So Richard Donner shot down the “Lethal Weapon 5” rumours, he also shot down the reuniting of the original Goonies cast for “The Goonies” sequel. Donner and the original cast were game for the sequel in the past, Steven Spielberg was also game for it, Donner said they had a lot of young writers submit work but said none of their scripts called for another sequel. Meaning it’s a polite way of saying that a “Goonies” sequel would suck. Another reason that the sequel to the “Goonies” will definitely never happen is because the cast members are moving on to better careers.
For example, Josh Brolin went on into becoming a huge movie star, starring in films such as “No Country For Old Men” and the new upcoming flick “W.”. Jeff Cohen who played Chunk, is now an entertainment lawyer for Cohen & Gardener. Corey Feldman just released “The Lost Boys II’ sequel direct to DVD and is currently working with Corey Haim for the “Two Coreys” TV show. Sean Astin just completed the Lord of the Rings trilogy a while back and seems like he hasn’t done anything since. I’m not sure what the rest of the cast is up to though.
Donner has plans in adapting “The Goonies” to an on stage musical.

I used to want a “Goonies” sequel but I’m actually glad it isn’t happening. It don’t need one. The original “Goonies” film is great the way it is.

I think it is god news, too. Let me remember it as a good movie from back when I was only 32 or so.
You’re the movie buff so you’d probably know this.
Who are the two chicks in the picture there? That one in yellow reminds me of a chick I know over at the Stewarts near the downtown Sch’dy (Schenectady)…except that chick at Stewarts doesnt have eyebrows. I dont know her name so I just call her Jack White (like that White Stripe guy).
And then the one in purple in the picture over there is quite the cute little looker. I don’t know her personally but if she wasnt a total skank who does them one night stands with all the actors over there in Hollywood I would like to date her for dinner and get to know her for real.
Do you know their names?
Come on dude, those two chicks are no one other than Stef and Andy, the two cute looking girls in the Goonies. Marcia Plimpton who played Stef is in the blond and Kerri Green is the dark brown haired chick in the purple shirt who played Andy, Brand Walsh’s girlfriend from the film.

Um, that Asian person is not a girl. It is actually a guy, that happens to be Jonathan Ke Quan who played “Data” in the “Goonies”, the kid with all them gadgets he invents all over his body in the film.
Of course, the kid from Rudy is little Mikey, the leading star of “The Goonies”, he also had a huge role in the Lord of the Rings trilogy playing the character Sam Gamgee who is Frodo’s best friend in the films.

Also, I forgot to mention Jonathan Ke Quan was Short Round from “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom”.

ahhhh very cool. Good job knowing about that movie so much!
I didnt see the Sam Gamngee Lord of the Rings yet but I hope to someday.
My wing counselor only lets us watch a movie HE likes and it’s totally unfair because I’d like Harry Potter pretty much 100% if he’d let us watch it. They say that some of us would get violent from the magic and dragons and stuff so we just watch JAG and ARMY WIVES because that is all this guy watches. Them and Jokers Wild & Tic Tac Dough on the Game channel because he says it “keeps you animals relaxed better than your lithium.”
I gotta go they dont want us on the computer box but I sneaked on today!
I hope I can see your movie review again some time!!

I am in FULL agreement with you on this one Kev! I’m glad they didn’t make this movie either. There’s something about a movie titled “the Goonies” that’s just so completely stupid and ignorant.
We should start a petition that bans any movie ever made being titled “the Goonies” from this day forward.
