[@walkinglootchest1251]

The kid who played Chunk was so naturally funny that during the interrogation scene where he's confessing everything the director just let him ad-lib a bunch of confessions and went on for about 45 minutes straight making up different hilarious confessions all while maintaining the crying. Also, I love when the dad rips up the papers and throws them in the air because you can see a different set of ripped up papers being immediately thrown in behind his hands to make it seem like there was more ripped up than it actually was. Lol

[@RuphusR]

The Goonies was the quintessential "pack of friends" kid's movie of the 80's. Before it, the only thing similar I can remember is The Little Rascals (1955) which was way before my time but was played in re-runs on television. After the success of The Goonies, we would occasionally see another gang of friends on bikes pop up in the movies or on television: Stand By Me (1986), The Monster Squad (1987), It (1990), Hook (1991), The Sandlot (1993). Each show contained the same tropes of danger, adventure, and friendship. 80's kids could relate because most of us had bicycles and were latch key kids (we would come home from school to an empty home because our parents were still at work). So as you can imagine we got into a lot of trouble, adventure, danger (both real and imagined), and fun. We pestered, pranked, bullied, and relied on each other until our parents came home to cook dinner. It was fun and it was scary but we took care of each other: brothers, sisters, cousins, and friends. Good times!

[@creatingpulsars9979]

it's because this particular group of kids lived in the goon docks, it's the poorer neighborhood in Astoria, Oregon we hear mikie mention. The slang term "goonie" to be used to refer to a good group of friends originated from this film. But the reason they call each other 'goonies" in the context of the movie is because of they're all from the goon docks.

There are lots more unseen deleted scenes like Andy taking the goonies oath before the kids find leeches all over themselves. Mikey was also supposed to tell a story about his parents losing on Let's Make a Deal because they picked the wrong door. And later they find a passageway with three doors next to a skeleton. The clue says to push the "funny bone" on the skeleton to make it point to the right door. They don't know where to find it, then Stef pushes its crotch and it points to door #2.

1980s are pretty infamous for just not sugar-coating kids' films, whether it's death or scary scenes. - Who Framed Roger Rabbit had the child-traumatizing scene of Doom murdering a cartoon shoe. - Littlefoot's mom dies in Land Before Time. - Artax in the swamp in The Neverending Story. - Dark Crystal has a LOT of secondary characters who die. - Secret of NIMH had the main villain kill two characters and almost murders a bunch of kids. - Return to Oz had the freaky Wheelers. I'm sure everyone who was a kid in that decade can think of a lot of similar movies where thinking back, you wonder - "they made this movie for KIDS? I'm not sure that Disney/Pixar would make something this dark now."

[@HermanVonPetri]

They are the same note _now_ but historically they may not have been depending on how the instrument was tuned. It's complicated. Before equal temperament was developed in the 1600's you had to tune a piano differently for each key you wanted to play in. And there was just enough of a difference in frequency of the note at the end of one scale to not quite overlap the beginning of the next octave. Some keyboards were made during this period that actually offered different keys with different tones for enharmonic notes like A# and Bb, D# and Eb. One would be used for the ascending notes and the other sounded better for descending notes and other chords. They are called "enharmonic keyboards" and could conceivably have been around during the period that this trap might have been made.

Really enjoying your reactions! You were wondering about the pirate ship at the end, and whether they were going to go "catch" it. That's actually covered in the novelization. The aftermath to the Goonies' adventure, as described in detail in the novel, makes the happy ending in the movie even sweeter. In short: The Coast Guard eventually towed the Inferno to shore, to protect shipping. At that point, the entire ship and its contents -- including the treasure -- became Mikey's property (due to ship salvage laws). With all that loot on hand, he and his family were able to turn Astoria into one of the best and happiest small towns in America. Perhaps sweetest of all: The novel ends with a celebration for the Cohen family: A bar mitzvah -- for Sloth. They really did adopt him, just like Chunk promised!

