Love this fact, because it's a testament to how epic movie sets could be back in the day.
Today, all actors get to work with is a tennis ball glued to the end of a stick. It's just not the same!
There was also a scene where the kids fight an octopus. It didn’t look very good and was ultimately cut.
But when the kids see their parents, Data can be heard saying “The octopus was really scary”, which makes no sense without the scene.
That scene was in the movie at the movie theatre too, I was baffled years later watching on VHS when there was no octopus scene. But if you've got the DVD it's on there as a deleted scene.
That line caused so many arguments in elementary school.
Edit: Did anyone else’s school have the whole “Goonies 2” arguments? As to whether or not it existed, or was spotted in a local movie rental place? People swore they saw it, others swore those kids were lying, it was a whole big thing. Worse than the debate over whether or not hoverboards were real!
I always took it as him just making stuff up, embellishing as kids are wont to do. It still flows but knowing that there was a missing scene makes perfect sense.
Yeah it works that way, but is pretty funny. Kid is chased by a murder family through an underground maze of booby traps and finds a pirate ship full of gold and skeletons. But he tacks on an octopus.
Reminds me of how they didn't let the kids see pennywise before the actual shoot in the It remake. Really good technique to get some genuine reactions.
Here's [Brolin himself saying that it was him that ruined it.](https://www.instagram.com/p/BtW_BFaAAqW/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=d2d6207b-ec35-4843-9dca-2f4ab51ad8bd)
I love that that Asian kid(dunno where exactly from) from this and Indiana Jones is in a big role after however many adult years' hiatus from acting! It's that "Everything Everywhere at Once" or something like that; my bro said it was great gotta see it for that kid alone. Great in both movies back when!
Not only is he phenomenal in his role in Everything Everywhere All At Once, it's (in my opinion) the best movie of the year so far. Highly, highly recommend it.
They had to shoot the water slide scene dropping into this cave more than once. Once the kids landed in the water they came up dropping mad F bombs on how awesome that was
That's the way it is for almost all of us that saw it as kids. I still remember my first time seeing it. We didn't have much money growing up so we very rarely went to the movies and didn't know anything about the Goonies. My Sis and I were watching TV and they showed a preview of the Monday night movie starting at 8pm, this was the first time The Goonies had been aired on TV. We instantly got wide eyes and couldn't wait for the next few hours to roll by so we could watch it. My mom tried telling us to go to bed at 9pm and we refused since the movie was only half over. Thankfully she relented and we finished the movie.
That’s a fantastic memory, and story! Thanks for sharing!
We also didn’t go to the movies, but my dad splurged on HBO so he could record them. VHS tapes at the time could hold approx. 2 movies so he taped Apocalypse Now after the Goonies. We were told not to watch past The Goonies and we didn’t want to anyway. But I don’t know why he didn’t try to group kid’s movies and adult movies on separate tapes. Like we also had one that was Follow That Bird (a Sesame St movie) on the same tape as Porky’s Revenge.
Lol! As a kid I had a VHS with Monster’s Squad, Mannequin, and La Bamba that I must’ve watched a million times. It’s still the trifecta of movies for me! 🤣
Love this! We didn’t have much money growing up either but on my birthday my mom rented a VHS player from Blockbuster and we watched the Goonies. Just me and my buddies eating pizza drinking Jolt and trying to stay up all night.
Me too. I also weirdly have a nostalgic place in my heart for the Goonies video arcade game that was in a local pizza joint where I grew up. Great memories of going to get pizza and a Coke, and playing The Goonies. Probably was 8 bit at best, lol.
I honestly don't know how you could make it any better than it was. Everything about this movie, from the setting, actors, scenes, script, chemistry were all on point.
This is not IATSE or union animator wage. And it’s not a collective for the whole team. For a practical set like this you’re looking at huuuge insane hours with at least 100 IATSE carps with an hourly wage of starting 25/hr (by todays standards). Source: was IA122 and work in film and theater.
Your information is incomplete.
“Set and exhibit designers” aren’t the same as builders. It’s the same difference between an *architect* and a *construction worker.*
Plus you haven’t factored in cost over time and cost of materials.
Think about it like this, If CGI generally wasn’t cheaper for big blockbusters over practical affects, they wouldn’t use it. Movies are a business and to make as much money as possible they tend to go with whatever is the cheapest option. Practical used to be cheaper, now it’s CGI.
Correct but man hours can be spread across mans. You've got like a dozen different VFX companies working on a single Marvel movie with maybe hundreds of staff. You can't get 700 carpenters in a set building a boat and the logistics of film making doesn't always allow you to build multiple sets at the same time like VFX does.
