Dust Off Short Round!! Seems A GOONIES Follow Up Is Slowly But Surely Rumbling Forward!?!?
Merrick here...
Clint over at Movie Hole says multiple sources (one inside of Warners confirming "a very, very good source") are saying that writers have been attached to a GOONNIES theatrical follow-up & that the project seems to be "inching" forward.
This isn't being characterized as a cheap knock-off a la LOST BOYS 2: THE TRIBE. This is a large scale theatrical release that's going to give the property "the respect it deserves".
There are a few more details in the article, including the revelation that Roberto Orci (Bay's TRANSFORMERS films and Abrams' STAR TREK) was, at one point, developing a previous iteration of GOONIES sequel.
Read all the details...
HERE!!!
There've been rumblings of a GOONIES follow-up for many, many, many years - so God knows how long it'll take this particular effort to come together (if it ever does at all).
This said, we recently received a few e-mails indicating that studio minions have been sniffing out possible locales for a project believed to be GOONIES related. The messages were too imprecise to report at the time, but perhaps they should be considered in new light given Movie Hole's report .
Know more? I'D LOVE TO HEAR IT!

My girlfriend told me once she'd never seen "The Goonies." We sat down one night and watched it. After it was done, she turned to me and said, "What the hell was that movie about?"
I dumped her soon after. -
Sad that Anne Ramsey can't be a part of this. Although, doubtful any of the cast will be involved, except Feldman, of course.

after ET. I'm really conflicted about this. I loved the Goonies, especially the Cindy Lauper theme song, but do we really need a sequel?

thats uncanny A-COD. My finger slipped on the return button before I could type my post but it seems you beat me to it - thats exactly my sentiment.
I love the goonies as much as the next guy, but it was a cheap runaround story with some fun leads, great characters and hillarious stereotypes. The respect it deserves implies...something else. -

Great minds think alike. As a true fan I demand a Goonies 2 NES game adaption anything less is undignified. Don't even try to cut out the Yo Yo.
-
Richard Donner doesn't care how many holes are in a plot. Donner doesn't care if he uses stock footage in a big budget film (see Lethal Weapon III). His name sits just above Hal Needham on my list of the all time worst directors! God sake don't let him direct this movie !

-
i asked what their favorite film was. he said 'the goonies'! imagine in over a century of cinema, he choose 'the goonies!' maybe citizen cane, star wars, 2001? no he choose the goonies. i thought it was very strange, but I didnt listen to my feelings... we went out for about a year and then it ended really badly. really badly... doctors should use the goonies maybe as a way of testing mental instabilities and social disorders.
-
I would love it if they approached the older characters the way Stephen King did in IT. PG/PG-13, of course.
-
Goonies + IT == GOLD
-
But I'm not sur I need a sequel. I would have loved one when I was a kid, but now? Seems like a bad idea. Luckily, this project will probably never be heard from again a la all of the previous Goonies sequels we've heard about.
-
I will suck everyones balls on this talkback.
-
I mean, if they aren't super passionate about cinema, it's a fun, exciing movie. It's not artistic masterwork, but it's a damn enjoyable film. Unsure about a sequel though...
-
Be careful with these rumors or Drew my smack you down. Oh yeah, and there will be no site.
-
After the Lost Boys sequel, I'm not optimistic.
-
I second that. And then I'd eat some cock-flavoured lollipop.
-
Hell Yeah! My memory is vague on it so I went to trusty wiki. I demand a faithful adaptation of this:
"Mikey must rescue all six of his friends and, inexplicably, free a captured mermaid named Annie"
featuring: "Konami Man - Wears a red and blue costume like Superman...If Konami Man is struck, he will cease being helpful, replying with, "I don't give energy because you hit me." Konami Man is also sometimes called Captain Konami" -
I think the guy who owns (owned) goonies.com had his own fan script, which started out with a flashback to when One-Eyed Willie was alive and giving hell on his ship. Don't remember much else about the script, but I thought that intro was pretty nifty.
-
Laura Donner kept saying the plan was for the Goonies to be all grown up, and their kids have to save them. And I thought AICN didn't report on rumors.
-
If I see Goonies the Next Gen I'll blow up the studio.
-
but I don't see the need for a sequel anyway. Rocky, Rambo, LW... all these sagas have to deal with some ugly duckling sub-par sequel that makes the last iteration a potential salvation, a decent bookend. Goonies, however, is a stand alone classic and should remain as such.

