitting right there, and he goes, “What about me?!”

Paul Soter: What was cool was that [Lowe] agreed to do it, and then The Grinder ended, and he immediately got on a medical drama. Even though he was working in L.A. Monday through Friday every week, he kept his word to do our movie. So we had him on the weekends. He would work every day on this CBS medical drama, and at the end of the day on Friday, he’d get on a plane, fly to Massachusetts, work with us all weekend, then fly back. He had 4 or 5 weeks of never having a day off and going back and forth across the country, and I thought that was pretty cool.

Steve Lemme: And you know what? Rob Lowe is fucking good looking.

Brian Cox is ready to retire as O’Hagen.

Steve Lemme: [Brian] doesn’t really like acting at night, and he would get super crusty with us from the afternoon into the evening. So, for Super Troopers 3 he’s pitched two things; one is that his character is in a wheelchair and doesn’t have to move around, and the other he pitched us was that his character dies.

Paul Soter: There was a third one where, for some reason, he and Governor Jessman (Lynda Carter) are holed up in a skeet shooting range the whole time, and we’d cut to them canoodling ever now and then.

Thorny’s lactating nipples were based on Jay Chandrasekar’s actual soy consumption. Jay Chandrasekhar: I was having nasal congestion problems, and so I decided to switch from dairy to soy. And then, my mom’s like, "You know that’s going to give you boobs, right?" So, thanks mom…

The reason behind why the Broken Lizards have sworn off chugging syrup.

Jay Chandrasekhar: I drank 2 and a half full bottles of maple syrup and I made Erik [Stolhanske] do 3 and a half… it was bad. I mean, it was like, you know when you have too much sugar, this is like too much sugar, right. It felt like, I think I’m getting diabetes — that goes through your head. We went to my trailer after lunch and we just laid in the dark and shivered. And then, afterwards—I’ll spare you the details. (pause) Ahh, I’ll tell you what happened… We shot a full robin fetus, you know, like a leaf fully intact.

Steve Lemme: So when you drink maple syrup, you shit birds is what he’s saying.

Jay Chandrasekhar: Don’t do it.
