Richard Kiel, an iconic Bond villain who portrayed a giant Happy Gilmore fan who intimidates rival Shooter McGavin in the first film, is honored by having his character's son appear in the sequel. Kiel died at 74 in 2014.

Happy Gilmore 2 finally arrived on Netflix this week, much to the delight of fans who have been waiting almost 30 years to see Adam Sandler reprise his role as the iconic angry golfer.

Adam Sandler is disappointed that one very important part of "Happy Gilmore" will not be happening for the sequel coming to Netflix on July 25.

After Carl Weathers' death at age 76 last year, 'Happy Gilmore 2' had to undergo a rewrite to account for his absence.

Adam Sandler shares how Carl Weathers’ death led to major changes in 'Happy Gilmore 2,' where the late actor was set for a significant role.

According to another report from Parade, the moment included in Happy Gilmore 2 was identified as coming from an episode of the Disney Channel series Jessie. Seemingly pulled from Season 2, Episode 11, “A Pain in the Rear Window,” the sequence shows a young Boyce spying on a neighbor with a pair of binoculars.

The original movie, whose sequel is hitting Netflix nearly 30 years later, was inspired by a childhood friend of Adam Sandler.
