Here's a super obscure bonus fact about The Goonies that I have observed ... If you go back and watch Spielberg's original Jurassic Park and pay particular attention to the crooked lab worker Nedry you will see that during each of his scenes he is essentially cosplaying some of The Goonies.... Early on he sports a Hawaiian attire resembling the shirt Chunk wears in the truffle shuffle scene. Later on when Nedry is sneaking around the lab he has a grey jacket and shirt combo that ressembles the outift Mouth is wearing in Mikey's house at the beginning of The Goonies. The 3rd instance I noticed was when Nedry is fleeing (just before he gets maimed by little dinosaurs) he is wearing a 3 part combo of a T-Shirt under a slightly open heavy blue shirt and topped off with an olskool yellow rain coat just like the combo Mikey is wearing as they approach the Fratelli hideout... Once you see these things in Jurassic Park with The Goonies in mind it seems pretty blatant that Spielberg was doing it on purpose ... Check it out!!

Absolutely LOVE Goonies!! Its a comfort to me. You can "feel" the 80's when you watch. The friendship between the kids is awesome, it takes place in the fall, my favorite season, and the fact that Cyndi Lauper sings the amazing theme song tops it off. ☠️☠️☠️

The friend chemistry between all the kids is so perfect. They all seem like they've known eachother all their lives. My 9 year old just watched this movie and she loved it. (I was also 9 when I first saw it in the theater)

My friend and I asked my dad to rent the Goonies for us on VHS back in the day. He thought we wanted The Ghoulies. It wasn't quite the same 🤣

I was four years old and lived one block up the street, on 38th St, from where they filmed the Goonies house. I don't remember seeing the actors but I remember seeing the crew and all the film equipment. I remember how my dad said that he witnessed Spielberg doing most of the directing. I am almost 42 years old and now. I teach Screenwriting to college students in Kansas. I believe The Goonies and Kindergarten Cop (same town and my childhood school) led me into a life of teaching film.

This movie truly captured the feeling of childhood adventure and exploration. This is how I wanted my childhood to be, minus the adults trying to kill me. I used to explore all over my area growing up and as a military brat, we moved a lot.

Totally agreed that Chunk's actor has always seemed like he should have stayed in show business as he was phenomenal. Fortunately it seems like he has done fine for himself anyway

Born 76 and being an 80s kid.... this one I can defiantly relate too :)

I was 13 when Goonies came out and my dad took me and my best friend to see it. We're still best friends to this day and we will always consider ourselves Goonies. And we had many cool adventures throughout our lives and now we're sharing them and the love for the Goonies with our children. I'm so happy I grew up in the 70's and 80's. What a cool time of history. ...

I was born and grew up in the 80’s and I have to say it is definitely one of my favorite movies. I still watch it today.

Two things: 1) this movie makes me happy still, and I’m 43 years old. 2) I use tea to soak my maps on for our Dungeons & Dragons game to make it look old, but no blood!

I’m excited Minty is doing another 10 things about the Goonies! This was a great film to have growing up because I’ve always enjoyed adventures and the Goonies spoke to me! Also, if you’re ever in Astoria visiting the Goonies filming locations, visit the Fort George brewpub. They’re awesome, brew create and tasty beers, and have a good vibe to the place. I’m not paid to promote them, I’ve just enjoy it.

This movie will always be in my top 5 favorite of all time. It captured the adventure and longing of youth in a way not really many other movies could. The pure heart looking to find treasure but to help others. The kids talk sloppily and in an imperfect way in this film often and it really makes it feel more like kids on an awesome adventure than just actors on stages. I love this movie on dark, rainy days when I don't have to work. I'd go so far as calling this movie golden. You can't recreate this vibe no matter how hard you try.

Battling dyslexia all the way up to high school, I relate to this so hard! Thank you Minty, for sharing this and giving me another reason to love Goonies, (and your channel!-) even more than before!

Thanks for the link on the deleted scenes. The Goonies, Dirty Dancing and Big trouble in little china are literally my childhood. Keep up the great work from down under 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Watching an Aussie cousin explain Wogan to a global audience. What a time to be alive.

I'm one of those old farts who grew up watching The Goonies. It came out when I was 12, but I wasn't allowed to see it, my parents never took us to the movies, but as soon as it came out on VHS I watched it and fell in love with it. I must admit to having a teen crush on Andy as well. It was a bad time in my life being bullied at home and school, and The Goonies took me to a place I wanted to go. I wanted to be a Goonie. Still now I enjoy watching it, and add it to my list of regular rotation 80s movies, which includes Ghostbusters, Flight of the Navigator, Neverending Story, BTTF, The Princess Bride, and Labyrinth.

Ref: fact 3 - Michael J Fox had his interview one week after Jeff Cohen's hilarious appearance (I actually saw it live on tv). When Wogan mentioned Jeff had been on show, Michael immediately says "Did he bring his hats?!" First goal to Michael!

