Super Troopers is hilarious. Everybody always thought we somehow – we did Reno way, way before any of us had seen Super Troopers. It sat on the shelf for a couple years.
Meaning of the quote
The quote suggests that the movie "Super Troopers" was made before the actors had even seen it. They had already worked on another movie called "Reno" which was similar to "Super Troopers" in some ways. However, "Super Troopers" had to wait a couple of years before it was finally released, even though the actors had already completed their work on it.
