=== [[The Goonies|The film]] ===
* [[The Danza]]: The Goonies' real parents — except for Mikey's and Brand's, of course — were filmed as their characters' parents in the ending's reunion scene.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Almost completely averted (e.g. 13-year-old Sean Astin as the 13-year-old Mikey), with the exception of teen [[Jerk Jock]] Troy played by 26-year-old Steve Antin.
* [[Deleted Scene]]:
** Data at the end saying that the octopus was very scary, which was cut from the final film.
** In the end, Stef thanks Mouth for saving her in a scene that was also cut.
** Another [[Deleted Scene]] shown on the dvdDVD shows the gooniesGoonies stopping at a convenience store and troy takes the map and rolls it and lights it like a big cigarette/cigar.
** The octopus is referenced in the ''[[Mad Magazine]]'' version.

'''Other girl:''' I ''said'' "I saw two big ''tentacles''"... }}
** In a moment that made it to the novelization but not the film, Mikey finds a primitive version of an asthma inhaler next to One-Eyed Willy's skeleton, just to emphasize the [[Not So Different]] between them.
* [[Enforced Method Acting]]:
** The kids weren't allowed to see the pirate ship until the filming of the scene in which they see it for the first time. Unfortunately, the first take wasn't used, as several of the cast blurted out an unscripted "Holy ''shit!''"
** Jeff Cohen, who played Chunk, was told that the scene where Sloth picks his chair-tied self up would cut before the actual lift occurred; it obviously didn't, and John Matuszak straight-out picked him up easily, leading to the kid's wails and cry of, "You smell like phys. ed.!"
* [[Hey, It's That Guy!]]: [[The Matrix|Cypher]] and [[Licence to Kill|Franz Sanchez]] are Francis and Jake Fratelli, respectively. Mama Fratelli was played by [[Throw Momma from the Train|Momma]].
** [[The Lord of the Rings (film)|Sam Gangee]] is Mickey.
Line 17 ⟶ 19:
** Sloth was played by John Matuszak, A football player for the Oakland Raiders and a [[Super Bowl]] champion. He had previously played the tribe-leader Tonda in 1981's ''[[Caveman]]'' opposite [[Ringo Starr]].
* [[Real Life Relative]]: The Goonies' real parents -- except for Mikey's and Brand's, of course -- were filmed as their characters' parents in the ending's reunion scene.
* [[Throw It In]]: Most of Chunk's confessions (except the fake puke story) were based on actor Jeff Cohen's life. According to Jeff, it was a different kid who was kicked out of fat camp for pigging out.
=== [[The Goonies (video game)|The video game adaptations]] ===
* [[No Export for You]]: Although America also got the "Vs." arcade version, the NES version of the first ''Goonies'' game was never released in cartridge form in North America, only appearing on the Playchoice-10 arcade units.
