a sequel to the goonies has been buzzed about almost since the goonies was released in 1985. although another goonies adventure has yet to make it to the big screen, there is a sequel out there…sort of. in 1986, konami released a game for the nintendo entertainment system called the goonies ii. the premise of the game is that the fratelli gang is on the loose and has captured almost all of the kids and trapped them in their hideout (they' re also holding a mermaid named annie captive). the player controls the sole non - kidnapped goonie, mikey, as he works to find and free his friends .

warner bros. interactive entertainment on thursday announced several new expansion packs for the toy - videogame hybrid, including harry potter, the goonies, and knight rider .
just because something has a treasure map, that doesn' t make it the goonies. in fact, the plot itself is pretty secondary. when you sit and think about the goonies, you think about the characters, the use of language, the emotional issues the characters are dealing with. and when i think of movies that really are like the goonies, they might, at first, be surprising: on its face, earth to echo (another filmed that many people called
millennial goonies
) is only superficially similar, but it did manage to capture the adult language that kids absorb and then turn around and use in their private lives .
when we spoke to donner, he also mentioned as an aside that the goonies is getting a musical adaptation that' ll be
immersive
and actually feature members of the audience, which is pretty damn cool. but what have the goonies been up to since then? are they still good enough ?
it' s hard not to love cyndi lauper. the grammy - winning singer - songwriter' s takes on

goonies
fans is that her anthemic contribution to the
goonies
soundtrack ,
the goonies' r' good enough ,
doesn' t even mention the goonies in the lyrics. like, at all. even the music video, which replicates the goonies' pirate - ship adventure, casts some of the then - wwf' s greatest wrestling stars in lieu of the goons. since they went that route, would it have been too much to ask to have sloth take on the iron sheik at nassau colosseum ?
the reddit user then states ,
since the goonies lived in the goon docks, or the poor part of town, my theory is that at least the city' s wealthy elite knew about the treasure and kept that secret from the citizens of astoria .
first, the bad news: we’re still no closer to a sequel to the goonies today than we were in 1985. last year, director richard donner caused the internet to collectively freak out when he told a tmz cameraman that a sequel to the goonies was finally happening and the original cast was returning. thanks to sites that most people have never heard of recycling the clip as fresh news, it has become the click that keeps on baiting, with people sharing it daily with the hopes that the goonies 2 is on its way, 30 years later .
the goonies level pack includes a complete level of the goonies gameplay where players can help sloth and chunk escape the fratelli hideout and join the rest of the goonies on their search for one eyed willy’s treasure. players can use sloth’s super strength to smash through walls or play as chunk and use his infamous truffle shuffle. the rebuildable one - eyed willy’s pirate ship will sail on water and can also be built into the fanged fortune and the inferno cannon; while the rebuildable skeleton organ has sonar smash abilities and can also be built into the skeleton jukebox and skele - turkey for added game play capabilities. sloth provides access to a new the goonies battle arena, and also the adventure world where players can explore mikey’s house, inferno cove and the goon docks. once the level is complete, players will be able to replay through the game and other levels as any of the seven other goonies characters to solve additional puzzles and access more collectibles in their journey through the lego multiverse .
the chamber had hoped the oregon film museum — housed in the old clatsop county jail building used in “the goonies” prison break scene — would draw people away from the goonies house. the film museum offers the house as a backdrop on their green screen set, where people can insert themselves into an image of the house as an alternative to visiting it. “now i think they just do both, ” willkie said .
will caplinger, a neighbor with a background in land use planning, argues the city has violated astoria’s comprehensive plan by allowing goonies activities to grow unchecked in the neighborhood .
2. while the goonies are
good enough
for the title of cyndi lauper' s soundtrack contribution, they' re not quite good enough for her lyrics .
with the goonies turning 31 this year, you' d think we' ve already heard all the fan theories possible, and yet, you' d be mistaken .
the goonies level pack includes a complete level of the goonies gameplay where fans can play through the story of the iconic ‘80s film, helping sloth and chunk escape the fratelli hideout and join the rest of the goonies on their search for one eyed willy’s treasure. players can use sloth’s super strength to smash through walls or play as chunk and use his infamous truffle shuffle. the rebuildable one - eyed willy’s pirate ship will sail on water and can also be built into the fanged fortune and the inferno cannon; while the rebuildable skeleton organ has sonar smash abilities and can also be built into the skeleton jukebox and skele - turkey for added gameplay capabilities. sloth provides access to a new the goonies battle arena, and also the adventure world where players can explore mikey’s house, inferno cove and the goon docks. once the level is complete, players will be able to replay through the game and other levels as any of the seven other goonies characters to solve additional puzzles and access more collectibles in their journey through the lego multiverse .
[ laughs ] which may be a way to get into, if we ever do the sequel to the goonies, maybe that’s the way into it actually. i never thought about that .
the slide the goonies ride to get to the cave with one - eyed willy’s ship was a fully functioning waterslide (the end credits thank the langford surf coaster corporation for building it). donner and the crew would allegedly sneak in after filming wrapped for the day to ride the slide .
remember the new guy: annie wasn' t in the first game, and certainly never appeared in the movie, but the goonies seem to already know her at the start. the fratellis kidnap her specifically to get revenge on them, and when mikey saves her at the end, she tells him that she loves him. it' s never explained who she is, or how the goonies came to know her .

