To me, The Goonies will forever be the ultimate "kids' movie". It had EVERYTHING; comedy, action, romance, horror. Perfect.

Another cool thing about the relationships formed in this movie. Jeff Cohen (Chunk) became an entertainment lawyer and he negotiated the deal for Ke Huy Quan's mega-return to acting in Everything, Everywhere, All at Once.

I absolutely love that his Goonies family was so happy for Que Huy Quan winning an oscar. and I love that he actually said "Goonies never say die" in his acceptance speech

The director wanted to keep the pirate ship totaly secret from the kids, none of them had seen it at all prior to filming so when you see them see it in person those are genuine reactions to it.

Fun fact, is that Ke Huy-Quan (Data) had promised his mother he wouldn't swear, so that's why in the first booby trap scene, it called for him to swear, but he spells it out 'Holy S-H-I-T!' instead to split the difference. Was great :) If you think about it, many of his gadgets are anti-bully. Bully Blinders, the Slick Shoes (for getting away), the boxing glove for someone that grabs him.

For those of us of a certain age, that Cyndi Lauper theme song will always be one of the best songs ever.

Truly a Gen-X type of kid's movie. I appreciate this film far more in retrospect than I did at the time, and the cast was truly phenomenal.

As a 41 year old man, watching your reactions made me enjoy this movie as a kid again. Keep up the great work, guys.!

I thought it was so sweet that Ke said "Goonies never say die." in his acceptance speech at the Oscars. His showbiz attorney is the guy who played Chunk. All of the guys and Martha sent video messages to congratulate him as well as Harrison Ford being the presenter for best motion picture and it was amazing.

I think the reason you teared up is because its so rare to see expressions of TRUE love, love because, without conditions, and, Jeff Cohen delivered that scene so very perfect and conveyed exactly that kind of compassion and love the world needs to see more of.

The actor who plays CHUNK is now Ke Huy’s Entertainment Lawyer! I love they’re still pals.

HEY YOU GUYS!

YES!! One of the funniest adventure movies ever made! RIP to those that were involved in the project: Richard Donner, Director John Matuzak, Sloth Anne Ramsay, Ma Fratelli Mary Ellen Trainor, Irene Walsh Lupe Ontiveros, Rosalita. There were talks of a Sequel but it was cancelled as the actors have moved to to other projects.

I loved this movie as a kid and watched it many times. I introduced my kids to this movie when they were old enough and got to enjoy it again and again as an adult! Its just a good fun adventure. Fun to see Sam wise and thanos as kids😅

Every time I see someone do a reaction to _The Goonies,_ I have to post this. When Sloth yells, “Hey, you guys!” he’s quoting the opening of The Electric Company, a 1970s educational program that was basically an answer to the question, “How do we get the attention of kids who’ve decided they’re too old for Sesame Street?” Opening theme: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m7JmqpiTt82-oGQ.html

This is my #1 favorite movie ever. I've seen it at least 100 times without exaggeration. This was a great reaction, thank you.

I love that the kids names are Mouth, Chunk, Data, and ... Mikey.

This is the ultimate movie not just for kids. 46 years old and I still watch this thing at least three or four times a year. There has never been nor will there ever be a movie big enough to touch the greatness of Goonies

Brolin tells the story of breaking in to the audition for Goonies. It was his first job. He had to hop a fence and sneak in. And he got the part and it set his career off. He loves talking about The Goonies. More than almost any other role it's his favorite film to have worked on.

I watched this when I was their age , it was long summers , long shadows , red skies , out playing .. just an awesome period and all my mates watched it . We were goonies on a housing estate in the Northwest of England

I gotta agree with Atlaf in this movie. I sincerely apologize if I spelled your name wrong. But I was in tears just like you many times during this film. It's so heartfelt at moments and being single again I've learned that emotions for myself are just as impactful as my emotions for other people. Keep making awesome stuff and I'll be here every time to watch you guys! Major love from California! Stay nice Dudes!

The older teen with the glasses is Martha Plimpton, who's been in s number of 80s movies and played the mom in the sitcom Raising Hope from 2010 to 2014.

Me and my siblings are such huge fans of this movie and I have even visited the film museum that is now located in the jail in Astoria, Oregon. It was such an amazing experience and this movie to me is timeless, in every aspect

So glad you guys enjoyed this! I've heard many people say that this movie doesn't hold up if you didn't see it back in the day, as a child. But whenever I re-watch this movie, I think it holds up wonderfully, and I don't see how they can believe that. I love it so much. Also, Ke Huy Quan is such a legend. tbf everyone is great in this film though.

