@Mary Cherry did you notice that Josh Brolin (Thanos) is in this movie? along with Sean Astin (Sam Wise) is little Mikey
OK, so perhaps "The Goonies" isn't exactly a 'nice' kids' movie. But it's a *real* kids' movie.
Definite influence on "Stranger Things." Yes, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin, and KH Quan have been around FOREVER. It's been so many years--- I actually forgot how they go full "It's a Wonderful Life" at the end.
Respect your OutKast love.
Us kids in the 1980s were tougher than kids today, I don't remember being that scared. This might have been before the PG-13 rating existed though...
each gem was at least 80-90 carat gems that would go for 6 Figures at most but since it they are from One Eyed Willy's lost treasure then you are talking 1-2 million per gem since the gems have a historic story behind them... history of a gem can triple or quadruple the value of a gem/gems especially history tied to pirates...Yo-Ho Matey!! that is why Pirates are Awesome
There's no vape in 1985!😂
I watched this as a kid back in the day multiple times. We were built differently.
Yea I miss being a kid.
Oh yea, we built different. It is lot fun too. Throwing rocks and cycling through towns, and sometimes watching TV outside the shop
It's not the kids that are built different, it's the parents.
@@benoitcecyre7081 agreed
@@aminhaekal5709 Yeah I rode bikes all day, and we didn't even know what a bicycle helmet was. We would have definitely made fun of any kid wearing one.
Mary: "These kids remind my of the Stranger Things kids."
That's because the Stranger Things kids were inspired by these kids.
Literally Goonies never say die 35 years later Stranger things kids "friends don't lie"
And one of these kids became a Stranger Things adult!
This movie always gave me this gut feeling of adventure and wonder when I was a kid. The 80's movies rocks
Yeeeeeeessssss! This made me so happy, i saw this on the big screen 8 yrs old😁😀
School-age kids entertainment was different back in the 80's. They weren't afraid of showing death and bodies as long as it wasn't gruesome. Even cartoons had people dying.
@@WolvesPlaysGames plus, I think alot of cartoons had adult hidden inside jokes and pretty sure they can swear to as well
Even the soundtrack had a bit of a mystery and wonder to it I wasn’t born in the 80s but my mom still put this on for me when I was a kid and I actually enjoyed this film but some parts scared me as a kid.
I was 12 when it came out and I was so mesmerized by it I saw it 11 times at the theatre
As someone who was a kid in the 80s, we expected our kids movies to be at least a little traumatizing! Goonies, Neverending Story, The Dark Crystal, The Secret of Nimh, all the best kids movies had things in them that freaked us out!
Goes back to the old Fairy Tales. Used to be that we told those stories to kid (and they got dark AF) to prepare them for the world. Nowadays, kids are being a bit too sheltered.
Watership Down....
@@RaderizDorret oofta Artax and the swamp of sadness
Alien, Predator, Terminator, my childhood, we gave no fucks
Anybody remember D.A.R.Y.L?
Was it as good as I think I remember?
Another good movie with Child actors is “Stand By Me”(1986). If you haven’t already reacted to it, I highly recommend you do so.
Echo that, although would change good to be great, it’s in my top 10 all time 👍🇬🇧
Stand By Me is a must watch
PLEASE do stand by me 🙏
Iconic 80s film along with The Goonies
Yes, the actor who played Data in this movie also played Short Round (Shorty) in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” 🙂
Also worth noting, he has recently returned to acting in the movie Everything, everywhere, all at once. He plays the husband and has some great martial arts moves.
@@benoitcecyre7081 For a while he worked as a fight choreographer I think.
I definitely recommend "Everything Everywhere All at Once" for anyone that hasn't seen it. Ke Huy Quan is amazing in it, as is the entire cast.
@@benoitcecyre7081 He deserves an oscar nomination for his role in that.
@@benoitcecyre7081 I was just about to post *ALL OF THIS!*
80's kids movies were always scary: Goonies, Labyrinth, Secret of NIMH, An American Tail (well, most of Don Bluth's early ouvre)
Don't forget Gremlins
Some scary stuff in The NeverEnding Story, E.T. and Honey, I Shrunk The Kids also.
