Bizarrely though, amongst the sweet tributes is Eminem. For those concerned, no – the legendary Chicago rapper has not died.
Eminem plays the heckler’s son in the film, revealing that his father is now in the ‘great sizzler in the sky’.
After a confrontation with Happy, his four sons pick him up and throw him into a nearby lake, where he is devoured by alligators.
It is confirmed he has died shortly after he punches one, saying the alligators ‘better put some respect on his name’ with an announcement saying: “Well, it looks like we have our first fatality.”

Alongside the emotional waves of the other characters, all played by actors who’ve passed away, you also have Eminem in a bad wig flipping Happy off.
Sandler has previously stated that, despite rewriting the film following Weathers’ death, they had planned to make nods to the late great actor.
He said: “Had a painful change, Carl Weathers had a massive part. We made a lot of nice references to how great Chubbs was in the movie.”
Happy Gilmore 2 is available to watch on Netflix now.