"Hey you guys!" and "Sloth Love Chunk!" are the best lines in the whole film

one of the best movies ever made, just pure entertainment.

The Goonies, Monster Squad, and Short Circuit. 3 of the best movies from my child hood that I've seen at least 100 times each.

See, I like watching these videos. They both are clearly movie buffs, pick up on actor and director quirks, and really touch down on a lot of stuff in movies, even doing a great job with subtitling and focusing on subtle things in these movies. Other people just do 12 minute videos and load it up with memes and poorly cropped images, skipping over MAJOR things in the movies.

“Theres some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and thats worth fighting for, because Goonies Never Say Die!"

Let me just say how much I love your channel, input, and banter. It sucks to never be able to watch a movie again for the first time, but it’s just as great to watch a couple people with the same awe and excitement experience it too!

Another fun fact: the pirate ship was a real ship built for the movie, and the reaction of the kids when they turned around was genuine, having not seen it before or aware of its existence.

I had never noticed how Chunk's clumsiness always had a lucky dimension to it. When you pointed it out, it made me think of Hurley, in Lost, who feels like the most unfortunate guy in the world while being also extremely lucky all the time.

The famous director developed the story for the first Goonies movie and it was produced by his company, Amblin Entertainment. And Sean Astin later claimed that Spielberg was involved with the film so much that he was basically a co-director alongside Richard Donner.Jan 12, 2023

the actor who played Chunk was made Home Coming King by promising to do the truffle shuffle at football games. He is now a Hollywood lawyer. He is Ke Huy Quan's lawyer for contract negotiations and such.

It's such a good film, with an emotional edge to it. For me Mikey is the emotional heart of the movie and Sean Astin does give a good speech.

So glad to see y'all finally watch this and letting us re-experience it with you! May I suggest other classic 80's kids films such as "Flight of the Navigator" or "Explorers" (the latter of which features a very young Ethan Hawke and River Phoenix).

Man this film takes me back. It makes me so happy that you guys reacted to this. HEY YOU GUYS!!!

I always felt that Kerri Green was really good in this movie, hitting the emotions perfectly. It's a shame she never really achieved stardom, but I really only saw her in this and Blue Flame.

Fun fact: Chunk (Jeff Cohen who now runs a law firm) negotiated the deal for Data (Ke Huy Quan) for his casting in Everything Everywhere All At Once (2022). Quan publicly thanked Cohen during his acceptance speech

Astoria is absolutely beautiful. Its right on the oregon coast. Perfect location to film a movie about discovery, i feel the same sense of adventure every time i visit.

I didn't watch The Goonies until I was an adult with kids of my own. My own kids love this movie. Such a classic!

I loved that the one that played Chunk was at the Oscars with Ke Huy Quan.

Fun fact, the movie did have a sequel. The Goonies II, exclusive to the Nintendo NES

Having a mom that grew up in the 80’s clued me into so many great movies growing up. Goonies rules

The Goonies by far is one of my most favorite movies. I can't wait to show it to my daughter when she's a little bit older and the smiles and the fun you guys had watching it gave me a big smile. Thanks!

I'm 66 years old. I grew up with these movies. Watching you guys react with the same awe and emotions I went through watching this movie was totally inspiring. You've earned a sub. Keep it up guys.

I love that they made Mikey and Brand actual loving brothers.

There are a handful of films from my childhood in the 80s that I love JUST AS MUCH now as I did way back then. This one is definitely one of them.

"you are my greatest invention" will forever be one of my favorite lines ever

This movie has a very D&D campaign feel

Love Goonies. I would not be exaggerating if I said I’ve seen it a hundred times. I think it has a very underrated score too. It was done by academy award and multiple Grammy award winning composer David Grusin.

hey you guys

One of my absolute favorite movies as a kid. It really embodied all the treasure hunting adventures that filled my daydreams as a child.

The actor who portrayed “Chunk” is severely underrated. Especially as a kid actor. He takes you on a whole roller coaster. Jeff Cohen, props to you.

