From the ’80’s nostalgic arcade, Richard Donner’s THE GOONIES is scripted by Chris Columbus from Steven Spielberg’s story, who also moonlights as its hands-on producer, so, a juvenile iteration of Indian Jones-esque treasure-hunting adventure is close to the mark, and it is also the main influence of the Duffer brothers’ Netflix hit show STRANGER THINGS (2016-).
After a rumbustious opening to corral the “Goonies” together - a coinage by the school-aged Mikey (Astin), whose members also include Chunk (Cohen), Mouth (Feldman), and Data (Quan), respectively impersonating the stock characters of “the chump”, “the (bilingual) motormouth” and “the (gizmo) geek”, whereas Mikey shows goodly mettle as its leader, an ancient map is serendipitously discovered in Mikey’s family attic, which instigates his intent on seeking out the hidden treasures left by legendary pirate “One-Eyed” Willy centuries earlier, and it is also conveniently imperative because this seems to be the last chance to save their homes from the impending foreclosure, which is due the next week.
The Goonies’ weekend journey is soon joined by Mikey’s elder brother Brand (Brolin), cheerleader Andy (Green) and her wallflower friend Stef (Plimpton), after they infiltrate into a coast-side derelict restaurant which also serves as the lair of the Fratelli crime family, a secret tunnel in the basement will in time lead them to the whereabout of the treasures galore, with the Fratellis closing in on them and a few booby traps to impede their pursuance.
Persisting a white-knuckled pace from A to Z, THE GOONIES is fully aware of its ingrown ludicrousness and inconsistency that it cannot risk losing its momentum of thrills and chills, and on this regard, it has done a remarkable job, also, as a family-friendly fare, it doesn’t necessarily steer away from the macabre, craniums and skeletons are constant scream-inducing props and a deformed strongman-bozo in the shape of Sloth (Matuszak) gives this reviewer quite a startle at first, however, the story shows its well-intentioned felicity to bring a heartwarming twist to defy our preconception about monstrosity.
The young cast’s performance is uniformly engaging and occasionally hilarious, Astin is especially earnest and precociously sagacious in his screen debut (no wonder he created such a hoopla by guest-starring in the second season of STRANGER THINGS), Feldman cunningly exhibits a savvy aptitude that makes an impressive entrance but is mostly underutilized when the cat-and-mouse chase begins, but it is Cohen who is saddled with the most grueling task of acting in the face of incessant grotesque, hectoring and menace, which he pulls it off magnificently without losing his funny bone.
Grownups have less meatier parts to play, save for Anne Ramsey, as the formidable Mama Fratelli, she huffs and puffs imperiously towards her two nebbish sons (Davi and Pantoliano), a soupçon of racist typecasting aside (Italians are criminals by nature?), she really cannot suffer gladly both fools and brats on an equal measure.

在我们没有正式进入社会的时候,不怕后果,试图挑战邪恶,永远希望自己拥有浇不灭的勇气和精神。我们也永远期待,看起来平静的社区,波澜不惊的生活,会突然发生一件自己不得不参与并起着关键作用的大事。事后,大人们赞许的目光,同龄人的鼓掌欢呼,也一定是必不可少的关键剧情。
这样的事情,有时候在我们的幻想中经历了千百遍,有时候成了游戏环节的一部分,有时候已经发生了但我们却置身事外。
这种期待,是那个年龄段,每个孩子独有的天赋。
后来,童话变得越来越模糊,冒险也不再是首选。到一定的年龄时,海盗、宝藏、机关陷阱、亮着火把的洞穴都从我们的大脑里偷偷打包好一切离开了。这电影,就成了一段珍贵的纪念。
生活里,没有非自己不可的大事件,没有不会杀人的笨贼,没有等待自己寻找的宝藏,也没有全体角色衷心的赞许与欢呼。
因为没有这些,所以拥有过这些,哪怕只是在想象中拥有过,也是一件了不起的事情。
适应大人的生活,接受成为普通的大人,经历平淡却枯燥的大人日常,不是糟糕的事情,也不是我们后来不够勇敢的惩罚。一定一定不要怪自己。
真是傻了吧唧又简单快乐的八零年代。
少年版印第安纳琼斯,编剧是斯皮尔伯格。总体很快乐,中间的机关很有意思,片尾曲Cyndi Lauper的不错!机关赞!
