I’m only a few years younger than you, but I love and remember those as well (older siblings took me and my fraternal twin brother to a lot of movies with them).

Don't forget Indiana Jones movies was great

You got that right!

@@RANS87IROCZ The first two were great.

Explorers was one of my favorites too.

A kid in my class, a notorious bull shitter, said he saw a version with the octopus in. No one believed him. Turned out he was right.

Well since they cut that part out they were indeed exaggerating

@@tylerdell1878 it was cut for the theatrical but I have a vhs copy from cable from when I was a kid where it was included in the edit. So the kid could’ve watched the same version as me.

I definitely watched the octopus scene on a version I torrented

@@jimjiminyjaroo300 hahaha same. My brothers and I rented the movie multiple times from our local video store and were discussing it one day with some friends who claimed their copy had the octopus. We of course thought they were pulling our leg until we watched it with them when we stayed at their house one weekend.

OH EM GEE.... you just blew my mind

Whoa! That scene is really important to the storyline. Good catch on that one 🤯

Yeah they really should have kept that scene in the final movie, bummer that we’re just now finding out a big missing peice of the plot 😢

Yea and I always wondered where the hell Chunk got the Baby Ruth from lol.

@@axe2grind244 I always thought that he just always had candy on him.

Ok thank you. I thought I remembered it too. Vivid memories about that scene.

@@TheMJCMike right? i thought my mind made up the octopus scene...this video helped my sanity a bit lol

I remember the octopus also. I've been called a liar about it in past.

Same here I knew it was real, for a while I started thinking......Mandela Effect

Me too! When I first saw it, I was like, I don’t remember this!

He comes to the Philadelphia/New Jersey area a lot for autograph shows. Doesn't surprise me he discovered Parx.

He's really good at Taekwondo.

I quote him almost daily. Booby traps, pinchers of power, or slick shoes always find a way of slipping into conversations with me.

Also was Short Round in Temple of Doom. “Hang on lady, we going for a ride!”

You call him doctor Jones, doll!

Data uses a Walkman with the cassette of the song to ward it off as it dances away.

The original name for the movie Help!

didn't relies this scene was cut, since i only watched VHS version once and watched TV version more often, TV version had the octopus scene

@@JoJoJoker As in The Beatles, Help! ? If so, that's really interesting.

That had a music video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e6ybhNF73dDGgX0.html

LOL - me too! But remember, the NES game was Goonies TWO! The game was the sequel we never got for the move. Love the Cyndi Lauper song.

It took me ages to find the soundtrack with the Cyndi Lauper song; I had to get a Japanese import in the end. This was in the early 1990s, long before the internet! Amazing song.

Goonies and tecnobowl

@@rlh9373 lets not forget wizard and warriors, probably the best theme song ever created with the limited range of Nintendo audio.

LoL you mentioned goonies on nes and I was like.. Is it possible I played it? I put it on KZfaq and I was like shit. I didn't even remember that I played it.. It refreshed 30 years old forgotten gameplay.. I did played that!!

Biden voters🤦‍♂️

Me too - always thought he was exaggerating with excitement!

Same. It was funny back then because i thought data was just talking trash. It’s funny now for…..other reasons and the internet has ruined me.

The giant Pacific octopus which is a real octopus grow to the same size like the giant octopus in the movie clip. Giant Pacific octopus range from Oregon and Washington state to all the way to Alaska.

please leave a baby ruth next to his grave for me

@@brodieroomojo I always thought it was baby root 😂

Yeah the film had enough bizarre things going on, it didn't need two gorillas hijacking vehicles.

Cutting the Octopus made sense, It looked pretty bad...Hell the octopus in Popeye looked better.

I'm cracking up thinking about the gorilla subplot but yea, it doesn't belong in this movie. Reminds also a bit of the end of The Incredible Shrinking Woman.

Right?! That looked so lame. Like a low budget local commercial from the 80’s.

What was Spielberg thinking?!🤣😂

"to steal another set' I think was the word, not 'pair'. That comment makes far more sense when you add in this knowledge.

"I knew he couldn't break them chains!"

“Jeeez, sir. Your even hungrier than I am.”

To be fair, I wouldn't necessarily consider that an editing mistake. Yes it's a reference to stuff that was cut from the film, but the audience can more easily rationalize that she was either speaking figuratively (given Sloth is treated like an animal) or was referring to events that took place before the movie started.

youll be giving that to me thanks

@@RichyJFilms That's no way to speak to a Naval Officer

Can I buy it?

