Curiosity

  • The name of the film comes from a group of four boys, who grew up in the “Goon Docks” neighborhood of Astoria, Oregon. From this name the boys call themselves Goonies, which in American slang also recalls goony, which also means "loser" and that is why Mikey often says that he and his friends are "poor Goonies";
  • the idea was by Spielberg, then at the height of his fame. In order not to overshadow the director, Richard Donnel, he inserted a tribute for him by making Sloth wear the Superman shirt, one of the first films directed by Donnel;
  • same homage was paid to screenwriter Chris Columbus, who previously wrote the script for the Gremlins. In a phone call that Chunk makes to the sheriff, the latter clearly replies: "that last dance about those horrible monsters that multiply if you throw them over the water";
  • in Astoria on June 7 is celebrated the Goonie Day.
