'''''The Goonies''''' was a hit movie in 1985, produced by Steven Spielberg, and directed by Richard Donner, with the screenplay written by Chris Columbus from Spielberg's story. It was a film about a band of kids from a section of Astoria, Oregon called the "Goon Docks". The "Goonies", hoping to save the Goon Docks from demolition, go on an adventure to find the buried treasure of a legendary pirate named One-Eyed Willie.
A popular soundtrack was released for the film featuring music by Cyndi Lauper, REO Speedwagon and others (''see The Goonies: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack''). The Goonies (except Kerri Green) appeared alongside famous professional wrestlers (including Rowdy Roddy Piper and Captain Lou Albano) in the 12-minute "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" music video. Lauper also had a cameo as herself in the movie performing this song on TV. Steven Spielberg had a cameo as himself in "The Goonies 'R' Good Enough" music video.
Allegedly a film sequel was in the works, something long desired by fans of the first. Donner said that he had a story that he liked and Spielberg behind him, but in 2004 several of the actors from the original revealed that Warner Brothers, the copyright holder, had not shown interest in a sequel.

When the Fratellis return, the Goonies are forced to follow the tunnel to safely escape them.
One of the Goonies, Chunk, is captured and interrogated by the Fratellis, revealing the hidden tunnel entrance and the promise of treasure at its end. The Fratellis enter the tunnel, leaving Chunk captive alongside a huge and deformed Fratelli brother named Sloth, who