Stop listing Transformers for Roberto Orci as a positive credit
by bentley_bear
That script was horrible; action was fun, movie - so so.
At least list MI:3.
And Star Trek is still over 6 months away so you should stop listing that as well. -
This should seriously be left alone. Even if it doesnt suck it adds nothing to the Goonies, and if it sucks...pointless. Do they recast all the kids, considering they are all at least like 30 now? Of all the sequel talk of old movies in the last few days, this is by far the worst. This makes me sad. It's going to be awful...and if it is good, they could just call it something else entirely, not Goonies related, and it would make no difference. Capitalizing on a name. fuck you
-
It has been proven time and again in pop culture comebacks, reunions, etc. that nothing is ever as good as when it was new. But I'm sure that won't stop them from making this movie.
-
What's wrong with a script where Transformers pee on people, they can't walk around without knocking planters over, they're vulnerable to temperature but can enter atmosphere from space just fine, and the military places the fate of the world in a kid. That sounds like a perfectly reasonable script to me.
-
like that have every other remake/sequel of my childhood favorites. I can already feel my starfish tingling.
-
If the cast, Spielberg and Donner return, and they have a decent script, it could work.Just a shame that John Matuszak is dead.
-
can't write for shit. Can somebody give me one memorable line of dialogue he's written? No, didn't think so.
-
Bummer.
-
Roids....
-
but really, it hasn't aged all that well. The lead kid who keeps having a one-sided asthmatic conversation with one-eyed willy annoys me.
-
You understand the difference between the concept of FAVORITE movie and BEST film, right? I can make a list of what I consider to be the best films in history, and my favorite movie may not be at the top, or eve on the list, but it's still my favorite movie. Then again, I've never seen Citizen "Cane" so I may be completely wrong.
-
thing. Having the Goonies helping thier Children on some adventure would look lame. The original Goonies could say were too old for this shit. The new goonies would all be obnoxious generation me types, emo goth kids with no redeeming features whatsoever. Take this script into the middle of the desert and bury it beside the electric cars and indys nuked fridge and the black hole where Harrys Film producing career fell.
-
but it has so much potential to be horrible. First, can you get villains as good or better than the Fratellis? Second, if its about them and their kids (that was one of the rumors), please don't make the kids exact clones of their parents. Do we need to see a Mouth and a Mouth Junior? That would be retarded. Third, the adventure has to not just be a retread of the first one. Don't National Treasure 2 us. The best sequels are an unexpected continuation of the story (Aliens) or at the very least a variation of the same themes that were explored in the first film (Toy Story 2). But to just say, "They're on another wacky adventure! This time they've got kids!" is a recipe for a lazy, badly written script, which is a recipe for a bad movie. Here's my advice; get Donner to direct, the same cast as before (along with the parents, the fratelli brothers, etc), and have Darabont write it and fuck Orci. Why not have it be really good? Why hire the dipshit who wrote the abortion that was Transformers to do anything except for working the dunk tank on a carny circuit?
-

> Having the Goonies helping thier Children on some adventure would look lame
As I understood it, it wasn't the old Goonies saving their kids, but the reverse. The whole point of the Goonies is that kids are capable of having this impossible adventure and saving the adults in a seemingly impossible situation.
A new cast of kids bails out the parents. The parents were barely in the first film, and likely might barely be in the next film. -

I haven't watched the original for years for fear that my now adult eyes will spoil one of the greatest movies of the 80s. Holy shit I loved The Goonies when I was a kid.
-
The Goonies was a great film. Best film growing up. But the window on a sequel closed with the Reagan presidency. Great idea that's expired.

Orci also wrote The Island, which also sucked a bag of dicks.

