The Goonies include optimist Mikey Walsh, his older brother, Brandon, the inventive Data, the talkative Mouth, and the overweight klutz Chunk. While rummaging through the Walshes ' attic, they come across a 1632 doubloon and an old treasure map purporting to lead to the famous pirate `` One - Eyed '' Willy 's hoard located nearby. Evading Brandon for one last adventure together, the kids find themselves at a derelict restaurant near the coast, which coincides with the doubloon and the map. They encounter the Fratellis, a family of criminals hiding out at the restaurant. Evading detection by returning outside, the kids run into Brandon and two girls : the popular cheerleader Andy, who has a mutual crush on Brandon, and Stef, Andy 's nerdy, tough - talking best friend. Mikey convinces Brandon to return to the restaurant to explore after the Fratellis leave, discovering that the criminals are running a counterfeiting operation. As the Fratellis return, the group finds a tunnel beneath the restaurant and hides in there, sending Chunk to notify the authorities. They explore the tunnel and find the remains of a previous explorer, who also searched for the treasure, and Mikey is sure they are on the right trail. Evading various booby traps, set up by Willy, they find themselves under an old wishing well. The kids have a chance to be pulled out of the tunnel by Andy 's obnoxious boyfriend Troy, whose family owns the country club, but Mikey convinces the group to continue on their journey. Meanwhile, Chunk, who has escaped the restaurant, tries to flag down several passing cars, but is intercepted and kidnapped by Jake and Francis Fratelli. When the Fratellis threaten to shred his hands with an electric blender, a terrified Chunk reveals not only where his friends are, but also the existence of the treasure. The Fratellis tie Chunk to a chair and lock him in the basement next to Sloth, their deformed younger brother kept chained to the wall. While the Fratellis pursue both the Goonies and the treasure, Chunk befriends Sloth, and Sloth is able to break their bonds ; they form a third party headed into the tunnel. Mikey and the others discover the Fratellis on their trail, and hasten through the remaining traps. They ultimately find an enclosed grotto and Willy 's pirate ship, the Inferno, which has been sealed in the cave for centuries. They explore the ship, finding a hoard of treasure in front of the skeletal remains of Willy and his crew. Mikey gives a sober speech to Willy, naming him as the first `` Goonie '', then he and the others fill their pockets with riches ; Mikey insists that the coins directly in front of Willy remain untouched, as Willy 's tribute. As they leave, however, the Fratellis have already caught up with them. They make them drop the treasure before threatening to kill them by forcing them to walk the plank, when suddenly Sloth and Chunk arrive. Sloth, angered by how the other Fratellis have treated him in the past, easily subdues them and helps the rest of the Goonies to escape the boat. Though Mikey insists they go back for the treasure, Brandon worries more for their lives, and the group escapes through a hole in the grotto, eventually arriving on a nearby beach shore. Police quickly come to their help and reunite them with their families. Meanwhile, the Fratellis free themselves and begin to loot the boat. When they take the coins that Mikey had left earlier, they trigger another booby trap that causes the grotto to start to cave in. The Fratellis are forced to abandon the loot and flee to the beach, where police quickly take them into custody. As the Goonies are taken care of by their families, including Chunk offering to bring Sloth into his family, the owners of the country club show up and demand that Mr. Walsh sign away their homes and the Goon Docks. As he is about to do so, their housekeeper, Rosalita, finds Mikey 's marble bag in his wet clothes, filled with gems that the Fratellis had neglected to confiscate. Mr. Walsh triumphantly tears up the paperwork, as the gems are more than enough to negate the foreclosure. As the Goonies celebrate, the attention of all on the beach is caught by the sight of the unmanned Inferno, now clear of the grotto, and the Goonies wave her goodbye as she sets off once more upon the sea.

