Carl Weathers’ Chubbs Peterson was also slated to return, until the actor died last year. So this film features the character’s son Slim Peterson (Lavell Crawford), who, like his father, sports a prosthetic hand that has an inconvenient propensity for falling off.

Is it safe for me to finally come out as a massive Adam Sandler fan? I know, I know- it’s so easy to dismiss the former SNL alum as the lead actor in some of the most obnoxious, poorly structured, juvenile films of the '90s and early aughts.

With the possible exception of Billy Madison, 1996’s Happy Gilmore is Adam Sandler’s crowning big-screen comedy achievement. Thus, Happy Gilmore 2, a 29-years-later sequel premiering now on Netflix, has a (relatively) high bar to clear.
