Warning: This post contains spoilers for Happy Gilmore 2.
It’s been nearly 30 years since failed hockey player-turned-surprise golf sensation Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler) stunned the world by defeating top pro Shooter McGavin (Christopher McDonald) in the 1996 Tour Championship, securing his first gold jacket and winning back his beloved grandma’s house.
Now, Sandler is reprising his role as the hot-headed but lovable Happy for Happy Gilmore 2, a long-awaited sequel that reveals how his life has turned out over the last three decades. Spoiler alert: Things haven’t been great for Happy since he accidentally hit and killed his loving wife Virginia (Julie Bowen) with one of his all-too-powerful drives, leaving their four sons, Gordie (Maxwell Jacob Friedman), Bobby (Philip Schneider), Wayne (Ethan Cutkosky), and Terry (Conor Sherry), and daughter Vienna (Sandler’s daughter Sunny Sandler), without a mother. After turning to booze, running out of money, and once again losing his now-late grandma’s house, Happy is a shell of his former self. But when he returns to golf in an attempt to earn enough winnings to pay for Vienna’s fancy ballet school, it sets him on a crash course to face off with shady businessman Frank Manatee (Benny Safdie), the creator of a new stunt-based rival golf league dubbed Maxi Golf, and Manatee’s surgically-enhanced all-star Billy Jenkins (Haley Joel Osment).
While the original Happy Gilmore wasn’t a critical darling, it’s widely considered one of the most enduring ’90s comedy—and sports—classics. So it only makes sense the sequel would attract a multitude of comedy legends, prominent sports figures, and other notable names.
Here, in order of appearance, are all the cameos in Happy Gilmore 2, now streaming on Netflix.
