Thanks for watching! Let me know your thoughts on The Goonies & be sure to subscribe for upcoming reactions like Stand By Me, Everything Everywhere All At Once, All About Eve, and The Time Machine (1960).
The Goonies came out when I was 10 years old and I went to see it with my mom in Glendale, California. I was the perfect age for it and it really imprinted on me. Every time I see it, I'm 10 again. The score always gets me.
Saw this 6 times in the theater. Still makes me cry with joy. No other kids film has ever held the magic this film has. SO GLAD you enjoyed it my friend!
I'm glad you enjoyed it, because I never root for someone to have a bad time with a movie, but man do I hate this film. The kids are so annoying and the plot is utterly ludicrous. I contend that nostalgia is all that is driving the popularity of The Goonies, and it does not hold up at all.
Yeah, I came to Goonies late in life and do not love it. I don't hate it, but the kids are a bit much and the plot is messy IMO. I might love it if I had seen it as a kid. Instead I saw David Lynch's Dune!
Great choice! But I think Stand By Me is an even better choice. I regard The Goonies as the yin to Stand By Me's yang. Where The Goonies is a fun comedy adventure, it has its touches of darkness. Where Stand By Me is a weighty drama, it has its touches of lightheartedness and comedy. Each of the boys has a counterpart in each movie and there are so many things between these two movies that "rhyme", if you know what I mean.
The Goonies is indeed an absolute classic! I was just 5 years old when it was released... I think I was age 7 when I saw it for the 1st time -- glad to see you finally enjoying this one! :)
@@arisucheddar3097 Cool! I was born in July 1980... I also watched it on cable. Probably via one of those free weekends of HBO they used to bless us poor folks with. :) Good times!
The kid in me is smiling right now. I loved this movie growing up. Chunk was my favorite character and I use to do the Truffle Shuffle as a child🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣. You gotta love and appreciate 80s kids movies. Hope you react to The Lost Boys.
absolutely a total fun movie. Goonies never say die. The music, Cyndi Lauper wrote "Good Enough for me" for this movie. Still watch this from time to time. Fun reaction.
I love this movie. I watch it every time I’m sick, it’s just so fun. And of course I remember having a crush on baby Sean Aston and Corey Feldman, and Josh Brolin too. So many huge names from the 80’s in it.
All the young cast were great but especially Sean Astin. Mikey is my favourite character and I love his our time speech to motivate everyone. It's a great movie.
Wonderful reaction! I couldn't count how many times I've seen "The Goonies", but it never gets old! It's as fresh as it was 37 years ago when I first saw it. Btw, if you want a great pirate film, I highly recommend "Captain Blood" (1935) starring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland, and Basil Rathbone. As far as I'm concerned, the greatest pirate movie ever made. You'll love it!
The young actor who played Chunk should have received Oscar consideration for his performance... it's that good. And not "good for a child actor" good but it's legitimately a great comic performance. And yet he's one of the few Goonies actors who didn't go on to have a career in the industry.
Goonies should be required viewing for kids, but I'm glad when people discover it at any age. A childhood fave of mine and an 80's classic to be sure. So much great young talent, but Sean Astin still stands out. You can see the future Samwise speeches in his 'our time' monologue. And following with Everything Everywhere All at Once? 🥰 I was overjoyed when I heard Ke Huy Quan returned to acting and rushed to the theater for EEAaO.
The kid who played Data, Ke Huy Quan, was also Short Round in Temple of Doom. Just watched an interview with him: he couldn't get further work as an actor. He was *THE* iconic Asain kid in 80's movies...but them roles just didn't exist for him. He's in the new Everything, Everywhere... and he's extra badass! Oh yeah, Chris, the Superman music being used...Richard Donner directed both this and the '78 Superman, so...
That’s epic that he’s in everything, everywhere! I’m hoping it’s released so I can react to it the third week of june. That’s a great tidbit to know before hand.