-
Not another 90mins of kids shrieking and 'One-Eyed Willy'. Its like a perverts wet dream...
-
I know it sounds ike sacrilidge(?) but no kids. At least not as main characters. The only way this would be good is if the original cast came back as adults. They should all sort of be stuck in a rut in their lives and above all skeptical. They should all be brought together again by some kind of unknown "force" or circumstance and they would be forced to relive their childhoods, or at least learn how to be happy and young at heart again in order to work together to overcome a new challenge and inspire them to make changes in their lives.
-
Without Chunk, it wouldn't be the Goonies. There's no way all the original actors will come back for this, especially Josh Brolin. Besides, who wants to see 35-year-old Goonies running amok?
-
In addition to TR2N and this, also really looking forward to BUCKAR2O BANZAI, KR2LL, SPACEH2NTER, S2LARBABIES and MEGAF2RCE.
-
Those of us that were the age of the characters in the Goonies when the movie came out, (the 35 year olds) that's who!
-
Actually, it's "Buckaroo Banzai Against The World Crime League" and I'm still waiting for it after 24 years!
-
You guys just don't understand. Here's what is actually in the works...
The film opens when "Data" is a very old man. He has invented a time machine, but things go horrible wrong when the Fratelli brothers realize that the single event preventing them from world domination was the Goonies interference. They take the time machine back and kill Mikey.
Old man Data jumps back even further in the time machine and sees himself as young Data, giving him the mission that he must spend his life protecting his friend Mikey Walsh. They mind meld.
This will allow them to reboot the franchise with the new young cast, chosen from the minor little brother characters on popular teen WB shows. With today's technology in special effects, they will be able to continue the series with powerful, gritty, realistic special effects that evoke the feel of the original for all the fans, but improve on them at the same time. Internet rumors will swirl as to whether or not "Mouth" will actually appear in the movie. While the director and the fanboys really want to see it, the publicly floated story is that it's just too gimmicky. -
Now you're talkin'. Sign me up.

How many childhood favourites can one hack rape?
-
oh let it be true..lol
-sloth...luv...chunk -
Even I as a 13 year old when I saw I knew it was a shit. How about a scene were they kids don't all yell at the same time? That would be nice.
The only good part was the music video for the theme song. The music sucked ass be the video featured me and the Iron Sheik. What is next, a sequel to Hook? Now fuck off, pencil neck geeks.... -
Why not a sequel to Mac and Me and Cameron's Closet?

ffs when will you all get over this anal stop raping my childhood shit, are you really all that fucking pathetic, we were kids we loved it we grew up so what if they remade it and it sucks, big fucking deal, theres plans to remake my all time favourite film the thing which is pretty much the most perfect fucking horror film made along with alien and you know what, i cant fucking wait and i couldnt give a shit if McG, Bay or fucking ali G remakes it cause it wont change the way i feel about the original and give me a chance to see a kick-ass fucking story retold in modern times and if its shit, fuck it and if its good, happy days, same with everything that gets remade these days... get over yourselves ffs

or I hope it is a good movie. I could go either way.

But I would love to see Puke-ass redeem himself by bringing back Short Round in "Indiana Jones V: The Search for More Money for Old Geriatric Bastards".

Corey Feldman has dismissed long-running rumours about a sequel to The Goonies, insisting studio bosses will never let it happen.
A follow-up to the kids adventure has been discussed ever since the original film became a smash hit when it was released in 1985.
Filmmakers Steven Spielberg and Richard Donner are reportedly keen to reunite the cast, which included Feldman, Josh Brolin, Sean Astin and Martha Plimpton.
But Feldman, who has reprised his role for a sequel to another 1980s hit, The Lost Boys, insists Goonies 2 is too much of a gamble for studio Warner Bros.
The actor tells Moviefone, "Well, The Goonies is one of those mythical sequels that will never happen. I mean, it's something that Donner and Spielberg were behind for years and years, and again it's a Warner Bros. issue; they just feel they don't want to take the gamble on making the sequel." -
Finally Data is Back!!! Then w/ the huge success of G2, he will obviously have some say for the Indy 5. Fuck Shia!
-
Uh, yes, I know. You missed the point entirely.
-
It stared Jackie Chan as a grown up shortround and was called Armour of God, and another called Operation Condor, both awesome and better than INDY4 and The Mummy trio
-
Good enough, it's good enough, it's good enough ... good enough for me!!!!!
-
Charyou, for some reason I don't take Feldman's word as gospel. I hope they keep the guy who wrote Transformers far away from this though. If Transformers script had worked it would have been awesome. Who is this guy blowing?
-
Fuck Citizen Cane. And 2001. And any pretentious asshole that thinks Goonies can't be one of my favorite flicks.
-
I haven't laughed that loud in ages, "Goonies V's IT",
it could work.. -
Um... no I didn't. You were playing on the Tron sequel thing. It wasn't funny at all, but I saw what you were trying to do there. I'm not retarded. I was just stating that I wanted to see Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime World League. Maybe you should have chosen a movie from the 80's that didn't already have a sequel name attatched to it. Here's some for free: R2D, Tr2shin', The L2st St2rfighetr, The Sw2rd & the S2rcerer, Expl2rers, Flight of the Navigat2r, Krush Gr22ve. I could do this all day l2ng. It's easy, dick.
-
not Tr2shin'.
-
is a word I that comes to mind when I imagine what these kids look like all grown up. Please, let my imagination believe they will be kids forever. I've already seen what time has done to that Corey guy.

