Glad to see someone mention this! It's a funny movie, but definitely not meant for kids (unless edited for TV, so you get "Don't fool with the babysitter" instead of what she really said).
Dude, a must. These movies are why is Gen X’ers are the tops. I searched for fucking buried treasure in backyards and forest preserve from 1984-1988 cause of this film.
Being a kid in the 80's was brutal. Kids today just don't know, for real. We had lots of adventures, but we also had to take care of our problems by ourselves.
Yeah, but we're better adults for it. We understand how and when to show compassion while telling someone to get their 💩 together...its called tact lol 😁😉
GenX. I think maybe we're better parents, but I also think we've shielded later generations too much from the world. Us GenX'ers are survivors, we're tough, and innovative because we had to be. We know the dangers that exist in the world, but I think we protect them a bit too much.
This is not only such a timeless movie but this entire genre of storytelling, often called "kids on bikes" is timeless. Other great examples are ET, It, and Stranger Things.
Fun fact: the scene where the kids fall in the water and see the ship for the first time...is their real reactions. Spielberg hid the ship from the kids so that he got an authentic reaction from them when they see it for the first time.
Sloth saying "HEY YOOU GUUYS" is a reference to the 70s PBS kids show The Electric Company... Morgan Freeman was on it. Theres a kid that yells that at the start of the show in the exact same way... so Sloth probably watches a lot of PBS.
lol This movie brings back so much nostalgia and yes, this is the exact reference. It’s amazing how over time this movie still has the same magic to it as when it first came out.
Us 80s kids were far more adventures than kids today because we had no Internet etc so we had to play out, normally from morning to night. We would often go and adventures, thats why this film spoke to us, it was the ultimate adventure. This was one of the best kids films of the 80s.
I was a 90s kid, didn't have many friends but I did have a Game Boy Advance. I grew up on pokemon gens 1-3, old school super mario world and a couple of zelda games. I honestly did not have a first friend until the mid 2000s, people avoided me like the plague because of my autism.
Exactly right. I used to go on my own little adventures with friends, tell stories, make up our own fun. Of course, we took some inspiration from movies and TV shows but we didn't have our heads permanently glued to electronic devices all day.
Man, this is one of my all time favorite movies. Thank you for doing this. There is so much awesome trivia associated with this movie but I will keep it short. Jeff Cohen (Chunk) actually felt a kind of way about his portrayal in this (and the other movies he had been in) and stopped acting because he got tired of being The Fat Kid. He became extremely health conscious and lost the weight. He went to Richard Donner (Goonies director) and asked for a recommendation to get into college. When Donner read Cohen's notes detailing his early life and struggles (being overweight and "Truffle Shuffle") Donner and his wife 0ffered to pay for his college education. He became a successful lawyer.
People often are unaware that this was the same director of the LETHAL WEAPON movies and you can see some of the same action elements, without the deadly outcomes, in this story.
"Sloth has some guns on him." That's because he's played by John Matuszak, a former defensive end for the Raiders. He won a Super Bowl four years before this movie was made.
Its not hard to imagine at all. It is a great movie that defined my childhood and imprinted a permanent place in my soul. It will forever occupy my top 5 list, no matter what comes out in the future.
I saw this in the theater when it first came out. I was 9. There was actually a whole scene after they went down the waterslides that was cut out. It involved a really bad animatronic octopus attacking the kids in the water. It scared the crap out of me as a kid, though. Also, it's so funny to me that Sean Astin (Mikey) and Josh Brolin (Brand) went on to star in two of the biggest franchises in cinema history.
I am 40 and this still to this day is my absolute favorite childhood movie of all time. I can quote this entire movie word for word. An absolute classic that should NEVER be remade!!!
A couple of classic movies that should be on your list are: The Breakfast Club, E.T, Big w/ Tom Hanks, Sleepless in Seattle, Back to the Future, Stand by Me, The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption
Man this is an awesome movie list Amber & J .. except "Big" .. it's just ok for me. But I want to add a few that I could watch over & over ... "Fried Green Tomatoes" AND "Steel Magnolias" AND "Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood" AND "Driving Miss Daisy" 👈🏼👈🏼👈🏼 Those are classics right there.
Apart from what you have said, I would add another film that, along with The Goonies, is another of the great youth adventure films of the 80s: Adventures in Babysitting, directed by Chris Columbus (producer of The Goonies)
To us that knew this movie when it came out, it is hands down, irrefutably one of the greatest movies of all time. I've watched The Goonies HUNDREDS of times. Chunk, Sloth and Data were always my favorites. Such a good movie.
The smiles on your faces after seeing this movie can't be faked. I've seen this one at least a hundred times, but seeing you both experience it for the first time took me right back to my childhood. Thank you for all of your hard work, and for making me feel like a kid on a treasure hunt again.
If you haven't seen Gremlins, that's a good one to watch. Other classic movies you need to watch, Sixteen Candles, Grease, Breakfast Club, Valley Girl has an awesome soundtrack! Lots of new wave music. The original version not the remake! The original stars Nicolas Cage. I think it was one of his first movies.
Corey Feldman played the character “Mouth,” in the 80s he was a child/teen star. You should check out, “Stand By Me,” “The Burbs.” As well as the Corey’s Trilogy Films he did with Corey Haim; “The Lost Boys,” “License to Drive,” and “Dream A Little Dream.”
And the 2 brothers became more famous later... Brand is Josh Brolin who was huge in the Avengers Marvel franchise...and Mikey is Sean Astin who was big in the Lord of The Rings movies...
This movie is an staple of my childhood, watching it, hearing the Cyndi Lauper theme song, all of it brings back sooo many memories of my childhood...I love it so much. I have watched this film with my kids multiple times now and they have also come to love it. Classic
The Color Purple is a phenomenal drama, but the story is…rough. No sunshine and roses to be found here. Absolutely love the movie. The book was better, but that is normal.
Absolutely! The color Purple is a must watch!! You just watched The Goonies which Director Steven Spielberg was responsible for. The color Purple is also directed by him. You can’t go wrong with a Spielberg movie. Speaking of… Please watch E.T. !!
The great appeal of "Uncle Buck" was that it was full of characters so many of us familiar with in our own families or the families of friends. So many people have the "crazy uncle" and the "rebellious know it all teen" who is very naïve. "Here's a quarter. Go find a rat to chew that thing off your face!"
Goonies is a childhood favorite for many, myself included. It's just so rewatchable. By the way, the remark Data made about the "octopus" wasn't making up stories. In the deleted scenes on the blu-ray, it has the cut scene of their encounter with the octopus, but it was really lame and so they properly cut it out.
I grew up on the Goonies in the 80's and it still holds up. As a kid the mother scared the heck out of me. There was a deleted scene where they were fighting an octopus.
The older brother is Josh Broilan, he's the actor that played Thantos in the recent Marvel movies. Mouth is played by Corey Feldman, he was in the Lost Boys with Corey Haim. The Asian kid was in The Temple of Doom with Harrison Ford.
FYI, the location is Astoria, Oregon. So glad you're watching this-- it's one of the most iconic 80s movies! This one, "The Breakfast Club," and "Labyrinth" are the trifecta: movies that literally could not have been made in another era. They defined Generation X.
One of the greatest movies ever made! I saw this as a teen in the 80's, and now at the age of 54 I love it just as much as then. This movie brings out the adventurous, wide eyed kid in all of us. It's got the humor, the action, the suspense, the romance and definitely the adventure! What an all-time classic! I remember watching this with my kids when they were little and they loved it just as much as I did.
