The Goonies | comment |
The Goonies, a 1985 adventure comedy film, is one of those ubiquitous pieces of The '80s fans hold fond memories of, even today.A small group of kids living on the "Goon Docks" of Astoria, Oregon are in dire straits: the owners of a local country club have threatened their families' homes with foreclosure so they can finish building a new addition to said country club. On one of their last days in the neighborhood, one of the "Goonies", Mikey (Sean Astin), discovers a Treasure Map in his attic. The map supposedly reveals where to find the treasure of infamous pirate One-Eyed Willie — and it appears to lead somewhere underneath Astoria. Mikey and the rest of the Goonies decide to try saving their neighborhood by going after the treasure — but to get it, they must outwit a trio of mobsters and survive numerous death traps designed to keep One-Eyed Willie's treasure safe from outsiders.The Goonies was the brainchild of three well-known Hollywood names: Steven Spielberg (executive producer/story), Chris Columbus (screenplay), and Richard Donner (director).In addition to a Novelization by James Kahn, the film also received a few licensed video games (The Goonies covers three separate games, and The Goonies II is a sequel to one of those games). A rumored sequel has been stuck in Development Hell since The 2000s.Character tropes go on to the Characters Sheet. | |

Shipshape Shipwreck | |
The Goonies / int_12c98b56 | comment |
Shipshape Shipwreck: One-Eyed Willie's 350-year-old pirate ship actually sails out onto the open seas at the end. While the ship is not submerged, it has been sitting in water for three centuries in a wet, brackish cavern with lots of moisture dripping from stalactites. Aside from the skeleton of Willie, the ship and even its sails appear to be in fairly good condition. | |

Correlation/Causation Gag | |
The Goonies / int_12ffce31 | comment |
Correlation/Causation Gag: In the opening sequence, Mouth is watching a loud police chase on television while his father tries to unblock a sink. Mr. Devereaux tells Mouth to switch off the set, and he does... just as the police chase the Fratellis past the house. A bewildered Mouth assumes the sounds of sirens and gunfire are coming from the television and tries applying Percussive Maintenance. As the cars drive away, the sounds fade away too, and Mouth just shrugs it off. | |

The Goonies / int_189841a6 | comment |
Cheated Angle: Rare live-action version. When Mikey is around, One-Eyed Willie's skeleton is always shot from an angle that makes the skeleton look like it's smiling at the Goonies for passing his traps on their own. At the end, when Mama Fratelli is sarcastically thanking him, the skeleton is shot from a position where it very definitely does not look like it's smiling; looking away in shame. | |

Adaptation Expansion | |
The Goonies / int_23473ae7 | comment |
Adaptation Expansion: The novelization extends the story further and reveals details not shown in the film. One-Eyed Willy (real name William B. Pordobel) was originally a jester who got kicked out of multiple Spanish courts for being too vulgar, so he turned to piracy. Brand is claustrophobic, which Mikey first experienced when they got trapped in an elevator. Being in the caves triggers a relapse. A series of excerpts from the local newspaper reveals what happens after the Goonies save the Goon Docks, such as the country club getting bought out by Mikey's father, the fate of the Fratellis as they are sent back to prison, and Sloth adapting to his new life as a member of Chunk's family. | |

Bilingual Bonus: The gangsters are the infamous Fratelli Brothers and their mother.

When Chunk realizes he's been caught by the Fratellis again, the words he mumbles — before he starts screaming — are the beginning of a Hebrew prayer. | |

Actor Allusion: Sloth is at one point wearing an Oakland Raiders t-shirt, whom Sloth's actor, John Matuszak used to play for back in the 70s. A director allusion, as a bit of John Williams' theme from Richard Donner's Superman: The Movie plays when Sloth rips open his shirt to reveal the logo. Mikey mentions Michael Jackson going over to Chunk's house in one scene. In real life, Corey Feldman was close friends with the singer, and the two later became estranged. At one point in the movie, Mike cries out "Holy Mackenzie!" Sean Astin's brother is Mackenzie Astin. | |

