Data is now an Oscar winner! This is just a classic. It was huge when it came out. This whole cast is outstanding. Still holds up! Enjoyed your reaction.
I got choked up when he addressed his Mom looking right into the camera. Then happy cried when Ke hugged Brenden Frasier amd Harrison Ford. I was watching a Josh Gad video during lockdown, and he had the Goonies cast reunited. Ke mentioned Chunk was getting Ke into acting again. Then this year's Oscar night happened.. I had to go back and watch Josh's video to make sure it was the same movie and it was. Pretty cool to see the cast hype up their friend.
I think it's hard for you to truly grasp the freedom that many of us grew up with in the 70s and 80s. We got on our bikes and kept ourselves busy until the sun started setting. In my rural suburban neighborhood, kids had go-karts, mini bikes, Red Ryders, wrist rockets, firecrackers, skateboards, trampolines, klackers and lawn darts... just to name a few potentially harmful yet, extremely fun playthings. This was a great reaction to a great movie. Thanks for sharing.
60's as well. We used to hang out in the forests and woods, go fishing at ponds, just had to be home when the street lights came on. I don't know how more of us didn't die with some of the stuff we did. If you had a bike, you had freedom. Or relax, I used to take my books to the woods and sit in a tree reading all day.
I’m fairly certain we all had the same time in the day when we knew we had to come home. It was whatever time “it’s getting dark” was. I love my electronics, but I would happily give them up to go back to being a kid in those times.
From the age of 8, I spent the daylight hours of summer in the woods, usually on a dirt bike, as much 2 or 3 miles from home, and I was always equipped with a lighter and a pocket knife at the very least. The risk of serious injury was very real and it just added to the enjoyment of our adventures and shenanigans. So long as we were home and washed up in time for supper, it was all good. I wouldn't trade those times for anything in the world.
I lived in Florida in the late 80s and we would get golf umbrellas and skateboards and surf down the neighborhood streets during hurricanes - the 80s were wild.
Its definitely a cult classic. Whether it counts as a straight-up classic is going to depend on how broadly you define that. It's not at the same level as things like Ghostbusters or Back to the Future or Groundhog Day, let alone the really high-end stuff like E.T. and SWIV:ANH and Schindler's List.
His costume from this movie is in our “film museum” (the jail in this movie). Our town is so tiny you can actually see the production RV in most shots of the town 😂
@@TXstang347 Astoria, Oregon. I was still a baby when the movie was made, so I’m not sure what the building was at that time. But the big rock (haystack rock) in the ocean is the big tourist spot… not the museum
GOONIES NEVER SAY DIE! 🏴☠ You underestimate 80s and early 90's kids. We did actually dangerous stuff. It's a wonder we're still alive. And we came up with crazy Rube Goldberg machines.
A cool fun fact about this movie is they didn't let any of the kid actors see the ship ahead of time. So that scene where they all looked shocked when seeing One Eyed Willy's ship for the first time was a real genuine reaction.
Sloth's "Hey you guys!" line is a reference from the intro to a 1970's children's television program called "The Electric Company." Side note "The Electric Company" had Morgan Freeman as a cast member.
The older brother is Cable in Deadpool, Thanos in marvel, and the main character in no country for old men.. very good actor.. Sean Aston is in fact Sam in LoR.. We watch it at the lake house, no Wi-Fi no cable, just old vhs tapes (probably 60-80 of them cause none of us use vhs anymore so the whole family just dropped them up there) or a cheap dvd player.. it’s fun and nostalgic to use the vhs movies..
My absolute favorite movie of all time. Saw it in the theater, and probably 500 times since. Data was in Indiana Jones as well, and just won an Oscar this year. Mikey is Sam from Lord of the Rings as you thought. Chunk (Jeff Cohen) is now an entertainment contract lawyer and represents Data and one other cast member. This movie is the ultimate nostalgia for me, including Cyndi Lauper singing the theme song.
We went to the theatre to see this for my 10th birthday party, so this movie has definite nostalgia for me- I laughed when you said 15 or 16 would've been the more appropriate age to watch it.... things were just different back in the 80s haha.