@@CasualNerdReactions extra-cute detail...his little brother was auditioning for Temple of Doom. He *wasn't*, he was just there with his brother. They asked Ke Huy to do a screen test and he ended up being Short Round in Indiana Jones. Wonder if their family dinners were a bit tense for a while. 😬
When you see somebody react to a movie you love, you're always hoping they like it as much as you did. Glad you enjoyed it! It's a fun kids adventure. I loved watching it as a kid in the 80s, and it still brings out the kid in me when I see it today. Fun Fact: They wanted to get the kids' genuine reactions when they saw the ship for the first time. Josh Brolin (Brand) had a genuine reaction: He blurted out "F*ck!"...and ruined the take. So they filmed it again, without the curse words.
This movie was released when I was 7. It was a huge part of my childhood with my best friend and I pretending to go on adventures in the woods behind our houses to find a sunken treasure. It instantly makes me smile when I hear the intro song.
This was one of my childhood movies and I recently got to take my 15-year-old to see it in a theater where they play an older film every other Wednesday. I was worried that she might think it was too cheesy or be too uncomfortable watching in a crowded theater since she’s been dealing with anxiety, but no… she loved it. We both got to see Casablanca at that theater for the first time, too. I recommend checking your local theaters to see if any play older films. It’s an amazing thing to be able to watch a Humphrey Bogart film for the first time like that, or an 80s adventure film.
Great movie. I was lucky enough to not only grow up in the truly awesome 80’s in the OC, but this movie came out in ‘85 when I was 8. Really really good times. Only wish I could go back. 🤙🏻
I'm 40 and I NEVER get bored of watching it....and now my 8 year old boy watches it. This truly stands the test of time as a classic kids movie. Thanks for reacting to it 👌
Been a favourite since I was a teenager. :) Did you notice it was Sean Astin playing Mikey. Better known as Samwise Gamgee in Lord of the Rings. :) Josh Brolin was so young lol.
I am so glad you had fun with this. Imagine being a 10 year old kid seeing this in the theater. What an adventure!!! I was obsessed :) Great reaction as always!
For people who wonder WHY the shorts over the sweats? When you sit on a wet surface in sweats, looks/feels like an accident occurred. Shorts prevented that. Practical and Functional.
So, I couldn't believe that it was 1985 when this came out due to my denial about getting older in general, so I looked it up. Did you know that it was released on this day in 1985? Of course, maybe you planned that? lol
"Don't you realize? The next time you see sky, it'll be over another town. The next time you take a test, it'll be in some other school. Our parents, they want the best of stuff for us. But right now, they got to do what's right for them. Because it's their time. Their time! Up there! Down here, it's our time. It's our time down here. That's all over the second we ride up Troy's bucket." Fun Fact: One Eyed Willie's ship, "The Inferno", was 105 feet long and took 2-1/2 months to construct. It was modeled after Errol Flynn's ship in The Sea Hawk (1940). The sails required more than 7,000 sq. ft. of material, the largest measured 30 ft. by 60 ft. The cast was not allowed to see the pirate ship before the scene was shot, as director Richard Donner wanted to catch their genuine reactions at the size and scope of it. When they did see it, Josh Brolin was so surprised that he exclaimed "Holy shit!" ...The scene had to be re-shot. When filming ended, some of the ship's rigging was recycled for the "Pirates Of The Caribbean" ship at Disneyland, which was being renovated at the time. Heartbreaking Fact: According to Sean Astin, he was allowed to keep the treasure map used in the film. Several years later his mother Patty Duke (an actress herself) discovered it, thought it was just a crinkled piece of paper, and threw it in the bin.
Indeed. I do have one more thing to add: Historical Fact: The Fratellis are loosely based off Ma Barker and the Barker-Karpis gang during the "public enemy era" of America crime history. While Ma Barker's leadership is in dispute, she was definitely an accomplish to the gang's many robberies and murders. Ma Barker and the gang met their end in a house off Lake Weir in Florida. You should read more about them.