You know what's even more amazing and what makes this movie even better? The amount this movie made usually sparks sequel after sequel to try to cash in more. That never happened with this one. It stands unique and alone.

Young Sherlock Holmes is an awesome movie. I will never forget the stained glass knight.

It amazes me how timeless this movie is when I pop it in for the kids today. I have all the questions and conversations about it for a couple of weeks after they see it. Wonderfully, I have your videos to recommend to the kids. That leads to a whole new set of questions, but that just adds to the fun.

I'm one of those middle aged people that grew up watching The Goonies....I was 11 when it came out and I remember watching it in the theater and LOVING IT !!! Of course I still watch it now along with all the other classics from the 80's....imo the 80's was the BEST decade to grow up in !!!

It's one of my comfort movies. I can never get bored of watching it. A timeless classic.

Simply the greatest live action kids film ever made. Watching my 5 and 9 year old daughters faces when they first see the pirate ship was wonderful.

I normally HATE kids being "precocious" and generally just trying hard to be funny. It usually irritates the hell out of me, but that Terry Wogan interview with the "Chunk" kid is exceptional. That kid seems like he actually has something. Wonder why he never came to anything in Hollywood terms?🤷‍♂️ Note: Just checked Wikipedia. He appears to have become a successful entertainment lawyer so, you know, good for him! Also Goonies director Richard Donner offered to pay for his college education. It doesn't say whether that happened but it says he offered.

Have you read Corey Feldman's autobiography? if not you should. It has a a couple chapters about the goonies

It hit me like lightning when you mentioned, “nearly forty years later”. I vividly remember being 8 and seeing it with my Dad, and him laughing his ass off when Chunk did The Truffle Shuffle. 😆😆😆

I love The Goonies and I love Steven Spielberg. I have autism and his films are very inspirational to make me to become a filmmaker

Hey minty. I honestly like that you're revisiting old videos and giving us even more facts. Definitely keep it up 👍🏻

Data was my favorite character in the movie. It's a shame the Octopus scene wasn't in the film properly.

It makes me feel OG that I got to see this movie in the theater at 7 years old and then my mom bought the VHS tape when it was released. This movie had heavy impact on my youth.

The Goonies is one of my all time favourite films. Truly magnificent fun adventure and great music and acting to. Also very memorable music that even today when hearing it takes me back to when I first watched The Goonies in the mid-1980s. Terry Wogan - referenced in this video of Minty's 10 More Things.. was wonderfully charming and fun, he never put down his guests in any nasty ways but he did poke fun at them. I had the pleasure in the latter 1980s to go to see Live with my school mates and teacher, to be part of the audience see Wogan [the chat show] being recorded at the BBC Television Centre White City in London. I particularly remember one occasion my school mate and I were looking through the doors of the Infamous BBC Canteen [as we were waiting outside the Television Studio]... and willing newsreader Michael Beurk to take a donut to buy then eat. He did much to our delight. Then we were aware alongside us of a gentleman with a twinkle in his eye and it was Terry Wogan and he was interested which school we were from & said to us, "I hope you enjoy my show, you are very welcome" then he went in to the Studio and we then took our seats with the rest of the audience...

84-85 seemed so much simpler and promising! This movie takes me back to these times, when out of date houses were from the 50's and 60's and time moved slower (so it seemed) and the world was just looking at the beginning of the digital age.

Congratulations on 400K subscribers Minty! You are the best!

Minty, thank you for that info about Spielberg and the learning disability. As someone who is autistic, not only can I relate, but more so now, as I’m trying my hand at independent film making currently. It’s been a big help. This inspired me to keep on going down this route.

Every kid from the 80s loves the goonies

Absolutely dig your channel and been watching for over two years now. I like the "even more" episodes that you post

The Goonies will always be a favorite of mine. It inspired me to write my own back story to One-Eyed Willy, which I really wanna visualize in some way in the future. I see it as a 3-parter movie story; Part 1 introduces Willy and shows his transitions into a pirate and how he became captain to the Inferno, Part 2 shows him stealing the treasure and trying to fight off the armada til he gets trapped in the cave, Part 3 shows him and the crew setting up the caves and traps all the while Willy goes insane. I have a lot more details about side characters, plot points, how certain things lead up to how something appears in The Goonies, etc. Although I don’t wanna spend all day typing it out here.

I hold that the goonies is one of the greatest movies ever made. And let's be honest that Interview would have gone viral these days and made that kid a comedic star.

I spent an insane amount of time over the years playing the Goonies video game on my Atari computers. I never beat it as a kid, but then got my Atari out in like 2002 with a walkthrough and beat it just so I could finally say I had, haha. Good stuff.