And some count Willow and The Last Starfighter.
EDIT: And Return To Oz (which I thought was early 90s)!
The Dark Crystal
Jumanji
@@aminhaekal5709 Jumanji is 90's, but the point still stands.
R.I.P Richard Donner who was a brilliant director. He told the kids when to look as the reveal of One-Eyed Willy's ship.
Haha. Children can handle more than we think. Where I´m from (Sweden), our most famous childrens author, Astrid Lindgren, (probably most famous abroad for Pippi Longstocking) dealt with quite dark themes in her stories. Yeah, it was scary sometimes, but I don´t think we Swedes were traumatized for life :)
Roland Dahl was also know for adult topics in children's books...
Heck yeah, The Children of Noisy Village!
I saw Jaws, Halloween and Conan the barbarian before I was 6. Society has gone a bit off about this for me. People don't seem to get that it's not real.
I started reading Stephen King when I was nine and I'm totally fine. (Starts burning the crotch area of a Barbie.)
Any good children's book must flirt with darkness.
It's not a coincidence that so many things remind you of Stranger Things. It is inspired by exactly these kinds of iconic eighties movies, and The Goonies is one of the most iconic ones and a major influence on Stranger Things.
Now this showing my age, but I went this movie as a kid. I had a great time in the theater. This movie is a great kids movie. Action, adventure, and a little bit of fantasy. Kids are a lot tougher than you think. If you decide to have kids. You need to realize that when raising children. You need to be raising future adults. Yes, you do want to shelter kids from a certain amount of real horrors in the world, but sooner or later you need to let go.
I hear you on this one. I was a youngster when I saw this as well. Oh the memories.
Saw it 2 times myself in the summer of '85. Different times.
"Ooh, that's symbolic!"
Sloth ripping open his shirt to the Superman theme, pointing to the S, and saying "Sloth!", is one of my favorite moments.
I don't know about symbolic.. But it's a great in-joke from director Richard Donner who also directed the first Christopher Reeve led "Superman".. always put a huge grin on my face.
@@mcgilj1 I think that’s part of how they were allowed to play the actual Superman theme even.
@@elzar760 that... Warner Bros. plus having Spielberg as your producer definely can't hurt
Lady, the 80's and 90's were MUCH cooler about treating kids closer to adults than they are in our lameass days.
It's a kids film because the ratings for movies in the 70s and 80s was way more relaxed
was the correct ratings back then
@@russellward4624 Well, aside from what sexual or queer themes could be allowed in movies.
@@christopherb501 Which should be zero.
My favorite scene is the Cindy Lauper "The Goonies Are Good Enough". That scene is just a nostalgia bomb for me, takes back to a more innocent time in elementary school days.
"Is this a kids' movie?!" Actually, yes. Too many "well-meaning" adults would probably banish all types of scary images from stories. TV and movies to "protect" children, which on the surface is OK. But exposing kids to such scenes -- and really, these are comparatively tame -- strengthens their exposure to The Real World. Besides, how do you determine what is too scary? A friend once remarked that the Haunted Forest scene in "The Wizard of Oz" is one of the scariest scenes for a young child. It certainly was for me when I was 6. But I turned out normal -- well, relatively so. This is why today's movies aren't as good as the ones we grew up with. Too many well-meaning officials thinking they know everything about storytelling.
they don´t "Protect" the kids... they cripple them for life by overprotecting them...
Basically the blue ribbon for everyone mentality. Kids have been neutered in a lot of areas.
The Wheelies from Return To Oz.
Absolutely horrifying to watch as a kid in theaters.
Samwise, Short-round and Thanos go on an adventure. This was a favorite of mine back in high school in the 80s. I never would classify this as a "kids movie", just a fun adventure movie with kids. Love your reactions Mary. Love that you know "They're Coming to Take Me Away".
"Hey you guys!!!"
Richard Donner also directed the first Superman movie, The Omen, and all the Lethal Weapon movies ☺️
Richard Donner also did direct 85% of Superman II before being fired....
And also Scrooged and The Toy.
@@NightRanger-lz6tp - that's what I already said...
