Line 8:
''The Goonies'' was the brainchild of three well-known directors: [[Steven Spielberg]] (producer/story), [[Chris Columbus]] (screenplay -- though, at the time of this film, he wasn't quite famous yet), and [[Richard Donner]] (director).
The movie was named to the [[National Film Registry]] in 2017.
This film also had [[The Goonies (video game)|two successful video games based on it]].
Not to be confused with ''[[The Goodies]]''.

* [[Accidental Kiss]]: Andy accidentally kissed Mikey instead of Brand when they're under the wishing well. She doesn't know until the end, when she asks Brand where his braces went.
* [[Actually Pretty Funny]] Chunk's Confession. It starts out as the Fretellies wanting to know where the other Goonies are and they demand he tell everything. Chunk being a kid and [[Literal Minded]], confesses to all the bad things he did in his life which at first annoys them all. The confession had to cut away to the other scenes twice before it finished, implying it was very long. By the time Chunk tells the fake puke story, Jake is smiling and attentive clearly enjoying the story.

* [[Adults Are Useless]]: When Mikey's mom sees Brand all tied up, instead of freeing him she asks why he can't exercise like a normal kid.

'''Brandon''': That's "[[Seppuku|Harakiri]]", ma.
'''Mrs. Walsh''': That is exactly what I said!}}

* [[The Other Rainforest]]: Set and filmed in Astoria, Oregon.
