Netflix sent fans into a frenzy on August 1, 2025, with the release of never-before-seen outtakes from Happy Gilmore 2, showcasing Eminem’s chaotic cameo, but it’s the surprise behind-the-scenes roles of rap legends Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre that have left audiences speechless. The sequel, which premiered on July 25, 2025, and amassed 46.7 million views in its first three days, per southpawers.com, already made waves with its star-studded cast. Now, a companion documentary, Gilmore Unleashed, reveals Snoop and Dre’s unexpected contributions, redefining the comedy’s production.

Eminem, playing Donald Jr., the son of a heckler from the 1996 original, steals the show in outtakes posted on Instagram, yelling at a fake alligator, “Put some respect on my name, b—h!” per Billboard. The clip, shared by @eminem, went viral, with fans on X raving, “Em’s comedy chops are unreal!” But the real shock came from artgardenhub.com, which disclosed Snoop Dogg served as an uncredited “chill coordinator,” coaching actors on set to maintain a relaxed vibe, while Dr. Dre co-scored the film’s absurd golf cart chase scene, blending hip-hop beats with comedic flair.

Snoop and Dre’s involvement, kept secret until now, stemmed from their long-standing friendship with Adam Sandler, who called Eminem for the cameo, per hiphopdx.com. “Snoop kept everyone loose, and Dre’s music gave the chase a pulse,” Sandler told The Dan Patrick Show. Their roles, though behind the scenes, added a unique edge, with litanews.com noting Dre’s score “elevated the absurdity to iconic.” Fans on X were floored, posting, “Snoop and Dre on Happy Gilmore 2? Mind blown!”

The outtakes and revelations have boosted the film’s buzz, with the original Happy Gilmore climbing to #3 on Netflix’s global charts, per southpawers.com. Eminem’s improvisational genius, paired with Snoop and Dre’s hidden contributions, has fans calling this “the ultimate rap-comedy crossover.” As Happy Gilmore 2 continues to dominate streaming, these surprises prove Sandler’s sequel is more than nostalgia—it’s a cultural collision that keeps fans talking.