Saw this when I was 10 years old back in the 80’s, best Kids movie!
Also the pirate’s called “one-eyed Willy”. 🤣 went over my head as a kid😅
Sloth shouting "HEY YOU GUYS!!" is a reference to the opening of _The Electric Company,_ a popular educational show in the '70s, where Rita Moreno shouted it. Apparently it's a line Rita keeps getting fan requests for to this day, so of course it got added into an episode of her more recent show, Netflix's _One Day At a Time._
Watched this so many times as a kid.
Still very fun to watch today.
"How is this a kids' film?", you say. Kids weren't as pathetic and wimpy back then as they are today. 😆
This comment deserves a thousand thumbs up.
grandpa! how did you get out
@@iwillroam 👴🏃💨
Only because we were shamed for crying, punished for being afraid, and overall neglected and raised ourselves as an entire generation. It's not something to be proud of.
Yeah kids these days can hardly take a roundhouse kick to the head. Weak!
Yeah, this is a kids' film. It was very different in the 80s, of course, it wasn't perfect, it had a lot of problems. But there are some things that definitely were much better, and kids' movies are one of them. They weren't afraid to show scary things, smoking, death, and many things that are now considered off-limits for kids, because they knew that kids were smarter and tougher, they knew they could handle it. It also helped that kids were literally playing outside until it got dark, having their own adventures.
Growing up in the late seventies and early '80s, I would spend my summers walking alone in the woods, following creek beds for miles, walking along railroad tracks etc. I never knew where I would end up once I started walking. My mom would always joke about how she never knew where I was, but that I'd always be back at supper. Times were certainly different back then
Kids soft af now a days.
gremlins and temple of doom were PG-rated movies 💀
@@davidbeck7615 no, their parents are just modified snowplows. It’s the current crop of adults who are soft.
Yeah, we’d take off on our bikes and the rule was you had to be home by dinner time or else you were in trouble. Then if you went out after dinner in the summer when it stayed light longer, be home by dark.
International maritime salvage law states that a lost ship and its items belong to the first person or group to successfully retrieve and bring back part of the find. This means that even if the gems in Mikey's bag aren't enough, they give him and the Goonies claim to all the treasure found on the entire ship. Probably enough to keep them from having to sell their houses.
Most definitely a children's film and one of my most favorite as a child. But keep in mind, I was also watching Nightmare on Elm Street and Freddy was a favorite of mine. My childhood sweetheart and I used to love watching horror movies. It didn't seem to phase us back then as we weren't old enough to understand death. It was all just make believe in films so we weren't scared of it.
Ha. It never crossed my mind for a second when I was 12 (and this was new) that this might not have been a kids movie. Kids can handle plenty if you actually teach them to think for themselves and understand what's real and what's not.
I think he screams daddy because it is the country club his dad owns, and he is freaked out and calls to him to help
I grew up with this one. I was 11 years old when it came out, basically the perfect age.
I've seen it countless times and know it by heart!
It was SO FUNNY hearing you repeatedly say "How is this a kids movie?!", because thinking back at that awesome decade we did get a lot more adult topics in "our" movies back then... 😊
The Goonies is my favorite standalone 80s movie hands down. You're right though, there is a LOT of Goonies DNA running through Stranger Things, particularly in season 1 to establish the main cast of kids.
If you're ever in the mood for another 80s movie, Big Trouble in Little China is one of the best made movies of the 80s. My personal favorite.
Me too it's my childhood movie the goonies with Steven Spielberg
ha, I just got home from a party, and am currently dressed as Rain from Big Trouble (I took the hat off)
@@njones420 Tell me you had the backscratchers
@@diegorodriguez974 Damnit! I knew I missed something. :)
She just reacted to it, if you're reading this!
The 80's just hit different.
The kid who played Data ( Jonathan Ke Quan) also played Short Round in "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom", then disappeared for decades before finally reappearing in "Everything Everywhere All At Once".
Probably took a long break to focus on life.
He also has a tiny role in Encino Man. Which also stars Sean Aston lol
@@wellrocksonray8574 yup! lol
By the way, I was 12 when this came out and it was EVERYTHING. We loved it. And it stands up today. Super funny. And the kid who played Mikey is Sean Astin, who played Sam in Lord of the Rings.
