The Goonies turns 30 this summer. No time for dwelling on how this fact makes you feel old; the sheer awesomeness of this film should shield you from any feelings of decrepitude. The Goonies has everything: charismatic performances from kids (ask yourself: what was the last kid-driven movie where you didn’t want to push the kids off a cliff?), a powerhouse creative team (written by Chris Columbus, who wrote Gremlins and would direct a couple Home Alones and the first two Harry Potter movies, executive produced by Steven Spielberg, directed by Richard Donner (Superman, Lethal Weapon), and a killer soundtrack (try and tell me Cyndi Lauper’s “Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough” isn’t one of the more underrated songs on the ’80s), and a gorgeous setting (as an Oregon resident, there’s a slight chance The Goonies anniversary is a bigger deal here than elsewhere around the world). Sure, it’s not a perfect movie by any means (a smattering of casual racism, a fairly shocking amount of bad language for a PG-rated film, and who the hell mows over 300 lawns to pay for bicycle tires?!), but I think it touches something in all of us. A sense of friendship. A yearning for adventure. The desire to become filthy, stinking rich from said adventure. By now, we’ve all seen The Goonies at least 50 times, made the pilgrimage to Astoria, and been issued restraining orders to stay at least 500 feet from Robert Davi (okay, some of us have). Let’s dive into all the stuff that can really enhance our appreciation of The Goonies: trivia! I have assiduously culled the ultimate Goonies trivia compendium from various sources. Hand to blender, it’s all true.

1.) The pirate ship was real, and all the shots were filmed in the ship. After the film, it was offered to anyone who would take it. No one wanted it, so the ship was scrapped.

2.) During Chunk’s (Jeff Cohen) confession scene, two things he admits to are pushing his sister Edie down the stairs and blaming it on the dog, and stealing his uncle Max’s toupee. Cohen’s real-life sister is named Edie, and he has an uncle named Max.

3.) Corey Haim auditioned for the part of Mouth, which went to future best friend Corey Feldman (in fact, they met while auditioning). Feldman auditioned for the lead in License To Drive, which went to, you guessed it, Haim.

4.) One-Eyed Willie’s skull was made of real bone.

5.) Corey Feldman had to dub in the name of fast-food chain Godfather’s Pizza when Straw Hat Pizza refused participation in the film.

6.) When the sheriff references the time Chunk called claiming to have seen “little monsters that multiply with water,” it was a reference to another movie Spielberg produced – Gremlins. But it doesn’t necessarily exist in the same universe, as Corey Feldman plays a different role here.

7.) The script gives One-Eye Willie’s full name as William B. Pordobell. This is likely a reference to Portobelo, a Panamanian port which was a traditional haven for pirates. And probably pedophiles.

8.) Director Richard Donner referenced another one of his movies when Sloth rips of his shirt to reveal a Superman T-shirt. He also wears an Oakland Raiders shirt during the movie — actor John Matuszak played for the team for several seasons, winning two Super Bowls.

9.) Lots of cast members with famous relatives. Sean Astin’s (Mikey) mother is actor Patty Duke and his stepfather was John Astin, and his brother is actor Mackenzie Astin. Josh Brolin’s (Brand) father is actor James Brolin. Martha Plimpton’s (Stef) parents are actors Keith Carradine and Shelley Plimpton. Steve Antin’s (Troy) siblings are fellow actor Neil Antin, Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin, and celebrity hairstylist Jonathan Antin. Additionally, Mary Ellen Trainor (Mrs. Walsh) was married to director Robert Zemeckis at the time the movie was released.

10.) One-Eyed Willie’s ship had a miniature R2-D2 hidden on the deck.

11.) The field where the Fratellis’ restaurant hideout is located is used again in the movie Kindergarten Cop. By the way, where’s the 25th anniversary celebration for Cop?!

12.) In the special edition DVD, Sean Astin has to leave the audio commentary booth early due to a prior commitment…ironically, to Goonies castmate Joe Pantoliano. I believe Astin had to trim his shrubs.

13.) Jeff Cohen contracted chicken pox after he got the role of Chunk. He showed up to the set anyway, afraid that they would have replaced him otherwise (must’ve had some serious “stage parents”). You can actually see scabs on his chest during the iconic “truffle shuffle” scene.

14.) Steven Spielberg instructed the cast members to act cold and distant toward Donner during final week of filming, which puzzled him. Shortly after filming wrapped, Donner went to his beach house in Hawaii. When he arrived home, the entire cast surprised Donner with a cookout — Spielberg had flown them there for the occasion. So, treat the guy like shit for a week for the sake of a 4-hour cookout? Makes sense.

15.) When rocks are falling from the cave ceiling and Data yells “Holy S-H-I-T,” it’s not because that’s the line that was scripted. It’s because Jonathan Ke Quan promised his mom he wouldn’t curse in the movie.

16.) At the end of the movie, in describing the adventure to the police and press, Data mentions “The scariest part was the octopus!” There was no octopus, at least in the final version. A scene featuring an octopus attack was cut due to concerns about running time.

17.) Cyndi Lauper hates the song “Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough,” and refused to perform it at concerts for almost 20 years.

18.) Kerri Green (Andi) is absent from the filming of the “Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough” video because she had already begun shooting the film Lucas.

19.) Cohen has only done the “truffle shuffle” once since the movie. As he put it: “The one time I did it was at Berkeley. I was the mic man at the football games, trying to pump them up. I wasn’t certain everyone knew who I was, I got up there to Say “GO BEARS” and this frat guy in the back row started screaming ‘truffle shuffle.’ then the last 3 rows started chanting it. Next thing you know it caught on and 10,000 students were cheering ‘truffle . . . shuffle!’”

20.) The film was shot almost entirely in sequence from beginning to end, which is extremely rare for most productions.

21.) Spielberg also secretly directed the scene in which the Goonies bang on the underground pipes, as well as the wishing well scene.

22.) The waterslide was actually functional. The kids in the cast would ride down it for fun, and Donner would turn on the water jets and ride down it with the crew after sending the cast home for the day. And it was the ’80s, so they probably did it hopped up on coke.

23.) The original script bore almost no resemblance to the final product. There were so many rewrites that the actors often didn’t receive their scenes until it was time to shoot them.

24.) Steve Antin would go on to direct the 2010 film Burlesque (which I’ve definitely never hate-watched).

25.) In the story book of the film, Chunk’s family did indeed adopt Sloth. They even gave him a Bar Mitzvah. Talk about shit I never thought I’d write…

26.) Astin kept the treasure map after filming wrapped. His mother, mistakenly thinking it was trash, threw it out years later.

27.) The basis for Chunk’s theater story (throwing fake vomit onto unsuspecting people from the balcony) was a real-life prank pulled by Spielberg while growing up in Phoenix.

28.) The cast wasn’t allowed to see the pirate ship until they filmed their first scene with it. Donner wanted their reactions to be as genuine as possible.

29.) A sequel actually happened – in video game format. In 1987, Nintendo released the title The Goonies II. In it, the Fratellis kidnap everyone except Mikey. The player, as Mikey, is tasked with rescuing them. Sounds like Nintendo kidnapped people’s money with this game, amirite?

30.) The skeleton of One-Eyed Willie was reportedly of a man named Raul Woo, who died from lead poisoning. “Raul Woo” also sounds like a legendary fake ID name.

Bonus fact? Bonus fact!

31.) Kerri Green was roommates with actress Marissa Tomei’s brother at Vassar College.