I loved your joyous reactions to such a nostalgic movie for us kids of the 80s. I call my best friend Sloth and she calls me Chunk. I finished my toast at her wedding with “Goonies never say die.” 🏴☠️
Stephen Spielberg made of the scariest "family films" of the 1980s, and Goonies is one of the best. Astoria, Oregon still has an annual Gooniefest, and a couple of years ago, it was huge, with most of the original child cast showing up to watch the movie with the fans. I think the family house is still standing, and the other Victorian house featured in the movie is the Flavel Museum.
@@carlossaraiva8213 This movie was actually a trifecta in 80's gold... Dick Donner directed, Chris Columbus wrote the screenplay, and Spielberg wrote the story and Executive Produced.
Yes, the family house is standing. Please see my comment above about my experience there recently. VERY negative. Actually you don't need to read my comment but the new owner is very nasty about tourists coming up to it. It was too bad.
Did you notice when she starts singing "Rock a Bye Baby" to Sloth & she gets to the "When the bough breaks the cradle will fall" part, he angrily yells "Break! Fall!" & rubs his head/eye & she says "I only dropped you once" then "Well maybe twice" before he throws her overboard. It's basically saying she dropped him on more than one occasion while he was just a baby & it's implied that he suffered breaks & injuries (possibly head trauma) & that maybe this explains what happened to him that he turned out the way he did, which, as sweet as he is, this part & the "Mama, you been bad" parts always saddened me tremendously bc Sloth deserved alot better in life. I'm glad that Chunk took him in at the end of the movie as much as they care for one another. You guys are awesome & I love ya'll. Keep up the great work! Big fan here from Tennessee!! Much love, guys..
I love this movie so much, I watched it a ton as a kid. I rewatched it a couple of years ago, and while I knew Sean Astin was in it, it was only after googling the cast that I discovered that Brand was Josh freaking Brolin!!
The shot of The Goonies riding away on their bikes, you can see the schoolhouse used in Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie, Kindergarten Cop. Loving your movie reaction so much! 🤘❤🤘
The 80s had the best kid and teen movies hands down. This and stand by me. All the john Hughes movies. Fast times at ridgemont high. Just one of the guys. The list is endless
In the original release of The movie there was a scene with the Octopus , I’m not sure why it was cut out. I do know they had a lot of trouble with it mechanically. Also Spielberg tried to sell the Ship which was built for the movie to Disneyland , but they had no interest , what fools, can you imagine how fun that ride would’ve been?
When the kids went down water slide that was all a surprise, their reaction to seeing the ship was actual, their first time seeing❤️❤️. Great reaction ❤️
Movie was shot in Oregon and is my favorite movie of the 80's, and the actor who is Chunk in really life is an entertainment lawyer. Being a child of the 80's we took care of ourselves, just as long we were home before sundown.
The beach they see the big rocks on and the 4x4 racing in the beginning is Canon Beach, Oregon. It is AMAZING to see in real life! Definitely recommend.
I rewatched this movie a gazillion times as a kid...got to see it in the theater when it came out...it's a movie that is part of my upbringing and gave me so much adventurous joy!! Also, was so happy to see Sean Austin get to be part of the ultimate adventure trilogy Lord of the Rings! And Josh Brolin as Sean's older brother became an amazing actor. And Chunk, is a really cool guy, I met him at the comic book store I worked at in Berkeley. He was running for campus prez and he was using his Chunk character as part of poster campaign. He's a sweet guy with a great sense of humor. Was studying to be a Hollywood lawyer...and that's what he's doing to this day. 😀
This movie was filmed in Oregon. The house was in Astoria Oregon, I lived there for about 9 months, just a few blocks from that house. Its in the northwest corner of the state of Oregon. The end was filmed in Cannon Beach, I used to go down there on Saturdays and dig for claims.
Brings back so many memories!!! My brother and I loved this movie!!! Still do. Along with The Lost Boys and Can't buy me Love. Footloose, St Elmo's Fire, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and so many more. 80's Rocked!!!!!
Rewatched Lost Boys recently after I read that the cinematographer also shot many of Martin Scorsese's films so I paid close attention to that aspect of it this time & can only say 'beautiful' - even if you just see it for the camera work it's worth it but everything else is on point as well.
If you haven't seen Labyrinth, it is a must see! Stars David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. My absolute favorite movie growing up and still one of my faves!
@@amyg4961 Those movies are surprisingly boring and don't hold up. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone who isn't Gen X. But the song to Neverending Story still gets me every time I hear it and Noah Hathaway was my first crush. He played Harry Potter in Troll!😛
@@Kieop I still find Labyrinth extremely enjoyable and holds up well. Showed it to an ex-gf of mine years ago who had never even heard of it. She loved it. The Dark Crystal also holds up well. I agree with the Neverending Story. I wasn't the biggest fan as a kid and I tried watching it back when Netflix first started streaming. I could barely stay awake and ended up just fast forwarding to where he kills the wolf and turning it off.
@@digitalintent I agree. Labyrinth is quite good and The Dark Crystal is one of my favourite childhood films. It was legitimately scary and truly compelling -- amazing world craft. It still holds up; nothing like it before or since.
It was so awesome to relive my childhood memories and Fantasies watching this with you guys. I could see your youth coming back to you in your eyes and expression. Man when I was a kid I only had a few friends and we are all the weirdos in a working-class area, in a poor city by the sea. Still here, I remember hoping and wishing that I could find a treasure that would help my small family, play The Goonies are going on an adventure with Indiana Jones. By the way data is in an Indiana Jones movie, the second film called the Temple of Doom and it's awesome and of course it's directed by Spielberg as well. Now do yourselves the great honor of passing along this excellent tradition of Adventure friendship and caring to your children. Also, there is a television version that's actually longer than the feature film that includes an extra scene in the store with the rich kid that picks on The Goonies and an octopus scene by the ship, so when data talked about the Giant Octopus he wasn't lying. Lol Goonies Never Say Die!
"Hey You Guys!!" is from a kids show that was on in the 70s and 80s called The Electric Company. When us 80s kids saw The Goonies in the theater, we all knew the quote. It meant that Sloth was watching the show on TV every day in his room.
A special note about everyones reaction when seeing the ship. When filming their discovery of the ship the kids were kept in the dark about the fact that the ship was built to scale. The reaction we see was their authentic reaction from their first look at it.
I moved from Oklahoma to Washington a couple years ago and have visited this town Astoria in Oregon a couple times. It's beautiful in this part of the country and everything is different from Ok. It's always green, the weather's mild even in the summer most houses don't have ac unless they are newer. Between the mountains, lakes, oceans, orchards there is so much to see. Great reaction!
The goonies has been a forever favourite through out my childhood even up to now. It never gets old. This is one of a kind. A sequel can't be done and a remake will definitely flop..! This film is so deep in 1985. It what makes the 80s live on forever and its passing through from generation to generation!
My childhood classic movie!!! When I was little, I wanted to be a Goonie SO bad. Now living in the PNW, its brings out the child in me because of its beautiful scenery.
Loved your reactions. One of my favorite movies of all time!! Definitely look up the cast some of them are still acting. Mouth was a big time child actor. The Lost Boys is one of the classics. Data's other hit movie was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The older brother, Josh Brolin has been in so many things and has a new show Outer Range coming out. And the little brother Sean Astin most famous for The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Hi guys! The "Hey you guys!!" reference that Sloth kept saying is a nod to a very, very popular children's programs that we all grew up with back in the day called, "The Electric Company".
I saw this for the first time in 2011 back in high school. Before that I saw bits of it on TV but never beginning to end. I love how this film can be connected to lord of the rings, the avengers, and teenage mutant ninja turtles.
