In the years following the release of “Happy Gilmore,” Adam Sandler has worked on a variety of other now-legendary comedies. While the likes of “The Wedding Singer,” “The Waterboy,” and “Little Nicky” — a project featuring rock legend Ozzy Osbourne’s best film cameo — have all withstood the test of time with Sandler fans, many have yearned for what could be. “Happy Gilmore 2” has been a highly-desired sequel among fans of the original, with those on the Internet making that fact abundantly clear. Naturally, Sandler has taken note of this push for “Happy Gilmore 2,” and he’s all for it.
During an appearance on “The Dan Patrick Show” in February 2021, Sandler was asked about the possibility of “Happy Gilmore 2,” revealing that the internet buzz around such a film hasn’t gone unnoticed. “It hasn’t been discussed, but it certainly has been discussed on the Internet. Believe me, that senior tour idea, it would be so amazing … Yes, you can greenlight this,” he said. Seeing as he has since supposedly worked on a script for the sequel, one has to wonder if the idea of Happy Gilmore and Shooter McGavin going head-to-head in a senior tournament will make it to the big screen sooner rather than later.