When they turned around and saw the ship, Josh Brolin messed up and basically yelled "Holy shit!!!" Obviously they had to reshoot it.

[@claymccoy]

Because they didn't see the ship until they shot the scene so they can get the kids genuine reactions.

[@santaonthecross]

The criminal mom, Anne Ramsey, also plays in Throw Mama From The Train. An excellent movie that i don't ever see reactions to.

[@0okamino]

The lack of reactions is a real shame. That movie is hilarious.

For December can you guys check out Klaus. It's an animated Netflix Christmas movie that was nominated for an Oscar. And should have one imo

[@adriansue8955]

I'm gonna have to Rewatch this now haven't seen since a kid, and so many jokes that went over my head....

[@tjchesney4997]

George getting his knuckles wrapped for a tongue (cunnilingus) joke, did it for me!

[@coreyrees840]

Yes, the futurama things is 100% a call to this classic

[@jonwmeyer11]

For someone who grew up in the 80's this was the quintessential film.

I always thought Goonies were guys who lived in the boonies

[@timstackii]

I've visited the jail (now a goonies museum) at the beginning of the movie on our last road trip ... It even had the Fratelli's car parked out front. Also visited Ecola State Park where the cabin was located and saw the rock (Cannon Beach) used to line up with the coin.

To your question "Which actor saved the most people on screen?": Probably Matt Smith in Doctor Who. He stopped the destruction of time itself (and therefor essentially saved everything that ever lived in the universe) at least twice. So .... take that, Marvel! :P

[@GMontag]

Ke Huy Quan helped saved the entire multiverse in Everything Everywhere All At Once though. I think that beats just saving a single universe.

[@HelloMisterJAMWAH]

Never thought of it this way before today but the constant overtalking is a holdover from 70s filmmakers like Robert Altman who constantly pushed for natural conversation. It's not easy to follow sometimes but it's how kids talk

[@0okamino]

Now that I think about it, when I was a kid, if three of my friends and I were talking about something, it was probably pretty difficult for anyone outside the conversation to follow it. 😄

[@KJ-tz7vc]

It's almost shocking today to see kids in a movie swearing and joking like adults -- but that is exactly how we talked as kids, at least in the '80s.

[@JustWasted3HoursHere]

Yes, that was the guy from The Matrix that betrayed them, Cypher, played by Joe Pantoliano. This was back when he still had hair on his head. He did an excellent movie called "Midnight Run" (with Robert De Niro and Charles Grodin) which you should watch.

[@mrlol2238]

Excellent…..bet you never look at ….hobbits ….thanos. …Indiana Jones …anything star wars …jaws is sauron …Et is the mother …the same way again?!

[@Ghost8386]

Brand Walsh, aka young Thanos, played Josh Brolin. This was Josh Brolin's first movie.

[@TheRealRodent]

Just started watching... "This is a kids' movie?" Erm, it's an 80s kids' movie. Nuff said. Also notice, one of the first lines of dialogue from one of the kids, in this case Chunk... is "Aw shit!" Yeah, 80s kids movies. Made for everyone. Oh, trivia... the actor who played Mikey and Brand's father at the end, the guy with glasses who tears up the contract thing.... he wrote the movie Free Willy.

[@mikelant6802]

This is thee classic kids movie that stands the test of time. No cell phones and your imagination is what made great memories with friends. Goonies is a term for Oregonians also they lived near the "Goon docks".

[@Journeyman.71]

1. Not sure I'd call The Goonies a "kids' movie;" I'd say it's more of a "family movie." It's great for kids, sure, but, it does have some more "mature themes." All ages can enjoy it! 2. What is a Goonie? In the movie's fictional version of Astoria, OR, the "poor" part of town is called the Goon Docks. The kids from there call themselves "Goonies," with pride! 3. Most wishing wells (in my experience) have the coins collected for a specified charity.

[@mr.battle20]

Funny you mention the Avengers saving half the universe, considering the actor who played Brand (Josh Brolin) also played Thanos.
