‘We were like brothers, but we scrapped’: the chaos and pranks that shaped The Goonies – by its cast and crew (www.theguardian.com)

When The Goonies was first released in 1985, the swashbuckling kids’ adventure became a resounding box office hit. Audiences were charmed by Mikey (Sean Astin), Data (Ke Huy Quan), Chunk (Jeff Cohen) and Mouth’s (Corey Feldman) rambunctious personalities as the self-styled Goonies, who were desperately trying to save their homes in Astoria, Oregon, from being sold off by a property development company.

Steven Spielberg is rumoured to have come up with the idea for The Goonies when he wondered what kids got up to on rainy days. Apparently the answer was daring exploits worthy of Indiana Jones involving a dastardly family of ex-cons and a hidden shipwreck heaving with jewels. It all combined to make a touching film about the power of friendship that was also rip-roaring good fun.

Forty years later, the franchise lives on with the announcement by Warner Bros earlier this year that a sequel is finally in the works. We look back with the cast and crew to find out how the film has endured as a cult classic.

No. Fuck you! Ruining more childhood memories with souless cash grabs preying on nostalgia.

Yeah I’m getting pretty sick of this. Nobody is asking for these remakes