The Goonies is required viewing for all Oregon children. The movie was based and filmed on the coast of Oregon in the USA which makes all of us Goonies by default.
Back in college I met a kid who went to Astoria high school in an online forum. He was also a photographer for his schools newspaper and sent me some awesome photos of Cannon Beach that he took
yep, Sean Aston was Sam. And his brother in this movie played by Josh Brolin was Cable in Deadpool 2, Thanos in Guardian of the Galaxy, also Thanos in 3 Avenger movies and a pretty lengthy list of other movies.
Being a kid of any age in the 80’s and 90’s was awesome! None of us should have actually made it to adulthood. I’m sure kids in earlier decades had just as much freedom but the difference is that we had ridiculous things to play with while using that freedom. Almost everything we messed around with would be a trip to jail for neglectful parents in the current day. It’s was great. There were only two times of day, before your dad whistled and after your dad whistled. To this day I still can’t figure out how he used two fingers to make a whistle loud enough to hear no matter how far away you were. That’s how you’d measure how far you could go. It had to be in whistling range or you were a deadman. Not hearing and immediately running home on whistle #1 was not an option. If the group realized you weren’t hearing the whistle so more angrier whistles came or they had to send another sibling after you or god forbid come looking for you themselves, every single kid would just look at you with dread etched on their faces knowing what you were in for. Even your worst enemy in the group wouldn’t wish that fate on you. No one ever really got into any real trouble as long as everyone lived through the day. Even crazier now is that if you ever did get caught by anyone doing something too bad, whoever caught you ( teacher, neighbor, friends parents, shop owners, old couple on the block) would beat your ass themselves and then you’d negotiate/beg who ever it was not to tell your parents. These days almost everything kids and adults used to do is illegal to do or allow kids to do. It’s a real shame. My kids and everyone else’s will never know what being a kid is really supposed to be like. I’d pay every dime I had and do anything necessary to be able to give my kids the childhood I had. Society has severely dropped the ball in every possible way. They’ve found a way to take every possible joy out of living. No wonder millions of people are on anti depressants. Kids are all on ADD/ADHD meds for no reason. You never used to have to settle overly hyper kids down. We’d just run ourselves ragged all day, go home, eat dinner, take a bath and then you’d pass out cold in bed. Being an “over active” kid now was just called being a kid then and not seen as a problem to fix. I know I’ve just ranted for far too long but this was nothing. I could keep going for forever. It’s all such a ridiculous shame!
Straight up CLASSIC. Entire cast has gone on to great movie careers and even an Oscar winner this year.The cave with the ship was actually built for this movie no CGI stuff. Sloth was played by John Matuszak a football defensive end played for Oakland and won a Super Ball ring in 1981. A must re-watch at least once a year with family and friends.
Sloth was played by John Matuszak who was an ex-NFL football player. This story was by Steven Spielberg and he apparently helped Richard Donner direct. It totally has a Indiana Jones vibe. Cute movie! 💜💜💜
Jeff Cohen, the kid who played Chunk, is now a Hollywood talent agent. He looks totally different and much more svelte than he was as a kid. You wouldn't even recognize him as being the same guy. Neat thing is that he is actually the talent agent for most of the now adult Goonies kids. This includes Ke Huy Kwan, who just won the Oscar for best supporting actor.
It's just a CLASSIC!! I was 15 when this came out but there are just too many things about it that stick with you. Yes, you are looking at a young Samwise and his big brother is Thanos, lol. The town in the movie is an actual place and they kept the name...Astoria, Oregon which was their primary film location as well as other locations in Oregon and California. It's Indiana Jonesesque because Steven Spielberg was involved in both projects and discovered Ke Huy Quan for Temple of Doom in '84 and then cast him for The Goonies.
I was 15 too! Saw it in the movies. The Corys and Keifer Sutherland were SO CUTE! Getting centerfolds out of Tiger Beat magazine without tearing their pictures! 😂 Oh, to be an 80's teenager again!
