      The 80s were the perfect age for movies. Movies before the 80s had stilted dialogue, the movies after squandered all their funding on special effects (to the point of post-millenium not paying a dime to writing a proper script),a nd then started sanititsing all fun and value out of them. There will never be better movies than the ones from the 80s.

    To answer your question about whether parents were concerned at the beginning when the Fatelli brother is hanging in the cell that they may have chosen a movie that the kids shouldn't see...Well let me tell you, our parents in those days dropped us at the movie theater and didn't actually come in and watch with us. They basically left the mall to raise us. It was a wonderful time to be alive.

      @@dianedeck Well I didn't grow up in the USA and I don't know how many serial killeres were around in my country in the 80s but I didn't even dare to take a candy from a nice old lady on the bus because I had learned never to take candy from strangers. Back then there was also this urban legend spread among us about some strangers giving stickers to children to make them addicted to LSD (they had to be licked like stamps to become sticky). I heared it the first time in primary school and again in middle school. -On the other hand children were more free but also had to take more responsibility for them selves. Since we never had a car I had to take the bus alone to get from one end of our town to the other were our junior scout quarter was even in the evening and I always went to school by my self on puplic transport or on food. Turing our stay at our summer house in the country side my brother and his friend drove there bikes on the wood trails near by all day long, only coming home for meal times. No adult was with them. We didn't went to the movies alone untill middle school though. (I am Austrian just for orientation). For me it was sometimes a little bit too much responsibility.

    5:50 - In this version of Astoria, Oregon, the lower-class part of town is known as the 'Goon-docks.' The kids from the upper-class neighborhoods refer to children that live in those areas as 'goonies.' It's not explained clearly in the movie. You have to put it together.
    7:25 - The song playing here is the movie's theme song, 'The Goonies R Good Enough' by 80s pop sensation Cindy Lauper. The music video of the song is actually a two-parter that loosely reenacts the plot of the movie.
    8:02- So between that last scene and this one is one of two well-known deleted scenes. Mikey and his posse stop at a convenience store where they run into Brand, local bully and son of the developer that plans to level their neighborhood. He takes the map from them and tries to burn it, but they save it in time. That's why if you look at the map in later scenes, the edges are burnt.
    23:53 - They actually built a 100 foot section of water slide to film this scene. They made it seem longer by filming it from different angles. Story goes that the producers and crew would sneak onto the set after filming wrapped for the day and ride it.
    24:00 - Those are the kid's actual reactions to seeing the ship for the first time. They were completely banned from the sound stage until it was time to film so their reactions would be as genuine as possible. This is also the location of the more notorious of the movie's two deleted scenes. As they approached the ship, the kids were attacked by a giant octopus. Data drives it away by cranking up his Walkman and shoving it in the octopus' beak. The scene was cut for time, but the editors accidentally left a reference to it in the final cut.
    31:04 - This was Sean Astin's first major role. He had a number of smaller roles between here and Lord of the Rings, but he had one other major role, staring in the classic football movie Rudy. Several other notable cast members: Data was played by Ke Huy Kwan, who had previously played Short Round in Temple of Doom and recently played a major role in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Mouth was played by Corey Feldman.

      Yeah, the Goondocks is what their part of town is called. Probably started out a really upscale coastal neighborhood, but the town expanded away from it more and more, so it became thought of as boonies, and the people in newer parts of town would say stuff like “Oh, that’s the boonies where the goons live.” Something like that.

    This movie is a classic. I love how it shows Astoria and parts of the Oregon coast. I live in Portland, Oregon, so I always love any movie that takes place here. I actually been to the county jail from the opening scene, that was fun, got some souvenirs. Of course, we couldn't go to the Goonies house though, the owners stopped allowing tours. I also remember the museum. I remember my grandfather driving my family and I down the road the Goonies did and saw the rock formations. The two souvenirs that I got was a replica of the skull key and the replica of the dubloon. Ah memories from my childhood. Also, great video to watch on my 20th birthday.

    A few things I wasn't sure if you caught: the kids live in a poor part of Astoria called the Goondocks... hence The Goonies. Not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere, but Data is also Shortround from Temple of Doom. You did catch the Gremlins reference. I can't wait for your reaction to that.
    Lastly, there is a famous Octopus scene that was so bad that they finally cut it from the movie, but they left in the part at the end when the kids say the Octopus was the scariest part. I'll link the deleted scene below.