Happily Ever After | |
The Goonies / int_41271766 | comment |
Happily Ever After: Detailed in the novelization through a series of excerpts from the Astoria newspaper; having successfully retrieved a handful of gems in his marble bag, Mikey - due to salvage laws - owns One-Eyed Willie's ship and everything on it. This results in a Karmic Jackpot: Paying off all the loans is of course chump change, but having done so, the developers are unable to build their golf course, and have to sell the property - and because no-one else in the area has enough money, the Goonies' parents buy everything and basically turn Astoria into the greatest small town in America. The land already bulldozed becomes low-income housing, and the country club which the developers built ahead of time becomes a community center. The Goonies' parents also build a children's center, a Chinese restaurant, a plumbing supply house, a fish market, and a public-access invention laboratory. The museum that Mikey's dad chairs even gets a new addition; One-Eyed Willy's ship! The last article is a notice of the Bar Mitzvah for Jason "Sloth" Cohen, the newly adopted son of Mr. & Mrs. Jerry Cohen. | |

The Goonies / int_4604fd4d | comment |
Worthy Opponent: Mikey very much treats One-Eyed Willy this way. And in an odd way, when Mikey warns the others not to take the treasure from the scales because "that's Willy's," the following reaction shot of his skeleton almost seems to suggest he respects Mikey for understanding that. In short, Mikey's respect for Willy turns out to save the Goonies. | |

Artistic License – History | |
The Goonies / int_56515a39 | comment |
Artistic License – History: It's extraordinarily unlikely that a seventeenth-century pirate would spend any amount of time near the Oregon Coast. As anyone who has played The Oregon Trail should know, Oregon didn't receive significant Western settlement until the nineteenth century. The film's setting of Astoria is actually one of the oldest towns in Oregon, and it wasn't founded until 1811. In the seventeenth century, the area would have had a distinct lack of European sea traffic for pirates to rob. And One-Eyed Willy was being pursued by the British, who should technically be called the English since this is before the Acts of Union in 1707. This would require that the English chased him around the southern tip of South America and then all the way back up north until they reached the western coast of North America. That is not technically impossible, but it's really unlikely that everyone involved would have gone to such lengths to reach what would have then been a remote spot of wilderness. | |

Support Your Parents: The Goonies decide to try to find One-Eyed Willie's treasure, despite the dangers, in order to save their parents' homes from foreclosing to make way for a golf course. Mikey even mentions how the foreclosure is killing their parents, adding to their motivation. Downplayed, since not moving would also have the benefit of keeping The Goonies from moving away from each other. On both fronts, they succeed. Discussed near the end of the film, when Mikey apologizes to his dad for saving their own lives over getting the treasure. His father assures him he'd rather have Brand and Mikey safe than be rich. | |

Undead Author: According to the legend, One-Eyed Willie killed off all of his men after making the map; when asked how the map and story got out, Mikey comments that he asked his dad this too, and his dad said one of them must have escaped. The scene of the crime seems to imply that Willie and his top officers all killed each other off fighting over the treasure at the table - meaning that the survivor who escaped with the map was even smarter than Willy. | |

Covers Always Lie: Chunk is with the rest of the Goonies in several VHS and DVD covers. But in the movie, he doesn't meet up with them until the climax. Oddly enough, Chunk was with them in the music video, but not Stef. The original poster art featured the cast dangling from the feet of another with the top one hanging on a rock. However, there is no such scene in the movie; the closest would be the moment before Andy plays the last note on the pipe organ. | |

It's the Journey That Counts: Played with. By searching for One-Eyed Willy's treasure, the friends all get even closer, Brand and Mikey prove they really do love each other, Andy learns she's a Goonie and tosses Troy aside, and they all come to realize they don't need money as long as they have each other. (Mikey apologizes to his dad for having to give up the treasure to save themselves, but his father is only glad to have him and Brand back safe and sound.) But not only did they help capture the Fratellis and give Sloth a home, so good was accomplished, but the gems in Mikey's marble bag will save the town from the country club developer, so they don't have to leave Astoria after all. | |