Great reaction! One of the absolute best all-ages adventure movies ever made. Full stop, no argument. This is a movie anyone can watch and enjoy if they're kids or at least remember the excitement of adventures as a kid. The cast was brilliant, the story was brilliant, and the whole thing was brilliant. It still makes me sad that they built this entire ship for the movie, and when it was over they tried to find a home for it, tried to give it away, but no takers. It was busted up for scrap. Seriously sad. But I loved that they hid it from the kids (excluding Feldman who I think stumbled into seeing it early) until they shot the scene so that was their real reactions to it. I'd have been impressed as heck too to see that towering over me. 😲 The late John Matuszak, former NFL defensive lineman, played the role of Sloth and had fun with it. He died before he was 40, which is a shame, but he had both health and substance issues which contributed to that early end. Joey Pants and Robert Davi played great roles as the brothers in the movie. Anne Ramsay was great as Mama Fratelli too. In the scenes where Mama whacks Jake, she was directed to actually hit Robert Davi as hard as she could for realism. 😀 And I was always impressed by Jake's singing voice, which I figured was dubbed in, but I found out later that Davi had actually been classically trained for opera singing. It also amused me when I learned that the woman who plays Rosalita, and who is American born and fluent in both English and Spanish, helped Corey Feldman learn how to say the properly lines where he's leading her around the house, "translating" for her. She was also amazing and perfect in her role. I just love watching her react to the events in the crazy house. 😀

This is legit one of my favorite movies. I grew up with it and it is always a treat to watch. I'm so glad to see you guys react to it, and that you liked it so much.

Absolutely perfect cast for a perfect movie. This is what defines the 80s. Maybe we made it too perfect and that is why nothing else can meet such high standards these days. Either way, glad you guys watched this and glad you enjoyed it! Next up, Revenge of the Nerds.

Something about old-school treasure scenes felt so REAL, Idk what it is, but it felt amazing to watch!

This film has inspired references/easter eggs in so many other films/shows since: Jurassic Park, Stranger Things & Deadpool 2 just off the top of my head. There's a brilliant BTS/deleted scenes video on here (channel is "Hats off Entertainment") that's well worth a watch too, with a whole sub-plot involving gorillas escaping from the Zoo & the Octopus is explained.

This was such an inconic movie for us Gen X 80s kids, we all wanted to be Goonies and go on these adventures. My friends and I used to explore all the storm drain pipes around our neighborhoods. (Don't do that kids, it's dangerous) Also I had such a crush on Stef

I love this movie, I have for decades. But I still to this day, hate hate hate that they all sit and watch a ship full of god damn treasure float away.

What an amazing choice of movie, I was actually laughing at your reactions. LOVE thsi moive. They really dont make them like this anymore! -Thanks for that reaction, it made my day!

I watched this in theaters as a kid. One of my earliest memories.

This is my number one movie of all time with The fifth element in close second. No matter what is happening in the world this movie will make me forget everything and relax while watching.

This was one of my dad's favorite movies, we used to watch it all the time when I was a kid.

So here’s something cool, the house in this movie was getting renovated by my Great uncle and was approached by some Hollywood peeps to be used in a movie, this movie. Since they borrowed use of that house we got to keep some props they used like several of the statue that got it’s… well… dong broken off my Great aunt still has them around somewhere. Oh also my dad told me that the hand holding the coin at 8:48 also was my uncles hand, I guess they thought his grubby beat up hand looked the part!

There should be a Goonies drinking game: take a drink every time someone mispronounces a word, every time chunk breaks something (twice if he was deliberately set up to do so by another character), every time we hear Data's theme music.

If you guys haven't watched it yet, I recommend Monster Squad! ^^ It's like if The Goonies had a Halloween sequel. Either way, I'm super psyched you guys watched this. Loved this movie since I was a kid (born in '85). Cheers, mateys!

This movies like another of my Favorite movies as a Kid "Monster Squad"

Never gets old however many times I watch it. Thanks.

According to Sean Astin, Spielberg was involved with this film so much that he was basically a co-director. American football player John Matuszak was Sloth.

"Chester Copperpot was alone, these guys have Data" would make an excellent tagline for this movie xD

despite being 16 now, The Goonies was like a childhood movie for me in around 2012

Near the start, "why bother peddling then?" There were bicycles back then that didn't have free spinning peddle shafts, so the peddle crank shaft was connected to the rear wheel via the chain... and the faster you can peddle the faster the rear wheel spun... same way backwards, the faster the rear wheel spun the faster the peddle shaft was forced to spin.. this is why dude was peddling when the car sped up, not that he wanted to, but because he couldn't move his feet off the peddles at the time

the villans in this movie remind me of the beagle;e boys from Ducktales

Saw this in the theatre last year. It was a treat to watch it with others. One guy was busting a gut with sloth and chunck saying "hey you guys."