If you're wondering about Data's line at the end "The octopus was very scary," there was a scene of them being attacked by an octopus that got cut, but the complex conversations going on between everyone in the final scene meant it was more trouble than it was worth to take out that reference to it.
I remember when I first saw this and when Mouth spoke Spanish in the first act I kinda thought (hmm, Mouth can speak Spanish all for a "joke.") It just felt somehow a bit random for the purpose of a "gag." But then when they needed someone to translate Spanish along the way, Mouth was their "go to." Without establishing it earlier, Mouth's ability to speak Spanish might suddenly have seemed convenient, like "oh, so Mouth speaks Spanish, that's lucky." Clever writing (IMO).😁👍
Every time I see this movie in recent years, I am reminded of the first time I saw Fellowship of the Ring and I kept getting pulled out of the story by remembering other roles the various actors played. Most notably Gandalf as Magneto, Elrond as Agent Smith, and Samwise as Mikey. In Moria I kept on expecting him to pull out "It's their time up there, up there it's their time. Down here it's our time, it's our time down here."
Love this one! I actually just watched it with my kids for the first time the other day. The beach where they are standing when the old ship comes sailing out at the end is at Ecola state park in Oregon, we get to visit that beach every year. Other films with scenes from that beach/park are: Twilight, Point Break, Kindergarten Cop, Free Willy, and Permanent Record! Just a fun fact (and really great area to visit if you ever have the chance!)
Ma Fratelli is played by the very memorable Anne Ramsey. Catch her in another great film with billy Crystal and Danny DeVito, where she plays the title role: "Throw Momma From The Train".
I better start with a confession regarding the film. The first time I ever watched it was in a English lesson just before Christmas in 1985. The trouble is the copy that teacher had got was a pirate video, no pun intended!!!! Still, it was such an enjoyable film to watch and I think that it still holds up well today. It was made all the more special as there was a classroom full of children not only excited to see such a new film at the time but to get out of an English lesson! I've enjoyed your enthusiasm whilst you watch different films and so I've taken the opportunity available to me, I have now subscribed to your channel.
So Thanos and Samwise the hobbit used to be brothers when they were kids, it’s kind of mind blowing if you’re high like I am. Seriously though this movie is a classic.👍🤣
21:16 Fun fact: That is the gang’s actual reaction to the ship, for the most part. I’ll explain; the whole set for the ship, the director for the set design actually forbid them from seeing it being built, it was all behind closed doors so it wasn’t until they did the water slide scene that they did see the inside. The reason for “the most part” though was because they had to do more take’s because their initial reaction was cursing in surprise. 🤣 Bonus fact: Ever wondered what happened to the ship after filming? Well if you’ve been to Disneyland you may have already seen the outcome. Yep, the ship was repurposed for the classic Pirates of the Caribbean ride!
I think you would enjoy the movie airplane. There’s a joke in it about every 10 seconds. It’s a movie that you have to watch as a sarcastic slapstick comedy. You cannot take it seriously at all.
I started recommending The Goonies when my daughter was about 7 years old, it took over a year before she reluctantly agreed. It was her FAVORITE movie for years! Anytime I wanted her to try something new, I would say, 'You never know... it might be really Goonie!' 🤭
A movie you can always put on and never get sick of, takes me back to being a kid in the 80s, I'd love to visit Astoria to see the places they filmed this, such a beautiful location. Also fun fact the scene when they land in the water seeing the pirate ship for the 1st time was their genuine reaction. They kept that a secret for them to get their actual surprises
OMG!! I've seen this hundreds of times and I've never heard a more perfect comparison of the villains to the Bugle Brothers on Duck Tails - which I also love!! You had them pegged perfectly in the first two minutes in the movie!
My favorite coincidence! I actually shuffled my schedule this week with “everything everywhere all at once” being released this week so it wasn’t even planned for today until Sunday. Had no idea it was the anniversary.
I’m sure you have a long watch list, but I suggest adding “Explorers” from 1985. It stars Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix and was directed by Joe Dante (who also did Gremlins). Without spoiling anything, it is another film where kids go on a larger than life adventure!
