Super Troopers 3
Release Date: August 7tht
It’s been eight years, but the wildly inappropriate gang of Super Troopers are back – and Farva is getting married… to Sarita, Thorny’s super hot sister.
Thorny is dead set against the marriage, and when the pair’s over-the-top Indian engagement party descends into chaos, he sees it as a sign that Farva is not right for his sister, and plans to put a stop to the nuptials by any means necessary.
As the rest of the troopers navigate that whole mess within their squad, they also have business to attend to: cracking a drug ring that’s infiltrated the area. No biggie.