Also, I sent y’all an email about the passing of Ray Liotta, and suggesting you watch “Goodfellas” if you haven’t already. One of the greatest movies ever made, and one of my top 5 for sure. RIP Ray 🙏🏼
The movie takes place in Astoria, Oregon. But interesting fact- Josh Brolin is Brand, but is in Deadpool and is referred to as One-eyed Willy. He also plays Thanos. Corey Feldman as Mouth is one of my favorite characters. They have a reunion every year where all the actors come out to Astoria for a Goonies film festival, which is really cool.
They all did a live reading of the whole movie over zoom a couple years ago. It's called "The Goonies Reunite for Virtual Fundraiser ( No Kid Hungry) Full Livestream". They did a great job and it was a lot of fun to watch.
If you're looking for more movies from this era, definitely check out Willow....Its the perfect time since Disney is making a sequel TV series for it that premiers this November
I loved this movie when I was a teenager, it was filmed in Astoria, Oregon about 40 minutes drive from the little town I lived in and we would often go to Astoria for summer vacation or kite festival, crabfest etc... it was one of the first films showing landmarks I was familiar with and that made it more relatable. Also Kindergarten Cop was filmed there if you want to see more of the beautiful Oregon coast.
I was on vacay in the Pacific Northwest in 1996, and went to Astoria, OR, saw all the landmarks, the Goonie house, the school in Kindergarten Cop, crossed the bridge, went to the museum & this military base...great, charming little town, quite hilly...I'd move there if I could...the Goonies is one of my fave movies ever...
I grew up with this movie (I lived near Salem) but after joining the Coast Guard and getting stationed on the Washington side of the Astoria-Megler Bridge, it all became very real. It was cool seeing all the places I knew from the movies of my youth.
A couple of things you should know: 1) Their mention of an octopus wasn't them making shit up. In the directors cut, they actually had to fight a monster octopus in the waters outside of the pirate ship. 2) Even in the 1980s, the salvage laws in the U.S. would have put that ship in the possession of the people who found it, and given the fact that every single one of those adults knew that the Goonies rediscovered it, the ship and everything on it would technically be theirs, so them and all of their families would have been rich after the events in this film.
"HEY, YOU GUYS!" and "Ruth, Ruth, Baby Ruth!" were catchphrases that were familiar sounds between my brothers and I growing up. We always said we were Goonies. And a few years ago my daughter actually bought me a Goonies t-shirt.
This movie was the coolest thing ever when it came out. This and E.T. When traveling for work, I went out of my way to visit this place (Cannon Beach) in Oregon. I got some pics right before sunset (with those rocks). Notice when they’re riding their bikes near the beginning. It’s very much like stranger things in season one. Same vibe. I’m so glad I grew up when I did.
Such an awesome movie, and I love your sign! Filmed in and around Astoria, Oregon, where the movie was actually set. Marbles actually has a variety of games. I grew up playing several types of marbles games, but the most common marbles game is called knockout. To play one draws a circle on the pavement, usually about the size of a basketball hoop. Both players put an equal amount of marbles in the center of the circle. Each player has a shooter, a larger than normal marble, about an inch in diameter, and they take turns shooting at the marbles in the center of the circle [to shoot, one curls their index finger around the shooter marble loosely with their thumb behind the shooter marble. The thumb flicks forward propelling the shooter into the circle of marbles: that's taking a shot], each player picks up their shooter after it comes to a stop, and each player keeps any of the regular marbles that they knock out of the circle. Continue taking turns until the circle is empty. That's the competitive version. The friendly version has one player putting an odd number of marbles in the center and each player collects those that they knock out. The winner is the one that knocks out the most marbles, then the player gets their marbles back. I took anatomy and physiology in college. We worked with cadavers. Dissected dead people. It was not comfortable, but I made good grades. Still not comfortable. In fact, I had to drop the class the first time I tried to take it, cos it was soon after my foster parents were murdered, and I just couldn't handle cadavers so soon after. The man behind the prosthetics and the wiggling ears was John Matuzak, former Oakland Raider and massive human. The steroids he took to get so big for his playing days were a large part of the death of him, unfortunately. But he was great as Sloth. They actually BUILT One Eyed Willie's ship, and it was actually fairly seaworthy. They tried to sell it, and then give it away after the filming of the movie was done, but found no takers. It was destroyed. 😞 None of the cast saw the ship until the scene in the movie where it is first shown because they wanted to get the cast's actual reaction to the ship they'd built. Take two was used for the movie because they were rendered so speechless at their first look that they couldn't proceed. The octopus that was referred to was a deleted scene. It looked cheesy and bad so it deserved to end up on the cutting room floor. Sea caves can be more than deep enough to have a ship in. And it is possible for there to have been a channel made or remaining that would be deep enough for the ship to sail out. Considering all the engineering and equipment that Willie and his crew would have needed for these booby traps, it's possible that they could have cleared a breakaway channel for the ship to escape when someone stole Willie's share. Possible, but extremely unlikely. But that's the fun of movies, right?
Yeah, we played the friendly version of marbles as a kid, except we each put an equal amount of our own marbles in the center of the circle and tried to knock everyone else's out, and whoever was left standing with one marble inside the circle at the end was the winner. We all got our own marbles back at the end of the game. :)
Brand, the older brother, goes on to become Thanos. Mikey goes on to become Samwise Gamgee. Data was Indiana Jones’s sidekick before becoming a Goonie. Mouth goes on to become a vampire slayer. And Chunk in real life (the actor) goes on to become a director.
@@robsquadmoviereactions "Mouth" real name Corey Feldman has been in a lot movies. He started acting quite young. He's even been in one the horror Friday the 13th movies. Stand by Me is one of his best with River Phoenix (RIP) and Wil Wheaton(Star Trek Next Generation tv show). Corey in License to Drive is great, funny movie.
You guys have to react to some of these 80's classics... 1. Die Hard (1988) Action. 2. Aliens (1986) Action, Sci-Fi Horror 3. Predator (1987) Action Sci-Fi 4. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Action, Adventure.
Yes, what a movie!! No matter how old you are you have to love the Goonies. Cory ( Mouth ) was also in another great movie from the 80s called 'Lost Boys' which I would recommend you check out. For me, the best character in the movie is Data... He was great from his first scene to the last with his Dad and the belt camera. 🤣🤣🤣 Sean was great in 'Calfornia Man' with Brandon Fraiser and Pauly Shaw, he also played Sam Wise in Lord of the Rings. Brand became Thanos in 'Avengers' - Cable in Deadpool 2 and played the young 'J' in 'Men in Black 3' 👍👍
Remember the Time You Said Michael Jackson Came to Your House to Use the Bathroom🤔 Okay Okay Michael Jackson didn't come to my house to use the Bathroom...But his Sister Did🤣🤣
I still say that phrase all of the time. These days, some people look at me crazier than normal 😂 And I say "Hey You Guys" as a greeting all of the time... in my semi-Sloth voice too.
At the end when data says that "The octopus was very scary", he wasnt making up that story. Its in the deleted scenes. They have to fight off an octopus thats in the water outside of willys ship.
“Throw mama from the train” is a good one. Stars Billy Crystal, Danny Devito and the woman that played the mother in this movie also plays Danny Devitos mother in it. It’s really good
Danny DeVito? I havent seen it in years but why do I remember it with Sly Stallone? I havent seen it for about 30 years, so maybe Im remembering it wrong.
I was born where this movie was filmed. The scenery is just gorgeous. Another film that was shot in Astoria, Oregon is Kindergarten Cop. Another movie you will absolutely love.