Also a ton of the hours in VFX is rendering which is just computing cycles and not actual man hours.
> You've got like a dozen different VFX companies working on a single Marvel movie with maybe hundreds of staff.
They don't get paid less because they're working at the same time as somebody else. As you said, time is money, and even a remote familiarity with anything to do with film production would tell you how much more CGI costs than practical sets and effects.
>700 carpenters
You clearly have zero idea what you're talking about
The reason they pay so much more for CGI is control, risk management, and market appeal.
Let's test it then, one person builds the ship, another draws it with cgi
See who gets done faster
Chances are building a boat that big is gonna take way more than one person
With cgi at this point in time, there's probably tons of different preloaded ships all someone would have to do with that is update the details of it
I’m confused on what point you are making haha. What I said was that CGI is generally cheaper, they use it due to the speed at which things can be done.
Does it? the comment above his made it seem like CGI is a cheap alternative. When in actuality, it actually is stupid expensive. I don't know how expensive building a ship like that is. I don't know if it can even sail properly so it is probably more of a fixed set. Which, if true, should make it significantly cheaper to make than an actual ship that size.
Now to some numbers. One of the most expensive films ever made, was Cleopatra(1963). Which spent $44 million, around $340 million in today's money, the crazy sets were some of the most expensive money pits they had.
While probably the most expensive CGI movie; The Avengers: Endgame(2019) had a budget of $356 Million. Which went mostly to CGI.
I can't really say which is cheaper or more expensive, but they are definitely comparable to each other. High quality CGI is very expensive. So the more of it you need, the more expensive your movie gets. Which works similarly for live sets.
There are 100s of 3d ships available online. But guess what, absolutely no big studio is going to buy them. They simply won't risk the potential rights issues, or the bad press when it's discovered they just bought a model. There are various technical considerations too that I won't go into here. But 3d models used in movies are almost always generated from scratch.
It's more about control. You film a set, you're stuck with that footage, so you have to do a good job up front.
With the CGI sets you can keep going back to it and changing camera angles or whatever if you have to.
They're trading money for a safety net. And of course, the requirement for skill. You don't need to hire experienced, talented directors anymore, because it doesn't matter if the "shoot" itself comes out subpar because it's just famous actors in a room.
So many older movies still hold up simply because of practical effects and how much on-location they did. Even if the movie is goofy, it just feels grounded in so much more reality compared to so much that gets made these days.
In San Diego there’s a marine museum with a handful of ships/submarine you can explore. One particular was the ship from “master and commander with Russell Crowe. Really interesting to explore and see the inners of an “old” sailing ship.
I always assumed they made the ship look big through "movie magic" techniques. I never thought they had actually built the entire ship. Super impressive! 👏
When I was a kid I wished that they would have made the whole underground part of the movie into an amusement park. That would have been the best thing ever in my 7-year-old mind.
How awesome would it be to own this whole damn set?!? Could you imagine...? I would never leave that ship!
Well, I *might* leave if only to jump off the ship into the lagoon!
Well yeah, its mandatory! If you're messing around on *this* set, you MUST recite that line exactly as it was in the movie at least once per twenty-four hour day.
I don't make the rules, I just live by them like everybody else.
before you could find the octopus attack scene on youtube, i spent years trying to convince people data killed an octopus with a walkman.
no one ever believed me or remembered it 😥
I know right? It wasn't on the VHS but I remembered it from the movies. Had to get my mum to confirm it existed.
Same with Beetlejuice, there's a missing scene from that that I remember from the movies, mum does as well, but it's never cropped up anywhere that I can find. The octopus scene from Goonies is a deleted scene on the DVD, but the Beetlejuice scene will haunt me until I track it down.
Me and my mates still tell each other that we look like sloth as an insult.
Mate - ‘Bro i feel like shit’
Us- ‘Well you look like sloth’
And
Mate - ‘Got some new clothes’
Us - ‘Did you get a new superman tshirt sloth?’
When you think about it, it's doubtful a huge guy like Sloth could have done all those rope and sail shenanigans. It would all be rotten, immediately disintegrate, and he'd plummet 30 feet onto his head.
If he got lucky though, the damage to his skull might be corrective. Interesting 🤔
So many questions. How long did it take to build? How much did it cost? What happened to it after the movie?
I remember being a kid watching this on cable on a rainy day eating a pizza in the dark. What a time.
I (21) once randomly saw it at my grandma's, rented or something. Or maybe it was on tv, idk. I didn't know from what year it was or anything, I just remembered it as "movie with group of kids that search a pirate treasure" (might be wrong, just how I remembered it), took me years to figure out what the name was of that "obscure" movie I randomly saw once.
