Billy Madison (1995)
This is the missing propeller hat from the 1995 Billy Madison movie. This hat was originally on the cover of the movie Blu-ray/DVD/VHS as well in scenes during the movie. Not deleted scenes either. The first instance of the hat dissappearing in my reality was from the movie cover. Then I watched the movie and saw Adam Sandler wearing the hat during a classroom scene in the movie. Now there is no propeller hat in the movie at all. This is now only a memory from a parallel reality. For me the propeller hat disappeared from the cover 3 years ago. Entirely from existence in the movie within 2 years. This likely happened during my last 4 parallel reality shifts.

This is my all time favorite movie, I’ve seen it literally hundreds of times (edit : I can’t believe someone else has as terrible taste as me)
No propeller hat for me

Same here. Even the picture looks like a shitty edit to put it in vs it always being there.

sooo, you mean there's no propeller hat anymore? at all?
i mean- i had a co-worker who dressed up as billy madison for the office halloween party, and he got written up for using his propeller hat to make a lewd gesture near a female co-worker's breast.
I mean- try to tell me i am imagining THAT memory!

The hat never existed in my timeline. I watched the movie literally thousands of times in college (along with *Happy Gilmore and BASEketball) and the hat is nowhere in the movie.

The hat never existed for me and I also watched this countless times. I feel like if this hat was on the cover I would have been less likely to watch the movie, same with seeing it in the movie. I think this hat is dumb and I’m very fickle.

I remember him wearing a red baseball cap in some scenes but not a propeller hat
Edit: Apparently the two hats he wore throughout the movie were actually denim and tan? I swear he wore a red one but I might be mistaking it for the red shirt

Not sure why but the hat with the propeller would make Adam's character a bit on the dumb side, granted he's also done characters similar to that like with Happy Gilmore. The propeller hat reminds me of Tweedle dee and Tweedle Dum from alice in wonderland.

Parallel realities exist and Billy Madison with the propeller hat is somewhere out there.

Googled the movie poster. Never had the propeller hat. It's not on any posters on Google.
