I was 36 years-old in 1985, and I took my son and daughter along with two of their cousins to see 'The Goonies' movie. The kids were between 10 and 13 years of age, and I'll never forget how much they enjoyed this movie. I enjoyed it myself. Thanks for this great video!
Now being that you had a 10-13 year old in 1985 did you send them out to play and they rode their bikes to hell and creation and didn’t come home until the street lights were on?
I fear that my kids may never experience anything like we did in the 80's! The Goonies was certainly one of the great movies of the time! We love it, our kids love it, and their kids will certainly love it! Thanks, Adam!🙂
@@TheDailyWoo I visited Astoria last summer. I think that Jeep getaway vehicle in front of the jail is the actual screen used vehicle, not a replica. The building is now a film history museum.
@@TheDailyWoo I have some other shared interests with the new owner of The Goonies house. We met in 2018 while running neighboring booths at a convention. He'll use the house like a second home part of the year, and plans to embrace The Goonies history. He was talking with an engineer about recreating the gate opening contraptions. Just like in the movie, visitors will need to do the truffle shuffle to get through the gate.
Yeah, Oregon has natural beauty. The bad parts are the cities where it's nothing but homeless camps, druggies, and criminals. Oregon, and most of the American West Coast are no longer looked at as great tourist destinations by people, even by international tourists around the world.
I visited the Goonie's house back in 2010, before the previous owner started getting really strict about people visiting. She actually used to embrace fans showing up, but once the movie celebrated the 25th anniversary, there was a huge uptick in people visiting, and some of them did not respect her privacy (knocking on the door and wanting to come inside, peeking through windows, etc.) and she finally had enough. At one point she even hung large tarps over the front and sides of the house to hide it from view, and even posted a sign at the bottom of the drive-way, warning people not to come up to see the house or the police would be called.
Astoria Oregon is BEAUTIFUL! The view of the beach from up high doesn't look real, it just looks too beautiful to be real. A truly beautiful place to live.
2:56 A quiet sticker mention of KMUN, the best radio station in the Columbia-Pacific, by far. I'm glad you made it to Astoria, Adam. It's a lovely little town.
The summer The Goonies came out, my mom must've taken my brother and I to see it 4 or 5 times. To this day, it's still one of my favorites movies. Thank you for the stroll down memory lane!
@@SlothyVlogs that's great, it's good to know that millions of people that grew up in the UK had the same 80s childhood fun that we had. Those pre internet years were so much fun, 80s and 90s movies had to be the pinnacle of entertainment.
I was born in Eugene Oregon, and spent a lot of time hanging out at the coast. It was always fun to go to Astoria and see the ‘Goonie House’. I’ve lived in Alaska since 1984, and after watching your video, you’ve inspired us to make a trip back there!
I was there last June 2022. Work sent me to Oregon for 2 weeks, so over the weekend I spent there in Astoria. I got so many pics of that area. While I was there a woman that was in the house across the street from the jail wouldn't tell me exactly where the Goonies house was. Then I remembered the scene where Mikey is depressed about losing the house and you can see the elementary school from Kindergarten Cop in the background really fast. I had been to that elementary school before so I went back. And when I passed the school you could only turn left to head back down to the main road. Low and behold, the house was right in front of me! It was like finding the Holy Grail! Great video Adam! I want to go back so much now! :)
I love the fact that we already had Justin's perspective on the Goondocks, and now we get ATW's. Thank you for acknowledging the grey in my beard boys.
“Ruth, Ruth, Ruth Baby Ruth!!” Loved this vlog Adam! One of my all time favorite movies and when you announced you were flying to Seattle I was crossing my fingers that you would end up in Astoria!! You could just hear the excitement and pure love for this movie and your voice! Beautifully done! Thank you!
I was wondering if Adam would make a reference to that, or possibly "Kindergarten Cop". Pretty sure Adam would never pass up a chance to do Arnie ( "Ahh nie ")
The Bish that bought Mikey's house and was there for years was a Dick for remodeling the house. Why you gonna buy an Iconic Movie House if you are just gonna change it? LAME!
