The film revolves around a group of children and adolescents who live in the poorer, less trendy part of a beachfront town. Seeing him in the video-enhanced commentary of the DVD nearly two decades later was a surprise and a half. Indeed, this was probably the first film that introduced me to the reality that the same actor will often play ten different parts in ten different films when I realised that Jonathan Ke Quan was the same brat that made parts of Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom so amusing.
It is not a coincidence that many of its cast and crew have repeatedly appeared in all sorts of productions before and since. Despite what the IMDb's ratings would have you believe, it is an immortal classic that warrants repeated and frequent viewings. But this is just one of The Goonies' selling points.
Nostalgia is a wonderful thing, and seeing how the principal cast had aged (or hardly aged in Josh Brolin's case) was worth the price of admission on its own. It was in 2001 or thereabouts that I watched and listened to the audio commentary track that is on the DVD version of The Goonies.