Saw it in the theater in 85 when I was 7, loved it.. but I was initially upset that we didnt see my preferred movie choice, GHOULIES, a low budget Gremlins knockoff. In hindsight I dodged a bullet... all those movies are terrible (and yes they made several)
A.bstract I.nversion discovery! The attic held many Easter eggs. One is the Tesla static ball! Mirror: Sloth's popular "Hey you guuuys!" came from Rita (West Side Story) Moreno who shouted that phrase on the '71-'77 kids show...'The Electric Company.' I used to watch it and remember my first time ever seeing Stan Lee's name during their horrible 'Spiderman' skits. 🤤🤣
So the movie that Sloth is watching on the tv when he's chained up is "Captain Blood" (1935, Errol Flynn) - I highly recommend that film as well "Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938) as Errol Flynn, Olivia deHavilland, & Basil Rathbone co-starred in both films. Robin Hood also has Claude Rains, while Captain Blood has Lionel Atwill & my favorite Ross Alexander.
SO glad you enjoyed this film! I was 8 when it came out- my parents took me to see it and because the tv spots heavily leaned into the pirate stuff and the title had a skull in it, I was sure they were taking me to see something scary. What a surprise! It was the movie everyone went back to school on Monday and talked about. We were constantly pretending to be part of The Goonies forevermore! The video for Mick Jagger and David Bowie singing "Dancing in the Streets" was attached to the film- my dad was pumped to see "a short" before the movie. I had no concept of what a short was and fully expected to see some short pants when we walked into the theater.
I was a kid of the 80’s, we pretty much ram head first into everything, especially adventures. Loved your reaction. It first matter if you see it for the first time as a kid an adult, you become one of the kids.
This is classic! So much fun! Great cast! Great soundtrack! Never gets old! The kids reactions to seeing the pirate ship are authentic. It was the first time they'd seen it and the director was able to capture that real moment for the film.
5:08 I love how a movie about a “local legend” got interest again after the inspiration for the movie, a shipwreck on the coast, was recently discovered. xD
My kids grew up on this vhs. They were only 2 when it came out but they wore thay vhs tape out. Even as an adult I loved this movie and still do. I now have it on dvd. 😁 *Monster Squad* is another one in somewhat the same vein only it involves several of the Universal Classic Monsters.
Such a classic and one of my favorite childhood movies! Great reaction! The only childhood movie that gets me in the heart just a tad more is E.T., if you have never seen it PLEASE do a reaction to it!
Saw this one in the theater as a child. It was both magical and hilarious. And mom enjoyed herself as much as my brother and I, which is always a nice bonus.
I adored your reaction! I love how you've never seen it, it was refreshing to see an adult perspective yet you're young at heart ❤. It really is a terrific movie for all ages and still holds up well too.
Chris it’s not just called the gonnies bc of the gang it’s also called the goonies bc in Astoria ppl call the poor ppl the goonies that live on the goon docks
I've read that their first reaction made the kids use curse words because the ship looked so incredible, so they had to shoot it again and use that cut.
I've seen this movie so many times but I just thought about his wish being the coin that was thrown back out of the well. I can't believe it took me so long to think about that😂
While most of the kids grew up to continue acting, the actor who played "Chunk" did some voice over work for "Scooby Doo" and did his last film in '91. As an adult, he lost a ton of weight and decided to study law. Today, he's a successful Legal Representative in L.A. Just some "random trivia" 😁
"Hey You Guys!" was a catch phrase from the PBS 70s kids educational show The Electric Company. It was kind of in the vein of Sesame Street but hipper and urban w kids of all shapes and colors. It might have been one of the first with Black, Latino, and White kids all together. I loved that show. The Goonies, like ET, was the ultimate expression of American childhood. Not that we had adventures like The Goonies but we all had little adventures as kids independent of our parents. I remember us grade school kids all tearing around the neighborhood on our bikes after school, building a club house in a vacant lot (sometimes smoking cigarettes we stole from our parents), and swimming in a ditch that ran through it. This movie captures that independent spirit and made it the ultimate fantasy. Sadly, the 80s might have been the last decade where childhood was like that.
yes, I worry that kids now cant ever have adventures like that because parents hover and schedule soooo much. Kids aren't left to their own devices anymore (in spite of them ostensibly being even safer these days! They can always be in touch with an adult if something happens)- we had a long stretch of time between breakfast and dinner to get up to anything we could think of. Good times.