I'm so close to you I'm so excited I live so close!!!!!!!!!! I never thought you'd ever make your adventures near me and here you are!!! Hope you have an amazing time!! I watch all your videos daily!!
It was so contagious to see your reaction when you got out to the beach especially but all the other sites as well. I'm definitely re-watching Goonies tonight!!!
I can confirm that you got it right about the former location of the abandoned restaurant at Ecola State Park built as a set piece for The Goonies. This park was also the location of the school fair featured in Kindergarten Cop. My son was an extra in that film.
Why why why!!! 😭 I was always hoping to be in Astoria when Adam the Woo adventured up there. Always wishing to just bump into him at the Goonies house. Lol😅 so glad you made it up there Adam! Astoria was always one of our favorites.
This is so awesome! On a road trip we went from Disneyland to Seattle and stopped by Astoria to see Goonies locations once. Luckily it was before the previous house owners stopped allowing Goonies fans.
So close to home! Astoria is so magical. I always felt a real connection to The Goonies since I'm from the area. My mom didn't care for the movie, but we always watched it when it was on network tv.
Whats amazing about this video is that 1) You've never been there before and 2) How emotional you seemed when you saw things. Love your stuff, always have. Brilliant as ever.
The Goonies is definitely a classic I watched it so many times I tore up my VHS cassette tape, bought it on dvd now have it on prime video 🤣 I watched it with my little niece and nephew and they love it💜
One great thing that happened for us during covid....movie theaters played throwback movies.....I was able to take my kids and grandkids to see Goonies in the theater on the big screen. We will visit Astoria this summer.
As someone who grew up in the 80s and frequently, visited Astoria throughout my life this video is one of the best filming locations for this movie I have ever seen. Good job, Adam keep up the good work.
The Goonies!!! An 11 year old me rode my bike two cities away, across a major 8 lane thoroughfare, with $5 ready to but ticket and snacks for the greatest movie experience of my life up til then, and tbh that whole experience surrounding that day was an epic level to rival Stand By Me.
I've watched dozens of videos about Astoria/Goonies filming locations, but none like yours. "The Woo's seal of quality" really makes all the difference.
Nice to have you here in Oregon. As you probably know, there are many great filming locations here. Winter isn't the best time to visit them, so I hope you come back when Florida is sweltering.
I've been through Astoria a few times on my trips along the Columbia River Gorge and down the Oregon coast. Astoria is a pretty neat little town for sure! Thanks for bring us this video!
I’ve been waiting for this video! Just yesterday, I was wondering why you’ve never covered this before. It’s like you read my mind! I visited some of these places for the first time, last year. When we went to the Goonies house, we parked by that green house you showed. The homeowner was very friendly. He was chatting it up with the people that parked in front of us, asking if the house was worth the trip. I made a donation, but didn’t see anyone else make one. The Oregon coast is beautiful! Your video brings back great memories!
Nice one Adam!! So fun to see you in my hometown! Born and raised in Astoria, I was 12 when Goonies was filmed there. The actors/kids in the movie lived there for months. They came to our school a couple of times and I remember watching them film a few times. Thanks for the great video. There are so many hidden gems and great places to explore, if you ever need a local guide. I’ve been watching your videos for years, thank you for all your cool and funny content. Travel safely!!
Hey, I've just stumbled on your comment about living in Astoria. It's lovely to see a comment from an Astorian. What a beautiful place to live! I am really curious about Astoria during the months of filming. You say the actors all lived there for those months but did the townsfolk know where? Did the cast and crew all stay in a hotel or did they rent out flats and houses?
@@neverwise Astoria is truly a special place. There is a reason why more than 200 films have been made around the area. There is a fun Film Museum in the old Jail where they filmed the beginning scenes of Goonies. The actors lived in rented homes and I believe a couple of them lived with local families. Some of them were pretty young. I remember the actors doing local things at the schools and during shooting you could watch from the blocked off street. The house was up on the hill, obviously, and I remember watching the scene where Rosalita is trying to cross the street during the police chase in the beginning, which is only a couple blocks from the actual Goonies house. Astor Elementary is 4 blocks from the Goonies house and is where Kindergarten Cop was filmed. Arnold was in town for a while too. A bunch of my high school friends worked on the set and getting painting, landscaping done, etc. Pretty cool. You MUST visit! Going the summer or early fall.