"That must mean Josh Brolin is really old cause 1985 was a long time ago." Having seen the movie in theaters as a teenager I now feel really old. Thanks Mary!
And Josh is only 54. He was 17 in the movie.
I can't believe you even know the "They're coming to take me away" song, much less were singing it. I actually had the 45 when I was about 12. Yes, I'm old.
When she said "the parts of you that don't work that well will catch up" she was talking about his lungs! Get your mind out of the gutter Mary! 😝😈
You seem to be experiencing some confusion about the setting. The building above the cave is not the criminals' house; it's a restaurant that went out of business when the town's tourism trade dried up. The Fratellis set up shop there temporarily to wait out the police search. Whoever built the restaurant probably had no idea there was such an elaborate cave system right under their feet.
If you enjoyed Ke Huy Quan as Data and Shortround, you should TOTALLY check him out in his latest movie, Everything Everywhere All at Once. One of the best films of this year. ❤️
Although I'm an 80's kid, I missed this movie until I was in my 20's and when I finally saw it I was instantly brought back to my childhood biking around adventures lol. It's never too late to see great movies :)
"Goonie's Never Say Die!" Greetings from Oregon where this classic was filmed.
Martha Plimpton was in this (teen with glasses). She was in a number of good movies and the long running sitcom Raising Hope after this.
And Running on Empty with the late River Phoenix
@@Hortonfantastic4 and the mosquito coast, that's a lesser known but very good film also, she and river were in both..I think they were dating at the time
Kids in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's we a hell of a lot tougher, mentally and physically, than the little buttercups of the 2000's and today. 😄
true story from an 80's kid:
my parents were going to the video store and asked if i wanted to rent anything. i asked for The Goonies. for some reason, they thought i wanted to rent schlockey b-horror movie The Ghoulies. instead of the movie i had been dying to see, i got evil Tribbles.
why the hell my parents would think i wanted that instead of, ya know, the biggest kid's movie on the planet at the time, is beyond me.
The fact that they were from a buried treasure so many centuries ago would make them worth it for sure
Love this movie!! At the part where the kids seen the pirate ship, those were the kids real reactions. When they were making the movie they never told them about the ship.
Love this film brings it back to my childhood. It was such a tragic ending for John Matuszak who played sloth he was 38 when he died so sad.
Thanos and Samwise look quite different as this age, eh? xD
I saw this in the theater as a teen. It was never billed as a kid's movie which were rated 'G' for 'General Audiences'.
Goonies was rated 'PG' for "Parental Guidance'.
Oh, I thought it was Cable.
@@TheMimiSard It is. Brolin played Cable and Thanos.
I just think of him as the dude in "Thrashin'"...
Hey Mary, glad you enjoyed The Goonies. I watched it in the theaters 3 times when I was a kid. Still to this day it’s my favorite children’s film. And, I was not traumatized when I watched it back in ‘85. 🤔☺️
..why would you be?
Goonies never say die!
ANDI! YOU GOONIE!
I crack up everytime I see Chunk's re-enacting his puking story.😂
When this movie came out i was about the same age as the kids in it. It was amazing! Recreating this and Indiana Jones made up half of our play time in the back yards! And incidentally, always nice to find another Dr. Demento fan!
This is one of the best films of the 80's!!! I used to watch this all the time when I was little, and I've always loved it every time! The Goonies is probably one of the best works by director Richard Donner, who also did Superman, the Lethal Weapon movies and The Omen. I also love how this movie was originally conceived by Steven Spielberg and he never ceases to amaze audiences with the stories he tells in film.
i watched horror films as a kid, this was light hearted for me lol, i have NO IDEA what my parents were thinking but i also have a great and loving nostalgia for this movie :)
double extra points for you for knowing so much of the lyrics to "They're coming to take me away", a fun song to sing along with. A fun, silly movie. But I still can't help thinking, get that ship. They just stand there watching a shipload of gold and treasure just sail away with no one aboard.