Anne Ramsey, who played the main villain, Mama Fratelli, is mostly known from 2 80s movies: this and a comedy called "Throw Momma from the Train", starring Danny Devito and Billy Crystal. I suggest you watch the Alfred Hitchcock movie "Strangers on a Train" first because 'Throw Momma..." is partly a spoof on it. Also, Corey Feldman, who played Mouth, was in a lot of movies in the 80s and 90s. He was in "The 'Burbs" which starred Tom Hanks. Hanks' wife was played by Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia from Star Wars). It's a mystery comedy. Feldman was one of the neighbors.
You were right about it being filmed in the Pacific Northwest! The Goonies house is still in Astoria, Oregon on the coast about 90 miles west of Portland. We used to go visit and see all the locations in Astoria, Cannon Beach, and along the famous highway 1 along the Pacific Ocean. It is a stunning drive with beautiful hiking locations. 💜
Yet ANOTHER classic! This may be my favorite so far. You may have seen Mikey(Sean Astin)in lots of movies you may know him from Lord of the Rings or Rudy. If you haven't seen either then add them to the list. 😉😁
@@robsquadmoviereactions I was sure Jay seen Rudy being a sports fan and all. It's kne of the best football movies all-time. You guys got to react to the Lord of the Rings trilogy!!! It's a must! Anyways, back to the reaction...
Couple of compromise movies to tickle both your fancies, that you're sure to enjoy with plenty of romcom, action and humor, The Princess Bride which is an absolute must see classic and the lesser known but hilarious Grosse Pointe Blank, which also has a kick ass soundtrack and a great cast.
The old woman is Ann Ramsay who won an academy award for her role in the Billy Crystal/Danny DeVito comedy Throw Momma From The Train. A must watch for you. Sloth was played by ex defensive lineman John Mutuszak, who sadly passed away a few years after the Goonies was made. He played for the then Oakland Raiders. Jeff Cohen, who played Chunk, left acting and became an entertainment lawyer. Steven Speilberg was exeutive producer. To keep the excitement of the ship alive, the cast of kids were not privied to the ship before shooting the reveal. Their reaction was genuine.
I remember when this movie came out! I was 12 and could so relate to the friendship they all had! It was such a great movie!!! Thanks for the great reaction! And yes, Gremlins is a must!!!
A list of amazing movies from the 80's and 90's that should be on everyone's watch list •E.T.

Not counting many fantastic sequels but, this will get you started.
I haven't seen anyone mention the movie, Adventures in Babysitting. Another 80's classic!
Glad to see someone mention this! It's a funny movie, but definitely not meant for kids (unless edited for TV, so you get "Don't fool with the babysitter" instead of what she really said).
Bro!
Dude, a must. These movies are why is Gen X’ers are the tops. I searched for fucking buried treasure in backyards and forest preserve from 1984-1988 cause of this film.
Beginning so iconic!
Greetings from Finland!!! Just watched it great movie!!!
I love how Amber can't watch anything as a former kid. She watches as a Mom. She is so protective of the Goonies.
Being a kid in the 80's was brutal. Kids today just don't know, for real. We had lots of adventures, but we also had to take care of our problems by ourselves.
Yeah, but we're better adults for it. We understand how and when to show compassion while telling someone to get their 💩 together...its called tact lol 😁😉
GenX. I think maybe we're better parents, but I also think we've shielded later generations too much from the world. Us GenX'ers are survivors, we're tough, and innovative because we had to be. We know the dangers that exist in the world, but I think we protect them a bit too much.
Do you mean American kids it's still happening Europe?
Exactly.
I grew up in the 80's and it was amazing in every way possible!
This is not only such a timeless movie but this entire genre of storytelling, often called "kids on bikes" is timeless. Other great examples are ET, It, and Stranger Things.
Fun fact: the scene where the kids fall in the water and see the ship for the first time...is their real reactions. Spielberg hid the ship from the kids so that he got an authentic reaction from them when they see it for the first time.
Sloth saying "HEY YOOU GUUYS" is a reference to the 70s PBS kids show The Electric Company... Morgan Freeman was on it. Theres a kid that yells that at the start of the show in the exact same way... so Sloth probably watches a lot of PBS.
Rita Moreno yells it.
lol This movie brings back so much nostalgia and yes, this is the exact reference. It’s amazing how over time this movie still has the same magic to it as when it first came out.
Us 80s kids were far more adventures than kids today because we had no Internet etc so we had to play out, normally from morning to night. We would often go and adventures, thats why this film spoke to us, it was the ultimate adventure. This was one of the best kids films of the 80s.

Exactly right. I used to go on my own little adventures with friends, tell stories, make up our own fun. Of course, we took some inspiration from movies and TV shows but we didn't have our heads permanently glued to electronic devices all day.
Man, this is one of my all time favorite movies. Thank you for doing this. There is so much awesome trivia associated with this movie but I will keep it short. Jeff Cohen (Chunk) actually felt a kind of way about his portrayal in this (and the other movies he had been in) and stopped acting because he got tired of being The Fat Kid. He became extremely health conscious and lost the weight. He went to Richard Donner (Goonies director) and asked for a recommendation to get into college. When Donner read Cohen's notes detailing his early life and struggles (being overweight and "Truffle Shuffle") Donner and his wife 0ffered to pay for his college education. He became a successful lawyer.
People often are unaware that this was the same director of the LETHAL WEAPON movies and you can see some of the same action elements, without the deadly outcomes, in this story.
"Sloth has some guns on him." That's because he's played by John Matuszak, a former defensive end for the Raiders. He won a Super Bowl four years before this movie was made.
I always wanna say Lyle Alzado for some reason.
He died so young too. Toooooooz!!!
John Matuszak was also in "The Ice Pirates," a definite B-movie but so much fun.
@@katya2032 I loved that one too. Remember the Space Herpe?
@@kennieharris327 LOL, yes.
It's hard to believe that it has been 37 years since this movie came out, it is one of my favorite movies.
As someone who was almost 9 when this came out, don't remind me. 😭
Its not hard to imagine at all. It is a great movie that defined my childhood and imprinted a permanent place in my soul. It will forever occupy my top 5 list, no matter what comes out in the future.
This movie was one year old when i was born.
And what's even more Stranger is Mickey, became Sam Gamegie in the Lord of the Ring and the one who played his big brother has became Thanos 😮😮😮👍👍👍
Plus sean Astin - in stranger things. 🤣
I saw this in the theater when it first came out. I was 9. There was actually a whole scene after they went down the waterslides that was cut out. It involved a really bad animatronic octopus attacking the kids in the water. It scared the crap out of me as a kid, though. Also, it's so funny to me that Sean Astin (Mikey) and Josh Brolin (Brand) went on to star in two of the biggest franchises in cinema history.
You can find clips of the octopus out there. I *think* it's also in the deleted scenes on the DVD.
@@christiantidball6121 it's on RUclips
hey you forgot the asian kid...he just won an oscar...lol
I was a bit confused on why they mentioned the octopus at the end to the police because when I saw it the octopus wasn’t in the film.
I am 40 and this still to this day is my absolute favorite childhood movie of all time. I can quote this entire movie word for word. An absolute classic that should NEVER be remade!!!
A couple of classic movies that should be on your list are: The Breakfast Club, E.T, Big w/ Tom Hanks, Sleepless in Seattle, Back to the Future, Stand by Me, The Green Mile, The Shawshank Redemption
Definitely do Breakfast Club next!!
Man this is an awesome movie list Amber & J .. except "Big" .. it's just ok for me. But I want to add a few that I could watch over & over ... "Fried Green Tomatoes" AND "Steel Magnolias" AND "Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood" AND "Driving Miss Daisy" 👈🏼👈🏼👈🏼 Those are classics right there.