@@doves9204 There is tons of first come first serve camping around the area and up and down the coast. Fort Stevens is the big state park near Astoria and is very cool with a beach with an old shipwreck, big campground with yurts, bike trails, beach and lake within walk/bike distance. The Oregon Coast is expensive for sure. Warrenton and Seaside are pretty close to Astoria and might be able to find a cheaper airbnb. Seaside is kind of plastic, typical tourist, beach-boardwalk, elephant ears, arcade. Super crazy at spring break sort of town but right on beach. Warrenton is low key small town between Astoria and Seaside, just over the bridge, nothing fancy but close to everything and especially beaches and activities at the State park. Enjoy
12 year-old me watching The Goonies in an English cinema for the first time in 1985? All I dreamt of for so long was living in Astoria. It seemed like a magical place. Still does in many ways. I must visit it one day instead of just watch lovely CZcams videos about it ;)
I know others have done great location videos here, but this one has me ugly emotion laugh/crying because you were so excited. Awesome. I love Oregon so much. Thank you for this.
I absolutely love the way you do filming locations. This was a great one from the goonies my wife and I spent a weekend in Chicago filming the home alone Ferris Bueller, planes trains and automobiles and uncle Buck houses and filming locations. It was actually more exciting than I ever thought.
I cannot thank you enough!! Astoria is one of my favorite cities (only beat out by St Augustine, Fl) and I have sorely missed it lately. I have never seen the Goonies but thank you for going to this beautiful city.
Ive been there numerous times over the years and also have watched other vloggers experiences but I'm laughing along with you Adam, cause I love how the child comes out in you just being blown away with these locations. Its a beautiful part of the country. Can't believe you waited so long to cover this one, glad you did, keep on trekkin'!
Your enthusiasm for this is EXACTLY how I would be if I ever get the opportunity to visit the filming locations. I have loved The Goonies ever since I was a kid and watched it over thirty years ago. Your excitement sums it all up and I'm so glad you managed to go. What's also really heartwarming is that the residents appear to fully embrace the legacy. Goonies never say die! Great video, Adam. Thank you as always, buddy.
Just do it....save up some money and go....life is too short....I just recently started traveling to places I've been wanting to go for the past 20 years, wish I didn't wait so long.
Probably known many time over, but Astoria Oregon is such a beautiful sea side fishing town and of course famous for The Goonies! Hope some day to pay an homage to in person and do the Truffle Shuffle. 🤣 Great vid as always Adam, keep up the good find and share it to the world!
Hands down my favorite video!!! I’ve been there 2 times and it never gets old. I the Goonies!!! Thank you for sharing this video it just made my day better!! Much ❤to ya!!
Excellent coverage of goonie locations. Ive seen that movie so many times. Love it. I met Robert Davi (Jake) while he was filming Raw Deal in Wilmington, NC in 85/86. Fresh off Goonies it was cool meeting him. He was super nice and gave us a signed pic of a scene from that movie. Thanks for the nostalgia Adam
This is so awesome and I love it that the new owners are Goonies! PNW at its best! Thank you Adam for these last couple of videos of Seattle and Goonies locations!!
Glad you finally made it here to my state...there are a lot more movies that were filmed in Oregon...You will find Oregon is a beautiful state...lots to see and do here.
It's great to see so many businesses and the new owner of the Goonies house still embrace the film. One part that I always wondered about The Goonies is if Chunk ran it by his parents first if it would be cool if Sloth lived with them or did he just surprise them with that when they all went home?
I lived in west Oregon for three years recently. Just moved back home across the country for family reasons. Trying to get back out there at some point. Truly a magical area.
