When we meet Happy after all these years, he's in sorry shape. He's an alcoholic, using booze to numb the guilt and grief of Virginia's death. But as the Happy Gilmore 2 trailer shows, he decides to sober up and get back to golfing in order to help his beloved daughter Vienna go abroad to ballet school.

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.

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.

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

It’s the genuine article, a true revival of Sandler’s Jerry Lewis-meets-rock 'n' roll rage. A sequel to his fabled 1996 golf comedy, it extends that movie’s anarchy-on-the-putting-green spirit as blithely as if the original had been made yesterday.

Adam Sandler returns as the hotheaded golfer in a follow-up that trades scrappy irreverence for overstuffed bombast.

Netflix is about to release Happy Gilmore 2 tomorrow, but it is deleting the original film from its library the following week. Streaming, baby!