Even more interesting...despite being a carefully crafted full size ship in what became a classic movie, after filming the ship was offered to a number of groups and individuals, and was basically available for the taking.
No one wanted it, so it was scrapped.
You know, it would’ve been way cheaper with CGI… They should just redo the goonies, don’t you think? Like every other crappy movie they’ve done recently

I read that they didn't let the cast/kids see the ship before shooting the discovery scene. That way they were all genuinely surprised
Love this fact, because it's a testament to how epic movie sets could be back in the day. Today, all actors get to work with is a tennis ball glued to the end of a stick. It's just not the same!
Dog actors love it though
Arf!
There was also a scene where the kids fight an octopus. It didn’t look very good and was ultimately cut. But when the kids see their parents, Data can be heard saying “The octopus was really scary”, which makes no sense without the scene.
That scene was in the movie at the movie theatre too, I was baffled years later watching on VHS when there was no octopus scene. But if you've got the DVD it's on there as a deleted scene.
Thank you for confirming that, i thought I had seen an octopus part as a kid. Back then we saw the movie at least 5 times in the theatre if not more.
That line caused so many arguments in elementary school. Edit: Did anyone else’s school have the whole “Goonies 2” arguments? As to whether or not it existed, or was spotted in a local movie rental place? People swore they saw it, others swore those kids were lying, it was a whole big thing. Worse than the debate over whether or not hoverboards were real!
I bet they saw the NES game Goonies 2 at the video store and thought it was a vhs
Ah yes, Goonies 2. The first Metroid-vania before there was a Metroid-vania.
That was my belief as well.
Goonies 2 was the Nintendo video game. I remember scouring the earth looking for the first goonies NES game.
I always took it as him just making stuff up, embellishing as kids are wont to do. It still flows but knowing that there was a missing scene makes perfect sense.
Yeah it works that way, but is pretty funny. Kid is chased by a murder family through an underground maze of booby traps and finds a pirate ship full of gold and skeletons. But he tacks on an octopus.
[Here is the scene in question](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2x_GjyzUcTI&ab_channel=GooniesFan). It does not, in fact, look good.
to be fair, Ian McKellen acted the *fuck* out of that tennis ball.
Reminds me of how they didn't let the kids see pennywise before the actual shoot in the It remake. Really good technique to get some genuine reactions.
And they screwed up the first take because the kids swore when they saw it.
Oh no way! That's hilarious
[Sauce ](https://youtube.com/shorts/_zN-SwzuSFE?feature=share)
Um. Not that I doubt the story, just would love to have a better source than some rando just saying that on YouTube.
Here's [Brolin himself saying that it was him that ruined it.](https://www.instagram.com/p/BtW_BFaAAqW/?utm_source=ig_embed&ig_rid=d2d6207b-ec35-4843-9dca-2f4ab51ad8bd)
Haha that is an *excellent* source!
I saw it reported other places.
Cool, again not necessarily doubting the information, just that as a posted source, would like something that resembles more of a source.
I don't know, I think Josh Brolin is a pretty good source.
I love that that Asian kid(dunno where exactly from) from this and Indiana Jones is in a big role after however many adult years' hiatus from acting! It's that "Everything Everywhere at Once" or something like that; my bro said it was great gotta see it for that kid alone. Great in both movies back when!
Not only is he phenomenal in his role in Everything Everywhere All At Once, it's (in my opinion) the best movie of the year so far. Highly, highly recommend it.
i need to watch it again. i fell asleep half way thru. was tired that day, not because the movie was boring. feel like i missed out.
You definitely need to finish the movie.
No time for love Dr Jones!
When he yells he sounds EXACTLY the same as he did as a kid. That yell of his is super nostalgic for me.
Short round! He made a mediocre Indiana Jones movie much much better.
YOU CALL HIM DR JONES!!!!
Data
I was gonna post this but you did it first. So I will confirm that I too read or heard the same thing.
They had to shoot the water slide scene dropping into this cave more than once. Once the kids landed in the water they came up dropping mad F bombs on how awesome that was
Indeed they were. "Action!" "HOLY SHIT!" "Cut! Go again!"
Bc the director is amazing and had worked with kids a lot including many years later with Harry Potter
And they reacted as teenagers would: "Holy shit!" The scene had to be refilmed, with the actors gently reminded not to swear.
Brolin said "fuck" I think.
They gave them extra cocaine that day too.
When I saw this as a kid my mind was blown. Love the goonies. This movie holds a very nostalgic place in my heart.