if richard donner could make a new goonies movie that believably continues the story of aging misfits who collectively (and perhaps secretly) still yearn for the adventures of their bygone youth, i' ll give that story a chance to live or die on its own merits. after all, goonies never say die .
hell, even i' m guilty of this. i called paranorman ,

as the goonies reaches its 25th anniversary this year, warner home video has announced a commemorative blu - ray release of richard donner' s 80s adventure classic .
we are living in an age where everyone wants to be the goonies. why? because goonies is the best goddamn movie ever made (probably). even if it isn' t the best movie ever made, hollywood certainly loves referencing it, along with all the other nostalgic amblin movies of their youth. and it' s probably time to stop .
as well as a high definition version of the feature, the disc will also contain a commentary from donner and the cast, a making - of documentary, outtakes and the music video for cyndi lauper' s the goonies r good enough .
& apos; the goonies & apos; was an ensemble movie all the way, and the seven actors who played the ragtag gang of young treasure hunters all delivered memorable performances. in fact, most of them used & apos; the goonies & apos; as a springboard into long careers in tv and film, and even the ones who didn & apos; t have found success in other venues .

when the goonies turned 30 in 2015, the specter of a long - rumored sequel continued to loom overhead. this was an important milestone for a beloved film that has heretofore avoided the dreaded remake / reboot .
if the goonies are to return, this sounds like a pretty good way to do it. it' s encouraging that spielberg and donner are involved and kudos to warners for wanting to get the original team back together, rather than getting new actors to fill the voice roles. so, how do you feel about this news? are you hyped to see the goonies return ?
in a recent email to their goonies fanbase, the chamber wrote: “with vandalism, theft, excessive litter, obnoxious parking jobs, late night visitations and more the neighborhood has quite the turmoil in their backyard. ”
the goonies level pack also unlocks a movie - themed adventure world, where players can explore mikey' s house, inferno cove and the goon docks. it' s good enough for me .
there was even a song dedicated to the scene ,

finally, the goonies come upon willy' s ship, and start to scoop up the treasure they hope will pay their families' debts so they' ll be able to keep their homes and stay in astoria. the fratellis intervene at the last second though, and force them to hand everything over. chunk and sloth enter the picture, and sloth has some issues to sort out with the fam. while the fratellis are occupied, the goonies escape from the cave and make their way back to shore .
maclennan said astoria is her last stop, where she hopes to visit many of “the goonies” filming locations. “my favorite scene is when they leave the house and ride their bikes, ” she said .

