Adam Sandler says the biggest disappointment of the "Happy Gilmore" sequel was losing Carl Weathers, who had a "massive part" planned as fan-favorite Chubbs Peterson from the 1996 original.

"I would talk to Carl, and we were excited, and then Carl passed away. We had to rewrite a lot of the stuff, and even what the story was. We made a lot of nice references to how great Chubbs was in the movie. That was the biggest change."