Don't forget You've Got Mail where Tom Hanks aunt is a young girl lol.
@@scottvanhille5688 Yep .. another good one.
Apart from what you have said, I would add another film that, along with The Goonies, is another of the great youth adventure films of the 80s: Adventures in Babysitting, directed by Chris Columbus (producer of The Goonies)
Cory Feldman "The Mouth" was in the movie Stand by Me, another one for you to check out. Great to see you at the movies. Don't forget about Titanic
We have to see that!! Thanks for the love Lucky
Cory was also the voice of Donatello in the first TMNT movie 👍
The Lost Boys perfect vampire movie. No gore.
@@robsquadmoviereactions PLEASE TRY "THE GREEN MILE" STARRING TOM HANKS! IMHO, THE BEST FILM EVER...OR AT LEAST TOP 3 OF ALL TIME!!
You will also like all the music in Stand By Me
To us that knew this movie when it came out, it is hands down, irrefutably one of the greatest movies of all time. I've watched The Goonies HUNDREDS of times. Chunk, Sloth and Data were always my favorites. Such a good movie.
Damn right!
Cory Feldman 'The Mouth' was also in The Lost Boys and Stand by Me which are a couple of great movies you should check out!
The smiles on your faces after seeing this movie can't be faked. I've seen this one at least a hundred times, but seeing you both experience it for the first time took me right back to my childhood. Thank you for all of your hard work, and for making me feel like a kid on a treasure hunt again.
If you haven't seen Gremlins, that's a good one to watch. Other classic movies you need to watch, Sixteen Candles, Grease, Breakfast Club, Valley Girl has an awesome soundtrack! Lots of new wave music. The original version not the remake! The original stars Nicolas Cage. I think it was one of his first movies.
Are they opposed to R rated or is that just your preference?
Watch GREMLINS and GREMLINS 2 together; completely different styles of films
Yes gremlins!
Great suggestions! 😀
You forgot Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure it has an awesome soundtrack.
Corey Feldman played the character “Mouth,” in the 80s he was a child/teen star. You should check out, “Stand By Me,” “The Burbs.” As well as the Corey’s Trilogy Films he did with Corey Haim; “The Lost Boys,” “License to Drive,” and “Dream A Little Dream.”
The 'Burbs! YES!
And the 2 brothers became more famous later... Brand is Josh Brolin who was huge in the Avengers Marvel franchise...and Mikey is Sean Astin who was big in the Lord of The Rings movies...
Corey Feldman also voiced Donatello, in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles live action movie.
I know it's not quite on that level but he was also in Gremlins, I believe. Which was actually referenced in this movie!
@zackdepotie3674
That's cuz Chris Columbus wrote both the goonies and Gremlins.
This movie is an staple of my childhood, watching it, hearing the Cyndi Lauper theme song, all of it brings back sooo many memories of my childhood...I love it so much. I have watched this film with my kids multiple times now and they have also come to love it. Classic
The Color Purple is a phenomenal drama, but the story is…rough. No sunshine and roses to be found here. Absolutely love the movie. The book was better, but that is normal.
I agree. I liked the book better, but the movie was very good.
Absolutely! The color Purple is a must watch!! You just watched The Goonies which Director Steven Spielberg was responsible for. The color Purple is also directed by him. You can’t go wrong with a Spielberg movie. Speaking of… Please watch E.T. !!
To this day I am annoyed it didn't receive best picture academy award!
Please watch The Color Purple! Please!!!!
Yes! "The Color Purple" is a masterpiece.
I’ve probably watched The Goonies more than any other movie. It never gets old. Another 80s movie you guys need to see is Uncle Buck.
Yes, Uncle Buck is awesome
Same, man. And I still watch it, and even listen. The video commentary helps me go to sleep. 😆 Their adult voices are so relieving to hear.
The great appeal of "Uncle Buck" was that it was full of characters so many of us familiar with in our own families or the families of friends. So many people have the "crazy uncle" and the "rebellious know it all teen" who is very naïve.
"Here's a quarter. Go find a rat to chew that thing off your face!"
Goonies is a childhood favorite for many, myself included. It's just so rewatchable. By the way, the remark Data made about the "octopus" wasn't making up stories. In the deleted scenes on the blu-ray, it has the cut scene of their encounter with the octopus, but it was really lame and so they properly cut it out.
I grew up on the Goonies in the 80's and it still holds up. As a kid the mother scared the heck out of me. There was a deleted scene where they were fighting an octopus.
The older brother is Josh Broilan, he's the actor that played Thantos in the recent Marvel movies. Mouth is played by Corey Feldman, he was in the Lost Boys with Corey Haim. The Asian kid was in The Temple of Doom with Harrison Ford.
Brolin* Thanos*
And... Sean Astin, the little brother, played Sam in The Lord of the Rings movies!
And Data just won an Oscar last night!
@@goldilox369 Yes, the awesome Ke Huy Quan has gifted us with his return to acting!
FYI, the location is Astoria, Oregon. So glad you're watching this-- it's one of the most iconic 80s movies! This one, "The Breakfast Club," and "Labyrinth" are the trifecta: movies that literally could not have been made in another era. They defined Generation X.
We will have to check them all out!
@@robsquadmoviereactions Start with "Labyrinth." Knowing how much you guys love David Bowie, that one is a MUUUUUUSSSSST.
Yes! Breakfast Club!
You should also watch The Never Ending Story.
@@TwilightLink77 I'm David, and I approve this message. 😜
One of the greatest movies ever made! I saw this as a teen in the 80's, and now at the age of 54 I love it just as much as then. This movie brings out the adventurous, wide eyed kid in all of us. It's got the humor, the action, the suspense, the romance and definitely the adventure! What an all-time classic! I remember watching this with my kids when they were little and they loved it just as much as I did.
I loved your joyous reactions to such a nostalgic movie for us kids of the 80s. I call my best friend Sloth and she calls me Chunk. I finished my toast at her wedding with “Goonies never say die.” 🏴☠️
Stephen Spielberg made of the scariest "family films" of the 1980s, and Goonies is one of the best.
Astoria, Oregon still has an annual Gooniefest, and a couple of years ago, it was huge, with most of the original child cast showing up to watch the movie with the fans. I think the family house is still standing, and the other Victorian house featured in the movie is the Flavel Museum.
It was Richard Donner who made this movie, after Superman and before Lethal Weapon.
@@carlossaraiva8213 This movie was actually a trifecta in 80's gold... Dick Donner directed, Chris Columbus wrote the screenplay, and Spielberg wrote the story and Executive Produced.
Yes, the family house is standing. Please see my comment above about my experience there recently. VERY negative. Actually you don't need to read my comment but the new owner is very nasty about tourists coming up to it. It was too bad.
@@filmsensei You would be too if you had people constantly harassing you to see your home.
@@Psilocybin77 I have an idea: Don’t buy something you know is a piece of pop culture history? What did she expect?? Sorry, I have no pity.
This is so fun to watch with you! Give "Adventures in Babysitting" sometime. Funny, intense, romantic. The 80's movies rocked!
Loved adventures in babysitting 😍 soooo funny 😄 😆
💯
YES! One of my favorite movies as a kid!
Great movie... but make sure you get the 1987 version not the stupid TV remake movie in 2016 that Disney tried to pass off as an 'Original Movie'. 😝
' No one gets out of here until they sing the Blues.'