金馬奇幻影展丨幾年前有用電腦看過,當時覺得還不錯而已,殊不知大銀幕初看卻比以前還要喜歡,簡直愛慘!!果然看大銀幕有差,克里斯哥倫布編劇、史帝芬史匹伯故事發想+監製、李察唐納執導,基本上80年代最會拍兒童冒險電影的大導演都參與了本片的製作,本片的風格也像兒童版法櫃奇兵與ET的混搭,哥倫布當時尚未當起導演,但是本片的風格無疑奠定了哥倫布未來執導《小鬼當家》的基礎,李察唐納除了客串獄警外,還偷渡超人的梗在其中,以前只知道薩諾斯有演,這次重看才發現小男主角不就是魔戒、怪奇物語的BOB嗎!80年代最好的兒童電影之一,小演員們實在是太會演,孩子們試著用自己的力量改變一成不變的生活,的確像哥倫布會寫的劇本,大銀幕看全場笑到歪掉,影展重映沒白來
小时总玩这个游戏后来01年在中央6看到了真人版!~里面还有个越南小孩演过〈夺宝奇兵2〉!~
对那个奇怪的头和骷髅钢琴还隐约有点印象……重看还是觉得蛮萌的哈哈~Corey Feldman小时候真的蛮有劲的,结果得了中二病…一声叹息…
好笑而且紧凑!
这部欢乐的家庭冒险片,由斯皮尔伯格担任制作,导演理查德·唐纳曾以“致命武器”系列电影扬名影坛。《七宝奇谋》中具有斯皮尔伯格动作片的所有元素。——《芝加哥太阳时报》影片的娱乐性一无所有,只听见小家伙们叫了两个小时。——《西北先驱》充满粗鲁而令人作呕的趣味。——《奥斯汀纪事》。
想不到是那么早的片子了~
@朝外大街上的幽灵chkt 这就是我在Wormhole跟你说的我误以为是大魔域的儿童冒险片 而且更神奇的是Wormhole某个角落里其实有陈列Goonies的DVD 我远看第一眼以为是back to the future 所以才出了那个题
终于找到了,小时候让我早上5点就起床看的电影
【A-】不仅仅是一部好的儿童片,还是一部完成度非常高的商业娱乐片,即使现在看也依然能从中感受到很大的乐趣,享受其中。故事主题和角色都写的特别棒,情感部分也非常触动人。节奏真就和《夺宝奇兵》一样好,硬要说不足的话就是反派塑造确实过于儿童片化,没有什么危机感,但瑕不掩瑜,整个观影过程都非常快乐也能共情主角们,很棒!(看完后才发现导演和编剧都是谁……然后卧槽震惊了
大大满足了儿时各种幻想!歌剧男一家子坏人也变得可爱。Sean Astin又带我去看了一场冒险
怪奇好人卡第n人鲍比,在乔什布洛林还是小哥哥的时候,为了成为陪伴山姆弗洛多的男人,努力探险锻炼的故事,八十年代万岁!
executive producer & story : Steven Spielberg
小Astin超可爱。若是20年前看到就好了。另外女主角的内裤总是露出来实在是【。 编剧也好,整体的氛围也好,8,90年代的片子比现在讲究多了。
多给一颗 献给简单而伟大的八十年代
本来《七宝奇谋》就给我儿童版《夺宝奇兵》的感觉,没想到编剧就是克里斯·哥伦布 / 史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格,而且还有《夺宝奇兵2》里表现挺亮眼的“关继威”出演,看到年轻的《指环王》“山姆”- 西恩·奥斯汀、《复仇者联盟3&4》"灭霸”- 乔什·布洛林也让我有些意外惊喜。电影拍得蛮惊险欢乐有趣,让我产生了给小朋友放映的念头。→ 2021.11.05:如愿放映。外甥和大姐看得挺欢乐,我也跟着看了一些。因为要去影院看其它电影,所以没和他们完整重看一遍。
青少年版《夺宝奇兵》,小时候还玩过同名游戏。人物设计鲜明,全片热闹非凡,主角团在欢声笑语中完成了冒险壮举,主角一个长大成为了《指环王》中的弗罗多的好基友山姆,哥哥从小爱健身,要不说长大后成了毁灭地球一半人的灭霸呢!《怪奇物语》应该致敬了这部剧很多元素,面容丑陋的巨人却穿着超人服,应该是导演自我致敬1978版《超人》吧!
比起冒险还是一群小伙伴叽叽喳喳你推我搡的日常更好玩,Sean宝宝虽萌但过于男主类型不如小胖、大嘴逗,健身哥也傻得可爱。怪人撕开外衣亮出超人胸标,应景地响起主题音乐,因为超人也是Donner导的