GOONIES never Die. ✌️
Yes Mary. This IS a kids film. We were built different back in the day. 💪💪💪
😆😉
Yes kids weren't so coddled back then as they are today
@@scorp77snake
Exactly. 🙂
Goonies has this kind of surreal tone it was easy as a kid to pick up on (I was 9 when it came out) that what we're seeing is more cartoony than real.
Once flawless gems get beyond a certain size they increase exponentially in value due to the rarity, so it's actually fairly plausible that gems the size of the ones she dumped out from that bag would be enough to save the kids' houses. There are cut emeralds less than 20 mm wide that go for millions of dollars.
The reason they call themselves the Goonies, is in reference to the area of the town they live in, which is called the Goon Docks. It is subtly mentioned once or twice through out the movie, so easily missed.
So the thing about adventure movies is that they used to be aimed at everyone, from kids to adults. The kids enjoyed the thrilling ride, the parents enjoyed the adult themes. And usually you went with the entire family (hence the later term "family movie" for certain kinds of movies). But that was long ago, and we're all old and grey... (waves walker at you young whippersnappers)
Yep it was a kid's movie, that's how we rolled back then. Even Jaws had a PG rating! But this was around the time they introduced the PG-13 rating for movies that were a bit too much for a PG rating.
Yep! If I remember correctly it was a combination of Gremlins and Temple of Doom that resulted in the creation of the PG-13 rating. Lol
@@mohammedashian8094 Red Dawn was after Temple of Doom.
Temple of Doom released in May of 1984 and Red Dawn was August.
Gremlins and Temple of Doom helped the MPAA create the new pg 13 rating.
@@mohammedashian8094 Ahh okay I looked it up. So the two films I mentioned were the crux of the discussion around the creation of a PG-13 rating, and that resulted in Red Dawn becoming the first movie to have that rating when released.
@@mohammedashian8094 It shows decapitation, dismemberment and a melting gremlin.....
@@mohammedashian8094 Red Dawn was the first movie with the new PG-13 rating, but Gremlins was definitely one of the movies that prompted creation of it.
This is a kids movie I saw a lot of growing up. Much better than what passes as kids movies today
This is a great 80’s film. Might as well rewatch “Stranger Things” since it’s based on the 80’s and the new season was soo goood🔥
The kid who played Data in this movie, also played Short Round in Temple of Doom.
And is in Everything Everywhere All at Once(2022) which mary should check out if she hasn't already
Growing up at the tail end of this age. Kids were allowed to get into mischief and adventures with their friends. Now people are having less kids they are more protective of those fewer children. You also can't raise older siblings to look out for their younger siblings.
Malcom in the Middle.
Duey is being bullied and the dad says "Reese" and all he says "I'm on it Dad." You can bully your siblings but Hell to the no for someone going after your own.
The 80's were a crazy time. They were able to get away with a lot of dark and twisted stuff in kid's movies. The PG-13 (no children under 13 allowed unless accompanied by a parent) rating didn't even exist in the U.S. until 1984. So they were only really starting to crack down on what movie content was appropriate for kids of certain ages. Often, they didn't even know what was inappropriate until a bunch of parents complained about something.
I never, ever get tired of watching this. Everyone is perfect in it.
"Goonies" because the area they lived in was referred to as "the Goon Docks".
Truffle shuffle LOL 🤣😂
Richard Donner was a very accomplished director, across TV in the 60’s to movies from the 70’s to the 2000’s. He directed The Omen (1976) and Superman: The Movie (1978). In the 80’s, in addition to The Goonies, he started the Lethal Weapon movie franchise, directing all four movies that have been made so far.
I'm impressedthat someone your age not only knows the title to " They're Coming To Take Me Away " , but can sing it too .
"There's no way this is a children's film" LOL...kids in the 80s were a very different breed than the cream puffs of today, most 80s kid films dealt with scary or dark topics that would be considered "too much" for kids nowadays.
Samwise and Thanos in movie together!!!! Glad to see a younger generation loving my childhood films.
as a kid, this movie, on a rainy day, at my grandmas house, on her old vhs player…those were the days
18:30:'They're coming to take me away ha-haaa!' I haven't heard this song for at least 30 years! Thank you Mary you wonderful crazy girl! 😊
And, yes, this movie is a classic kids story.
