What Barker had given him 27 years earlier was a brutal beatdown that would echo through the decades.
“I said, ‘What do you mean you have a double?’ I said, ‘I know how to fight,'” Barker said. “He said, ‘All right, all right, you can fight.’ So he let me fight.”
Indeed he did. Most of the 4 1/2-minute scene consists of Barker growing increasingly frustrated as he and Gilmore tumble down the leader board at the Pepsi Pro-Am tournament in San Francisco. After Gilmore shanks a drive into the water and the pair drop to dead last, Barker can’t contain his disgust and insults Gilmore, who responds with a brutal right hook that knocks Barker to the ground.“I don’t want a piece of you.
“I think you’ve had enough,” Barker says, walking away in victory before noticing Gilmore scrambling to get up.Barker said the scene permanently changed his day job. From the movie’s release in 1996 up until Barker’s retirement in 2007, audience members on “The Price is Right” not only wanted to talk about Showcase Showdown prizes, but also about the “Happy Gilmore” fight scene.Article content“I did beat up Happy Gilmore,” Barker said. “I crushed him.
In reality, appearing in “Happy Gilmore” together led Barker and Sandler to form a real-life friendship that endured until Barker’s death. Rob Schneider, a “Saturday Night Live” alum who has appeared in several Sandler comedies, tweeted Saturday that Barker once said “one of the nicest things I ever heard in showbusiness.” Sandler, a relative newcomer to Hollywood in the mid-1990s, had given the entertainment industry veteran something he had sought for decades but never gotten.
“I moved to Hollywood to be an actor,” Schneider recalled Barker saying, “and the only person who ever let me do it was Adam Sandler!”
