Trivia
The novelization of the movie confirms that Chunk's parents actually do 'adopt' Sloth, going so far as to throw him a Bar Mitzvah.

Robert Donner unintentionally started giggling when they filmed the scene which Chunk starts crying, when the ice cream gets taken off him by Jake and it was kept in the film. If you listen carefully, you can hear the director giggling off-screen, when Jake takes the plastic spoon off Chunk and Chunk starts to cry.

Producer trademark (Steven Spielberg): [007] Data's belt has "007" inscribed on it. He also listens to the James Bond theme before sliding on the rope over to Mikey's.

Goofs
The "smoke of success" emanates from the bone pipe organ slightly before Andy hits the final correct chord.

The Goonies arrive at the restaurant and see the black sedan belonging to the two "Feds" who go inside. After that, the vehicle is inexplicably gone.

Mikey's dad's first name is established in dialogue as "Irving." He signs "Irving" on the foreclosure paper in the final scene, but the form actually says "Michael Walsh" (typed in two different places). (And odder still is that Mikey's dad's name is Andrew in the novelization.)

Q
Is there ever going to be a sequel?
A
During the cast commentary on The Goonies DVD (2001) there is a quick exchange between director Richard Donner and Corey Feldman. Then it's never spoken of again.Donner: "I don't remember any of this. I think I have to go back. Let's re-shoot this."Feldman: "Aren't we about to?"Donner: "Yes, it's a possibility."During his promotional tour for his film No Country for Old Men (2007), Josh Brolin - Who played Brand in The Goonies - was asked if there was a Goonies sequel in the works. It seems that you got a different answer depending on his mood.In this article he seems to lean to a 'NO' answer:http://www.reelzchannel.com/movie-news/781/brolin-indicates-goonies-2-unlikelyBut in this interview he's more optimistic. Though it's obvious by the Meryl Streep reference that he's having some fun with the interviewer:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-pBtmcByjcThere have been two video game spin-offs: The Goonies (1985) and The Goonies II (1985).
Q
Why did the pirate skeleton have daggers in its eyesockets?
A
When Mikey first tells Brand, Mouth, Data and Chunk, the story of One Eyed Willy. Mikey says that One Eyed Willy killed his men to stop any of them from stealing his treasure. Presumably, One Eyed Willy killed the pirate by stabbing him in both eyes with the two daggers.
Q
Are there deleted scenes on the DVD?
A
Yes. Note that the DVD box and the special features menu incorrectly label the deleted scenes as outtakes.
