Continuity mistake: In the beginning of the movie he is not taken onto the hockey team. After he is hustling at the driving range he goes to toughen up. As he is toughening up, Chubbs unplugs the machine. The kid tries it, but he never plugged it back in and the machine still manages to work. (00:15:10)
Happy Gilmore (1996)
Ending / spoiler
Directed by: Dennis Dugan
Starring: Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Christopher McDonald, Carl Weathers, Julie Bowen, Richard Kiel
Shooter pars the last hole, so Happy needs a birdie. Just as he's about to putt, a tower that Shooter's friend ran into falls and blocks the path of Happy's ball, but the rules say Happy has to play the ball as it lies. The tower's construction makes it similar to the "Impossible Hole" that Chubbs taught him at, so Happy hits the ball into the tower and wins. Shooter tries to steal the gold jacket, but the crowed chases him and he gets the crap beaten out of him. Happy gets his grandma's house back.

Trivia: During one of the tournaments, a few of Happy's fans are visible in the background holding cut out signs of his face. This is the same but blown up picture used in Billy Madison to mark the grade he was in.

Suggested correction: I Googled the face sign from this movie while watching Billy Madison, and they are not the same. You can tell the facial expression on Happy Gilmore features a wider smile and arched eyebrows, whereas the cutout of Billy Madison is more straightfaced and his eyebrows are a little furrowed, as evidenced by the wrinkles between them.
