Audio problem: After Shooter calls Happy a freak, there's an over-the-shoulder shot of Happy saying that he entered the tournament for one reason. As he says this line, his mouth doesn't move.

Continuity mistake: When Happy punches Bob Barker for the first time, Bob falls down a few feet away from Happy. You can see him start to get up almost immediately. But, in the shot of Bob from the front as he's standing up, he's much closer to Happy than he was in the previous shot.

Continuity mistake: When Happy hits the AC in the window it has bigger sides to fill the window space. When the AC falls on the Mista Mista lady the extra sides are gone.

Happy Gilmore: I'm stupid. You're smart. I was wrong. You were right. You're the best. I'm the worst. You're very good-looking. I'm not attractive.

Trivia: Bob Barker got paid more for his little bit in the movie than Virginia did for the whole thing.

Question: In the movie, when you see Happy's dream (happy place) for the second time, you see Shooter "eat" Grandma's tongue, however, in the TV version, that part is cut out, why? There's nothing bad about that part.

Answer: Maybe not to you but to a lot of people a scene in which Shooter graphically makes out with a elderly woman is a little disturbing, not something to be broadcast for children to see.

Answer: I tried to find if a specific reason was given, but couldn't. However, movie studios provide the edited version of films for television and airlines. Removing this scene (or this scene and whatever else was cut) probably would have given "Happy Gilmore" an MPAA rating of "PG", making it more suitable to broadcast. (Of course, this is 90's MPAA standards, and if "Happy Gilmore" was released today, it might get a "PG" rating and not "PG-13.) Additionally, scenes are also cut for time, so the version that was broadcast might have been for time and not content. Studios will also include deleted scenes (often not available on home release versions) into the broadcast version to ensure the film is long enough if too many scenes have to be cut.
