Goonies, The (1985)

[Highlander II]

i'm waiting for this to go down in price on DVD -- i think it's running like $25 US - which is a little more than i wanna spend on any movie --- (esp considering it SO doesn't cost them $25 to put it onto the DVD - grrr)



hmmmmmmm ---

another good scene? -- i love the beginning - in the jail when the one Fretelli brother (Robert Davi) escapes ---

 

[Asmiley]

Oh that scene rocks! I mean hello! Classic fake your own death scene! Stupid jailguards!

 

[Highlander II]

<snerk>

yeah -- man that guard was stupid!


then there's the part where he has to jump into the car through the sunroof, that was conveniently open --

 

[Bones]

gotta love the film

chunk was such a good character

*does the truffleshuffle*

Ah! A Goonies forum! Hehe, i'm a bit late, but, anyway lol, i saw this movie when i was around 8 and i totally loved it! I loved it when they find the huge pirate ship with all the treasure on it, and i loved the happy ending and everything cant really remember much of it cept that it rocks in its 80's cheesiness!

xxx:smokin:

Me and my sisters quote movie lines all the time and Goonies is one of our favorites to quote from. I bought the tape last year and just can't get enough. I love when they're all yelling and talking at the same time. That's soooooooooo funny to me. I don't know why!
Hunder dollar bill!
Chester Copperpot!
One Eyed Willie
I thought you had braces
Slick shoes
Aren't you the one they call Mouth!
Hey You guys!

 

[Highlander II]

ya know - when I initially saw this - way back in the theatre! (yep, saw this one on the big screen) - I didn't really like the bad guys, and all the kids talking at the same time seemed so normal - ya know? b/c kids are like that - they all talk at once -

now, I almost find it annoying - but the movie is just so funny -

Like when Joe Pantoliano throws the pizza at Robert Davi (the Fretelli brothers) -- love that bit!

then, after they pick up Chunk on the road and take him back to the restaurant and they tell him to start at the beginning - and, well, he does -----

this is just one of those movies --- classic in all those cheesey ways - but it has treasure hunting and adventure and bad guys and the monster guy who isn't a monster ----

and Robert Davi singing in Italian -- what more could you want?

 

[Tabitha]

This is such a great film, I can't even begin to count how many times I watched it when I was younger... I loved the gadgety kid (whose name incoveniently escapes me right now, but I also recall being short-stop, or whatever, in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom), and his booby twaps ROFLMAO!

And that crazy piano - that was one of my favourite scenes....

 

[angelle myst]

Whenever i watch it now, it really takes me back, and i feel like a lil kid again

:fangs:xxx:smokin:

I can remember going to see this in the theatre with my buddies. It was great, every time I watch this film, I can remember my GI Joes and Transformers duking it out in my back yard.

 

[Asmiley]

In theatres now that would be a treat! To see that ship on the big screen must have been amazing!

..... *envisioning that scene on big screen makes me speechless...*

 

[angelle myst]

I only saw it on the little screen how cool it musta been for you!

*jealous glare*

 

[Starbeast]

I've seen this movie countless times, and always hoped for a sequel long ago.​

One of the best extras I enjoy on the DVD, is the "Live Audio Commentary" by the original cast. I highly recommend to everyone who is a huge fan to watch that cool extra, it's really entertaining.


Check this out, from 1985.........(skip video to 2:25 minutes)

It blew my mind recently to realize not only that Mikey (front middle) is the same actor who later player Samwise Gangee in the LOTR movies, and Bob in Stranger Things, but also that Brand - the guy at the back with the red bandana - is a young Thanos, or more recently, Paul Atriedes' weapon master Gurney Halleck in Dune:

 

[BAYLOR]

And this very much an underrated film.

 

[SilentRoamer]

This is such a coming of age film, has so much character, iconic music, and as Brian pointed out some showings of future talent.

Story wise, a follow up film of sorts is a possibility here.

The Monster Squad went in a more interesting direction with the kid gang concept. Although I am not a fan of that either. Great monster designs though.

Brand? You mean Josh Brolin, who's been in a lot of stuff like Men in Black 3, Jonah Hex, Thanos in the Marvel movies, and so much more.

Actually, most of those "kid" actors have been busy since then. All 5 of the ones in this photo.

It always gets me why the impoverished Spanish speaking cleaner didn't just casually slip the bag of diamonds into her own pocket.
