The Goonies


This is a Great DVD commentary! The entire cast reunites after 16 years to talk about making “Goonies”. They're all here, Sloth, Mouth, Data, Chunk...Martha Plimpton. The best part about this DVD is that it has a feature that allows you to watch the cast while they watch the movie, which is beautiful, funny, and often times sad.

You see a majority of these actors haven’t worked since they made this film and there is clearly a tension between the ones that are working and the ones that aren’t. Corey Feldman is so crazy about getting airtime that throughout the commentary that he constantly is shouting over everyone, plugging his own projects, and telling really bad jokes, he's told to “shut up” more than once.

One of the best moments happens throughout the commentary as the cast continually forces Jonathan Ke Quan (Data) who has no accent whatsoever to speak in broken english which he does begrudgingly several times. Even though 16 years have past no one has changed, listening to this commentary it’s like watching a good sequel.
