I remember hearing something, way back when, about how Sam Raimi had originally planned on having The Lizard be the villain in 2004's 'Spider-Man 2' along with Dr. Octopus. This of course explained why there was a reference to Dr. Connors in …

It's been quite a while since we've paid a visit to the Spurbury Highway Patrol and its various goofball officers. For a while meow, there have been whispers of a sequel to the 2001 cult classic 'Super Troopers,' but…