The site is now home to the Oregon Film Museum. Much of the filming was done on location in Astoria, Oregon, the setting of the film Principal photography on The Goonies began on October 22, 1984 and lasted five months. There was an additional six weeks of audio dubbing recording. The shooting script was lengthy, at more than 120 pages, and several sequences were eventually cut from the final theatrical version. During the film 's dénouement, mention is made of an octopus which refers to a scene that was excised from the final cut. In The Making of The Goonies, director Richard Donner notes the difficulties and pleasures of working with so many child actors. Donner praises them for their energy and excitement, but says that they were unruly when brought together. The documentary frequently shows him coaching the young actors and reveals some techniques he used to get realistic performances. One of these tricks involved One - Eyed Willy 's ship, which was actually a full - sized mock - up of a pirate ship created under the direction of production designer J. Michael Riva. Donner restricted the child actors from seeing the ship until they filmed the scene wherein it is revealed to their characters. The characters ' first glimpse of the ship was thus also the actors ' first view of it, bringing about a more realistic performance. However, that particular scene in the movie is actually the second shot, as the cast was so overwhelmed at first sight that the scene had to be re-shot. It was later noted that the entire set was scrapped after shooting because they could not find anyone who wanted it. In his book There and Back Again, Sean Astin claims that Richard Donner and Steven Spielberg were `` like codirectors '' on the film as he compares and contrasts their styles when directing scenes. Some of the on - location filming was done in Astoria, Oregon. The interior and exterior of the old Clatsop County Jail features as the holding place of Jake Fratelli at the start of the film. ( The building was later converted into the Oregon Film Museum, which opened on the 25th anniversary of The Goonies with memorabilia from this and other local films. ) The museum where Mikey 's father works is, in reality, the Captain George Flavel House Museum. The Walsh family home is a real home on the eastern end of the town. The scenes along the coast were filmed in Oregon, but they were a considerable distance from Astoria. The Goonies bicycle to Ecola State Park ( in reality, over 26 miles south of Astoria ) and then find the starting location of the map using Haystack Rock as a guide. Underground scenes were filmed at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California, including the cavernous set where the Goonies find One - Eyed Willy 's ship, which was in Stage 16, one of the largest sound stages in America. The final scene was shot at Goat Rock State Beach in Sonoma County, California. The film marked Wes Takahashi 's first major motion picture as an animation supervisor for Industrial Light & Magic. Music and soundtrack Main article : The Goonies : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack The Goonies : Original Motion Picture Soundtrack features music by Cyndi Lauper, REO Speedwagon, The Bangles, and others. The cast members ( except Kerri Green ) appeared alongside professional wrestlers `` Rowdy '' Roddy Piper and `` Captain '' Lou Albano in the 12 minute `` The Goonies ' R ' Good Enough '' music video. Steven Spielberg makes a cameo appearance. Lauper also has a cameo in the film, performing the song on TV, although the song was not completed until after filming. Dave Grusin 's score was unavailable for 25 years. The main theme, `` Fratelli Chase '', has been used in numerous trailers, such as Innerspace and Guarding Tess, and was re-recorded by Grusin and the London Symphony Orchestra for the album Cinemagic. The score makes liberal use of the Max Steiner - composed theme from Adventures of Don Juan. Soundtrack label Varèse Sarabande released the score in March 2010 in a limited edition of 5000 copies. Release Warner Bros. released the film in cinemas in the United States on June 7, 1985. The Goonies grossed US $9 million in its opening weekend in the US, second on the charts behind Rambo : First Blood Part II. It grossed more than US $61 million that year, placing it among the top ten highest - grossing films of 1985 in the US. The Goonies was first released on VHS and Betamax video in the United States in March 1986 and the LaserDisc and CED versions also debuted that year. Warner Home Video released a theatrical widescreen laserdisc on January 29, 1992. Warner Home Video released The Goonies in widescreen on Region 1 DVD on August 21, 2001. Warner Home Video released The Goonies on Blu - ray Disc in October 2008 in Europe and November 2010 in North America. The video is in 1080p high definition VC - 1 and accompanied by a Dolby TrueHD soundtrack. Reception Critical response Review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes reports that 70 % of critics have given the film a positive review based on 46 reviews ; the average rating is 6.1 / 10. The critical consensus : `` An energetic, sometimes noisy mix of Spielbergian sentiment and funhouse tricks that will appeal to kids and nostalgic adults alike. '' At