Happy Gilmore 2 Star Shares Reaction To Finding Out About That WTF Death Scene

by

The long-awaited sequel to “Happy Gilmore,” titled “Happy Gilmore 2,” has just been released on Netflix, and although it’s unlikely to take home any Academy Awards, many fans appear to be quite delighted with the follow-up, me among them. This film offers a fun, lighthearted experience filled with lots of humor, numerous cameos, and familiar characters reprising their roles. The plot also features an unexpected, jaw-dropping death scene that left both myself and the actress involved utterly astonished.

Let’s make sure we set things straight: A major spoiler alert is in order before proceeding. If you haven’t seen “Happy Gilmore 2” yet, this article isn’t for you. Instead, head on over to Netflix and give it a watch! It’s totally free and an excellent use of your time if you appreciate the original film even a little bit.

After making it clear that I’ll be discussing spoilers, let me tell you about an unexpected event in the film: Virginia meets her untimely end right at the start. Our protagonist, in a tragic turn of events, ends up killing her with one of his powerful golf swings. This incident leads him to abandon golf and resort to heavy drinking. The remainder of the movie follows his journey towards redemption, which includes ghostly appearances by Virginia from beyond the grave.

I was taken aback when I saw the film, thinking for a moment it could be a dream sequence or a humorous aside. But alas, the character was truly deceased. Interestingly enough, Julie Bowen had a similar reaction. She was on holiday with her family and attempting to read the script on her phone when she encountered her character’s demise. At first, she doubted if she had been reading it correctly. As she shared with People…

As a film enthusiast, when I stumbled upon the fact that my character met an untimely end on page 12, I burst into laughter. I was unwinding with my loved ones on a well-deserved vacation, far from the clutches of WiFi. The script was barely legible on my phone screen, and I found myself squinting and zooming in, questioning if I was interpreting it correctly. ‘Am I reading this right?’ I wondered aloud, trying to make sense of it all. And then it hit me – I’m dead! (Happy) takes my life. The irony of the situation left me in stitches, and I couldn’t help but laugh, letting the laughter echo through the tranquility of our getaway.

It’s likely that many viewers watching the movie found themselves both surprised and amused by certain scenes, expressing their shock with laughter on social media. At first watch, these unexpected moments took viewers off guard, as they hadn’t anticipated them. I was among this group, but upon reflection, I’ve come to accept the choice wholeheartedly. Virginia is an exceptional character, and her departure is a significant blow, yet it aligns perfectly with the essence of Happy Gilmore. This movie revolves around our main character losing control, and his wife is the only one who can bring him back to calmness. Consequently, her absence serves as an excellent trigger for his erratic behavior.

In the end, Bowen also approved of the decision, expressing this to Sandler right away upon reading it. During her holiday, they reconnected, and she signaled her agreement with a lively thumbs-up.

Adam was making an effort to reach out to me. However, I was on an island with limited Wi-Fi and cell service, but eventually, we managed to communicate. I replied, “I don’t mind at all. I’m thrilled! Overjoyed doesn’t even begin to cover it.

In this case, Bowen demonstrated her dedication by fully embracing the project and participating extensively in media interviews, as if she were a leading actress in the entire film. She also expressed delight at being asked back, something that’s not common among actors who only have minor roles. It’s refreshing to see this, because otherwise, we might have been left guessing about Virginia’s situation, which would have diminished the impact of the scene.