As a collector myself and this being my favorite movie , that’s awesome :)

It’s a fantastic movie and I saw it in the theater as a kid as well . They honestly do not make movies like this anymore

This is one of those channels that I was one of the first couple hundred subscribers. It's weird seeing them grow so big.

Great content. Podcast too.

I was just thinking the exact same thing.

This channel is an Almost Cult Classic

weird have to thank TV version of the movie to see other cut scenes because of some scenes needed to be censored, I totally forgot store scene and octopus scene were in TV version, but not Theatrical version

Richard Donner: so this movie may be running a bit long, we're shooting a lot of stuff and some of it's not working Spielberg: dude I want this to be an epic three-hour treasure hunt movie, and I want gorillas driving sports cars, I must make the longest B-movie ever

@@simond7225 It's Like Poetry, They Rhyme

LOL

Sounds more like David Lynch than Spielberg.

I remember watching it too! My grandma recorded the movie for my mom and now watching it with my own kids I always feel like something is missing! I knew it was in there!!!

@@devinpainter8161 I feel bad that on another thread I told these people they were dead wrong and none of these scenes had ever appeared in the film. I am 49 and saw the original theatrical version so those scenes had been cut and in addition, you guys watching the censored TV version missed out on some scenes like the Spanish translation scenes between Rosalita and Mouth. But the truth is the original cut is the best because that's what the director intended whereas the version you guys saw is a compromised by censorship with all story pacing destroyed.

​@@donnswaby369I remember the rosalita scene being translated when I was a kid

I remember once seeing the scene with mouth reading the Spanish on the board before they broke through it to get up to the deck above them in the ship where they found Willie’s cabin and treasure. You can still see part of the scene as Mikey (I think) is raised up and punches through the wooden boards.

I remember the slick shoes scene - crazy the random stuff your mind decides to keep.

@@zalcal8256 isnt the shoe scene in all versions of it?

@@JonnyChaos not sure to be honest

@@db-wo9hi This scene has bothered me for decades. I remember seeing it as a kid and haven't seen it since. I have searched but am not able to find a version where its still included.

Yeah why no mention of the battery scene??? It's in the script, and the girls have orgasms from it... no wonder it was cut.

Yes!!! Thank you!! I remember the oath scene and have never been able to find it! I thought I was making it up or going bananas.

Yea, and Donner totally sabotaged it with that reshoot.

One day Spielberg will release a huge box set of the director's cut of all his films with gorilla scenes. For the films where we don't actually have gorilla footage, well, George Lucas has a lot of time on his hands nowadays.

And don’t get me started on the deleted gorilla rampage scene in Schindler’s List.

Did you see the gorillas in close encounters? It’s in the landing scene. Blink and you’ll miss it.

I'm pretty sure a Gorilla was driving the truck in Duel

I'm sure the buggy was a Kubelwagen.

absolutely - we'd always wonder why Data was telling his parents about an octopus after the rescue!@

One of my most loved childhood movies and I'm just learning about the damn octopus being real!

The Fratellis were packing too much heat.

Respect

When I rewatched it as an adult my thought was "where's the octopus?"

We recorded it from the Disney channel and had the deleted scenes included.

In Europe we didn't really get alternate versions as far as I know, just cuts. My VHS tape of Cop and a Half recorded from British TV was missing a few scenes of adult dialogue and that scene where Burt Reynolds and the kid share a urinal.

@@johnallen3033 it's too bad they didn't cut the other 85 minutes.. Jk, I actually loved that movie but I'm sure it doesn't hold up

@@ConSepTg I rewatched it just a few weeks ago, I think it holds up really well until the third act and then falls apart. The kid playing Devon Butler was good too, I was genuinely pissed off when I read he got nominated for a Razzie, what a rotten thing to do to a child.

