My childhood movie goonies never say die 💀 ❤😊
It’s amazing how young he still sounds
I used to hate him on Indiana Jones: Temple of Doom but I got a lot of respect for him as an adult.
I love The Goonies 😁 but as far, I think they should keep it that way! making it a sequel I'm not too sure if it's going to be a big hit like the first one. But I'm looking forward to seeing it!
mmm leave it alone. It won't have the same magic the first one did. This is a whole different world now. Unless the writer is someone from the 80's and not some millennial that thinks he knows what it was like back then it just won't capture what the first one had.
Please let the Goonie sequel die.
40th anniversary wow. 40 years of "hey you guys," "baby Ruth." But a sequel will be nothing without the whole cast. Congrats, Ke Huy Quan, on your roles you have been shining in. God bless you, Huy amazing actor. He's even more amazing of a person. ❤
Never going to happen, keep it the way it is.❤❤❤❤
Id like to see a sequel, I just hope it does the original justice.
1:43 this part brings back memories and was really funny 😂
When I was 5 in 1996 I heard my mom talking about going to see the Goonies in theatres in the 80’s and I begged to watch it. So we rented it and I watched it. It opened up my eyes to the magic of 80’s movies instantly and even at 5 years old I knew it was a forever classic. If it’s ever on tv I still let it play even if I’m doing something else in the house it’s just a timeless movie.
Too late for a proper sequel but highly predictable.
The Goonies is my childhood.
