HE GOONIES opens with the frenzied jailbreak, during which we meet the Fratellis- Francis, Jake, and Mama. The jailbreak scene quickly establishes the dual identity of the Fratelli Gang, at one moment clever criminals, the next moment cartoon cutups. Here they've staged Jake's daring escape complete with Molotov cocktail. But when he reaches the getaway car, his brother Francis fumbling madly to get the car door unlocked.The ensuing chase by the cops through town introduces seven local kids- the Goonies-all but one oblivious to the uncommon ......,, _ ... ·ovl'itom''"' in this otherwise sleepy town.

"It ~v~~·KS the whole bay and port of Astoria" But the house was in disrepair; not moviemakmaterial. 'The morning we chose the house," Riva continues, "we asked the woman who owns it if she'd like us to restore it for her. She looked at us as if we were crazy. We said wewere from Hollywood, and she understood immediately. We redid the house , inside and out, and now she has abeautiful home." And the Goonies have a terrific loca'tion for the beginning of their outrageous adventure.

WORKER ANTS, the Astoria crew is all over the Walsh boose. The weather during the shoot was typical Pacific Northwest fare: foggy, rainy, cool. Bot that did Httle to dampen the ef. forts of the spirited crew and cast.

rrs CALLED THE TRUF· fie Shuffle, Chunk's twisting, shaking, belly juggle. He gives a com· mand performance before the other GooDies activate the Rube Goldberg device (oppo1ite page, lower rigbf) that finally opens tbe gate outside the Walsh's. Eat your moon· walking heart out, Jl

RIGINALLY CALLED 'The Goon Kids," the idea for The Coomes, recalls Screenplay Writer Chris Columbus, came from Steven Spielberg. "He knew there was a bunch of kids. The concept was: What do you do on a rainy summer day and you're bored? The kids live in the Goon Docks, and each has a strange quirk." Director Richard Donner credits the casting directors, Mike Fenton and Judy Taylor, for finding the right kids. "Each of the kids is real~ his nickname in real life," says Donner. Jeff (Chunk) is chunky, Key (Data) is fascinated with electronics, Corey (Mouth) never shuts up." Spielberg sums up just who the Goonies are: 'They are an often ridiculous, rag-tag, junk-food bunch of American kids whose biggest enemy- besides the local bullies and snobby girls-is weekend boredom. Never bore a Goony or you'll be facing an adventure bigger than the entire neighborhood and stumbled upon by sheer outrageous accident. To play these 'reja:ts,' Dick Donner and Isaw hundreds of faces. Our selections were based on gnarly behavior, inexhaustible energy, and big quantities of weird humor. Every kid in The Goonies has a mushy, sentimental center. Donner has the mushiest, which is why he worked so brilliantly with them." And speaking of mushy, how about Chunk's Truffle Shuffle? Jeff Cohen describes it. 'The only way they let me in the Goonies club is if I do this dance. I make rumbling chicken noises and chicken movements with my arms, while moving my stomach in and out."

MIKEY EASILY SOLVES the Al Jaffee fold·ln on the back cover of Mad. His knack pays off In spades later that day.

ONE BY ONE, THE GooDies gather at Mikey and Brand's. Mouth, nicknamed for his wit, enters. Data, a secret· agent type, makes a dar· ing if somewhat flawed swing over from his house next door. Chunk shuffles in next. Brand, the jock, is unimpressed. Says his asthmatic brother Mikey in between shots from his breathallzer: ''Nuthin' ex· citing ever happens around here anyway." Ha! Just you wait ....