We had some hardcore kids movies in the 80s. "The Goonies" is tame next to the Disney trilogy-of-terror: "The Watcher in the Woods", "Return to Oz", and "Something Wicked This Way Comes".
Finally, someone who appreciates how messed up The Watcher in the Woods was for a kids movie. I remember having nightmares about it for 2 months, especially the blindfolded girl in the broken mirror scenes. Thanks, Disney. Return to Oz was messed up, as well, but I believe that it came out the same year as The Goonies, so I was a little older and a bit desensitized at that point, so it only creeped me out (but it probably traumatized my younger brother and sister).
Come on Mary how isn't this movie not for kids LOL 🤣😂😈
10:20 -- The house is still there.. It's in Oregon. -- Currently for sale for 1.65 million.
"What's going to happen to sloth??????"
Literally the goonies sequel we all deserved and never got
The 1980's is when PG actually meant something. Can have mild suggestive themes, some language can be used except the F-word, and violence too. "Parental Guidance" and I saw this when I was 10, which was amazing. Also, the Superman logo along with the music cue is a reference to the director of this movie, who directed the 1978 Superman movie.
And John Williams did the music for both
@@Drforrester31 He didn't for The Goonies, was done by Dave Grusin.
@@MyBeatleBoy60 Oh, you’re right! I have no idea why I thought he did the Goonies (aside from the Donner/Spielberg connection)
This movie and Home Alone is why the PG-13 rating was created.
@@tcshack701 Not really, that honor went to Gremlins & Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, came out in 1984 and were both rated PG. Extremely violent they were, then PG-13 was created.
Also that Pirate Ship reveal was real, both in shot and the way the kids reacted. Was their first time seeing it. Most of these cave scenes and the whole cave with the ship were studio sets. Hardly any green screens, except when Sean Astin had the Coin in front of the camera.
Jeff Cohen (Chunk) stole every scene he was in. I especially love the way he’s says “ok I’ll talk”.
This is definitely my all time favorite 80s movie. I do like how you noticed how Stranger Things was inspired by this movie. The Goonies character Mikey is what inspired Mike Walsh on Stranger Things. Dustin is basically a combination of Chunk and Data. Barb physical appearance is based on Stef. Troy character in this movie is what inspired the bully of the same name in season 1. Steve in season 1, along with his friend Tommy, also had similar personality traits to Troy. And of course, when Bob sees Will's map, he asks if it leads to pirate treasure. The underground tunnels the characters go through in this movie are what inspired the ones in season 2.
Stranger Things is definitely inspired with this movie! Same time (80's) setting, same band of misfits, adventure, etc.
That and Explorers and maybe a little Stand By Me. There's also The Kids Who Knew Too Much.
this is my childhood. i grew up in the 80s and its just a great reminder of where i come from.
you should check out Everything Everywhere All at Once. Ke Huy Quan is absolutely phenomenal on that movie.
Solving a pirate mystery, does put a smile on his face
I adored this movie as a kid, my friends and I quoted this movie so much. We still might quote it occasionally for old times sake when we see eachother. This movie is just one big nostalgia trip for me now, how I wish I could go back to those simple days
This was a kids movies because we weren't giant wimps in the 80s.
The same director also made Superman
Also Richard Donner is a goddamned legend! He directed the iconic Superman: The Movie which created the template for every superhero film after it including the entire MCU. He also directed the Lethal Weapon series as well as the horror classic The Omen just to name a few. He passed away last year at the age of 91.
Mary: "Did kids really do that in America!?"
Me: "Oh you sweet summer child..."
because the 80's was awesome.
This is in an era where kids weren't wrapped in bubble wrap and needed a safe space to drink their kool-aid.
This movie and Monster Squad were probably my favorite movies growing up. Makes me happy seeing new people discover this gem for the first time.
Omg, you really took me back to my childhood when you started with the funny farm song! Thanks for that!
Hell yeah! I've been waiting for this one! I hope you enjoyed this flick. This is literally a piece of my childhood.
Please watch the STAR TREK movies! 🖖