goonies

willy' s old treasure map riddled with hints and clues to his fabled loot, an opportunity to save their homes will emerge. before long, a race against time and the criminal family of the fratellis will begin; one that will lead the goonies to an underground maze of dangerous booby traps, all designed by willy himself to protect his fortune. are the goonies worthy of their reputation, moreover, is the treasure real ?
but, what is unusual is the music video for “the goonies ‘r’ good enough. ” there’s a pretty substantial intro that i don’t think i’ve ever seen before and, after doing a little research, i discovered this intro was not shown in the united states during the song’s blazing run as a “number 10 hit. ” directed by the goonies director richard donner, the video also features a plethora of stars from what was then called the world wrestling federation, who are all somehow involved in the very confusing plot of this video .
if you are looking at this item, then you know what it is so i won' t go into a description here. how did it take so long for this to come out? the goonies soundtrack that has been available for so long is only a small fraction of the music from the movie and this cd completes the collection. the sound quality of this cd is superb and the individual instruments involved can easily be heard within the composition. if you are a goonies fan, this is a must for the collection !
i know most of you aren’t playing lego dimensions. i have the game in my house and have only played it once. so for most people, the exciting part of this release is getting a sloth goonies lego minifig. now imagine if lego actually released a goonies lego playset? i’d love to see something with working booty traps or even a recreation of one - eyed willie’s ship .
the goonies is a classic' 80s movie, but it' s endured for more than 30 years because it' s also timeless—the rip - roaring story of a tight - knit group of friends fighting land developers and criminals in search of treasure and adventure. put on some cyndi lauper, tear open a baby ruth, and never say die as you uncover some things you may not have known about the goonies .
“it’s like the crab fest, but people are spread around town instead of in one place, ” willkie said, referencing april’s crab, seafood and wine festival that often represents the busiest weekend in astoria — when the goonies are not in town .
true, the goonies comparison was more thrust upon the monopoly producer rather than being something he derived from his own inspiration. no one is running around calling this film the
new goonies .
but we are getting so cavalier about name - checking these old films, it' s hard not to see that coming. there' s a plethora of up - and - coming films (some dead, some still in development purgatory) that have name - checked goonies, including the view - master movie, kent alterman' s treehouse and zach braff' s adaptation of andrew henry' s
meadow .
brolin, who would later star in films like no country for old men and milk (for which he was nominated for an oscar for best supporting actor), got his start in the business as brand in the goonies .
this was a fun write up. regarding a sequel…. let’s not. please remember, we can’t have nice things. the goonies is one of the few nice things that has remained so. let’s not push our luck .
then: in & apos; the goonies, & apos; jeff cohen played chunk, the goonie with the biggest appetite. chunk was also known for his unique & apos; hawian shirt on plaid pants & apos; fashion sense and the notorious & apos; truffle shuffle. & apos; cohen had appeared in & apos; the facts of life, & apos; & apos; family ties & apos; and & apos; benson & apos; before & apos; the goonies. & apos ;
the goonies ii: the fratellis' last stand is a sequel to the famicom game, though this one was fully localized. it takes the platforming elements, but, like castlevania ii simons quest, changes the levels to free roaming exploration. it also includes elements not seen in the movie at all, like a mermaid to rescue .
matuszak was an ex - football star for the houston oilers and washington redskins before he started acting and was featured in
goonies
as chunk' s friend sloth. unfortunately, he died at just 38 years old in 1989 from an accidental overdose, according to the ny times. before
goonies ,

north dallas forty
and
one man force .
warren estimates that between 10, 000 and 15, 000 people visited the goonies house during the 30th anniversary celebration in june. this figure matches the chamber’s estimate — 12, 000 to 15, 000 — of how many people pilgrimaged to astoria specifically to commemorate the pop culture phenomenon .

while fans are still eagerly waiting for the lego batman movie and knight rider sets arriving next week, lego dimensions gives us a peek at the goonies, lego city and harry potter packs that will be showing up three months later .
in the case of the goonies, it' s the grown - ups who are waging war against the banks, their workaday jobs, and their own maladjusted, mischievous offspring. the towel has already been thrown in, as it were, allowing the country club' s bulldozers to not only demolish a town, but the childhoods of several children along with it .
the goonies have all grown up. in 2001, here are jonathan ke huy quan, corey feldman, sean astin, richard donner, kerri green, martha plimpton, jeff cohen, and josh brolin .
, the cave sets and the cinematography in the underground tunnels are almost identical to the second indiana jones adventure. the other very clear parallel, unless you have no sight, is the fact that short round himself is along for the ride. ke huy quan plays the gadget crazy data in the film and he is a joy to watch for any indy fan. all indy fans will also note that robert davi' s character in the film wears an indiana jones fedora during the film while chasing the goonies .
the goonies make their way through a series of tunnels and underground rooms, negotiating one - eyed willy' s many booby traps and other hazards. they' re hotly pursued by the fratellis, and later chunk and sloth enter the tunnels as well, bringing up the rear. anyone else want to join the party ?
regina willkie, the astoria - warrenton area chamber of commerce’s marketing director, said 2010’s 25th anniversary of “the goonies” brought in around 15, 000 people, and every indication is that as many or more will show up in astoria this weekend .