In 2016 we did California/Oregon road trip and we took a rather long detour to Astoria as we were so ‘close’ . I think we drove 6 hours. Astoria is beautiful but the main truffle shuffle house was covered in tarp and I mean covered because the owners had clearly had enough of people trying to recreate the truffle shuffle on their property. With that being said we still thought it was worth it.
Those people tried to embrace the Goonie vibe but so many people camping in their yard, leaving garbage, and just being disrespectful caused them to change their view. Hopefully people won't ruin it this time.
We live an hour and a half from there and know Sandy. Sad she sold it but happy someone who loves our Goonies now owns the house. Here in Oregon, we are very much about OUR GOONIES. we go up several times a year...to hang out. It's a great city. Cheers!🖤🐈⬛
Hello Adam. Dave and I just watched the Goonies movie! The first time we watched it years ago we didn't get to see the whole movie. But this time we did! And we loved it! Thanks for bringing us along! ❤️⚘️♥️
I was hoping you'd document the locations. We visited several of them last summer (2022). Beautiful town! By the way, the entire Oregon coast is simply stunning.
OMGOSH I live in Seaside, you are one of my favorite you-tubers ! If I saw you in public I'm afraid I wouldn't be cool, I would go all fangirl lolol....If you have time and are still around, you should vlog the river walk. It's pretty cool, but admittedly cooler when the weather is nicer. Have fun on our north coast !
Wow❤️❤️👍🏻. This is one of the best videos showing where they filmed The Goonies. Love how you give great detail of where the streets are, the house, the rocks in the ocean, the jail, the Fritali’s jeep. You tell the story very well. I feel that I was back in 1985 when they filmed this awesome movie. Great video ❤️👍🏻. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻❤️.
YES! You made it to Oregon, welcome! You still need to check out the Enchanted Forrestx just south of Salem Oregon. They don't open for the season until March 24th though.
I live pretty locally in Portland but just also recently went back to pay homage now that the house has changed hands. Just FYI - If you actually DO line up the rocks to the screenshot of the kids coming over the ridge (where you are at the 24 minute mark) - the camera is actually a little further down the pathway, not where that barrier is. I made the same mistake when I went, and only later realized when I compared my photos at home! :D Hope you went to see the SHort Circuit home too - its now an AirBnB and has been re-painted to the movie colors. (it was also bought by a fan who embraces the nostalgia)
Oregon is such an interesting and beautiful place. I sort of like the pro vs anti Goonies neighborhood conflict. It just adds to the lore of this amazing film.
Thanks for the update, I'm really glad to see that the new owner is honoring the legacy of the film. I'm heading up that way next week, and have been wanting to see this for YEARS, so I might veer off course and make it to Astoria finally.
Good job Adam! with the filming locations of the Goonies. Grew up in the 80's myself, this is one of my favorite movies from that decade. There was a lot of good movies from then. This one is at the top of the list with E.T., Back to the Future, and Poltergeist! As you can tell I'm a huge Speilberg fan. Goonies Never Die!
I am going to throw this out there now. On March 28th, it will be the 60th anniversary of the release of Hitchcock's The Birds. Would LOVE to see you do a filming location/celebration vid for it. May have other plans, but at some point this year, do San Francisco and Bodega Bay.
The 80's was TRULY the greatest decade for movies and sports!!!!
Truth
And toys
And music!!

I was 7, turned 8 after Thanksgiving... This movie was right on the money back then!
How old are u now like 60 sommet

@@chestyvulva As opposed to the blatant Satanic award shows and vile sin of today?🙄
The 80s and 90s were the last days of a somewhat great America, it's all gone now.
The 80s were the greatest. A lot of that carried into the 90s, which were also pretty great. 😀
@@chestyvulva Thats because of smart phones and social media.....the 80s were way better
Watching Super 8 took me back....
✨heavy sigh✨
I was finally in town recently as well. I fell in love with Astoria for several reasons, and this movie was a big part of the ensuing romance lol.
Agreed . Such a great place

Love The Goonies and all of Corey Feldman movies ❤️ My childhood favourites.
