During the 1st grade passing party, the clown is on tall tall stilts, he then falls. At the end, when he gets back up during their song to "encourage" Billy, his stilts are gone...where did they go?
Seriously, don't you think its kind of funny that he was dead and now he is all of a sudden alive? So, really, who cares about the stilts? If he can come back to life, I'm sure he can take off the stilts.
He didn't HAVE to have stilts, that was just for the party. Plus, I don't think I would want to go back on stilts either if they caused me to get "a broken leg and a hemorrhage in my head"...
Yeah.... he also has been lying there for nearly 15 weeks and sings a song about the fact that he has a broken leg and a brain hemorrhage. I think we can go ahead and write this whole scene up as "Mere slapstick silliness" and not really worry about whether or not he was wearing stilt or she was wearing the Swedish Yodeler's dress.
If you also look at the clown when he gets up when they are singing the song after Veronica Vaughn beats the sh*t out of Billy you would think his pants would be very long, you know, to cover the stilts. But you can see his shoes and his pants are regular length. =)
Folks! To analyze an Adam Sandler movie for a clown's stilts is just plain silly! This is a movie written by Adam and his college roommate, Tim Herlihy and the fact that these people are singing in the pool with Miss Vaughan in a Swedish outfit and ALL of the children present is proof enough that the stilts were not a factor in the clown's magical re-emergance to encourage Billy. Lighten up and enjoy.