kinda like aicn has with the goonies news
-
presumably, they had enough treasure to buy back ownership of their own homes and surrounding community so that they wouldn't all be forced to leave. There's nothing to indicate that they became owners of some vast fortune.
-
would have to involve a new batch of kids, who receive help in their adventure from 2-3 of the original, now-adult Goonies, who see themselves in the kids and recognize that "this is their (the kids') time."
Then again, that might play against theme, because the whole idea of goonies was that they were on their own--they had no adult help, and when they reached out for it, nobody believed them (the cops) -
I loved that movie growing up but in today’s society could this kind of formula work? Back then family, adventure, and just flat out innocence were much stronger then found nowadays. Today kids play video games, eat cheese puffs and get fat and search for porn. Not trashing the idea because I would see it, but I’m not sure it will have a draw other then those of us who grew up watching the original. I’m also worried they are going to modernize it so much it will fail miserably.
-
Cuz it came from inside his jacket?
-
"Today kids play video games, eat cheese puffs and get fat and search for porn." - I was a kid in the 80's and you just, sadly, described a large portion of my childhood. So, it's not just kids "today". But, that doesn't make it any less sad.
-
love it or leave it, people
-
look what happened when they forced it with Indiana Jones. Those who *truly* love The Goonies film know that trying to make another is a fucked up, shitty idea and completely not goign to "renew" the magic and nostalgia of the original film. Hey Hollywood, try coming up with something ORIGINAL, you fuckers!

i'm just fuckin with ya. It's true. Or at least, by my perceptions. How many fuckin forts did me and other kids int he neighborhood build in the woods growing up? My friends and I even buried little containers of miscellaneous shit in randomw places, then we'd make 'treasure maps" to lead back to them...which we'd fuckin lose within a matter of months. We wanted to be the Goonies. Kids today all want to be Miley Fuckin Cyrus or a Dragonball Z kid or some shit I don't even understand. At least they got a good batman movie to watch again.

I like your observation, but I have two young cousins who I occasionally have to watch. One seven and one five. They always enlist me as Optimus Prime to run around in the yard and have imaginary adventures with one as Bumblebee and the other as Ironhide. The impulse for a kid to want adventure will hopefully never really go away. It's human nature.

-
Old fans would want the original cast, but kids (and probably the old fans themselves, when it's actually on screen) won't want to see men approaching 40 years old having a Hardy Boys/Little Rascals adventure. I say, get as many Goonies as you can in small, parent cameos and have new kids have an adventure and if you're old enough to have seen the original GOONIES in a theater...you're too old to care about a GOONIES film.
-
I don't believe when people, like Corey Feldman, say that Warner's doesnt want to take a risk. People, NO ONE, in Hollywood, says no to Spielberg. Warner Bros. would do it just because they want to be on Steven's good side for future projects. People talk like the budget would be 200 million. It would be, probably, 30 - 60 million. I'm sure the cast would be willing to take whatever Spielberg offers. I don't mean that as a diss, people want to work with Steven, however they can. If it's not getting made, it's because Spielberg isn't ready to make it. Like Indiana Jones, it wasn't Paramount holding up production, it was the big three.

I was too young to enjoy the first film, but I loved it on VHS and cable!
-
You give it another 10-15 years in the can and you remake it entirely OR as Buzz Maverik just said you make a second film that's in most ways unrelated to the original with maybe a few grown up cameos for the original actors. What you don't do however is pop out a straight up sequel to this. It doesn't work. It could never work.
-
After seeing them interact on the Goonies DVD video commentary, I can easily see these actors wanting to kill each other after a couple of weeks of filming. The egos of the actors who went on to prosperous careers will surely clash with those who've had more humble post-Goonies success.
Case in point: on the DVD commentary, Sean Astin (Mikey) says, quite sincerely, how as a kid he thought that Jeff Cohen (Chunk) would be remembered as a great comedic actor. Cohen takes it as a well-meaning compliment, but there's definitely an awkwardness there. -

