Adam Sandler recently opened up about a major character death in Happy Gilmore 2 and its emotional impact. In a new interview, Sandler and Tim Herlihy said they built the story around grief and aging.

Happy Gilmore 2 just dropped on Netflix, and while it’s probably not going to win any Oscars, most fans seem to be really pleased with the sequel, me included. It’s a goofy good time with some big laughs and a ton of cameos and returning characters. It also includes one big WTF death scene that left me and the actress involved absolutely shocked.

The highly anticipated Netflix movie Happy Gilmore 2 arrived on July 25, but fans quickly discovered that the sequel killed off a fan-favorite character.
