Overview
See production notesFacing foreclosure of their homes in the "Goon Docks" neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon to an expanding country club, a group of boys who call themselves "the Goonies"—Michael "Mikey" Walsh, Richard "Data" Wang, Clark "Mouth" Devereaux, and Lawrence "Chunk" Cohen—gather for a final weekend together. While rummaging through the Walshes' attic, they come across a 1632 doubloon and an old treasure map purporting to lead to the treasure of legendary pirate "One-Eyed Willy", believed to be located somewhere nearby. Seeing the treasure as their last chance to save their homes, the boys overpower and bind Mikey's older brother, Brandon "Brand", to get past him and make their way to an abandoned restaurant on the coast that coincides with the map. Brand soon follows alongside Andrea "Andy" Carmichael, a high school cheerleader with a crush on him, and her tomboy best friend, Stephanie "Stef" Steinbrenner. The group soon discovers that the derelict restaurant is a hideout of the Fratelli crime family consisting of Francis, Jake and their mother. The Goonies find a tunnel in the basement and follow it, but Chunk leaves to alert the police after being mistakenly locked in a freezer. Chunk flags down a nearby car to go to the sheriff's station, but it turns out to be the Fratellis, who abduct him. They interrogate him until he reveals where the Goonies have gone and begin pursuit. Chunk is left behind alongside their hulking and deformed younger brother "Sloth", whom he befriends. After Sloth frees them both, Chunk calls the sheriff, who thinks it is another one of his tall tales. Chunk and Sloth follow the trail of the Fratellis. The Goonies evade several deadly booby traps along the tunnels and obtain candles from the skeletal remains of a previous treasure hunter Chester Copperpot, while barely staying ahead of the Fratellis. They finally reach the grotto where Willy's pirate ship, the Inferno, is anchored. The group finds the ship filled with treasure and they start filling their pockets, but Mikey warns them not to take any on a set of scales in front of Willy's skeleton, considering that to be their tribute to him. As the Goonies are plotting their escape, the Fratellis appear and strip them of their haul. They then start to bind the Goonies' hands and make them walk the plank until Chunk and Sloth arrive and distract the Fratellis long enough for the Goonies to jump overboard and swim to safety. The Fratellis proceed to grab all the treasure they can, including those on Willy's scales, which triggers one last booby trap, forcing them to drop the treasure. The Goonies attempt to use a last "candle" only to find it is a stick of dynamite, causing the grotto to cave in. With Sloth's help, the Goonies and Fratellis barely escape. The groups emerge on Astoria's beach, where the Goonies reunite with their families and the Fratellis are arrested by the police. The Goonies prevent Sloth's arrest and Chunk invites Sloth to live with him, which he accepts. Just as the foreclosure papers are about to be signed, the Walshes' housekeeper, Rosalita, discovers that Mikey's marble bag is filled with some of the ship's jewels that had not been seized by the Fratellis and there is now enough money to negate the foreclosure. As the Goonies are recounting their adventure to the dumbfounded police and press, everyone's attention is drawn to the Inferno, having broken free of the grotto, sailing off majestically on its own in the distance.

Chunk: Listen, okay. You guys will never believe me. There was two cop cars, okay? And they were chasin' this four-wheel deal, this real neat ORV, and there were bullets flyin' all over the place. It was the most amazing thing I ever saw! Mikey: More amazing than the time Michael Jackson came over to your house to use the bathroom? Brand: More amazing than the time you saved those old people from that nursing home fire, right? Mouth: Yeah, and I bet it was even more amazing than the time you ate your weight in Godfather's pizza, right? [This line was dubbed as Straw Hat Pizza refused participation] Chunk: Okay, Brand, Michael Jackson didn't come over to my house to use the bathroom. But his sister did. Data: 'Kay, Data, don't mess this one up, and prepare for the Wings of Flight! [swings toward the Goon Docks as the James Bond theme music plays in the background] Mikey: [notices Data flying towards the screen door] Uh-oh! Screen door! [to Mouth] Open the screen door!