, the climax of the film peaks when the final trap is accidentally sprung and the whole place comes crashing down .
the timing couldn' t be more apt: the unexpected success of the recent netflix series stranger things has been a sharp reminder of just how large the author still looms over the cultural landscape. brothers matt and ross duffer' s eight - part, 1980s - set paranormal drama paid extravagant homage to the king canon, along with classic amblin productions such as the goonies and e. t. the extra - terrestrial .
in the goonies, the production allows us to lose ourselves in the kids' adventure. it looks almost as if someone went down there with them with a handheld video camera (and maybe a few lighting and sound guys). everything looks simple, natural, and perfect .
ignff: i' ve shown goonies to young kids recently, around 7 and 8 years old and they loved it. they watched it and were totally enraptured. they kept the dvd and watched it over and over .
already a hit on release in 1985, family adventure film the goonies since has amassed a large cult fanbase, who are often heard clamouring for a sequel – and they’ll be somewhat sated with the news that the film’s director, richard donner, is planning an immersive theatrical version of the film off - broadway .
ignff: a goonies sequel has been discussed for years. i know you' ve gotten this question a million ways over the years, but the fans just want to know if there is still any hope. do you think it could ever happen ?

one big problem remains: the city can suggest that people not walk the street in front of the goonies house, but “as long as that’s a city street, it is a public thoroughfare, ” warr said, “and we can’t stop people from going on a public thoroughfare. ”
before license to drive, the lost boys, and the reality show the two coreys, teen idols corey haim and corey feldman were just individual coreys, going about their business as child actors in hollywood. they were often up for the same roles in the same movies—such as the goonies. the storied coreys actually met each other for the first time in the waiting room of at steven spielberg' s amblin entertainment, the company producing the movie. both coreys were up for the part of mouth. feldman got the part, and haim did not—but at least he made a friend .
9: 41 – he talks about the goonies musical and dave on broadway. “ dave is really moving fast. we were in there, lauren and i, and she heard some of the music and the book and it’s sensational. and goonies is moving at the beginning stages, like a year before dave. we’re getting good outlines and good story from tim…oh shit, this is terrible. he’s a wonderful writer. i’d say hopefully we’ll have a good script maybe by the middle of this year, around september or october we’ll have a script that we can go to from there. it’s a long process, broadway, it’s amazing. it’s frightening in a strange way. but we only get great reactions from everybody, everybody wants to see it. it seems like a great idea, and we’ll persevere. a musical of goonies on broadway? but it’s gotta be irreverent, and it’s gotta be goonies. a lot of people are pushing, ‘oh rewrite it, do it for adults, ’ i said, ‘no adults go to see goonies, but it’s gotta be…’ anyway, it’s a bitch (laughs). ”
i met columbus in a midtown manhattan hotel on a desolate floor that did happen to have a nice enough couch. over the course of this interview, we managed to name check a good number of columbus’s “greatest hits, ” – including the films mentioned above and the first two blockbuster harry potter movies – as well as the the never - ending rumors that the goonies and gremlins will both see revivals. (if i were betting money based on columbus’s body language, i would bet we see a gremlins movie before we ever, or never, see another goonies adventure. )
the goonies are a group of friends living in a village, the groups leader mikey walsh, his older brother brand and gang members andy, data, stef, mouth, and chunk are being evicted from their homes which are to be demolished. setting out to find a way of saving their homes, the goonies find a treasure map and they set off in search for the treasure of the legendary pirate one - eyed willy which is located beneath a abandoned restaurant. joined by a deformed gentle giant named sloth, the goonies embark on a great adventure through a underground maze filled with traps and skeletons, where they are pursued by sloth' s mother, thief momma fratelli and his brothers jake and francis who are also after one - eyed willy' s treasure and they willing to get the treasure first .