Reminds me a bit of my run-in with a deleted MOVIE I'd seen in the '70s - my friends and family thought for years that I was making it up, until even I was gaslit into thinking I had to have imagined the whole thing: there was a fourth original Star Wars movie that I saw one time on TV in the late 1970s, and never saw or heard from again, where Han Solo and the gang end up visiting Chewie's home planet, where stormtroopers hold Chewie's family hostage, and hi-jinks ensue. It wasn't a good movie. Sometimes my friends and family would insist I must have be talking about "that Ewok movie" - and I'd have to explain "no way - there were TWO Ewok movies, and they came out years later!" Of course, the movie I remembered was the 1978 "Star Wars Holiday Special", which was so bad, Stephen Spielberg made it his life mission to try to destroy every last copy of it, and bury every hint that it ever existed - it never aired again, and only exists today because someone managed to record it on an early VCR, passing copies around at Star Wars conventions. I finally got my validation that I hadn't imagined the whole thing decades later, on the internet, and finally managed to track down a copy a couple years after that. It's pretty easy to find, now, and it's every bit as terrible as - actually, more terrible than - I remembered! :) Anyway, I absolutely sympathize with that terrible "Mandela Effect" feeling you get from years of people insisting you were making up one of those odd deleted movie scene moments!

Ascension millennium. Nuff said.

Chunk is a lawyer... so that's something

Ke Huy Quan will always be the man as well

I’m 46 who’s Corey Feldman

@@travismiller7596 Just a friend of Cory Haim.

As a kid that octopus line made me think Data was just a little liar and that was a random character trait lol

Guru Larry! Love your channel

@@cripplermaximus me too lol!!!! 😂 😂

I'm don't understand that deleted scene, it was in The Goonies when I saw it as a kid in the theatre, then it wasn't when I saw it again a year later on HBO.

I had the trading cards as a kid and the octopus was actually in there

They used to have a donation box for fans to take pictures and leave money for maintenance and upkeep. The neighbors got all pissy about the money amd so the home owner closed it all off and that was the end of that.

Neighbors I talked to were more upset about the littering, dog shit, parking being taken (even their own driveways), and people showing up at all times of the day / even night.

I got to visit the house before they blocked it off. I feel very lucky!

Same here in 2012 I think.

It's perfectly fine to go visit again. I did a roadtrip recently in October and I walked up and took pictures. There are even signs on the mailbox saying "Yes" and "Okay to walk up." And one sign simply stating "No cars allowed." But you can park below and visit and the donation box was still out front of the house. Just thought I'd update everyone for future traveling.

Yep, I taped it off the Disney Channel, and those scenes were there. I was bummed years later when I bought the DVD, and discovered that those scenes weren't in the theatrical cut. I was like where'd the octopus go?

@@pensacolian211 The DVD has those as deletes scenes, but for some reason, they cut the convenience scene right before the kids sneak away from Brand yet again.

yes - you used to be able to buy a fancut of the film that had those scenes restored - it has since become unavailable - same as the uncut Ace Ventura Pet Detective :( Sad as those scenes cut would have made a better movie I feel, esp in Ace. Same deal as the 4 hour Ulysses Cut of Waterworld, hard to find now. I have the UC of Waterworld, but sadly didnt grab the Goonies or Ace fancuts when they were around :(

@@izzyfernandes6862 the Ulysses cut is on Blu Ray courtesy of Arrow Films. I’ve seen it a couple of times.

@@FigmentForever wow thats great! I got my burnt copy a few years earlier, but very nice to know that fans ( i thought waterworld was an epic movie ) can see the definitive version. Good lookin out thank you :) I never heard of arrow films i will check them out :) :)

This is out on an official Blu-ray now, it’s also included as an extra if you buy the theatrical cut on iTunes.

@@artanisknarf Correct.

But looks hilarious.

i think it was cut for pacing aswell

I swear I remember seeing an ally scene in the original 89 Batman movie, that wasn't on the home releases when I watched them years later. I could be misremembering, but I don't remember if I seen it on theater or on TV, but I just remember and Ally scene that wasn't on the VHS tapes I rented

Yeah, and sometimes Legend would have the Jerry Goldsmith score.

I've seen the octopus part in the movie. They usually added it in the tv version. Watched it on TBS all the time.

@@MudballDon There's *three* versions on the Blu-ray

I love the journey down the underground river, as well. That was my first exposure to the Monkey's Paw story and it scared the shit out of me!

Rocky 4 also

Return to Oz! 😍

Thank goodness, another Return to Oz fan! Everyone I’ve met who remembers it hated it

Yep Aussie here - I remember Video Ezy.

1989 used to be my favorite year, but lately Ive discovered so many movies from 1985 its now on par with 1989, IMO.

Saw it 5 times in the theater

Yes me and my buddies would watch this movie all the time. Recite lines who we would be in the same situation. Classic movie.

Same here. Still love it!

