4. Chubb's Hand (Happy Gilmore, 1996)
There's no denying that the thought of a disembodied hand roaming around the streets looking for victims is as funny as it is scary. But there are other ways hands can be funny without stooping to scare tactics. In fact they can exist outside of the horror genre altogether. Don't believe me? Then check out the hilarious 1996 Adam Sandler 'classic' Happy Gilmore. Gilmore is an ex-hockey player with a nasty temper who turns to golf after he is banned from his favourite sport for life. By utilising his hockey skills Happy manages to become an overnight sensation on the golfing green with no small thanks to his mentor Chubbs Peterson, played to perfection by Carl Weathers (Predator). The unique thing about good ol' Chubbs is he has a prosthetic hand - a terrible, oversized, wooden one at that. So while Sandler hams it up as the main attraction (and in fairness does it well) it's actually Chubbs fake hand that completely steals the show again and again, no more so than in the pairs first meeting (see clip) and Chubbs final hurrah after Gilmore presents him with the head of the alligator that bit his real right hand off. It's a perfectly timed comedic moment that will genuinely make you laugh out loud - and all thanks to the use of a prosthetic black hand. You'll have to watch the film to find out more.
