The opening minutes of the long-awaited Happy Gilmore sequel reveal a legacy character has been shockingly killed off.

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.

Nearly 30 years after the original, "Happy Gilmore 2" brings a who's who of stars from the PGA, NFL, NBA, WWE and more.

Happy Gilmore 2 finally premiered on Netflix after a decades-long gap from the first movie, but this time, the movie went in an offbeat direction with a major death within the first half of the film.

Grading the film a B-, IndieWire quipped that "More often than not, it makes the shot" and commended Sandler on his comedic stylings, noting: "It is also often quite funny. Most of that humour comes care of Sandler, who slips back into Happy with something like grizzled ease."

Bad Bunny, who has ventured into Hollywood with roles in films like Bullet Train (2022) and Cassandro (2023), is confirmed for an unspecified role in Happy Gilmore 2. “Benito 🤝 Sandler,” read the X post, using Bad Bunny’s real name, Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio. “Benito Martínez Ocasio will star in Happy Gilmore 2!”

Bowen, 55, has looked back on her upbringing with a real estate developer father who taught her a "golden rule" about success.
