Goonies sequel

It'll probably be shit but still a must watch, just because I grew up watching this.
Not very often a sequel is as good as the first, that's why I think the Beetlejuice one will not be as good
 
They all grew up to be shit actors. The charm isn't there anymore.

The Beetlejuice sequal sounds awesome. Keaton is playing a dead guy. Its not like getting older is going to hurt the character.
 
27 replies and not one picture of Iain Dowie? I'm disappointed in you

I love the goonies. I must have watched it close to 100 times.

I mean who wouldn't want to go on a goonies style adventure?

Growing up in Norn Iron was like a Goonies adventure everyday. Some of the shit we used to get up to amongst all the chaos around us, was unreal.

We used to dress up as Ninja's & hang around a fort (circular wooded area) at the top of a newly created graveyard. Some cnut rang the cops to say there was terrorists in the vacinity, so the cops turned up in about 5/6 meat-wagons & threatened to shoot us. So i called out: "dont shoot - we're Ninja's.." - they all pissed themselves laughing. feckin cnuts, but atleast they didnt shoot us i suppose...

Awesome story dude!

When we were about 8 Me and my mates loved a film that was very similar to the Goonies called the Monster Squad.

We formed our own team of monster hunters and somehow reasoned that a nasty vicious old tramp that lived deep in the woods near us was a vampire.

We sharpened our stick stakes filled our water pistols with garlic water and went to find this vampire.

We got about 500 yards into the wood before bottling it and then running home to play Nintendo instead.

:lol: Class man...

I spent a whole evening a few years ago, tellin Mum about some of the shit we used to get up when we were kids / teenagers & she was horrified.

I used to make world-class cap-bangers & even got kudos from the local IRA head-honcho in the area (not a great occasion). One day i stuck a shit-hot banger through the next door neighbours letter-box. A week or two after - he got lifted by the cops / army & taken to Armagh holding centre for questioning about IRA shit. He was held for 3 days.

So after due consideration, i went & apologised for puttin a banger in his letter-box. He said fair play, but his wife nearly beat the shite out of me. I seen her the other week actually & she still frightens the living crap out of me... :nervous:
 
It's a good film, but having somehow missed out on seeing it at the impressionable age you're supposed to, I never quite got the supreme reverence in which it's held. It's a zeitgeist film for a certain generation. Taking it out of time won't really work IMO. It's largely only 30 something boys who'll be interested, who are now old enough to be really, really cynical about it.
