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.
Adam Sandler penned a touching tribute to his Happy Gilmore co-star, the late Carl Weathers. Weathers passed away in his sleep Feb. 1 at the age of 76, according to his family.

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.

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.
