The original film was directed by Richard Donner. The story is about “a group of young misfits called The Goonies” who “discover an ancient map and set out on an adventure to find a legendary pirate&#8217;s long-lost treasure,” a description on <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0089218/?ref_=fn_all_ttl_1">IMDb</a> reads. A famed catchphrase from the movie was &#8220;Goonies never say die.&#8221;

It starred Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Feldman, Key Hu Quan, Martha Plimpton, Kerri Green, and others.
The movie had a budget of $19 million, and at the worldwide box office, it ended up earning $125 million, <a href="https://variety.com/2025/film/news/goonies-2-sequel-steven-spielberg-1236308226/?utm_campaign=feed&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_source=later-linkinbio">Variety</a> noted. It went on to become a cult classic and was selected to be preserved in the National Registry by the Library of Congress in 2017.
Speaking recently at the world premiere of Quan’s new film, “Love Hurts,” the actor and Feldman reflected on the idea of a “Goonies” reunion, the outlet noted.
“It’s one of the most asked questions in my life,” Quan said. “I would love for it to happen.”
Feldman added, “All I can say is, get us all together. Everybody is looking good. Sean’s looking good. Josh is looking good. We’re all looking good still, and we’re all alive. Goonies never say die. … There’s hope.”