Im the same age as the main kids in this, i saw it in the theater and it was magic lol in the 80s as a teenager you really couldn't go to a bad movie, it was wonderful 👍
Lots of kid actors who went on to much bigger careers after this. Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Corey Feldman, Kerri Green, Martha Plimpton, and Ke Huy Quan
Though it wasn’t directly in the movie biz, Jeff Cohen certainly found his path to success, becoming an attorney, and eventually deleting the C from Chunk. 😉
I will never tell anyone the majority of the things we did. But we knew the porch lights, the street lights come on, the lightning bugs come out, had to get home. It might be a "check-in" before you and your closest buddies played stickball in the yard (or the field next door)...and that's just on the spring weekends close to summer.
Very good pick up on Sean Astin. The boy who makes the inventions is played by Ke Huy Kwan who just won award for Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. You mentioned this is Indiana Jones-esque, same boy. Jeff Cohen (Chunk) is better known these days for his work on the other side of the camera.
One of my all-time favorites. Not only did I watch this in the theatre with my dad when it came out, but was the same age as the Goonies. Not only that, but my friends and I were having adventures exploring places we weren't supposed be before this movie. So much nostalgia from my childhood.
I love The Goonies! As an '83 baby who grew up near the Oregon coast, we watched this A LOT! Always laughed that they took their bikes from Astoria to Cannon Beach. 🤣 ❤ Glad you finally got to watch it.
2h 15 mins is quite a bike ride 😮💨 25 miles. Astoria to Cannon Beach. My friends and I once rode our bikes to an indoor wave pool about 10 miles from our town. By car it’s 30 mins - so probably 1.5 to 2 hours away by bike. This was in England around 1993 on mostly single lane roads. Harrowing stuff 😅
How funny I JUST watched this last night, they play it a lot on Italian TV. Just watched it for the first time last year and it came out the year i graduated from high school. I look forward to this reaction.
Data is played by Ke Huy Quan, who finally won an Oscar for his role in “Any Time, Anywhere, All at Once”. He has been in a lot of movies. Another one that was also a huge movie was “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” as Short Round. He has done so much, but the majority off camera since finding roles for Asian characters was slim to none.
I love watching with him because he doesn’t blab like many others do. They cut so much of the film and talk incessantly. We want to see your emotional reactions, at least that’s how it is for me. The exclamations and such. We just giggle along. It drives me NUTS when they blab! He pays attention. Noticed things. Asks great questions. I have the original marquee of this film framed and on my wall. It was a great thing to experience as a kid. :) I don’t think he responds to comments on here but I’m gonna recommend an 80s legendary mix: The Neverending Story Labyrinth Dark Crystal Legend :) feel free to add on. He has already tackled back to the future. Am I missing any? Oh! And don’t you call Sloth an IT again!
Thank you for finally doing a reaction to this. You've mentioned it a couple of times and I've been patiently waiting. If you haven't already reacted to these, may I suggest "Lost Boys' and "Stand By Me"
I think the reason that this movie captivated me as a child was because it was entirely possible for us to ride our bikes to places we had never been before and get into some serious shenanigans… This was almost possible IRL. I also think that’s why popularity of Stranger Things is so high - The GenZ kids have never had an adventure of their own….
I grew up on this movie. This is my Nostalgia Boulevard, Kabir. I am so glad you got to see this. As for the bicycle accident, I have been through worse. Try having your left knee split open down to the knee cap with the bone visible. That shit hurts worse than a low speed car accident, which I have also been a victim of. As for the whole drug dealer dress code, Data was correct. The dude are based on the neighborhood, but I have never seen a drug dealer wear clothes like that. Polk Village drug dealers wore wife beaters or tshirts and whatever pants were comfy. Roanoke NW is usually baggy pants (good for concealed carry) and tshirts during Spring/Summer/Autumn and Arkansas they just look like regular country folk. As for the counterfeit paper, the US paper money is printed on on a textile paper containing cotton and hemp fibers exclusively available to the Treasury Department.
Thank you for bringing back memories of one of my favorite movies of all time! I was the same age as you when the movie came out. I met Robert Davi one time when I lived in Hollywood. He is the Fratelli brother without the glasses. Such a nice guy! He was also in Die Hard and Showgirls, and a bunch of other movies and TV shows.
