We spoke with Kevin Heffernan, one-fifth of Broken Lizard and forever beloved for demanding a liter of cola as Farva in ‘Super Troopers’ and dying in a giant vat of beer in ‘Beerfest.’ In ‘The Slammin’ Salmon,’ the comedy troupe’s latest, he takes over the director’s chair.

Remember how hilarious it was to see Justin Long and Ryan Reynolds pulling shenanigans left and right as restaurant employees in Waiting? Now imagine a similar movie, but with the guys from Broken Lizard. That movie is The Slammin’ Salmon.

Like an Arrested Development movie or Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds, a sequel to the hit Broken Lizard comedy Super Troopers has always been right on the edge, while still giving fans that pipedream vibe. But now they are talking, and talking seriously.
