06 Goonies, The (1985)
- Many sequences were shot but removed from the film:
- Mikey discovers that the map has a ``fold-in'' similar to Mad Magazine.
- The Goonies stop at the ``Stop and Snack'' store (which can be seen in the
opening credits) where they are harassed by Troy, who steals the map. The
Goonies escape when Brand arrives.
- The Goonies make Andy a Goonie by having her recite the Goonie oath. At
the end of the oath, she screams ``leech!'' and the group discovers that
they are covered with leeches. Data removes them by elecrifying a puddle
with a battery.
- Further sequences with Chunk and Sloth following the rest of the Goonies
were filmed.
- While using his ``slick shoes,'' Data slips on the log. Mouth and Mikey
attempt to rescue him and hold themselves down while being drenched by a
wave.
- While swimming to the Spanish boat, the group encouters an octopus. The
octopus is driven away when Data throws his radio into its mouth.
The octopus is mentioned to the reporters in the scene on the beach in the
finished film, even though the scene was cut.
- When Stef and Mouth are tied together to walk the plank, Stef offers to
share her breath with Mouth. In the finished film, he thanks her for this,
even though the scene was cut.
- One scene of Chunk and Sloth following the trail of the other Goonies was
added to the NBC TV showing of the film, even though twenty mintues were cut.
- References to "Gremlins (1984)" (qv).
- The original poster art (not used on the video tape box) featured the cast
dangling from the feet of another with the top one hanging on a rock. Some of
the newspaper ads featured slightly different artwork with the characters
drawn in a different order from top to bottom.
- The model ship seen sailing at the film's end has a miniature R2-D2 (from
"Star Wars (1977)" (qv)) hidden on the deck.