Anne Ramsey, who played the matriarch of the Fertelli crime family, was also in Throw Mama From The Train, which featured Danny Devito and Billy Crystal. It was her last movie before she died of cancer
46 years old this is my all-time favorite movie ever. The very first thing I noticed was the film is inverted and it is so weird to watch it mirrored image but thank you for your review and commentary.
"Even though I wasn't alive in the 80s"....*dies. I was born in 1981,lol. Keep up these longer reactions, man. You're a good reactor, and I know it's difficult to put out longer reactions for some, when you are able to do them, we do appreciate it.
Fun Fact the actor who played Data just won the Oscar for best supporting actor this year, and the actor who played Chunk is his entertainment lawyer. The cast is still pretty close today.
This was the Christmas tradition for me & my dad. After dad passed, my husband bought me the anniversary special edition to keep the tradition alive. ❤
Fun fact during the scene where they are all looking at each other in the well, after that there was a scene where Andy takes the Goonie oath where she officially becomes a Goonie. Sad to say however, that scene got cut. I remember reading about it in the Goonies magazine that came out at that t8me.
This cast was a n all star cast but it was before they were famous. You have Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Keri Green, Jeff Cohen, Martha Plimpton, Ke Huy Quan, John Matuszak (a football player turned actor, he played Sloth). Robert Davi, Joe Pantoliano, and Anne Ramsey were the most famous, and all went on to have good careers. This was great as a movie, and all of them became very successful. The reason he started singing was to cover any screams by chunk while his brother grabbed him. Goonies was written by Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus. Spielberg waas Director for the First four Indiana Jones movies, so he definitely had that going in this.
The little Asian Kid just won an academy award this year. He was also in Indiana Jones. The first guy you commented on was indeed Sean Austin from Lord of the Rings. Lots of famous actors in this movie.
Mikey and Bran's house is still there and its a tourist attraction. The Goldbergs TV series did a good Goonies tribute episode and their costume wrangler found the actual shirt Chunk was wearing in the studio's stash and they used it in the episode. It is actually a woman's blouse.
I was so happy when I came home from being out with my mom and saw you did a reaction to goonies. I was five years old when this movie came out. I didn’t see the movie till I was 12. My sisters friends were watching this. It became a family favorite. It is a classic movie I can still quote it. I even had a door mat that said first you have to do the truffle shuffle. I love your channel. Hope you visit Colorado sometime
I was about 10 when Goonies came out. And we really did go off by ourselves and have adventures - we may not all have had pirate booby traps and treasure, but we had the freedom to. Some days in the summer holidays, I'd leave the house at 6am with sandwiches, and wouldn't be back till 4pm for tea. Then I'd be back out till the street lights came on (usually about 9pm). It was the same for friends - it was just normal.
Being an older Millenial, it always cracks me up when I remember what movies used to be like, because they were so well rounded with humor, adventure, romance, mystery--something for everyone. I was just a baby when this movie came out but I recall watching it as a young kid probably on cable replay. The censorship/ratings guidelines today are much different because this would probably be too scary for my 10yo nephew. If you have a chance to check out any John Candy movies such as Uncle Buck or the Great Outdoors, you wont be dissapointed. His movies are also amazing and capitvate the 80's-90's well.
Yep Samwise and his brother Thanatos. I watch a streamer on twitch who lives in that town. She used to live near that house of theirs. I think its a museum now..or maybe still private .there is a museum of the jail in town. She has filmed her visits there. Its so cool. Seen an interview with the guy who played Sam in TLotR. He said in that waterslide and stuff scene they spent the day doing that and it was ice cold. Its SUCH a great movie. has always been on e of my favorites since it came out. Chunk is now a skinny guy. John Matuszak an ex football player played Sloth. He died at age 38 due to an accidental overdose and undiagnosed enlarged heart and lung disease. All the kids cast still look great today...they're my age :)
This was produced by Steven Spielberg, who directed Raiders of the Lost Ark, A George Lucas film and franchise. He was very involved with the direction of this as well. He also was a executive producer on Back to the Future.
.The actor that played Sloth was a pro football player named John Matuszak who sadly passed away just a few years later at the age of 38. I thought you might like to see what he really looked like.