That's the way it is for almost all of us that saw it as kids. I still remember my first time seeing it. We didn't have much money growing up so we very rarely went to the movies and didn't know anything about the Goonies.

All of those movies remind me of my childhood. Don't forget Little Monsters and Drop Dead Fred!

Love this! We didn’t have much money growing up either but on my birthday my mom rented a VHS player from Blockbuster and we watched the Goonies. Just me and my buddies eating pizza drinking Jolt and trying to stay up all night.
This is the best movie that I watched as a kid in the 80s.
Me too. I also weirdly have a nostalgic place in my heart for the Goonies video arcade game that was in a local pizza joint where I grew up. Great memories of going to get pizza and a Coke, and playing The Goonies. Probably was 8 bit at best, lol.
It's been a standing favorite throughout the decades for me along with stand by me. I was an 80s baby.
Sounds like it’s time for a remake /s
I honestly don't know how you could make it any better than it was. Everything about this movie, from the setting, actors, scenes, script, chemistry were all on point.
Same as the cast. They didn't see it until the start of filming the scenes.
My sisters and I would watch it anytime it rained, in the summer.
It’d be all cgi these days at a fraction of the cost. Shame, it’s a magnificent set.
They certainly don’t make them like they used too.
They certainly don't make pirate ships like they used to.
No! Nobody *ever* made them like this! The architect was was either a certified genius or an authentic wacko!
SO BE GOOD, FOR GOODNESS SAKE! Somebody's comin'.... somebody's comin' to town...
>Nobody ever made them like this! Except for that building in New York.
Fraction of the cost? Nah, CGI is stupid expensive. More about speed than anything.
If “time means money” then wouldn’t it still be cheaper to do CGI?
Set builders are cheaper than CGI artists.

"Draws it with cgi" is a testament of your knowledge of the topic

I wonder what would be cheaper to make and shoot for all those scenes.
And there'd be 800 ships like it in the background fighting sea monsters, and nobody would give a damn.
Hey you guys..
Hey you guyyyyyyyyys
Baby Ruth?
Slick shoes?
Booty trap?
You mean booby trap
Thats what I said
Ruth..Ruth...baby? Ruth.
Holy Mary mother of god!
So many older movies still hold up simply because of practical effects and how much on-location they did. Even if the movie is goofy, it just feels grounded in so much more reality compared to so much that gets made these days.
I couldn’t agree more. Movies back then were more authentic.
wish they turned it into a playground or an exhibition you could explore..as a kid when the film came out..this was the adventure to have
There’s a similar looking boat in a museum in Sweden that’s super interesting. You can’t walk on it though, for obvious reasons lol
The Vasa, in case anyone wants to look it up.
In San Diego there’s a marine museum with a handful of ships/submarine you can explore. One particular was the ship from “master and commander with Russell Crowe. Really interesting to explore and see the inners of an “old” sailing ship.
i have been there and it is definitely worth it. Very fun.
That is one of my favorite films, I should go and check that out sometime.
I know the Deadmines when I see it
That's immediately what I thought of when I saw it.
I always assumed they made the ship look big through "movie magic" techniques. I never thought they had actually built the entire ship. Super impressive! 👏
Best film as a kid 😀 can’t wait for my daughter to watch it with me 😀
I tried but she was too scared 5 mins in so I have to wait a couple more years.
My 8 year old got bored. She still likes cartoony/CGI type movies. It's too bad as I remember watching the Goonies when I was her age.
the truffle shuffle scene traumatized me too
When I was a kid I wished that they would have made the whole underground part of the movie into an amusement park. That would have been the best thing ever in my 7-year-old mind.
“The octopus was very scary.”-Data
I had a PIZZA HUT glass with an octopus on it. Must’ve been cut up to very last minute.
Ah. Good reminder I’m long due for a Truffle Shuffle.
i really love that movie
How awesome would it be to own this whole damn set?!? Could you imagine...? I would never leave that ship! Well, I *might* leave if only to jump off the ship into the lagoon!
and then jump right back on the ship from the cave, yelling Heyyy yooouu Guuu^uyys
Well yeah, its mandatory! If you're messing around on *this* set, you MUST recite that line exactly as it was in the movie at least once per twenty-four hour day. I don't make the rules, I just live by them like everybody else.
Watch out for the octopus.
Just make sure you've got a walkman with Cyndi Lauper on hand!
that would be the best vacation location in the world
This > CGI
One Eye'd Willie... hehehehehe
Huehuehuehue.... Someone must have known.
They knew!
Oh wow I just got that. Way to ruin my childhood. Now I won't be able to hear that name without picturing a willie.
In the first draft he was named Thick Cock Steve.
