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 was forced to change Happy Gilmore 2 after the devastating death of an important co-star. After almost 30 years, the comedy legend reprised the Happy character who retires from pro golf under tragic circumstances.

Not every cast member could return for "Happy Gilmore 2." Here's what you need to know about Chubbs, who was played by Carl Weathers.

In 1996’s “Happy Gilmore,” Weathers played the golf mentor to Sandler’s Happy Gilmore. Sandler told Collider that Chubbs had a bigger part in the sequel when they were drafting the initial scripts.

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.

Anyone with a Netflix subscription (which start at $8 a month) can play this title; however, unlike many other Netflix games, it doesn't run on mobile devices such as phones and tablets. Netflix subscribers can play Happy Gilmore on a supported smart TV, streaming device or browser, including Chrome.

On February 16, 1996, Universal Pictures introduced Happy Gilmore to audiences. The Adam Sandler starrer went on to gross $41 million and became a cable TV perennial enroute to its belated Netflix sequel in 2025. The Hollywood Reporter’s original review is below:
