Just Jack Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Legendary Spanish galleon shipwreck discovered on Oregon coast Quote As white settlers came to this dramatic, craggy coast, the Native American accounts became embroidered with increasingly fantastic tales of hidden riches. By the late 19th century, local legends of treasure and galleons—and the hunt for them—appeared regularly in the pages of Oregon newspapers. Those reports caught the attention of filmmaker Steven Spielberg and likely inspired his idea for the 1985 film The Goonies, a Gen-X cult tale of treasure-seeking kids and a mystery galleon on Oregon’s wild Pacific coast. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Story probably sucks as much as the movie. One of my list of opinions that could cause me bodily harm. Not getting Radiohead might be tied for the top position 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Hammersticks Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Great movie. My kids love it too. I guess I always wondered about the whole pirates in the pacific NW thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Great movie yet I'm glad they ended up cutting out that whole Octupus scene yet the editor's missed a reference to it which can cause confusion when watch the movie more than once.

The funniest scene in the movie (to me) is a scene in which no one speaks. Good stuff!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