Another fun fact the boy that has all the gadgets the actor’s name is Ke Huy Quan he also starred in the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom as Short Round and this year he won a Oscar for his role in Everything Everywhere All At Once!!!

And then the kids screwed it up by swearing, so they had to reshoot it
There was also originally an octopus that attacked them in that scene. That’s why Data mentions a octopus to the police at the end of the movie.
And yes all the cast mates ( goonies) were happy to see their friend receive an Oscar ! 👍
Chunk (Jeff) is Ke’s agent.

I will never tell anyone the majority of the things we did. But we knew the porch lights, the street lights come on, the lightning bugs come out, had to get home. It might be a "check-in" before you and your closest buddies played stickball in the yard (or the field next door)...and that's just on the spring weekends close to summer.
this movie is a rite of passage and truly defines a generation
Very good pick up on Sean Astin. The boy who makes the inventions is played by Ke Huy Kwan who just won award for Everything, Everywhere, All At Once. You mentioned this is Indiana Jones-esque, same boy. Jeff Cohen (Chunk) is better known these days for his work on the other side of the camera.
Not a cult classic, but a full-on classic.
One of my all-time favorites. Not only did I watch this in the theatre with my dad when it came out, but was the same age as the Goonies. Not only that, but my friends and I were having adventures exploring places we weren't supposed be before this movie. So much nostalgia from my childhood.
Straight-up classic! :)
I love The Goonies! As an '83 baby who grew up near the Oregon coast, we watched this A LOT! Always laughed that they took their bikes from Astoria to Cannon Beach. 🤣 ❤ Glad you finally got to watch it.
2h 15 mins is quite a bike ride 😮💨 25 miles. Astoria to Cannon Beach.
My friends and I once rode our bikes to an indoor wave pool about 10 miles from our town. By car it’s 30 mins - so probably 1.5 to 2 hours away by bike.
This was in England around 1993 on mostly single lane roads. Harrowing stuff 😅
@@poolhall9632See, you get it. lol That's basically how the ride is there. Narrow, wet, dark coastal road. Definitely wouldn't have taken bikes.
We watch Goonies every Thanksgiving after we eat.
Food coma flick😅
Filmed in Astoria, Oregon, right by the Pacific ocean
How funny I JUST watched this last night, they play it a lot on Italian TV. Just watched it for the first time last year and it came out the year i graduated from high school. I look forward to this reaction.
Classic gem!! Glad you finally watched it! Thanks for taking us back.
Data is played by Ke Huy Quan, who finally won an Oscar for his role in “Any Time, Anywhere, All at Once”. He has been in a lot of movies. Another one that was also a huge movie was “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” as Short Round. He has done so much, but the majority off camera since finding roles for Asian characters was slim to none.
I love watching with him because he doesn’t blab like many others do. They cut so much of the film and talk incessantly. We want to see your emotional reactions, at least that’s how it is for me. The exclamations and such. We just giggle along. It drives me NUTS when they blab! He pays attention. Noticed things. Asks great questions. I have the original marquee of this film framed and on my wall. It was a great thing to experience as a kid. :) I don’t think he responds to comments on here but I’m gonna recommend an 80s legendary mix:
The Neverending Story
Labyrinth
Dark Crystal
Legend
:) feel free to add on. He has already tackled back to the future. Am I missing any?
Oh! And don’t you call Sloth an IT again!
This movie is the eighties! Great reaction!
Not only is that Samwise Gamgee playing Mikey, that is Thanos playing his older brother, Brandon.
This movie was filmed in Oregon on the coast, which is where I live. Come to Oregon you'll love I would love to be your guide.
Thank you for finally doing a reaction to this. You've mentioned it a couple of times and I've been patiently waiting. If you haven't already reacted to these, may I suggest "Lost Boys' and "Stand By Me"
Whenever we have ice cream someone will say, “Rocky Road” in that way and we all laugh and remember the movie
I can’t even look at a Baby Ruth in a store without thinking of this movie.
I think the reason that this movie captivated me as a child was because it was entirely possible for us to ride our bikes to places we had never been before and get into some serious shenanigans…
This was almost possible IRL.