Conveniently Precise Translation | |
The Goonies / int_87602ba7 | comment |
Conveniently Precise Translation: The treasure map is in Spanish, but when translated into English, it becomes rhyming verse. No one even stops to consider how unusual this is. The map was supposedly written in the 1600s, when Spanish was a considerably different language than it is now. Nobody stops to wonder how the kid who took modern Spanish in school can read it perfectly, or how he translates it flawlessly to ancient English with terms like "ye". | |

Brand when he's about to fly off the road at high speed on a child-sized bicycle. Stef and Andy when they step on the rake. Mouth and Stef when they spot the pirate ship for the first time. Ma Fratelli when Mouth spits out all the jewels he was hiding. And finally topped off by the sheriff with "Holy Mary, mother of God" when he sees the pirate ship sailing off at the end. | |

Dynamite Candle: A rare example of combining this with Chekhov's Gun; when the Goonies find Chester Copperpot's body, they pick through his satchel and find a bunch of candles, which the camera lingers on long enough to notice one "candle" has some kind of writing on it. Most of them actually are candles, which are used throughout the movie. In the penultimate scene, they're down to the last "candle", which of course is not a candle. | |

Foreshadowing: The skull lamp in Mikey's bedroom and the skeleton seen in the fish tank when Chunk tells Mikey, Brand and Mouth about the car chase between the Fratellis and the police at the beginning of the movie foreshadows Mikey, Brand, Andy, Stef, Data and Mouth discovering the skeleton of Chester Copperpot. The bowling ball that rolls across the railing, which Mikey releases from a tin bucket when he pulls a cord, that falls into another bucket and sets off the contraption that opens the yard gate for Chunk at the beginning of the film foreshadows the cannonball in the Triple Stones booby trap that Mikey sets off. | |

Oh, Crap!: The Fratellis' reaction when Sloth reveals his Superman shirt. Chunk's reaction when he sees the ORV with bullet holes parked in the garage of the old restaurant. The same ORV he saw being chased by the police earlier in the film. Chunk again when he calls a car to help him get the police... and sees that Jake Fratelli is the driver. The rock booby trap Mikey accidentally set off. Data trips when trying to run and looks up to see a rock about to crush him. The Goonies when they realize the Fratellis have caught up to them and quickly make a run for it. Everybody after they find the body in the freezer and the Fratellis come back while they're still in the basement. | |

Also, Mikey and Willie both have disabilities, Mikey with his asthma and Willie's one eye. To make it even more obvious, the Novelization says that Willie had asthma, too. | |

Cool Ship: Willy's pirate ship, the Inferno, is still intact and seaworthy(!) many, many years later by the time the Goonies find it. It was one in real life, too — the ship was a massive working set which, when filming wrapped, the crew tried desperately to find a buyer for, or even to donate it to a museum or theme park. Nobody bit, so they were forced to scuttle the ship. | |

Hope Spot: Chunk has several close calls, but he manages to sneak out of the restaurant without the Fratellis finding out that he was still there, and he gets to a road and gets someone to finally listen to him about his story. And then, right when he thinks he's safe, he finds out that the driver is Jake Fratelli. Another one occurs when Data accidentally activates a printing press which begins turning out sheets of $50 bills which the Goonies begin celebrating that they found enough money to save the Goon Docks... only for Brand to point out that they're all counterfeit. | |

Realistic Diction Is Unrealistic: One of Mikey's general habits involve struggling to figure out the right word, often stumbling over himself repeatedly just to get a phrase out. His recounting of the story of One-Eyed Willy is also not a masterful rendition but very perfunctory to the point of almost being a run-on sentence, and sometimes backtracks when he forgot a detail. | |

Contrived Coincidence: Mikey stops Data from taking coins off a scale while they raid One-Eyed Willy's treasure, declaring that everything else is fair game, but that they should leave those out of respect for the pirate. Ma Fratelli later lifts the same scale, and it trips the final trap which releases the ship from the cavern. It's all but stated that Mikey and Willy operate on the same wavelength but that level of understanding is on par with Mikey being Willie's reincarnation. | |

O.O.C. Is Serious Business: When the Treasure Map is first found and Mikey asks Mouth to translate the Spanish on it, he begins with his typical snarky attitude, hamming it up and overdoing the Spanish/pirate accent...but by the end of the first stanza, as it sinks in just what they've found (and how threatening the lines are), this slowly fades, until he speaks rather quietly and slowly, with a rather pale face. Played for more comedy later, when Ma Fratelli realizes that Mouth is being oddly silent. She forces him to open up and fishes out a comically large amount of treasure from it. | |