Did you notice when she starts singing "Rock a Bye Baby" to Sloth & she gets to the "When the bough breaks the cradle will fall" part, he angrily yells "Break! Fall!" & rubs his head/eye & she says "I only dropped you once" then "Well maybe twice" before he throws her overboard. It's basically saying she dropped him on more than one occasion while he was just a baby & it's implied that he suffered breaks & injuries (possibly head trauma) & that maybe this explains what happened to him that he turned out the way he did, which, as sweet as he is, this part & the "Mama, you been bad" parts always saddened me tremendously bc Sloth deserved alot better in life. I'm glad that Chunk took him in at the end of the movie as much as they care for one another.
You guys are awesome & I love ya'll. Keep up the great work! Big fan here from Tennessee!! Much love, guys..
I love this movie so much, I watched it a ton as a kid. I rewatched it a couple of years ago, and while I knew Sean Astin was in it, it was only after googling the cast that I discovered that Brand was Josh freaking Brolin!!
The shot of The Goonies riding away on their bikes, you can see the schoolhouse used in Arnold Schwarzenegger's movie, Kindergarten Cop. Loving your movie reaction so much! 🤘❤🤘
Astoria in Oregon…
@@vrvaughn Such a beautiful place
this is Goonies, not kindergarted cop
@@stevenjohnson243 both were shot in the same town..
The 80s had the best kid and teen movies hands down. This and stand by me. All the john Hughes movies. Fast times at ridgemont high. Just one of the guys. The list is endless
We will add those to the list as well
Just One of the Guys was a staple on HBO. That, and Gleaming the Cube.
And Monster Squad
@@TreyBlythe gleaming the cube! I haven’t thought about that one since the 80’s! I might have to revisit that one. Thanks for reminding me.
Just revisited. Forgot it had Tony Hawk and Stacy Peralta! So cool. Christian Slater was excellent as always.
The goonies was such a blast.
I saw it in the cinema as a kid and i was obsessed with it.
Such a magical movie.
In the original release of The movie there was a scene with the Octopus , I’m not sure why it was cut out. I do know they had a lot of trouble with it mechanically. Also Spielberg tried to sell the Ship which was built for the movie to Disneyland , but they had no interest , what fools, can you imagine how fun that ride would’ve been?
When the kids went down water slide that was all a surprise, their reaction to seeing the ship was actual, their first time seeing❤️❤️. Great reaction ❤️
Actually their second. The cast said on the DVD commentary they needed a take two because all the kids began swearing excitedly making it unusable. 😄
Didn’t know that but if trivia. Thanks for sharing it.
Movie was shot in Oregon and is my favorite movie of the 80's, and the actor who is Chunk in really life is an entertainment lawyer.
Being a child of the 80's we took care of ourselves, just as long we were home before sundown.
What a time to be alive. Sounds cool
The beach they see the big rocks on and the 4x4 racing in the beginning is Canon Beach, Oregon. It is AMAZING to see in real life! Definitely recommend.
Soo great to see you guys watch my all time fave movie.
Welcome to what it was really like being a kid in the 80s! ❤️
I rewatched this movie a gazillion times as a kid...got to see it in the theater when it came out...it's a movie that is part of my upbringing and gave me so much adventurous joy!! Also, was so happy to see Sean Austin get to be part of the ultimate adventure trilogy Lord of the Rings! And Josh Brolin as Sean's older brother became an amazing actor. And Chunk, is a really cool guy, I met him at the comic book store I worked at in Berkeley. He was running for campus prez and he was using his Chunk character as part of poster campaign. He's a sweet guy with a great sense of humor. Was studying to be a Hollywood lawyer...and that's what he's doing to this day. 😀
This movie was filmed in Oregon. The house was in Astoria Oregon, I lived there for about 9 months, just a few blocks from that house. Its in the northwest corner of the state of Oregon. The end was filmed in Cannon Beach, I used to go down there on Saturdays and dig for claims.
Brings back so many memories!!! My brother and I loved this movie!!! Still do. Along with The Lost Boys and Can't buy me Love. Footloose, St Elmo's Fire, Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink and so many more. 80's Rocked!!!!!
Lost Boys is great…
This is one of my 44 yr old daughter’s fav movies. I love it, too.
Rewatched Lost Boys recently after I read that the cinematographer also shot many of Martin Scorsese's films so I paid close attention to that aspect of it this time & can only say 'beautiful' - even if you just see it for the camera work it's worth it but everything else is on point as well.
This is such a cult classic! LOVE LOVE LOVE this movie!! My hubby just turned 60yo & he still loves this movie! Thank you for your awesome reactions!
Love this movie! A timeless classic!
So fun and suspenseful 😄
Its crazy that's a young Josh Brolin playing his older brother.
Loved this film when I was a kid
If you haven't seen Labyrinth, it is a must see! Stars David Bowie and Jennifer Connelly. My absolute favorite movie growing up and still one of my faves!
This, plus Neverending Story and Legend with Tom Cruise. My childhood and the sources of all my first childhood crushes. 😅
@@amyg4961 Those movies are surprisingly boring and don't hold up. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone who isn't Gen X. But the song to Neverending Story still gets me every time I hear it and Noah Hathaway was my first crush. He played Harry Potter in Troll!😛
Labyrinth and Legend are AMAZING! I hope they watch them both 😊
@@Kieop I still find Labyrinth extremely enjoyable and holds up well. Showed it to an ex-gf of mine years ago who had never even heard of it. She loved it. The Dark Crystal also holds up well.
I agree with the Neverending Story. I wasn't the biggest fan as a kid and I tried watching it back when Netflix first started streaming. I could barely stay awake and ended up just fast forwarding to where he kills the wolf and turning it off.
@@digitalintent I agree. Labyrinth is quite good and The Dark Crystal is one of my favourite childhood films. It was legitimately scary and truly compelling -- amazing world craft. It still holds up; nothing like it before or since.
It was so awesome to relive my childhood memories and Fantasies watching this with you guys. I could see your youth coming back to you in your eyes and expression.
Man when I was a kid I only had a few friends and we are all the weirdos in a working-class area, in a poor city by the sea. Still here, I remember hoping and wishing that I could find a treasure that would help my small family, play The Goonies are going on an adventure with Indiana Jones.
By the way data is in an Indiana Jones movie, the second film called the Temple of Doom and it's awesome and of course it's directed by Spielberg as well.
Now do yourselves the great honor of passing along this excellent tradition of Adventure friendship and caring to your children.
Also, there is a television version that's actually longer than the feature film that includes an extra scene in the store with the rich kid that picks on The Goonies and an octopus scene by the ship, so when data talked about the Giant Octopus he wasn't lying. Lol
Goonies Never Say Die!
"Hey You Guys!!" is from a kids show that was on in the 70s and 80s called The Electric Company. When us 80s kids saw The Goonies in the theater, we all knew the quote. It meant that Sloth was watching the show on TV every day in his room.
Imagine seeing this as a seven year old like I did. It shaped my imagination and the games I played so much.
I don't have to imagine. I was an eight year old who saw eight times in theaters.
You guys really need to watch "The Lost Boys", great vampire movie and great soundtrack!
A special note about everyones reaction when seeing the ship. When filming their discovery of the ship the kids were kept in the dark about the fact that the ship was built to scale. The reaction we see was their authentic reaction from their first look at it.
About Sloth . . .
Jay and everyone else: "What is it!?"
Amber: "He's so sweet!"
I moved from Oklahoma to Washington a couple years ago and have visited this town Astoria in Oregon a couple times. It's beautiful in this part of the country and everything is different from Ok. It's always green, the weather's mild even in the summer most houses don't have ac unless they are newer. Between the mountains, lakes, oceans, orchards there is so much to see. Great reaction!