I also think that’s why popularity of Stranger Things is so high - The GenZ kids have never had an adventure of their own….
hell, we would have MADE it possible! lol ;P
I grew up on this movie. This is my Nostalgia Boulevard, Kabir. I am so glad you got to see this. As for the bicycle accident, I have been through worse. Try having your left knee split open down to the knee cap with the bone visible. That shit hurts worse than a low speed car accident, which I have also been a victim of. As for the whole drug dealer dress code, Data was correct. The dude are based on the neighborhood, but I have never seen a drug dealer wear clothes like that. Polk Village drug dealers wore wife beaters or tshirts and whatever pants were comfy. Roanoke NW is usually baggy pants (good for concealed carry) and tshirts during Spring/Summer/Autumn and Arkansas they just look like regular country folk. As for the counterfeit paper, the US paper money is printed on on a textile paper containing cotton and hemp fibers exclusively available to the Treasury Department.
Thank you for bringing back memories of one of my favorite movies of all time! I was the same age as you when the movie came out. I met Robert Davi one time when I lived in Hollywood. He is the Fratelli brother without the glasses. Such a nice guy! He was also in Die Hard and Showgirls, and a bunch of other movies and TV shows.
Mama Fratelli was in another good comedy. 'Throw Momma from the Train'. In Data's defense flairs back then looked just like old time dynamite.
I went to the movies to see this movie when it came out. So many good memories from the 80s. Loved it. Thanks for sharing Kabir.
I saw this movie for the first time when I was 5 and I’ve loved it ever since.
Anne Ramsey, who played the matriarch of the Fertelli crime family, was also in Throw Mama From The Train, which featured Danny Devito and Billy Crystal. It was her last movie before she died of cancer
Is anyone here old enough to remember the giant octopus scene before they deleted it? Love this movie, brings back so many memories!😊
46 years old this is my all-time favorite movie ever. The very first thing I noticed was the film is inverted and it is so weird to watch it mirrored image but thank you for your review and commentary.
"Even though I wasn't alive in the 80s"....*dies. I was born in 1981,lol. Keep up these longer reactions, man. You're a good reactor, and I know it's difficult to put out longer reactions for some, when you are able to do them, we do appreciate it.
I was in high school in 1981…*dies twice. 😂
@@Y_.R I wasnt even 10 in 81 lol
Sloth was played by John 'tooz' Matuszak. A 6'8" 280 lb DE/DT with the Oakland Raiders.
This me and my bestie's favorite movie...our ring tones for each other are Goonies. Awesome reaction!!!
Sam and Thanos playing brothers
Anne Ramsey who played Mama Fertelli, was so good in the 80s. If you get a chance, watch "Throw momma from the train". One of Danny Devitos best
Fun Fact the actor who played Data just won the Oscar for best supporting actor this year, and the actor who played Chunk is his entertainment lawyer. The cast is still pretty close today.
Goonies Never Say Die!!
An absolute CLASSIC!!
Writing this before I even watch the video, I am so happy you watched this such a childhood memory
This movie and Monster Squad are some my all time favorites from childhood. So good.
Oh these were the days❤My absolute Favorite Comfort Movie...
This was the Christmas tradition for me & my dad. After dad passed, my husband bought me the anniversary special edition to keep the tradition alive. ❤
Fun fact during the scene where they are all looking at each other in the well, after that there was a scene where Andy takes the Goonie oath where she officially becomes a Goonie. Sad to say however, that scene got cut. I remember reading about it in the Goonies magazine that came out at that t8me.
This cast was a n all star cast but it was before they were famous. You have Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Keri Green, Jeff Cohen, Martha Plimpton, Ke Huy Quan, John Matuszak (a football player turned actor, he played Sloth). Robert Davi, Joe Pantoliano, and Anne Ramsey were the most famous, and all went on to have good careers. This was great as a movie, and all of them became very successful.
The reason he started singing was to cover any screams by chunk while his brother grabbed him.
Goonies was written by Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus. Spielberg waas Director for the First four Indiana Jones movies, so he definitely had that going in this.
The one bloke was in the Indiana Jones movie actually!
Samwise Gamgee and Thanos teaming up!
