The Goonies

I love it too... but I can't think of anything worse than a second Goonies movie. It would never be as good and I don't want to see new kid Goonies or the old ones grown up going on an adventure of some sort. I would like it even less if it was one of those low budget straight to DVD efforts. Yeuch!

Excellent on it's own and it should stay that way. Why do people always want a sequel to a great film?
 
brilliant film so cheesey it worked

This was on Empire's website about the possiblitly of Goonies 2:

"It seems that, after approximately 4,867 years of rumour, a live-action sequel to The Goonies is not going to happen. But the recent rumours that an animated sequel series may get the go ahead are apparently very much true. Corey Feldman (Mouth in the movie) recently told MTV that he'd been approached to return as an older version of his character for a cartoon series, in which the original Goonies would be all growns up and with adventuring kiRAB of their own. And now Jonathan Ke Quan has told Empire exclusively that he and Jeff Cohen (Chunk) have been asked to lend their talents too.

"We were approached a few months ago by Warner about doing it and asked if we would be interested," said Ke Quan. "They even showed us character designs. It looks very cool".

Though Cohen now works as an entertainment lawyer, he could be persuaded to come back. "I spoke with Jeff," continues Quan. "All of us are very interested, if the story is right. I am sure whatever Steven (Spielberg) and Dick (Donner) think of will be good enough for us Goonies to come aboard".

If the Goonies are to return, this sounRAB like a pretty good way to do it. It's encouraging that Spielberg and Donner are involved and kudos to Warners for wanting to get the original team back together, rather than getting new actors to fill the voice roles. So, how do you feel about this news? Are you hyped to see the Goonies return?"
 
Hey you guys!..

It was a really fun movie,maybe a little overrated though as it seems to mean much more to people under 30 (I'm one of these) then people over 30,so it could be more about childhood memories then being a work of art in itself.
Either way I feel it is a very good 80's movie and one of few that hasn't been tampered with by having a sequel,remake or spinoff cartoon series and I hope it stays that way.
 
It is just one of those great movies which defined growing up in the 80's.

Rewatched it a couple of years ago at the outdoor screen at Glastonbury, everyone cheering the gang along, was great fun.