by atomica
Now that's if they do it PERFECT. I'm keeping my hopes high for this one. This of ALL the great 80's adventures not only deserves a sequel, but could be perfect.
ALL the Original Cast of Goonies. The same look and aesthetic. A damn good screenplay, and a huge budget. Get Spielberg involved. Get Chris Columbus involved. Get Dichard Donner involved. This could be a fucking amazing movie if the the stars are aligned perfectly. Let's see the WB make some magic again... -
I didn't find it that awkward. It was rather funny and I thought everyone had a good rapport. Though I have to say there was some tension becasue Feldman would never shut up half the time.
-
My favorite part of the commentary was about 15 or 20 min in. Martha Plimpton realizes, that they are going to watch the WHOLE movie.
-
of the original cast. Since when has it been a problem having adults star in adventure movies?Why does a sequel have to have feature kids? It isn't necessary on any level, as kids today won't give a shit about the Goonies name, nor do they have a problem watching big budget adventure films starring adults.

by puddleglum
-
Doesn't make sense. They went all the way to Oregon to go after him, trap him in a cave, then blow up the walls all around to trap him in there. But then leave? What the hell would they accomplish with that? Understandably if they sunk the ship at sea, recovery of the treasure might have been very difficult. But 10 the ship was apparently very close to land (in a cave) and 2) even if they decided to trap him to stop him from sailing away, why wouldn't they have tried to blow up the broken cave walls to get in, go after the pirates, and recover their stolen treasure? That's a lot of questions for an imaginary pirate, I know, but I expect better from a Spielberg production....from the 80's, anyway.
-
I don't really think it does fo sho.
-
First direct a masterpiece on the level of "Superman: The Movie," then maybe you can get away with taking shots at Richard Donner. Until then, go back to the conrner and continue eating your boogers.
-
I really don't want to see a film with 30- and 40-something Goonies.
If they try to maintain the same tone, it will probably come off like SCOOBY DOO mixed with Stephen King's IT mixed with THE NEW LEAVE IT TO BEAVER. This can't NOT be a trainwreck.
I would have been onboard with 1-2 more films set in the years right after the original, but the characters are too old now, and I don't want to see some shit where they are the parents and their kids are the New Goonies.
...UNLESS Josh Brolin steals One-Eyed Willy's treasure and has Anton Chigurh track him and stab him in the face with a cutlass. Then I might be onboard. -
as a matter of fact don't do this at all, nothing good will come from it.

You've missed the point yet again proving that you are, in fact, retarded.
-
Both Spielberg & Donner have spoken about this for the past 10 years and the hold up has always been WB who thought it was not profitable as the orignal only made $4M in the US (although it has been a big seller on video & DVD for years). Not the original cast or anyone else was holding out. The story outline Spielberg/Donner want to explore is the original cast being the parents and their kids having the adventure but they also save the day. Could be ok as long as the script is more goofy fun.
-
...just like in the original?
-
Slick shoes!
Data ruled. Goonies forever! -
Hollywood should do this. Go back about 20-25 years. Start remaking the movies that came out that year month by month.
-
I've got 2 bucks and half a bag of Skittles that says this film is a horror show of epic proportions (or just a waste of $8). Yeah, I don't want to see the Goonies' kids, and I don't really want to see 40-year-old Sean Astin (Brant, or Chunk) exclaiming "rich stuff!!" I'm thinking that if there was going to be a satisfying sequel concept for this, someone would've thought it up a long time ago. The 20-year-gap notwithstanding, Goonies feels like it should be a one-off deal. These guys stumbled onto an adventure in their own hometown, they're not intrepid adventurers. I can see this movie going in a variety of directions, none of them encouraging. (1) Bonafide sequel with the original cast of lovable kids grown into into boring schlubs. (2) Sequel-in- name-only that has either no connection to the original characters or some corny, half-heared "wink" connection (Mouth's nephew goes on an African safari). (3) Children of the Goonies, where the kids of the original goonies presumably inherit the predisposition to stumble into improbably epic adventures in Oregon? I think it is possible that this could work, but highly improbable.

The only reason this is happening is because Brolin's star power is going up. None of these guys had the balls to carry a movie, and where the hell is Jon Quan now anyway? Make it in the vein of NAtional Treasure, and turn Brolin's character into an Indiana Jones type, and now you've got the Goonies with balls. Fuck Kerri Green. Fuck Martha Plimpton. Bring Bank Samwise as comic relief. Brink back Chunk, but make him a Ultimate Fighting Cage Wrestler. The only way you can brink back a fossil like the guy who plays chunk is to make him a freak. Bulk him up to make him look like Arnie. EVeryone will be happy to see Short Round back. Add in Megan Fox as Brolin's girl toy, and I'm satisfied.

