It’s clear from the clip that footage from the original film was recycled, but it was a nice nod to Barker and the rest of the gang, and in lieu of The Price Is Right jokes, the new film opted to reference Jeopardy!, including a clip in which Vienna plays a clue reading by Ken Jennings out loud as players fail to guess Happy’s name.

A look back at the Happy Gilmore cast members who have passed away, including Carl Weathers, Bob Barker, and Morris the Alligator.

The fan-favorite villain from Happy Gilmore, Shooter McGavin, gets a satisfying redemption arc in the recently released sequel on Netflix.

Happy Gilmore 2 is the interesting amalgamation of rehash, redemption, and enough hilarious moments for it to just barely qualify as a worthy sequel, but with a few parts that make it surpass the first golf outing, and this is coming from someone who was looking for any reason to trash it.

Long-time Sandler collaborator Steve Buscemi makes an early cameo in "Happy Gilmore 2." After Happy loses his grandma's house for a second time following Virginia's death, he and his daughter are forced to move to a seedier side of town. Buscemi plays their new oddball neighbor.

Sandler co-wrote Happy Gilmore 2 and it’s clear he’s putting a lot of his own perspective into the movie. It’s a story about a former icon who is a beaten down, alcoholic mess surrounded by absent friends. Sandler’s aware of his age and seems to be injecting a cognizant sense of real mortality into the story of Happy Gilmore.