If Goonies were made today they would have kept ALL the scenes, completely destroying the pace and making it a 2/3 hours long movie.

And the kids are still annoying little turds. That's timeless too.

I think they should have just included the first scene of the gorillas taking the douchebag characters car and left it at that. That's the crux of humour. Including the rest would be just stretching out the joke and lose its effectiveness.

it could use more gorillas

You made it up, weirdo

You and me both buddy.

Woah, I still hadn't made this connection until I read your comment. Mind blown.

They didn't really make them like that then, either - movies are not special for being typical.

I can support your father and sisters claim.

I remember seeing the scene for the first time on cable in the early 90's.

The scene is on a VHS version I own

It's a deleted scene on the DVD and when Disney Channel aired Goonies way back in their premium channel days, it had the octopus scene, the convenience store scene as well as Data showing off his gadgets that all failed.

I knew someone who claimed he saw the Jabba scene from A New Hope in its original form with the stand in actor IN THE THEATERS in 1977!!!! Every source I looked up about this says it's untrue. Another claim I remember hearing is when CBS initially aired A New Hope in 1982, many viewers claim they saw the deleted Biggs scenes. I'm not talking about the scene where they reunite in the hangar right before the Death Star battle that was put back in the Special Edition. I'm talking about the scenes on Tattooine where Biggs meet up with Luke right before he enters Flight Academy. I can't claim whether this is true or not and the claims have been dead for quite some time, but it sure would be interesting to know if they're true or not.

Same 110%

@@philcooper9225 me too. I guess we mixed up the Cindy Lauper video with the movie.

There is a good chance you did see it as was included on some TV airings of the film

@@gregoryl.levitre9759 nah I saw it on TV it was part of the TV edit as mentioned in this KZfaq video

@@Laser2120 oh! Cool!

I remember watching it on VHS shortly after it was released, I'm 47 soon And my son My brothers son Both have seen it and live it too

I remember this scene as well, except it was Mouth that read the writing (not Mikey) because it was in Spanish.

I remember this. I came here to bring it up. I definitely remember them reading what was on the board before breaking through it.

Yes saw this as well

This! I totally remember Mouth translating what was written before they punched through it. So long ago I have always wondered if it was something I just made up in my head, but good to hear others remembering it too. Would love to see the scene again, if it still exists somewhere.

100% this scene exists

That sounds awful, I hope for the sake of this movies legacy that never happens.

@@hyicrotai9801 I thought maybe a prequel on how One Eyed Willy came to be, and how him and the crew met their demise....

Please NO! This younger generation needs to get some creativity and not ruin everything that was already done already.

@@Mr.White10-65 Fair enough, I think sequels of this type can be risky. They can elevate the previous work, or they can cheapen it. Sometimes both.

@@Mr.White10-65 They are creative but in different ways. How young people grow up now and how it felt to grow up then are practically different worlds. You dont see kids going outside and going on adventures. The nerds got their revenge long ago, now everyone has gadgets. Let's face it. Us Gen Xers are stuck in a world we no longer recognize. Its our kids world now and we got to let them go do figure things out and support them.

😳

His last names Cohen like the kid who played Chunk

Cheers!

Joe Ramoni is great, really thorough.

@Alaska Music Australia. The C-64 was pretty big here.

I played the Goonies video slot machine in the casino of the Venetian in Las Vegas.

Indeed! The scene with Mouth and Stef on the plank is also referenced on the beach in the end. Surprised more people don’t wonder why he thanks her for offering to save his life. One tiny scene of Sloth and Chunk following everyone was also in the Disney Channel version AND the NBC TV airing, which is most likely the same version Disney aired, just cut down to about 95 minutes.

@@derekminer7004 Disney Channel also aired NBC's version of Gremlins, with the scene of the Gremlins being massacred in the kitchen edited to not show their deaths (yep, no Gremlin exploding in the microwave...sorry). They did have the "Gerald in the vault" where after Kate tells her tragic story about her father dying one Christmas Eve, they open the bank vault to find Gerald locked inside. I wish they would have included that scene in the theatrical cut. It gives Judge Reinhold more screen time. There's more scenes with Gerald in the deleted scenes section of the DVD. Too bad it was all cut and now Judge Reinhold's role in the movie is just more or less a cameo.

I definitely remember the extra dialogue between Mouth and Stef on the plank! :)

So sorry, hope you hold onto the good memories and at least you got to be with her.