Beautiful area there, the beach ⛱️ 😍
YESSSSSSS!!!!! Had a feeling you'd be heading that way. You kinda gave it away when you chose the movie on the plane! Love this movie!

I absolutely love the way you do filming locations. This was a great one from the goonies my wife and I spent a weekend in Chicago filming the home alone Ferris Bueller, planes trains and automobiles and uncle Buck houses and filming locations. It was actually more exciting than I ever thought.
I cannot thank you enough!! Astoria is one of my favorite cities (only beat out by St Augustine, Fl) and I have sorely missed it lately. I have never seen the Goonies but thank you for going to this beautiful city.
Ive been there numerous times over the years and also have watched other vloggers experiences but I'm laughing along with you Adam, cause I love how the child comes out in you just being blown away with these locations. Its a beautiful part of the country. Can't believe you waited so long to cover this one, glad you did, keep on trekkin'!
I haven't heard you so excited and happy to do a filming location video in a very long time! Thanks for the hard work to make our days more enjoyable!
agree
Thanks Adam, so nice to have you in the Neighborhood
Just an hr south from where I live. Love it there. Welcome to the Oregon Coast. My favorite place ever!! So beautiful.
Your enthusiasm for this is EXACTLY how I would be if I ever get the opportunity to visit the filming locations. I have loved The Goonies ever since I was a kid and watched it over thirty years ago. Your excitement sums it all up and I'm so glad you managed to go. What's also really heartwarming is that the residents appear to fully embrace the legacy. Goonies never say die! Great video, Adam. Thank you as always, buddy.
Just do it....save up some money and go....life is too short....I just recently started traveling to places I've been wanting to go for the past 20 years, wish I didn't wait so long.
@@obijuankenobi420 this is sound advice 🤟
Probably known many time over, but Astoria Oregon is such a beautiful sea side fishing town and of course famous for The Goonies! Hope some day to pay an homage to in person and do the Truffle Shuffle. 🤣 Great vid as always Adam, keep up the good find and share it to the world!
I am fortunate to live here in Astoria. Glad you dug our town !
The Goonies sparked my love of Sean Astin and Ke Huy Quan. So great to see him re-emerge in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
No weaseing the Jew-oose!
So excited to see this footage! Thank you Adam. The Goonies is such a classic movie. We introduced this movie to our kids… they love it too!
Hands down my favorite video!!! I’ve been there 2 times and it never gets old. I the Goonies!!! Thank you for sharing this video it just made my day better!! Much ❤to ya!!
Excellent coverage of goonie locations. Ive seen that movie so many times. Love it. I met Robert Davi (Jake) while he was filming Raw Deal in Wilmington, NC in 85/86. Fresh off Goonies it was cool meeting him. He was super nice and gave us a signed pic of a scene from that movie. Thanks for the nostalgia Adam
Amazing views on the beach. Goonies trip is on my bucket list.
Brilliant Adam, I wondered when you were going to get round to doing the Goonies film locations. You never disappoint !!!!!
This is so awesome and I love it that the new owners are Goonies! PNW at its best! Thank you Adam for these last couple of videos of Seattle and Goonies locations!!
Glad you finally made it here to my state...there are a lot more movies that were filmed in Oregon...You will find Oregon is a beautiful state...lots to see and do here.
Thank you Sir for bringing us to the old but gold memories.
It's great to see so many businesses and the new owner of the Goonies house still embrace the film.
One part that I always wondered about The Goonies is if Chunk ran it by his parents first if it would be cool if Sloth lived with them or did he just surprise them with that when they all went home?
Neither.
He surprised them right there on the beach with the news.
It's hard to pick a favorite Goonies character, but I think Mouth and Chunk are my favorite. Mouth had some of the best lines in the movie.
One of my most favorite movies ever!!!!!! Love this!
I lived in west Oregon for three years recently. Just moved back home across the country for family reasons. Trying to get back out there at some point. Truly a magical area.