    "Goonie" was kind of a derogatory term that the upper class rich kids used to refer to the people who live on the Goon Docks, since in this movie it's the poorer part of Astoria.

    This movie came out the year after Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, and was made as a kids Indiana Jones movie. To kind of connect them, the movie starred Ke Huy Quan, who played Short Round in Temple of Doom, playing Data in Goonies. And Data was trying to be James Bond, not Batman, FYI. Yeah this was a very cool movie to see on the big screen! Oh, and a bit of trivia, the kids were all banned from the pirate ship set until they were ready to shoot that scene, And when their characters first see the ship for the first time, it's also the first time the actors see it, and those were their actual first impressions of seeing it!

    I loved this movie when I was a kid. I'm 42 now so this came out when I was still a kid, I was about 5 or 6 and kids back then had wild imaginations cause there was literally nothing keeping us indoors. Best times of my life were those summers.

    It's hard to catch it in the movie but the area where they live is referred to as "the goon docks", this, the kids call themselves Goonies.

    This was *the* childhood classic for me. All these years later, it's still a favorite and though I haven't seen it in years now, this brought back so many memories (all good ones). Sloth gets so happy when he's adopted by Chunk, his ears wiggle. So cute! I'm so happy you liked this one, and I can not wait for your reaction to the Gremlins movie! ^_^

    Sean Astin is great in this, a lot of the emotional scenes are dominated by him and, like Samwise, Mikey gives some great motivational speeches.
    Growing up I knew Sean Astin from this and from the movie Toy Soldiers, in which he plays a teenager. Wil Wheaton also stars in that one and my school friends and I really enjoyed it.

    They are currently working on "Goonies 2" (projected release date 2027). Some of the original cast is already signed on for it and Cindy Lauper (who sang the theme song, "The Goonies are Good Enough") is also scheduled to appear.
    A few extra tidbits:
    Data was played by Ke Huy Quan who (interestingly enough since you mentioned it in this reaction) also played in an Indiana Jones movie. Temple of Doom as Short Round to be specific. He later retired from acting but has recently started up again.
    Jake Fratelli was played by Robert Davi who's credits go back to 1977 and include "City Heat", "Die Hard", and "Licence to Kill".
    Francis Fritelli was played by Joe Pantoliano (aka Joey Pants). He's been in too many to name but is well known for being in "The Matrix" and "La Bamba"
    Mama Fritelli is played by Anne Ramsey (R.I.P.) best known as the title character in "Throw Mama from the Train" with Billy Crystal & Danny DeVito.
    Chunk was Jeff Cohen who quit acting shortly after Goonies to concentrate on school. He became a very successful entertainment attorney in Las Angeles.
    Finally Sloth was played by former NFL star defensive lineman John Matuszak (R.I.P.). He can also be seen in 1979s "North Dallas Forty" with Nick Nolte and Mac Davis.

    I'm not totally sure what the actual source of the term "goonies" is, but I've always assumed it was a smash up of two words: Goobers and Loonies. He says that they're "goonies" because they're the rejects/outcasts of their peer group.
    So, my guess is that bullies have called them "goonies" and they've subversively reclaimed that term in defiance and pride.
    Great to see someone react to one of my cherished childhood favorites, btw!

    Yes, this was a lot of fun in the theater. I went on my own the first few times, then began to drag some friends along. One of those fun, 80s family movies we grew up with. I was able to watch the same movie A LOT growing up because our small, one screen old time theater would show it twice a night and if you paid for the first viewing, the second was free. So in typical 80s style I'd pedal my bike up there, leave it laying outside and watch both showings. Good times. Great memories. 🐾🐾🍻

    I had a problem with one of Chunk's lines.-"I smell Ice Cream." Chunk must had a highly developed sense of smell, because in general Ice Cream is not particularly fragrant. I believe it's because it's frozen it's particles don't move very fast, so the particles most likely would not hit your nostrils quickly and thus smell. In order to smell Ice cream you basically have to put your nose directly on it on possibly on the relatively porous cardboard that contains it.

    I don't think people are more or less shocked by the things than before - it's just there's the internet now constantly telling people whos offended by what, people have forgotten to just to enjoy a movie for what it is. So many people are outraged now by movies and tv shows that havn't even been released lol
    But similarly back then if there was a talk show or newspaper article then about something offensive, some people jump on the bandwagon, most don't really care.