Right back to my childhood! I remember spending the night at a friend's house and his mom went to rent this movie and misread the title-- came back with The Ghoulies. Hmmm... Not exactly the same.
My mom hated this movie, so I wasn’t allowed to watch it as a kid. Watched it for the first three years ago, and I really enjoyed it… but if I’d seen it as a child, I’d absolutely have loved it.
Thanks for watching! Let me know your thoughts on The Goonies & be sure to subscribe for upcoming reactions like Stand By Me, Everything Everywhere All At Once, All About Eve, and The Time Machine (1960).
I love The Time Machine, I eagerly await that reaction!
I've enjoyed this movie from the time it first came out and it made me a fan of the Errol Flynn pirate/sea movies.
Can't wait for All About Eve & The Time Machine!
The Goonies came out when I was 10 years old and I went to see it with my mom in Glendale, California. I was the perfect age for it and it really imprinted on me. Every time I see it, I'm 10 again. The score always gets me.
Chunk grew up to be a real cutie! He's an entertainment lawyer who's best friends with my nephew and a super nice guy!
Saw this 6 times in the theater. Still makes me cry with joy. No other kids film has ever held the magic this film has. SO GLAD you enjoyed it my friend!
And what about "Ronja Rövardotter (Ronia, the Robber's Daughter)"? That's pure magic to me.
Aw man I’d have loved to see it in cinemas when it came out🥺💕
@@katie_cant_compute It was GLORIOUS on a big screen Katie!!! And u never know!!! XOXO
@@tubekulose I also loved Astrid Lingren's The Brothers Lionheart which I read 20 times over. Pure magic!
As a kid, I had such a crush on a Josh Brolin in this movie, especially when he was in the sheriff's jacket at the end.
Don't worry, pall...I guarantee you that I also thought all of Chester Copperpot's candles were TNT.
Still a proud Goonie at heart, and if you enjoyed this movie, then welcome to the club! ☠️
I'm glad you enjoyed it, because I never root for someone to have a bad time with a movie, but man do I hate this film. The kids are so annoying and the plot is utterly ludicrous. I contend that nostalgia is all that is driving the popularity of The Goonies, and it does not hold up at all.

Hey Chris...your reaction was as fun as the movie. Nice job.
The natural thing to do after The Goonies is to watch *The Lost Boys (1987)* .
Great choice! But I think Stand By Me is an even better choice.
I regard The Goonies as the yin to Stand By Me's yang. Where The Goonies is a fun comedy adventure, it has its touches of darkness. Where Stand By Me is a weighty drama, it has its touches of lightheartedness and comedy.

But then when they needed someone to translate Spanish along the way, Mouth was their "go to." Without establishing it earlier, Mouth's ability to speak Spanish might suddenly have seemed convenient, like "oh, so Mouth speaks Spanish, that's lucky."
Clever writing (IMO).😁👍
The host mentions swearing in 80s kid movies but hardly anyone considers the continuous "One-Eyed Willie" references! 😉
Every time I see this movie in recent years, I am reminded of the first time I saw Fellowship of the Ring and I kept getting pulled out of the story by remembering other roles the various actors played. Most notably Gandalf as Magneto, Elrond as Agent Smith, and Samwise as Mikey. In Moria I kept on expecting him to pull out "It's their time up there, up there it's their time. Down here it's our time, it's our time down here."