In 2016 we did California/Oregon road trip and we took a rather long detour to Astoria as we were so ‘close’ . I think we drove 6 hours. Astoria is beautiful but the main truffle shuffle house was covered in tarp and I mean covered because the owners had clearly had enough of people trying to recreate the truffle shuffle on their property. With that being said we still thought it was worth it.
Those people tried to embrace the Goonie vibe but so many people camping in their yard, leaving garbage, and just being disrespectful caused them to change their view. Hopefully people won't ruin it this time.
Pure nostalgia of childhood. Never say die woo, you're a true goonie.
We live an hour and a half from there and know Sandy.
Sad she sold it but happy someone who loves our Goonies now owns the house.
Here in Oregon, we are very much about OUR GOONIES.
we go up several times a year...to hang out. It's a great city.
Cheers!🖤🐈⬛
Hello Adam. Dave and I just watched the Goonies movie! The first time we watched it years ago we didn't get to see the whole movie. But this time we did! And we loved it! Thanks for bringing us along! ❤️⚘️♥️
I was hoping you'd document the locations. We visited several of them last summer (2022). Beautiful town! By the way, the entire Oregon coast is simply stunning.
OMGOSH I live in Seaside, you are one of my favorite you-tubers ! If I saw you in public I'm afraid I wouldn't be cool, I would go all fangirl lolol....If you have time and are still around, you should vlog the river walk. It's pretty cool, but admittedly cooler when the weather is nicer. Have fun on our north coast !
Wow❤️❤️👍🏻. This is one of the best videos showing where they filmed The Goonies.
Love how you give great detail of where the streets are, the house, the rocks in the ocean, the jail, the Fritali’s jeep.
You tell the story very well. I feel that I was back in 1985 when they filmed this awesome movie.
Great video ❤️👍🏻. You are amazing. Thank you for sharing 👍🏻❤️.
I am living for this tour! I saw the movie at least 5 times when it was in the theaters when I was a kid!
Yes!! I was soo excited to see this location! Thanks Adam! We love the 80s!
I miss the 80s
The shot you took of the waves crashing against the rocks, with the sea mist all around was awesome - just like in the movie. So cool!
So much to see in Oregon! Hope Your travels continue in this state
YES! You made it to Oregon, welcome! You still need to check out the Enchanted Forrestx just south of Salem Oregon. They don't open for the season until March 24th though.
Timberline Lodge is also nearby.
Yes...I've been waiting for this episode for years!!!
Thanks Adam!
Really enjoyed this video. Wow, that beach area is awesome! Great job showing the backdrop of an iconic movie.
I took my kids trick and treating at the Goonies house one year. The owners were so gracious and gave out full size Baby Ruth’s :)
I live pretty locally in Portland but just also recently went back to pay homage now that the house has changed hands. Just FYI - If you actually DO line up the rocks to the screenshot of the kids coming over the ridge (where you are at the 24 minute mark) - the camera is actually a little further down the pathway, not where that barrier is. I made the same mistake when I went, and only later realized when I compared my photos at home! :D Hope you went to see the SHort Circuit home too - its now an AirBnB and has been re-painted to the movie colors. (it was also bought by a fan who embraces the nostalgia)
Oregon is such an interesting and beautiful place. I sort of like the pro vs anti Goonies neighborhood conflict. It just adds to the lore of this amazing film.
Thanks for the update, I'm really glad to see that the new owner is honoring the legacy of the film. I'm heading up that way next week, and have been wanting to see this for YEARS, so I might veer off course and make it to Astoria finally.
These are the best videos. Classic Woo showing something really cool from a cult classic on a trip in Oregon. I miss videos like these. Thank you.
Good job Adam! with the filming locations of the Goonies. Grew up in the 80's myself, this is one of my favorite movies from that decade. There was a lot of good movies from then. This one is at the top of the list with E.T., Back to the Future, and Poltergeist! As you can tell I'm a huge Speilberg fan. Goonies Never Die!
I am going to throw this out there now. On March 28th, it will be the 60th anniversary of the release of Hitchcock's The Birds. Would LOVE to see you do a filming location/celebration vid for it. May have other plans, but at some point this year, do San Francisco and Bodega Bay.