Mrs. Walsh: Pants and shirts are in the second. Just throw them all into cardboard boxes. Forget the suitcases. Clark, can you translate all of that? Mouth: Why, certainly, Mrs. Walsh. Mrs. Walsh: That's wonderful. Mouth: [to Rosalita; in Spanish] The marijuana goes in the top drawer. The cocaine and speed in the second. The heroin in the bottom. Always separate the drugs. Chunk: Look, how's that? How's that? Mikey: Oh, you idiot! You glued it on upside down! Brand: [disgusted] Dork, if God made you do it that way you'd all be pissin' in your faces! Chunk: Looks fine to me. Mrs. Walsh: Now Rosalita, this is the attic. Mr. Walsh doesn't like anybody up here, ever. I guess that's why it's always open. Mouth: [to Rosalita; in Spanish] Never go up there. It's filled with Mr. Walsh's SEXUAL TORTURE DEVICES. Mrs. Walsh: This is my supply closet. You'll find everything you need, brooms, dustpans, insect spray. I would really like the house clean when they tear it down. Clark, can you translat

Chunk: Hey, Mike found a map. Look, look, look. That says 1632. Is that a year or some'n? Mouth: [sarcastically] No, it's your top score on Pole Position. Mikey: Yes, it's a year, Chunk. Look, Data, it's a map of our coastline. Brand: What's all that Spanish junk right there? Mikey: Uh… Mouth, Mouth, you said you could translate. Translate, right here. Chunk: Yeah, translate it. Mouth: [translating the text] "Ye intruders beware. Crushing death and grief, soaked with blood of the trespassing thief." Brand: You guys, this map is old news. Everybody and their grandfather went looking for that. When our parents were our age. I mean, I mean… Haven't you ever heard of that guy, what's his name? The pirate guy. One-Eyed Willy. Mikey: [hearing that name before; whispers] One-Eyed Willy. [remembers] One-Eyed Willy! Yeah, he was the most famous pirate in his time! My dad told me all about him once. Brand: Dad will do anything to get you to go to sleep. Mikey: No. See, One-Eyed Willy stole a tre

Mouth: Senior jerk alert. Brand: Can I help you? Mr. Perkins: Hello, little guys. I'm Mr. Perkins, Troy's father. Data: We know who Troy is, he's that cheap guy! Brand: My dad's not home, Mr. Perkins. Mr. Perkins: Is your mommy here? Brand: [sarcastic tone] No, sir, actually she's down at the market buying Pampers for all us kids. Mr. Perkins: [feigning laughter] Papers, Bill. [He gives Brand some papers] You can give these papers to your father to read through and sign. We'll be by to pick them up in the morning. Brand: Thank you. Mr. Perkins: Thank you. Mikey: Hey, what is all that shit? Brand: It's Dad's business. Mikey: But what is it? Brand: I told you, it was Dad's business. Look at 'em smiling. [Perkins and his associate Bill walk to their car and leave] Data: They can't wait until tomorrow when they foreclose on all the whatever you call it! Mouth: And trash the Goon Docks... Brand: When they wreck our house, I hope they make it a sand trap. Mikey: And never get their balls out

Chunk: [pulls out a can of whipped cream from the fridge] Oh, God, am I depressed. Mikey: If I found One-Eyed Willy's rich stuff, I'd pay all my Dad's bills. Then maybe he could get to sleep at night, instead of sitting up trying to figure out a way for all of us to stay here. Data: Yeah, me too. Mouth: Me three. Chunk: Me four. Brand: Forget about any adventures, limp lungs. If I let you out, mom will ground my ass and I got a date with Andi on Friday, alright? Mouth: [sitting on the counter in the sink] You're dreaming, dude. There's no way, 'cause that means her mom's gotta drive. Then you gotta make it with her and her mom. Brand: Shut up, Mouth. Mikey: Shut up, Mouth. Mouth: Shut up, Data. [Brand annoyingly turns on the faucet of the sink; screams as his pants get soaking wet] Jesus! Mikey: [takes out the map and opens it up] Guys, what are we gonna do about that Country Club? It's killing our parents. If we don't do something now, there's gonna be a golf course right where we're