It sounds beautiful, I’ve also heard that it is always green. One day we will have to travel to check it out ourselves
@@robsquadmoviereactions The Pacific Northwest _is_ beautiful and green, but the reason is because it rains there so much -- so bring an umbrella! ☔️
The goonies has been a forever favourite through out my childhood even up to now. It never gets old. This is one of a kind. A sequel can't be done and a remake will definitely flop..! This film is so deep in 1985. It what makes the 80s live on forever and its passing through from generation to generation!
My childhood classic movie!!! When I was little, I wanted to be a Goonie SO bad. Now living in the PNW, its brings out the child in me because of its beautiful scenery.
Loved your reactions. One of my favorite movies of all time!! Definitely look up the cast some of them are still acting. Mouth was a big time child actor. The Lost Boys is one of the classics. Data's other hit movie was Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. The older brother, Josh Brolin has been in so many things and has a new show Outer Range coming out. And the little brother Sean Astin most famous for The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
After watching this, I think you guys would love watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off. Different vibe, VERY fun!
Guys have to suggest Almost Famous, great feel good movie with a soundtrack to die for. Definitely ticks all your boxes
Hi guys! The "Hey you guys!!" reference that Sloth kept saying is a nod to a very, very popular children's programs that we all grew up with back in the day called, "The Electric Company".
I saw this for the first time in 2011 back in high school. Before that I saw bits of it on TV but never beginning to end.
I love how this film can be connected to lord of the rings, the avengers, and teenage mutant ninja turtles.
Also, I sent y’all an email about the passing of Ray Liotta, and suggesting you watch “Goodfellas” if you haven’t already. One of the greatest movies ever made, and one of my top 5 for sure. RIP Ray 🙏🏼
I had already suggested Field of Dreams, Ray Liotta was in it too.
Another great movie with Ray Liotta is "Dominic and Eugene". The acting is stellar and the story is a tear-jerker.
The movie takes place in Astoria, Oregon. But interesting fact- Josh Brolin is Brand, but is in Deadpool and is referred to as One-eyed Willy. He also plays Thanos. Corey Feldman as Mouth is one of my favorite characters. They have a reunion every year where all the actors come out to Astoria for a Goonies film festival, which is really cool.
They all did a live reading of the whole movie over zoom a couple years ago. It's called "The Goonies Reunite for Virtual Fundraiser ( No Kid Hungry) Full Livestream". They did a great job and it was a lot of fun to watch.
Love you guys. Just can't handle every 3 to 4 seconds breaking into the movie.
Two MUST WATCH movies:
1) Stand By Me
2) The Outsiders - Has a bunch of big name actors when they were still unknowns.
If you're looking for more movies from this era, definitely check out Willow....Its the perfect time since Disney is making a sequel TV series for it that premiers this November
Yeah and it’s a good movie and I’m mad Disney is cashing on it
@@Angelicwings1 As long as Warwick Davis is in it, I'm cool with them doing a sequel. :)
I loved this movie when I was a teenager, it was filmed in Astoria, Oregon about 40 minutes drive from the little town I lived in and we would often go to Astoria for summer vacation or kite festival, crabfest etc... it was one of the first films showing landmarks I was familiar with and that made it more relatable.
Also Kindergarten Cop was filmed there if you want to see more of the beautiful Oregon coast.
I grew up in Astoria for about 7 years then family moved.
Short Circuit as well
I was on vacay in the Pacific Northwest in 1996, and went to Astoria, OR, saw all the landmarks, the Goonie house, the school in Kindergarten Cop, crossed the bridge, went to the museum & this military base...great, charming little town, quite hilly...I'd move there if I could...the Goonies is one of my fave movies ever...
I grew up with this movie (I lived near Salem) but after joining the Coast Guard and getting stationed on the Washington side of the Astoria-Megler Bridge, it all became very real. It was cool seeing all the places I knew from the movies of my youth.
No way kindergarten cop❤
A couple of things you should know:
1) Their mention of an octopus wasn't them making shit up. In the directors cut, they actually had to fight a monster octopus in the waters outside of the pirate ship.
2) Even in the 1980s, the salvage laws in the U.S. would have put that ship in the possession of the people who found it, and given the fact that every single one of those adults knew that the Goonies rediscovered it, the ship and everything on it would technically be theirs, so them and all of their families would have been rich after the events in this film.
"HEY, YOU GUYS!" and "Ruth, Ruth, Baby Ruth!" were catchphrases that were familiar sounds between my brothers and I growing up.
We always said we were Goonies. And a few years ago my daughter actually bought me a Goonies t-shirt.
This movie was the coolest thing ever when it came out. This and E.T.
When traveling for work, I went out of my way to visit this place (Cannon Beach) in Oregon. I got some pics right before sunset (with those rocks). Notice when they’re riding their bikes near the beginning. It’s very much like stranger things in season one. Same vibe. I’m so glad I grew up when I did.
Goonies love it.
For a family movie night. (Angels in the outfield). Keep up the good work 😎👍
I was blessed to grow up in the 80’s….Kids movies back in the day were awesome!
Such an awesome movie, and I love your sign!
Filmed in and around Astoria, Oregon, where the movie was actually set.
Marbles actually has a variety of games. I grew up playing several types of marbles games, but the most common marbles game is called knockout. To play one draws a circle on the pavement, usually about the size of a basketball hoop. Both players put an equal amount of marbles in the center of the circle. Each player has a shooter, a larger than normal marble, about an inch in diameter, and they take turns shooting at the marbles in the center of the circle [to shoot, one curls their index finger around the shooter marble loosely with their thumb behind the shooter marble. The thumb flicks forward propelling the shooter into the circle of marbles: that's taking a shot], each player picks up their shooter after it comes to a stop, and each player keeps any of the regular marbles that they knock out of the circle. Continue taking turns until the circle is empty. That's the competitive version. The friendly version has one player putting an odd number of marbles in the center and each player collects those that they knock out. The winner is the one that knocks out the most marbles, then the player gets their marbles back.
I took anatomy and physiology in college. We worked with cadavers. Dissected dead people. It was not comfortable, but I made good grades. Still not comfortable. In fact, I had to drop the class the first time I tried to take it, cos it was soon after my foster parents were murdered, and I just couldn't handle cadavers so soon after.
The man behind the prosthetics and the wiggling ears was John Matuzak, former Oakland Raider and massive human. The steroids he took to get so big for his playing days were a large part of the death of him, unfortunately. But he was great as Sloth.
They actually BUILT One Eyed Willie's ship, and it was actually fairly seaworthy. They tried to sell it, and then give it away after the filming of the movie was done, but found no takers. It was destroyed. 😞 None of the cast saw the ship until the scene in the movie where it is first shown because they wanted to get the cast's actual reaction to the ship they'd built. Take two was used for the movie because they were rendered so speechless at their first look that they couldn't proceed.
The octopus that was referred to was a deleted scene. It looked cheesy and bad so it deserved to end up on the cutting room floor.
Sea caves can be more than deep enough to have a ship in. And it is possible for there to have been a channel made or remaining that would be deep enough for the ship to sail out. Considering all the engineering and equipment that Willie and his crew would have needed for these booby traps, it's possible that they could have cleared a breakaway channel for the ship to escape when someone stole Willie's share. Possible, but extremely unlikely. But that's the fun of movies, right?
Yeah, we played the friendly version of marbles as a kid, except we each put an equal amount of our own marbles in the center of the circle and tried to knock everyone else's out, and whoever was left standing with one marble inside the circle at the end was the winner. We all got our own marbles back at the end of the game. :)
Brand, the older brother, goes on to become Thanos. Mikey goes on to become Samwise Gamgee. Data was Indiana Jones’s sidekick before becoming a Goonie. Mouth goes on to become a vampire slayer. And Chunk in real life (the actor) goes on to become a director.