Sloth, after living in peace for many years with Chunk, goes on a rampage eating Chunk and his entire family. The remaining "Goonies" assemble to hunt Sloth down and discover a new secret that affects them all.
"SLOTH EAT CHUNK!"

I'm sorry, dude, National Treasure part anything is a snoozer. And the idea of trying to make it a more "grown-up" adventure or give it testicles or any kind of gonads is a non-starter. The whole thing that made Goonies cool is that it's goofy, and campy, and their kids on an adventure. Josh Brolin all cool and serious with the others along for no plausible reason? Ow! Hurts my parts.
-
andget your friend Josh Brolin to buff up and Chunk to "chunk up" Rick Baker style.
-
Christ, just remake it or reimagine it or something. Only Spielberg, Donner, and Columbus could've made this good...like two decades ago when they weren't up their own asses. At least the original cast might be involved but that's only because those of us who saw the first one are still alive. Goonies was such a quirky kids adventure flick I can't possibly see a sequel working for the youngins today unless it's "dark" to some capacity. Here's to CGI Sloth!

You'd be surprised how many people over the years have told me that there was a Goonies 2. Some people even insist that they have SEEN it.
I saw the Goonies 2 video game at a used video game shop in the mall a couple of years ago and this idiot stoner clerk heard me relating this anecdote to my friend and then HE started telling me that I was wrong... that Goonies 2 was real... and he totally had a copy of it, but his friend taped over it with the Superbowl, etc. -
To laugh at all the jackasses, under circumstances like this... How many times has *this* one been announced? Think about it.
-
fantastic production design and acting, with a perfect melding of adolescent hormonal urges, fantasy elements, and (natch) detective work
-
set it 1 year later and it will be awesome, son of goonies would be a risk as well as 7 adults on an adventure
-
goonies is the shit! yeaaaahhhh!
-
...Sean Astin CLEARLY yells out "JOSH!" instead of "BRAND!" during the movie.
-
this film is about twenty years too late. The film is about kids going on an adventure so that nixes the original cast, and I just can't get myself excited about the kids of the original cast going adventuring. It's a missed opportunity.
-
Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio to do the screenplay. Those two know how to write adventure.
-
The point of this movie would be that kids who saw the original should be parents themselves by now and taking their kids to see the new movie. The simplest concept is that it's as much remake as sequel. Fans would only be expected to like it, it would be meant for kids to love. Face it, if the Goonies had never existed and that kind of movie came out now, would we who are adults now go see it? It's clearly a kids movie. A sequel would be a kids movie. If you want to utilize the original cast more, make some of them into the villains (to be redeemed by the end of course). I'm sure all of the living cast could appear, even if some are in telephone scenes.
-
they treat it with more respect than they (Spielberg) did with Indy IV. I always thought that Mikey would be so enchanted by the experience in GOONIES that he would seek out treasure in his adult life. Kinda like Bill Paxton in Titanic, he would be a modern treasure seeker. The person who said that it should be like National Treasure is right on. Using an adult Mikey as the lead is the only way this works. You need to keep the ties to the original, otherwise it's SANDLOT 2, or SON OF THE MASK.
-
that it shouldn't be an exciting family film. It should. I like the idea of having kids in it, but not simply a group of new kids, but some of the old crew and maybe one or two of their kids. Perhaps Brandon and Andy got married and had kids, but Mikey doesn't. I can picture Uncle Mikey using the events of the first film as a bedtime story for their kids.
-
Joan Rivers could be Sloth if so?
-
The Goonies did not make $4M US, it made $61M. I saw it in the theatre and remember it being a decent size hit with the public. In 1985, $61M, is a lot more than today.
-
I thought it was great. really sinister for its time. really dark. I loved the scene where the guy gets attacked at the dinner while eating a cooked chicken and it comes alive and kills him. May favourite scene is where watson gets one of those darts in the back of the neck and he is passing a cake ahop and buys some creams cakes to stuff his face and they come alive. really great film and I loved the fact that Holmes was rebel.
-
they should have gone with the whole christ's flesh on the golden thorn idea. IT would have been controversial. BUt it would have been...this is lucas we are talking about...and that means utter shite. unless they do a young indy film. but lucas did say no indiana jones without ford.
-
Please Hollywood, leave my childhood greats alone! How about doing something FUCKING original instead of a hack job, 20 years too late sequel!