That interview is so cute, I love the Goonies! Great job Minty! Congratulations on 400,000 subscribers! So many awesome memories:)

One of my fav movies! Love being an 80s bsby lol.

didn't know you got Art Attack Down Under. also, Young Sherlock Holmes is pretty notable for one scene, the one where a knight from a stained glassed window seems to come to life and leap from the window. an effect like this had never been seen before in a movie and it's remarkable how well it's held up

I have a learning disability myself & makes me appreciate this movie even more. I have loved this movie since I was a kid.

Chunk's life story in the goonies is one of the funniest things i have ever seen in a movie.great memories.

The Atari game was actually pretty fun and it's challenging as well. I still play it from time to time on the Commodore 64.

My siblings and I had the original board game! I'd completely forgotten until watching this video. Thank you so much for including it, it really brought back a piece of my childhood.

Minty, I am absolutely loving the 10 more things videos 🥰 You're awesome 💜

My kids still watch this one. They love it. and so do I. I remember carrying a marble bag, because of this movie. You never know when you might need a marble bag.

I remember watching this movie in the theaters when I was a kid and absolutely loved it. I showed it to my kids when they were young; they loved it, and we were actually able to make a trip down to see the house before it was closed to the public several years ago. I can not wait to share this movie with my grandchildren. It is a timeless classic.

The movie has everything a movie needs to be good. From the actors to the soundtrack. PERFECTION.

I have to say you have such great content. Found myself binge watching almost qll your content as of recent. Well researched,very humorous and just all around fun!! Looking forward to more.

One of my favorite movies, I saw it in the theater when I was a kid. What a awesome time to be a kid!

The Goonies is a childhood favourite of mine, my 7 year old self absolutely loved it...and i still do. I remember seeing The Goonies advert with the other Movie titles making up the name of the film. I had completely forgotten about that until i watched it again in this video, then forgotten memory resurfaced in my mind. Thanks Minty.

Still know a lot of the lines by heart. Never knew about the learning disability. I appreciate that, I also have a learning disability. Growing up and learning different techniques to learn things, has made me a stronger adult. I also can understand and be patient with others. Growing up was the difficult time. I praise the teachers and all who help children through this time.

I love that you're going back and doing 10 more on some of our favorite movies and best ones that you've done so far because having a total list of 20 is awesome I also think it's cool that you're adding at the end is coming the videos of movies that you're a particular fan of your collection cuz I think that's one video series I watch a lot of its people who show off their collectibles of whether it's movie memorabilia or comic books just anything awesome like that I also like that a lot of your facts are things I've ever heard before or a better take on something I heard and it dies a little deeper if I see one more top 10 list regurgitating the same crap over again I think I'm going to scream but when I watch yours it's inevitable that some will overlap but 80% of your list I'm learning stuff for the first time

And Keri Green in a miniskirt. I had the biggest crush on her back in the day!

Used to watch this movie everyday when I was like 4 to 6 years old. One of my all time favorites so many great memories. Used to sit in our clothes basket and act like it was the inferno and I had found one eye Willy’s treasure when I was watching it. Chunk and Data were my favorites. This movie should never be remade because they would just ruin with all the cg.

I enjoy the goonies but the one thing that has stayed with me even since I was a little kid is that they yell so much… even as an adult my brain gets overwhelmed sometimes lol. It’s realistic for sure! They need a 7.2 channel mix where each kids gets his own channel when they talk lol

@Minty, a 10 things u didn't know about Close Encounters would be great! I absolutely love that movie & being another Spielberg movie with fantastic scenes esp with the UFO's & Grey's

What a wonderful video, I loved the Goonies as a kid, and now my 9 and 10 year old boys also love watching this absolutely awesome 1980's classic. Has to be one of the most timeless movies ever. ♥️

The commentary from the special edition DVD is basically the only one of its kind, or at least the only one of its kind that I have caught. Even other films with ensemble casts don't include commentaries like that one, with a camera lens focusing intermittently on the cast and director. It was so touching in the summer of 2021 for me to catch an interview clip of Robert Davi (Jake Fertelli) ommenting on how oh life has imitated art in the time since the Goonies was new. He says that there have been instances where children have had to come through for their parents and bring home the bacon the same way that the Goonies did during their treasure hunt. Richard Donner is missed.

The thing is I never realized how beloved the Goonies was until the age of the internet. To me it was nothing really special as my parents seemed to let us watch more adult films. I also felt the same way about The Princess Bride.

Great job on the goonies! One of my favorite movies from the 80's. Reminds me of my childhood and how fun movies can be. It was a much simpler time. Keep em comin!!!!

Cool Video again Minty. Never knew of these cut scenes or the dynamic between Richard Donner and the Kids and Richard Donner with Steven Spielberg. I'm an 80s kid so I love this video.