Holy cow!! We have to see the movies those guys are in and so cool to see all of them because so successful
@@robsquadmoviereactions Unfortunately, the ladies fell off the mainstream map within a couple of years after this movie.
Brand also became Cable in Deadpool 2 👍
@@robsquadmoviereactions "Mouth" real name Corey Feldman has been in a lot movies. He started acting quite young. He's even been in one the horror Friday the 13th movies. Stand by Me is one of his best with River Phoenix (RIP) and Wil Wheaton(Star Trek Next Generation tv show). Corey in License to Drive is great, funny movie.
How have you not seen this…like EVER?
1 of my all-time favorites growing up...& still is. Can never get tired of watching this classic. #GooniesNeverSayDie
the kid who played the older brother (Josh Brolin) was actually the voice of Thanos in the Avenger movies...💥😳👏
E.T. and Weird Science and Stand By Me. All 3 are classics and must see 80s movies guys.
You guys have to react to some of these 80's classics...
1. Die Hard (1988) Action.
2. Aliens (1986) Action, Sci-Fi Horror
3. Predator (1987) Action Sci-Fi
4. Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Action, Adventure.
We finally found the last two people who hadn't watched The Goonies. 😂
Great Review! The GOONIES will always be one of my favorite movies of all time.
Thanks!
Yes, what a movie!! No matter how old you are you have to love the Goonies.
Cory ( Mouth ) was also in another great movie from the 80s called 'Lost Boys' which I would recommend you check out.
For me, the best character in the movie is Data... He was great from his first scene to the last with his Dad and the belt camera. 🤣🤣🤣
Sean was great in 'Calfornia Man' with Brandon Fraiser and Pauly Shaw, he also played Sam Wise in Lord of the Rings. Brand became Thanos in 'Avengers' - Cable in Deadpool 2 and played the young 'J' in 'Men in Black 3' 👍👍
I don't care for Lost Boys, but if anyone wants more young Corey Feldman Stand By Me is the one I would recommend.
Lol I was going to correct you and say it's called Encino man but I saw that in some other countries the name is different 😁
@@frankrodriguez2999 hahaha, oh really? I wasn't aware it had different names in other countries. 'Taken' also has other names in different counties
Paulie Shore...
One of my favorite childhood movie!!! My age is right in the middle of those kids. Everyone knew every line. GOONIES NEVER DIE☠️✌️✌️✌️
I'm right there with you I went and seen it eight times in the theater.
Remember the Time You Said Michael Jackson Came to Your House to Use the Bathroom🤔
Okay Okay Michael Jackson didn't come to my house to use the Bathroom...But his Sister Did🤣🤣
I still say that phrase all of the time. These days, some people look at me crazier than normal 😂 And I say "Hey You Guys" as a greeting all of the time... in my semi-Sloth voice too.
The shouting of HEYYY YOUUU GUYYYSS was a throwback to a TV Series from the 70's-Early 80's The Electric Company
At the end when data says that "The octopus was very scary", he wasnt making up that story. Its in the deleted scenes. They have to fight off an octopus thats in the water outside of willys ship.
“Throw mama from the train” is a good one. Stars Billy Crystal, Danny Devito and the woman that played the mother in this movie also plays Danny Devitos mother in it. It’s really good
The mama in “Thrown Mama off the Train” was the same Mama who was thrown off the boat in Goonies. Awesome actor.
Anne Ramsey - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne_Ramsey
@@richerDiLefto it also starred Kate Mulgrew as Billy Crystal's ex-wife
Danny DeVito? I havent seen it in years but why do I remember it with Sly Stallone? I havent seen it for about 30 years, so maybe Im remembering it wrong.
I was born where this movie was filmed. The scenery is just gorgeous. Another film that was shot in Astoria, Oregon is Kindergarten Cop. Another movie you will absolutely love.
I just wanted to let you know I recently found you guys and am pure binging your stuff. You two are great!!!!
Anne Ramsey, who played the main villain, Mama Fratelli, is mostly known from 2 80s movies: this and a comedy called "Throw Momma from the Train", starring Danny Devito and Billy Crystal.
I suggest you watch the Alfred Hitchcock movie "Strangers on a Train" first because 'Throw Momma..." is partly a spoof on it.
Also, Corey Feldman, who played Mouth, was in a lot of movies in the 80s and 90s. He was in "The 'Burbs" which starred Tom Hanks. Hanks' wife was played by Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia from Star Wars). It's a mystery comedy. Feldman was one of the neighbors.
You were right about it being filmed in the Pacific Northwest! The Goonies house is still in Astoria, Oregon on the coast about 90 miles west of Portland. We used to go visit and see all the locations in Astoria, Cannon Beach, and along the famous highway 1 along the Pacific Ocean. It is a stunning drive with beautiful hiking locations. 💜
Yet ANOTHER classic! This may be my favorite so far. You may have seen Mikey(Sean Astin)in lots of movies you may know him from Lord of the Rings or Rudy. If you haven't seen either then add them to the list. 😉😁
Jay has seen Rudy but we haven’t seen lord of the rings but this was such a cool and funny movie
@@robsquadmoviereactions I was sure Jay seen Rudy being a sports fan and all. It's kne of the best football movies all-time. You guys got to react to the Lord of the Rings trilogy!!! It's a must! Anyways, back to the reaction...
@@robsquadmoviereactions BTW, you should watch Rudy one day when you get the chance. It's a great movie. Based in a true story and a real tearjerker.
Other popular one was 50 first dates! Almost cost him the LOTR role.
@@robsquadmoviereactions and Bob in Stranger Things!
New sub. I'm having so much fun going back and watching your own reaction to some of the most iconic, favorite movies of my time. 🙌
My second video of you all. Great reaction. You guys earned a fan. Also this is my all time favorite movie. Will be binging alot more of your videos.
I'm dying. This is one of my top 5 favorite movies. I'm so glad you got to watch it!!!
It was great!
Couple of compromise movies to tickle both your fancies, that you're sure to enjoy with plenty of romcom, action and humor, The Princess Bride which is an absolute must see classic and the lesser known but hilarious Grosse Pointe Blank, which also has a kick ass soundtrack and a great cast.
We will for sure write it down thank you so much PO
Say Anything is another classic
@@savsmiles3042 Agreed, though I'm more of a Better Off Dead fan to be honest.
Yes, love both of those movies!!!
@@po5283 I don’t know if I’ve ever watched Better Off Dead:)
The old woman is Ann Ramsay who won an academy award for her role in the Billy Crystal/Danny DeVito comedy Throw Momma From The Train. A must watch for you.
Sloth was played by ex defensive lineman John Mutuszak, who sadly passed away a few years after the Goonies was made. He played for the then Oakland Raiders.
Jeff Cohen, who played Chunk, left acting and became an entertainment lawyer.
Steven Speilberg was exeutive producer. To keep the excitement of the ship alive, the cast of kids were not privied to the ship before shooting the reveal. Their reaction was genuine.
One of my all time favorite childhood memories.
Great reaction guys. Thank you
Goonies is a rite of passage. Such classic!
It was awesome one we are glad to mark off the list for sure
I remember when this movie came out! I was 12 and could so relate to the friendship they all had! It was such a great movie!!! Thanks for the great reaction! And yes, Gremlins is a must!!!
Agreed!
A classic that everyone should see! I’m so glad y’all got to enjoy it!! ❤️
