Shock in Swing: Virginia's Death Shakes Happy Gilmore Fans
BREAKING: Adam Sandler's Happy Gilmore 2 Leaves Fans in Tears!
The wait is over, and Adam Sandler fans have finally gotten their hands on the new Netflix film, Happy Gilmore 2. But, spoiler alert! The beloved comedy has taken a dramatic turn that left many of us questioning our faith in the franchise.
Happy Gilmore, reprising his iconic role as the quirky golfer, is back with a new movie that promises to deliver non-stop laughter and excitement. However, fans were in for a shock when they discovered that one of their favorite characters from the original 1996 film was killed off in the first few minutes of the movie.
Virginia Venit, played by the lovely Julie Bowen, met her untimely demise after being hit by an errant golf ball. The scene was so intense and unexpected that many fans were left gasping for air. But, as it turns out, this heart-wrenching moment wasn't just a random plot twist – it was all part of Sandler's master plan to pay tribute to the late Carl Weathers, who passed away in 2024 at the age of 76.
Weathers played Chubbs, Happy's wise and witty mentor, and his absence from the new film was deeply felt by fans. However, Sandler made sure that his memory lived on in the movie. The film includes a heartwarming tribute to Weathers, where Happy reads through Chubbs' book of golf tips and shares fond memories of their time together.
But don't worry, folks! Despite Virginia's tragic death, Bowen still managed to make several appearances throughout the movie. Her character's spirit continues to haunt Happy, encouraging him to forgive himself for her untimely passing.
"Loved it. Hilarious just a shame Virginia died," wrote a fan on Sandler's Instagram early Friday morning. "But overall just as good as I thought it would be."
The new film is packed with plenty of nostalgia and cameos from beloved characters from the original movie. Christopher McDonald and Dennis Dugan reprised their roles, while the late Bob Barker made a memorable appearance in a video game re-enacting his infamous fight with Happy.
And that's not all – Sandler also included some special nods to Richard Kiel's character, Mr. Larson. His son was a spectator at one of the golf tournaments, and fans got to see a glimpse of Mr. Larson's love for Happy.
But don't expect this movie to be all about nostalgia. With new additions like Bad Bunny as Happy's new caddy and Taylor Swift's boyfriend Travis Kelce making a small appearance, there's plenty of fresh talent on board.
And if you thought the comedy was over when the credits rolled, think again! The film features some big-name cameos from professional golfers like John Daly, Rory McElroy, and Scottie Scheffler. Yes, folks, these legends are taking a swing at acting!
But what's next for Adam Sandler? Well, he's got a busy schedule ahead of him. His comedy special, Adam Sandler Love You, has been nominated for Outstanding Variety Special (Pre-Recorded) at the Emmys. And don't worry, folks – he won't have to cancel his upcoming tour with the "You're My Best Friend" show in September.
In fact, his tour schedule is so packed that he'll be heading out on tour right after the Emmy Awards. Luckily, he doesn't have a show scheduled for September 14, which means he can celebrate the nomination without any conflicts!
As Sandler himself said, "Thanks to everyone who worked on these. Appreciate you all!" We're honored to bring this juicy scoop to our readers, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did!