Artistic License – Geography | |
The Goonies / int_e9f517e1 | comment |
Artistic License – Geography: Multiple liberties seem to have been taken with the geography of northwestern Oregon. Though it can probably be chalked up to being an 80's kids/teen movie. The Oregon coast seen in the movie is either on the Washington side of the Columbia River or dozens of miles to the south. Neither is likely to be accessible to a gang of teens and pre-teens on bicycles. Putting the final scene on the river keeps it within bicycle range, but then Washington might show up on the other side of what would clearly be a river, rather than the ocean. The entire opening car chase through Astoria. Complete with driving down one way roads, going up a hill and immediately coming down the same way they went up, driving down a one way pier, and finishing on Cannon Beach which is some 40 miles south of Astoria. Although Astoria, Oregon is a real place, and much of the film was shot there, the town does not actually have a neighborhood called the Goon Docks. | |

Groin Attack | |
The Goonies / int_eaf5a1ac | comment |
Groin Attack: Data's "Pinchers of Peril" bite onto Francis Fratelli's groin when they confront him on the pirate ship. Earlier, the Fratelli Brothers try to cross a log bridge but slipped on the oil Data poured out ("Slick Shoes"). Francis flips over and landed on his groin, while Jake fell down hitting between his legs. | |

Ten-Second Flashlight | |
The Goonies / int_eca56f2 | comment |
Ten-Second Flashlight: A non-video-game example: Data activates his "Bully Blinders" because nobody else brought a flashlight to the cave. While the intense light does indeed blind the rest of the gang for a few moments, it also burns out the batteries just as quickly. | |

Keep It Foreign: In the original version of this film, the woman hired by Mikey's mother is a Hispanic named Rosalita, and Mouth helps Mrs. Walsh by translating her commands into Spanish. In the Spanish version of this film, Rosalita becomes an Italian woman named Rossanna. | |

Product Placement | |
The Goonies / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: Chunk is all over the product placement, famously befriending Sloth with a Baby Ruth candy bar. Pepsi makes several label-out appearances, also Domino's Pizza, and others. The Jeep Cherokee comes out looking real good too. Mikey reads MAD, which was and is co-owned with Warner Bros.. They did a parody anyway. | |

Running Gag | |
The Goonies / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: A character will mispronounce something, another character will supply the correct word and the first character will claim that's what they said. Done primarily by Mikey, as a kind of verbal characteristic. His mom does it too, implying that he probably gets it from her. | |

The Goonies / int_fb14ef64 | comment |
Water-Geyser Volley: This happens to Troy while he is in the bathroom, and Mikey and the others were fooling around with the water pipes. However, this would also count as a Special Effect Failure, because while Troy is thrust up into the air by the water from the toilet, you can clearly see the platform on which he is sitting that makes the stunt work. | |

Artistic License – Economics | |
The Goonies / int_fd76df83 | comment |
Artistic License – Economics: The foreclosure framework the plot is based around is really confusing. The kids are going to lose their childhood homes due to them being foreclosed upon by a banker who's planning on demolishing the development to build an expansion to a local private golf course, which appears to be a weird muddling of foreclosure and eminent domain. Foreclosure is a proceeding when a mortgage is defaulted upon; the bank can't just unilaterally foreclose your loan legally with no just cause. So, are all of the houses in foreclosure at the same time (what a coincidence!), or is it just Mikey's family being in foreclosure as the last holdout in the development unwilling to sell to the developer? If the latter, why is his family having trouble paying the mortgage now (it's mentioned that his father works at a museum and doesn't make a lot of money, but there's nothing to indicate that it's a recent change so why is he unable to pay the mortgage now? Also, if Mikey's family are the last holdouts from the developer's plans to buy the land, wouldn't that mean that every other family that accepted an offer to buy out their homes (presumably for above market value) now lost out because the development will not be going through? At the end, it can all be chalked up to being an 80's kids movie. | |
