KEVIN POLOWY: Some 25 years after "Happy Gilmore," what are some of your-- the memories that sort of stick out in your mind from-- from that movie today?

JULIE BOWEN: Well, most of all, that, at the time, I just thought, "Oh, no one will ever see this." And I was-- couldn't have been more wrong. But the, you know, Bob Barker fight--

BOB BARKER: There is no way that you could have been as bad at hockey as you are at golf.

HAPPY GILMORE: All right, let's go. You like that, old man?

JULIE BOWEN: --still just really cracks me up every time and just thinking about that day and how nobody-- no one was sure how it was gonna go. On paper, it sounds like maybe it's going to be funny. But boy, it was funny.

HAPPY GILMORE: The price is wrong, bitch.

JULIE BOWEN: Oh, the Zamboni scene with "Endless Love." I was so nervous to do that. And I was like, ooh, is it too earnest? Is it too serious? Then you see the movie and you're like, no, don't worry. The more earnest and serious, the better. Just the guy mouthing "Endless Love" along with it.

JULIE BOWEN: It was-- there was a lot to remember. But he still has a lot of the same crew, same writers, same producers. So it's not like remember so and so? He's right there.

He's still there. So it-- it felt like stepping into a little bit of a-- a train that's been going the whole time. And I just got to jump on for a little while.
