Our last camping trip to New York City was at Camp Alpine in New Jersey and while we were there they were filming Happy Gilmore 2. The time before that when we camped there they were filming the Night of the Living Dead which we got to see first hand and all the crew and equipment were in the Parking lot. There was a full moon also. So, in Happy Gilmore 2 Connecticut license plates appear many times. When he gets arrested Fox 61,WTNH,and WFSB Eyewitness News Microphones try to interview Adam Sandler WFSB's news truck can be seen. Gilmores mug shot has a Waterbury Police Dept logo on it. I have tried to determine which part of the movie was filmed at the Camp Alpine and the only area that looks like it is in the beginning when he first picks up golf clubs.