Love this one! I actually just watched it with my kids for the first time the other day. The beach where they are standing when the old ship comes sailing out at the end is at Ecola state park in Oregon, we get to visit that beach every year. Other films with scenes from that beach/park are: Twilight, Point Break, Kindergarten Cop, Free Willy, and Permanent Record! Just a fun fact (and really great area to visit if you ever have the chance!)
Ma Fratelli is played by the very memorable Anne Ramsey. Catch her in another great film with billy Crystal and Danny DeVito, where she plays the title role: "Throw Momma From The Train".
I better start with a confession regarding the film. The first time I ever watched it was in a English lesson just before Christmas in 1985. The trouble is the copy that teacher had got was a pirate video, no pun intended!!!! Still, it was such an enjoyable film to watch and I think that it still holds up well today. It was made all the more special as there was a classroom full of children not only excited to see such a new film at the time but to get out of an English lesson!
I've enjoyed your enthusiasm whilst you watch different films and so I've taken the opportunity available to me, I have now subscribed to your channel.
So Thanos and Samwise the hobbit used to be brothers when they were kids, it’s kind of mind blowing if you’re high like I am. Seriously though this movie is a classic.👍🤣
21:16 Fun fact: That is the gang’s actual reaction to the ship, for the most part.
I’ll explain; the whole set for the ship, the director for the set design actually forbid them from seeing it being built, it was all behind closed doors so it wasn’t until they did the water slide scene that they did see the inside. The reason for “the most part” though was because they had to do more take’s because their initial reaction was cursing in surprise. 🤣
Bonus fact: Ever wondered what happened to the ship after filming? Well if you’ve been to Disneyland you may have already seen the outcome. Yep, the ship was repurposed for the classic Pirates of the Caribbean ride!
I think you would enjoy the movie airplane. There’s a joke in it about every 10 seconds. It’s a movie that you have to watch as a sarcastic slapstick comedy. You cannot take it seriously at all.
I started recommending The Goonies when my daughter was about 7 years old, it took over a year before she reluctantly agreed.
It was her FAVORITE movie for years!
Anytime I wanted her to try something new, I would say, 'You never know... it might be really Goonie!' 🤭
Haha that’s great! It might be goonie is going to come out of my mouth I’be day and people are gonna look at me like… what?
@@CasualNerdReactions other Goonies will know!! 💜💜💜
Such a classic. I was just a little kid when it came out so I’ve seen it more times then I can count and it never gets old.
Love the Goonies!!!
A movie you can always put on and never get sick of, takes me back to being a kid in the 80s, I'd love to visit Astoria to see the places they filmed this, such a beautiful location. Also fun fact the scene when they land in the water seeing the pirate ship for the 1st time was their genuine reaction. They kept that a secret for them to get their actual surprises
I still have an undying crush on Kerri Green. *drools*
Absolutely Love This Classic!!
OMG!! I've seen this hundreds of times and I've never heard a more perfect comparison of the villains to the Bugle Brothers on Duck Tails - which I also love!! You had them pegged perfectly in the first two minutes in the movie!
Maybe duck tales based those characters off the goonies?!
I love hook to! that's another one of my favorites🥰
Is it just a coincidence that you uploaded this on June 7th? According to wikipedia it was released on Friday, June 7th 1985.
My favorite coincidence! I actually shuffled my schedule this week with “everything everywhere all at once” being released this week so it wasn’t even planned for today until Sunday. Had no idea it was the anniversary.
One of my favourite childhood movies. I will never tire of watching this movie or any reactions to it.
I haven’t watched other reactions yet, but I will for sure be doing that to this one!
HEYYY
YOUUUU
GUYYYYYYYYYYS
I’m sure you have a long watch list, but I suggest adding “Explorers” from 1985. It stars Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix and was directed by Joe Dante (who also did Gremlins). Without spoiling anything, it is another film where kids go on a larger than life adventure!
Never heard of it, but it sounds fun.
It's a cute movie. I would've pointed out the parents were never legally served the documents. They left the paperwork with minors lol
Haha a great point.
This is why the 80’s was so magical.
