They say that Goonies never die, and neither does their friendship. Sean Astin and Jeff Cohen came out to support their friend Ke Huy Quan at the 20th annual Unforgettable Gala which celebrates the achievements of the Asian and Pacific Islander community in entertainment.
This event started 17 years after their little movie came out. So, it just goes to show you special their brotherhood, and that movie is. Even though it has been 37 years, nothing can come between them and our love for them in that whimsical film.
Back in 1985, the Goonies took over the big screen, and they have won the hearts of kids ever since then. That is why the love of the movie will never die.
So over the weekend, Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin, Ke Huy Quan, Keri Green, Jeff Cohen, and bad guy Robert Davi reunited to honor their late director Richard Donner.
Seeing them all together makes me wish they would finally make a sequel. This way, us, kids at heart, can feel like kids all over again with them.
Next week, The Goonies turns the big 3-5. In honor of that anniversary, Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Jeff Cohen, Ke Huy Quan, Josh Brolin, Kerri Green, and Martha Plimpton reunited today to talk about the movie that still has a giant cult following.
So much so, Adam F. Goldberg dedicated two episodes from his sitcoms to it. One on his Fox show Breaking In and the other on his ABC comedy The Goldbergs. You can say he is a huge fan. How huge? He revealed, “For the last 9 years I’ve been secretly writing PART 2 for fun. It’s my masterpiece. I even had a big meeting scheduled with Richard Donner… canceled ’cause of the lockdown! THE GOONIES 2 WILL happen when life resumes. Promise!!!”
If anyone could write a sequel that is loyal to the original, it is him. I hope Donner takes that meeting as soon as he is allowed to take meetings again. Who doesn’t want a Goonies 2? And who doesn’t want it from someone who really idolized the original film?
I know it is a little premature, but let’s all do the Truffle Shuffle in honor of this most excellent news.

Ke Huy Quan aka Jonathan Ke Quan came out for the London Film & Comic Con and the Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom star looks just like he did when he did that movie 28 years ago. Seriously doesn’t the 40 year old look just the same as her did when he played Data in the 1985 movie Goonies. Still just as cute.