Metacritic it has a rating score of 60, indicating `` mixed or average reviews ''. Several reviewers noted that the film appeared to be enjoyable for children and teens, but not so much for adults. Awards Ramsey won a Saturn Award for Best Supporting Actress for her role. At the 7th Youth in Film Awards ( now known as Young Artist Awards ), Astin 's portrayal of Mikey won the award for Best Starring Performance By a Young Actor in a Motion Picture. Cohen, Feldman, and Plimpton were also nominated for awards for their performances in The Goonies. The film itself was nominated for best adventure motion picture. Legacy The city of Astoria has hosted special anniversary events for the film, with around 10,000 to 15,000 visitors coming to the city to celebrate the film during these events. The home used for the Walsh family had become a tourist attraction, receiving between 1,200 and 1,500 visitors a day during the summer of the 30th anniversary, and in August 2015 the residents and owners of the home, their neighbors, and the city of Astoria have taken steps to limit public access to the home due to this. Video games Datasoft produced a Goonies video game for Commodore 64, Atari 8 - bit family and Apple II in 1985, which was later ported to the ZX Spectrum and Amstrad CPC by U.S. Gold. This game features eight screens in which a player had to use two members of the Goonies group to solve puzzles and reach an exit to advance to the next stage. The screens were largely inspired by actual sets and puzzles seen in the film. A reference to the aforementioned `` octopus scene '' is included, as the seventh level. In 1986, Japanese game developer Konami created two versions of The Goonies for the MSX ( The Goonies ) in Japan and Europe, and Family Computer ( The Goonies ) in Japan. The Goonies II was also released on the Famicom ( and its international counterpart, the Nintendo Entertainment System ). The Goonies II was released in North America, Europe and Australia, although the original was one of the NES games released as part of the Nintendo VS. System arcade machine in the 1980s. The Goonies II has little to do with the film. In it, the Fratellis have kidnapped all the Goonies ( except Mikey, whom the player guides ) and have hidden them in cage across a terrain of caverns, mazes and abandoned buildings. As Mikey, the player must rescue them all and ultimately free a mermaid named Annie. In February 2007, Chrysler 's Jeep division sponsored The Goonies : Return to Astoria, a Flash - based game, developed by Fuel Industries. The player 's goal is to collect map pieces and doubloons, and then race the Fratellis to One - Eyed Willy 's treasure. A Goonies level pack for Lego Dimensions was released on May 9, 2017. The pack includes a Sloth minifigure and constructable Pirate Ship and Skeleton Organ, and unlocks a bonus level that adapts the plot of the film. Proposed sequels and adaptations We tried really hard, and Steven ( Spielberg ) said, ' Let 's do it. ' We had a lot of young writers submit work, but it just did n't seem to call for it. -- Richard Donner The possibility of a film sequel has been confirmed and denied many times in recent years by the original cast and crew. Donner said that he had a story he liked and Spielberg behind him, but in 2004 several of the actors from the original revealed that Warner Bros., the film 's owner, had shown no interest in a sequel. Sean Astin told MTV in October 2007 that Goonies 2 `` is an absolute certainty... The writing 's on the wall when they 're releasing the DVD in such numbers. '' Donner has expressed doubt that the sequel will ever happen, as many of the actors had not shown interest in returning for a sequel. Corey Feldman stated in his November 25, 2008 blog post, `` NO ! There is no Goonies 2 ! I 'm sorry but it 's just not gon na happen... Course now that I 've said that, they 'll do it. '' However, on the July 2010 release of The Making of a Cult Classic : The Unauthorized Story of The Goonies DVD, Richard Donner states a sequel to The Goonies is a `` definite thing '' and will involve as much of the old cast as possible. `` It will happen, '' says Donner. `` We 've been trying for a number of years. '' On April 5, 2014, Richard Donner revealed a sequel is in the works, and he hopes to bring back the entire cast. Rumors of adaptations and sequels in other media took off in 2007, including a comic book miniseries, an animated television series, and a musical adaptation of the film. Corey Feldman said he was asked to reprise the role of Mouth in a cartoon series that would feature the original Goonies characters as adults and focus on the adventures of a new set of kids. Apparently this project was briefly in the works for Cartoon Network before being shelved. Entertainment Weekly reported in March 2007 on a potential musical adaptation of the film. `` Steven and I have discussed it, and it 's something that I 'm fairly passionate about right now, '' Donner says. Variety reported in October 2008 that Donner had met with Broadway entertainment attorney John Breglio, and is `` confident things are moving in the right direction. '' As of May 2011, the musical was still in the beginning stages, but Donner was hopeful that an `` irreverent '' script would be completed by October.
