Carl Weathers’ Chubbs Peterson was also slated to return, until the actor died last year. So this film features the character’s son Slim Peterson (Lavell Crawford), who, like his father, sports a prosthetic hand that has an inconvenient propensity for falling off.

An interesting amalgamation of rehash, redemption, and enough hilarious moments just barely qualify Happy Gilmore 2 as a worthy sequel.