Filmed in my home town, Always reminds me of being 11 years old!
That’s amazing!
Saw it in the theater in 85 when I was 7, loved it.. but I was initially upset that we didnt see my preferred movie choice, GHOULIES, a low budget Gremlins knockoff. In hindsight I dodged a bullet... all those movies are terrible (and yes they made several)
I have never seen those films- even heard of them! wild.
To it’s merit, though, _Ghoulies_ is b-movie hilarity, and worth a watch for that. Hey, it’s at least not as bad as _Hobgoblins._ 😆
There's a band called Troy's Bucket
HAHA That's awesome! Should be David Geffen's Bitch though.
I love this movie ❤
Most people don't recognize Josh Brolin as the older brother, Brand...neat movie!
I definitely wouldn’t have if I hadn’t looked up the cast first.
@@CasualNerdReactions Absolutely love your movie reactions...I don't miss a thing now - thanks so much for what must be a lot of hard work!
A.bstract I.nversion discovery!
The attic held many Easter eggs.
One is the Tesla static ball!
Mirror:
Sloth's popular "Hey you guuuys!" came from Rita (West Side Story) Moreno who shouted that phrase on the '71-'77 kids show...'The Electric Company.'
I used to watch it and remember my first time ever seeing Stan Lee's name during their horrible 'Spiderman' skits. 🤤🤣
Classic!
The Pinchers of power! I was saved by the Pinchers of power!🤣😅😅😆🤣🤣
So the movie that Sloth is watching on the tv when he's chained up is "Captain Blood" (1935, Errol Flynn) - I highly recommend that film as well "Adventures of Robin Hood" (1938) as Errol Flynn, Olivia deHavilland, & Basil Rathbone co-starred in both films. Robin Hood also has Claude Rains, while Captain Blood has Lionel Atwill & my favorite Ross Alexander.
You need to watch Throw Momma From The Train with Billy Crystal and Danny Devito. Anne Ramsey plays Devito's "momma"
Kerri Green later played a cheerleader with Corey HAIM in (Spielberg bud) 'Lucas'.
Wowzer!
5:56, a perfect 3-kid "Kilroy was here!" moment!!
SO glad you enjoyed this film! I was 8 when it came out- my parents took me to see it and because the tv spots heavily leaned into the pirate stuff and the title had a skull in it, I was sure they were taking me to see something scary. What a surprise! It was the movie everyone went back to school on Monday and talked about. We were constantly pretending to be part of The Goonies forevermore!
The video for Mick Jagger and David Bowie singing "Dancing in the Streets" was attached to the film- my dad was pumped to see "a short" before the movie. I had no concept of what a short was and fully expected to see some short pants when we walked into the theater.
My favorite movie when I was a kid. Still to this day, it remains great, such a fun film. Thanks for reacting to it and I’m glad you liked it!
if the story was true the king of england in 1632 would be Charles the first
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_I_of_England
I was a kid of the 80’s, we pretty much ram head first into everything, especially adventures.
Loved your reaction. It first matter if you see it for the first time as a kid an adult, you become one of the kids.
This is classic! So much fun! Great cast! Great soundtrack! Never gets old! The kids reactions to seeing the pirate ship are authentic. It was the first time they'd seen it and the director was able to capture that real moment for the film.
5:08 I love how a movie about a “local legend” got interest again after the inspiration for the movie, a shipwreck on the coast, was recently discovered. xD
I absolutely love this movie. It's a fun action adventure. Chris your reactions to this is priceless. Keep up the great 1st time reactions.
My kids grew up on this vhs. They were only 2 when it came out but they wore thay vhs tape out. Even as an adult I loved this movie and still do. I now have it on dvd. 😁
*Monster Squad* is another one in somewhat the same vein only it involves several of the Universal Classic Monsters.
Such a classic and one of my favorite childhood movies! Great reaction! The only childhood movie that gets me in the heart just a tad more is E.T., if you have never seen it PLEASE do a reaction to it!