The Goldbergs did a great Goonies tribute episode and their costume designer found the actual Chunk shirt in the studio's inventory and it is in the show. It was actually a woman's blouse.

So many lines from this that me and my brother and friends have been quoting for over 30 years now. When someone says the wrong word you'd reply with "that's what I said I'm setting booby traps." Someone has to pee " hey Mikey gotta go to the bathroom" And of course "hey you guys" was the most used out of all of them.

i luv watching these vids with youguys. awesome 😁

Down here, it's our time. It's OUR TIME DOWN HERE!

You can definitely tell that they are genuinely friends. Even to this day. Chunk is now an entertainment lawyer that represents Ke Huy-Quan. And when Ke won they all made videos congratulating him.

Throwin' in my 2 cents here about my history with this movie. I was born in 1998, and the first time I watched The Goonies was when I was about 5 - 7 years old, so in a way, I found out about this movie "after it's prime". It's all thanks to my Mom for putting this on and watching it with me one night back when I was that young, and I have loved this movie ever since, I still have the original dvd with me to this day. I am 24 now, and will be 25 in August, and I still love putting on this movie if I either want to watch something, or just want some good background noise.

So, here’s some trivia (behind the scenes) stuff about the movie. Scenes with the house, the county jail, and the house with Sean Austin’s “father”in front of it are located in a town in Oregon (I forgot what city, but they’re all located in the same town). The county jail is a movie history museum of the town, where they name what movies have been filmed there as well as props from those movies. Up till maybe 5/6 + years ago, you could walk up the the houses in the boondocks and take pictures. The jail and the house where we see Sean Austin’s father are actually located across the street from each other. And the house is actually another museum. Anyway, sorry for spewing out all this info, but I find some of the behind the scene stuff interesting. Thanks.

The extended edition is wild. They fight a giant practical effects octopus in the cave!

It is my number 1 Movie of all time. I went to the Movie theatre on my Birthday 3 times in a row. I was 12 at that time. I am 50 now and it is still my Favoirit movie. Ich have a big Goonies Collection. Figures with original signed.

From the first time seeing this movie as a kid till now it has been one of my favorite movies. I have to admit I was afraid of Sloth the first time I watched it. I thought the actor really looked like that till I found out it was, John Matuszak, who’s been in lots of movies as well as played in the NFL.

Excellent movie. And, yes, we were a lot more feral and independent as kids in the 80's. During the summer, we'd be off on our bikes at the crack of dawn, and as long as we were home by dinner time or the street lights came on, we were good. Our parents had little to no idea where we went or what we got up to. Including roaming drainage tunnels and wooded areas.

Loved the goonies it will forever b a classic. I love the fact u both laughed all the way through the movie . Great reaction

Can confirm, as a kid in the 80s we all spoke like this. Constant swearing and talking over each other.

This movie is an absolute timeless classic.

No idea Sean was in this! He's such an amazing actor!

Still makes me emotional. Great core memory.

A GREAT kid‘s adventure movie! The pirate ship „The Inferno“ was built using the design from the 1940 Errol Flynn movie „The Sea Hawk“. The ship was certified sea worthy by the US Coast Guard and could have been sailed. The ship was destroyed after filming as no one wanted to claim the vessel. I remember seeing an ad in a Spokane newspaper in 1989 or 90 which had the ship up for sale. Guess there were no takers as the ship was 105ft long and would have needed a large crew to man her. But what a sight she would have been…… Cheers

The mom criminal was in the hilarious movie Throw Momma From the Train with Billy Crystal and Danny DeVito.

It's a fantastic movie! And you're right about the danger. Today's movies are so sanitized. Everyone's so afraid to scare the children or that parents will get upset. But we survived without trauma. Heck, some of Disney's best classics are some of the scariest kids movies around! I'm glad you enjoyed this one. Check out a Ringo Starr movie from the early 80's called Caveman. It's very weird and fun!

The Goonies has never lost its magic.

As someone who grew up on a lot of the movies you've reviewed, it's nice to see your reactions.

The Goonies is one of the few films that me and both my younger siblings all agree on and would watch together as a family, over and over.... and over.... and over...

Great reactions guys, been waiting for this for a long time!

Goonies, Gremlins, young Sherlock Holmes, the best way to celebrate Columbus Day.
