If you are a member of RetroDaze and don't at least "like" The Goonies, then perhaps a visit to your psychiatrist is in order.
That being said, I really enjoyed the film as a kid. It had everything you could want if you were a pre-teen like myself in 1985.
Richard Donner is now confirming that YES, there is going to be a sequel... and he wants the whole cast to come back. I'm excited... and a bit worried. BUT, if he can get Chris Columbus to write it, that's reason for much hope.
Goonies never say die!

I'd prefer a remake or reboot to the old cast coming back. I always get depressed when an original cast comes back as they're all older and almost kills the magic of the first movie.

Chris Columbus is the genius behind epic films such as Home Alone 1 and 2, Mrs. Doubtfire and Bicentennial Man.

@vkimo: I agree to a certain extent, though I think it's possible to introduce new blood while paying homage to the old. Here for instance, I would be happy with the Goonies kids accompanying them on an adventure... maybe they get split up and have to find one another. It could work, I think.

Not sure how long we'll have to wait for a sequel, but apparently a Gremlins sequel (also written by Chris Columbus) is much further along.

I did hear recently, though, that in the original script of the original film, Stripe was intended to be Gizmo as a Gremlin. I can see why way went the other way with it. Though it would have been a pretty awesome ride. The beloved adorable Gizmo turned into a vicious monster. I guess they didn't want to traumatize the audience that badly. Would have been quite the twist. |

Yeah. I prefer my Gizmo, furry.
I think it would be neat if they introduced some third race of creature that both Gremlins and Mogwais had to defeat, together. You love this signature.