A rare occasion in my childhood. Staying overnight at an aunt house. She recommend I watch this movie so I did. It was the most amazing thing I've ever saw up to that point in my life.😁

The Goonies is one of my absolute favourite movies. I'm actually glad that the octopus scene was cut because it didn't really seem to fit in with the rest of the movie. I'm lucky enough to have the Goonies game on my Commodore 64 as well as the two Goonies games on the NES. Goonies II is such a great game despite the weird mermaid story. 😃

One of my all time favorite movies. I was 11 and saw it 5 times in the theatre the summer it came out. I had a magazine about the making of the movie (I think I still have it), I had the board game... I was obsessed with that movie summer of 1985. I still pretty much know the whole movie by heart and if I come across it while flipping TV channels, I'll stop and watch (even if it's the last 15 minutes),

Goonies never say die!

Oh yeah, more facts about another classic film, I wondered what other film that has more facts, cool video as always Minty, keep up the good work, take care & you have a great weekend

Fantastic video as always. That interview with the Chunk actor is amazing! The Goonies is one of my childhood favourites

Instantly clickable content! Thanks Minty

Mark regardless of what your disability is you do a bloody good job of making these videos and long may you continue to do so.

Always brings a smile to my face. Getting old sucks 😔.

I was 5 yrs old when this movie came out. I still will put this movie on. It does take me back. I even wear a Goonies pin I my hat that I recently found at a store and bought.

Great video Minty. I'm.47, I saw The Goonies at the cinema in 1985 aged 10 and loved it. Just the best times to grow up in the 80's

I enjoy watching your videos with my breakfast. Very underrated channel. Keep up the fantastic work

The way that mouth treated Rosalina I’m surprised that she just did not take the bag and run lol but great video!:)

Saw it with my summer camp group in 1985 it's one of my favorite memories...it's still awesome 👌🏽👏🏾😎

Damn... that Art Attack sweater is sure a piece of pop culture...

You've been so amazing to capture 80s /90s spirit in covering these classic movies!!! You have so done an amazing jobs to help us tap into our nostalgic side. BUT your like me!!!!.... Your brought up in the UK and also Australia..... And we both know that independent children and family television industry was dominated by the independent aussie and British companies.... I understand your audience is mainly American But would u consider doing one of minties nostalgia TV past on British /Australian childrens.show..... I reckon it was a massive industry that perhaps the Americans don't know about..... But for use it was amazing xxxx

I'm 40, and this is still my favorite movie of all time! Love love love it!

Classic. I made a trip out to Astoria last summer with my family to visit this house and other Goonies-related sites (and the Kindergarten Cop school just a block up the road). Bucket list items for sure.

Great job Minty these movies are so nostalgic keep up the great work. KEEP STAYING PAWZITIVE BRO 👍

A true comedic 80s classic,was and is still sequel worthy.

The commentary track from the Goonies DVD is probably the most unique of its kind. There have been commentaries where there was a camera lens on the contributors at the beginning or the end. This one is the only one where there is a constant camera feed on the performers and director; it switches back-and-forth between the film itself and the camera feet where the film becomes a thumbnail in the bottom left-hand corner of the screen. The Goonies cast and Richard Donner did that in the summer of 2001. I first saw it five years later. As of March 2024, it hasn’t gotten old for me. Richard Donner may be gone, but he won’t be forgotten.

Constantly watched this film as a kid 🤟🤟

Congrats on 400,000 subscribers Minty! I’m so happy for you! 😁

Absolutely love The Goonies it's one of my favorite movies of all time I always wish they would have made a sequel back then I've heard rumors of one for years but I have a feeling if they did one today it would just be good as the first usually sequels or not especially nowadays

My sons grew up with this movie. I loved it, watched it several times, and would still watch it, given the opportunity.

This is our 1st comment on this channel, but we would have to say it's one of the best Movie Commentary on KZfaq! Congratts on your 400k SUBS been watching you from the beginning!

I've seen probably every video you've done on KZfaq. This was one of the best. It's clear you're a fan, and I just wanted to thank you for making this !

I still watch this and see it as I did as a kid 🖤🤘😍

Fun Fact: Keith A. Walker who played Irvin Walker, the father of Mikey & Brand in *"THE GOONIES",* later wrote the original script for *"FREE WILLY"* (1993), which also had Richard Donner (who directed *"THE GOONIES")* as one of the executive producers for the film, the animated series and the two sequels. After he passed away in late 1996, *"FREE WILLY 3: The Rescue"* (which was released in the next year) added a dedication to his memory during the end credits.

I love Goonies . Thanks Minty

The actor who played Chunk went on to be a lawyer. Crazy

Been binge watching all these.. brings back memories I'm a child of the 80s

10 things you didn’t know about one of the most awesome action movies ever made, Hard Boiled

Great call doing this one Minty!! I love the Goonies, keep up the great work man!!

Oh yeah what a classic. Wouldn't be here without it.