Saw this one in the theater as a child. It was both magical and hilarious.
And mom enjoyed herself as much as my brother and I, which is always a nice bonus.
I adored your reaction! I love how you've never seen it, it was refreshing to see an adult perspective yet you're young at heart ❤. It really is a terrific movie for all ages and still holds up well too.
Chris it’s not just called the gonnies bc of the gang it’s also called the goonies bc in Astoria ppl call the poor ppl the goonies that live on the goon docks
the kids reaction to the ship was REAL, they didnt know about the set until they went down the slide and saw it for the first time
I've read that their first reaction made the kids use curse words because the ship looked so incredible, so they had to shoot it again and use that cut.
I've seen this movie so many times but I just thought about his wish being the coin that was thrown back out of the well. I can't believe it took me so long to think about that😂
The three guys escaping in Ducktales are The Beagle Boys.
And big brother became Thanos. And Cable.
It’s the Dune - Lord of the Rings tie-in you didn’t know you needed.
Such a great movie, the best time, I saw this in the cinema as a kid when it came out. Such a better time..
an other film in this genre, Monster Squad.
I adore your enthusiasm! You are a gem.
This movie is my childhood I love your reaction❤
Hey you guys!😁❤
I always heard that quote, but wasn’t sure where it came from exactly.
A.bstract I.nversion moment #2:
Corey Feldman later plays a "Frog" brother who venture's into "One giant coffin" of a vampire cave!
😉😎
The Lost Goonie Boys?
While most of the kids grew up to continue acting, the actor who played "Chunk" did some voice over work for "Scooby Doo" and did his last film in '91.
As an adult, he lost a ton of weight and decided to study law.
Today, he's a successful Legal Representative in L.A.
Just some "random trivia" 😁
Good for Jeff! 👏
"Hey You Guys!" was a catch phrase from the PBS 70s kids educational show The Electric Company. It was kind of in the vein of Sesame Street but hipper and urban w kids of all shapes and colors. It might have been one of the first with Black, Latino, and White kids all together. I loved that show.
The Goonies, like ET, was the ultimate expression of American childhood. Not that we had adventures like The Goonies but we all had little adventures as kids independent of our parents. I remember us grade school kids all tearing around the neighborhood on our bikes after school, building a club house in a vacant lot (sometimes smoking cigarettes we stole from our parents), and swimming in a ditch that ran through it. This movie captures that independent spirit and made it the ultimate fantasy. Sadly, the 80s might have been the last decade where childhood was like that.
yes, I worry that kids now cant ever have adventures like that because parents hover and schedule soooo much. Kids aren't left to their own devices anymore (in spite of them ostensibly being even safer these days! They can always be in touch with an adult if something happens)- we had a long stretch of time between breakfast and dinner to get up to anything we could think of. Good times.
This reminds me of that sketch Ryan George did, about needlessly elaborate ancient booby traps: ruclips.net/video/Cwu1rCjb1Fk/видео.html
I saw that one. So funny. I love Ryan George!
Right back to my childhood! I remember spending the night at a friend's house and his mom went to rent this movie and misread the title-- came back with The Ghoulies. Hmmm... Not exactly the same.
Not the same! I only heard of ghoulish yesterday, but I can imagine the disappointment.
My mom hated this movie, so I wasn’t allowed to watch it as a kid. Watched it for the first three years ago, and I really enjoyed it… but if I’d seen it as a child, I’d absolutely have loved it.
There are so many things I didn’t get to watch as a kid 🤣 I imagine this one mixed with nostalgia would never get old.
You do realise that Mike and his brother are Samwise Gamgee and Thanos, right?
Haha yea, I reference it in the intro :)
That bathroom pause got me good. Think I’ll join you all!
Lol I often take breaks at some point during the film, but never had such a perfect opportunity before!
No one catches the word play on the pirate’s name. ROFL
What is the word play?
ty for this, one of my favorite childhood movies:) ty so much. so love this movies :)
It’s a worthy childhood favorite to be sure!!
