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 said he had to rewrite Happy Gilmore 2 following Carl Weathers ‘ death. The actor and comedian, who is reprising his role as Happy Gilmore in the sequel to his beloved 1996 sports comedy, recently told Collider that Weathers’ Derick “Chubbs” Peterson was planning to return for the new movie before he died last year at age 76 .
