Is The Goonie's Any Good?

I've been debating whether to watch The Goonies - 1985 - with my Grandson 
this Half term. He's 9 now.

For fun I had a look for it on VHS and realized it's a Spielberg film, which I'd forgotten. 

Have you seen the Goonies? Is it a good one for a young boy? 


Whilst searching I saw this VHS too, the Go-Kids.

It looks a lot like the Goonies artwork. I guess it must be a rip-off. There's even a Star Warsesque Luke/ Leia/ Lightsabre pose! 

Maybe it's actually a fan mash-up?

The original price was staggering, £59.95! Cor!

  1. its fine for the boy, but its an awful film. Badly dated by todays standards, with very mild sex referenced, a huge deformed giant and a bit of gunplay. It was ok back in the day, but not aged well.

    1. Hmmm. My Grandson really enjoyed ET and Close Encounters. May just give the Goonies a whirl.