Second pass was Well-Endowed Winston.
third draft was Hefty Johnson
Lol hahaha. You gotta dirty mind…. I love it
Breath taking. Magnificent
Isn’t it though. I can’t imagine how much time went into building this
Oh I know! Weeks or probably more like months. Yeah months for sure!
Octopus lore.
before you could find the octopus attack scene on youtube, i spent years trying to convince people data killed an octopus with a walkman. no one ever believed me or remembered it 😥
Same with the R/C attack helicopter scene from Problem Child. No one believed me until years later and I could youtube it.
I know right? It wasn't on the VHS but I remembered it from the movies. Had to get my mum to confirm it existed. Same with Beetlejuice, there's a missing scene from that that I remember from the movies, mum does as well, but it's never cropped up anywhere that I can find. The octopus scene from Goonies is a deleted scene on the DVD, but the Beetlejuice scene will haunt me until I track it down.
I'm sure the Disney version has it, just not the Warner one. That's without google....I dont know if that's true.
HEEEEEEEEEYYYY YOOOUUUU GUUUUUUUUYYYSSSSS!!!!
One of the greatest movies of all time. (Like top 20). Might as well asked to be roasted but I’m putting my heels in the dirt for this.
I knew didn’t need the title to know exactly what this was, can’t wait for my kids to be old enough to watch this
Me and my mates still tell each other that we look like sloth as an insult. Mate - ‘Bro i feel like shit’ Us- ‘Well you look like sloth’ And Mate - ‘Got some new clothes’ Us - ‘Did you get a new superman tshirt sloth?’
I got to see the scale model version that sails away at the end of the movie in Richard Donner’s office. There’s a little R2D2 on the deck.
Too bad they cut out the octopus scene. It did look pretty ugo, but still would have made more since they leave it in when data talked about it.
Today this would be crappy cgi and greenscreen
Looks a lot like Vasa in Sweden
It must have been absolutely magical to be an actor on that set!
It freaks me out that all of that is "inside".
Yeah in a giant cave.
When you think about it, it's doubtful a huge guy like Sloth could have done all those rope and sail shenanigans. It would all be rotten, immediately disintegrate, and he'd plummet 30 feet onto his head. If he got lucky though, the damage to his skull might be corrective. Interesting 🤔
Yeah, that was the most unrealistic part of the movie. Totally ruined it for me.
Goated movie
worth every jewel they spent on it.
I wonder where it is today
Imagine how fun playing “pretend” would be on a set like this, filming it, and making millions of dollars for it.
I love the effort that went in to real sets. They are just awesome.
This is one of my favorite movies! I forgot how much cussing there was until I rewatched a few years ago.
So many questions. How long did it take to build? How much did it cost? What happened to it after the movie? I remember being a kid watching this on cable on a rainy day eating a pizza in the dark. What a time.
This looks similar to the Vasa in Stockholm.
Before every movies CGI shit show now.
I (21) once randomly saw it at my grandma's, rented or something. Or maybe it was on tv, idk. I didn't know from what year it was or anything, I just remembered it as "movie with group of kids that search a pirate treasure" (might be wrong, just how I remembered it), took me years to figure out what the name was of that "obscure" movie I randomly saw once.
ngl Martha Plimpton got me on the smart nerdy girl train. The other one was annoying as all hell. Amazing movie.
Chester Copperpot
I'm not sure why but I thought the ship was real for some reason... lol
I can hear this photo
One of my favourite movies☺️
It really is a shame what CGI has done to stagecraft
Reminds me of Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
I've got a "one-eyed willie" right here!
That's called a One-Eyed Wiggling Welshman.
is this cheaper than cgi?
When Hollywood cared. Now that would be a Green Screen
Even more interesting...despite being a carefully crafted full size ship in what became a classic movie, after filming the ship was offered to a number of groups and individuals, and was basically available for the taking. No one wanted it, so it was scrapped.
HEY YOU GUYS!!!
One eye'd Willy?
Holy Mary mother of God. It's a pirate ship.
You know, it would’ve been way cheaper with CGI… They should just redo the goonies, don’t you think? Like every other crappy movie they’ve done recently
I’m not sure if I prefer the remakes of the 2010s, or the HORRIBLE sequels to everything that we got in the late 90s and early 2000s

I detest cgi… it never feels real
Chocolaaaaaate
Anyone remember the octopus scene? Whenever I say anything about that scene to anyone they have no idea what I’m talking about.
I have a one eyed willie
I was 31 when I finally got that joke. 🤣🤣🤣
It's a shame we probably won't ever have cool ass props again and just more cgi
One eyed