to get a more naturalistic performance out of astin in the scene in which he tells his fellow goonies about the legend of one - eyed willy, donner had the child actor improvise in an offbeat way. donner simply told astin the story moments before they shot and had the actor tell it back to him as best as he could with cameras rolling .
so what i am going to attempt to do is make some sense of the plot of the music video of cyndi lauper’s “the goonies ‘r’ good enough” – because there’s such little sense in the world right now, but at least maybe we can try to find some sense in this. we need to do this. the world is counting on us .
the next patch of lego dimensions expansion packs are on their way and will arrive on may 9 in north america and may 12 in the uk. the biggest release of the bunch will be a level pack based upon richard donner’s classic 1985 film the goonies. the other two expansions are fun packs, which includes a character and a vehicle, based off harry potter and lego city .
three were by konami. one was for the msx. it was a platformer game with some adventure elements. the actual connection to the movie was rather light. mikey' s fellow goonies are captured instead of traveling with him, and the fratellis are basically individual mooks instead of the family chasing the heroes. then you have rats, bombs, and mikey using a kick attack .
earlier this week, the makers of the still very far - off monopoly movie (based on the board game of the same name) made the tired comparison. in an interview with collider, producer randall emmett was prompted with the idea that the movie was similar to the goonies and he replied ,
that' s a perfect analogy to what monopoly will hopefully be. there is a treasure map… it' s a family adventure film .
the question is, do we really need a sequel to this beloved ‘80s movie? some stories are just best left alone, especially when they stand the test of time. the goonies is one of those truly magical films that appeals to children today just as it appealed to their parents when they were children. in an era of remakes and reboots, the goonies remains an untouchable classic that should be appreciated as is, especially considering it’s a film with a heartwarming story within a heartwarming story, as donner revealed to us .
“players can use sloth’s super strength to smash through walls or play as chunk and use his infamous truffle shuffle. the rebuildable one - eyed willy’s pirate ship will sail on water and can also be built into the fanged fortune and the inferno cannon; while the rebuildable skeleton organ has sonar smash abilities and can also be built into the skeleton jukebox and skele - turkey for added game play capabilities. sloth provides access to a new the goonies battle arena, and also the adventure world where players can explore mikey’s house, inferno cove and the goon docks. once the level is complete, players will be able to replay through the game and other levels as any of the seven other goonies characters to solve additional puzzles and access more collectibles in their journey through the lego multiverse. ”

the overwhelming majority of goonies fans are “lovely, friendly, warm people, ” he said. “but there are a few who are really abusive, and several have refused to leave the property when asked to. they’ve offered to fight the homeowner. and those kinds of things are the things that make it really impossible for them. ”
the pirate ship that looms large in the goonies is called the inferno. as big as a real seaworthy vessel, it was modeled after the ship in the classic errol flynn swashbuckler the sea hawk. the inferno was more than 100 feet long, with sails made up of more than 7, 000 square feet of fabric. some of the riggings were recycled from disneyland' s pirates of the caribbean ride, which was being remodeled at the time the goonies was in production. it took two - and - a - half months to construct the inferno, so the hype about what it would look like was a feverish discussion topic on set. director richard donner made sure that none of the main cast saw the ship until the exact moment their characters did—he wanted the reactions of excitement and awe he filmed to be genuine. josh brolin (brand) was indeed impressed—when he saw the inferno for the first time, he broke character and said ,
holy s— !
the take was ruined, and another not - quite - authentic reaction shot was filmed .
thanks to the av club for bringing this to our attention. considering all the love for pinball there was in the 80s, not to mention the fact that plenty of unworthy movies have been given their own pinball machines, it’s odd that there was never an official pinball machine made to honor the goonies. even tron legacy got a new pinball machine a few years ago .
other fans waiting outside the armory thursday showed off their character costumes, including milo sidlo, who was dressed up as the character data carrying a jar with the message: “save the goon docks. ” kevin kelley, who runs a theater in orlando, fla. , showed off “the goonies” movie cover, which was tattooed on his forearm and printed on his custom converse sneakers.