Sending some love from goonies land (Astoria)! I moved here from London (I am American, just lived in London for a long time)
One of my favorite movies. I got my kids hooked on it when they were both little.
Thanks to Steven Spielberg every kid from the 70’s and 80’s had a greater imagination than any other generation!
It's fun to see the reaction of someone who wasn't even born or considered at the time of this movie enjoying it and being entertained by it .
The little Asian Kid just won an academy award this year. He was also in Indiana Jones. The first guy you commented on was indeed Sean Austin from Lord of the Rings. Lots of famous actors in this movie.
Mikey and Bran's house is still there and its a tourist attraction. The Goldbergs TV series did a good Goonies tribute episode and their costume wrangler found the actual shirt Chunk was wearing in the studio's stash and they used it in the episode. It is actually a woman's blouse.
The score was composed by Joseph Williams , son of John Williams
I was so happy when I came home from being out with my mom and saw you did a reaction to goonies. I was five years old when this movie came out. I didn’t see the movie till I was 12. My sisters friends were watching this. It became a family favorite. It is a classic movie I can still quote it. I even had a door mat that said first you have to do the truffle shuffle. I love your channel. Hope you visit Colorado sometime
I was about 10 when Goonies came out. And we really did go off by ourselves and have adventures - we may not all have had pirate booby traps and treasure, but we had the freedom to. Some days in the summer holidays, I'd leave the house at 6am with sandwiches, and wouldn't be back till 4pm for tea. Then I'd be back out till the street lights came on (usually about 9pm). It was the same for friends - it was just normal.
Being an older Millenial, it always cracks me up when I remember what movies used to be like, because they were so well rounded with humor, adventure, romance, mystery--something for everyone. I was just a baby when this movie came out but I recall watching it as a young kid probably on cable replay. The censorship/ratings guidelines today are much different because this would probably be too scary for my 10yo nephew. If you have a chance to check out any John Candy movies such as Uncle Buck or the Great Outdoors, you wont be dissapointed. His movies are also amazing and capitvate the 80's-90's well.
The “red water” was supposed to have been a commercial tie in with Cherry 7up that had just came out…but the commercial was pulled
One of my favorite movies.this came out when I was 10 and it made quite an impression on me.
If you liked this then I would recommend another Classic 1980's movie that captures the same feel of this one called "Monster Squad".
I love that this is what a kids movie (8-12) was in the '80s.
Thanks keep up the fantastic work Kabir
Thanks so much Unicorn :)
"Therrs no way they rigged that up"
Kid, I was digging up more complicated dangerous stuff as a child than this lolol
Stranger Things has Goonies vibes you mean :)
Note Rosililta was also the mother in law that was mowed down on Desperate Housewives!
Yep Samwise and his brother Thanatos. I watch a streamer on twitch who lives in that town. She used to live near that house of theirs. I think its a museum now..or maybe still private .there is a museum of the jail in town. She has filmed her visits there. Its so cool. Seen an interview with the guy who played Sam in TLotR. He said in that waterslide and stuff scene they spent the day doing that and it was ice cold.
Its SUCH a great movie. has always been on e of my favorites since it came out. Chunk is now a skinny guy. John Matuszak an ex football player played Sloth. He died at age 38 due to an accidental overdose and undiagnosed enlarged heart and lung disease.
All the kids cast still look great today...they're my age :)
This was a weekly watch for my brother and I when we were kids. I think our copy was taped from tv.
I watched this movie with my kids 1985, seems so long ago when I was 25.
This was produced by Steven Spielberg, who directed Raiders of the Lost Ark, A George Lucas film and franchise. He was very involved with the direction of this as well. He also was a executive producer on Back to the Future.
.The actor that played Sloth was a pro football player named John Matuszak who sadly passed away just a few years later at the age of 38. I thought you might like to see what he really looked like.
Another fun fact the boy that has all the gadgets the actor’s name is Ke Huy Quan he also starred in the movie Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom as Short Round and this year he won a Oscar for his role in Everything Everywhere All At Once!!!
Loved that movie. Haven't seen it in many, many years,
the goonies is always a great classic. came out year i was born like back to the future.
Well, the Duffer Bros were less than 2 years old when this movie was released, and look what it did for them. 😄
