Goonies Outtakes
 

Remember in the end when they're all on the beach and the news asks them if they were in danger? One of the Goonies, I think it was Data, mentioned something about the "Octopus". I never understood that part because there was no octopus.
UNTIL I WATCHED THE OUTTAKES!
And let me say Thank GOD they removed that scene. It was bad and would have ruined the movie. Donner, you made a good decision.

Octopus getting down to a Cindy Lauper song? Fantastic. As a curiosity, at least. Kinda glad it wasn't in the movie myself.

Thanks to the DVD for finally setting the Goonies "octopus dispute."

Son, you are my greatest invention.

Octopus? Let me guess...it's when they're in the cove where the pirate ship is, right?

i just saw the goonies for the first time yesterday and Sloth is the shit

I know! I've wanted to do a little piece about the Goonies Octopus scene for so long, because so few people even know about it. Everybody remembers them talking about an octopus, but most people have never seen that scene. Bad, bad, baaaaad.

SLOTH! LOVE! CHUNK! HOOOOOOOOOO HEEEEEEEEEEE HOOOOOOOOOOO!

why did they delete it?

If you had bothered to read the "Goonies 'R' Good Enough" minimock, you would know why. >:

I read it and mock said the puppet didnt look realistic, but he also said the scene was horrible but WHY, the puppet looked real enough for me

I grew up with a recording of the goonies on tv. they had all the scenes that were deleted in the real movie. I actually never knew that the octapus scene was deleted in the first place until I bought goonies on dvd.

Whatever did data say to his dad when it was in Japanese subtitles?

HEYY YOU GUYS!!! AHAHA!

Same here. It was taped from HBO.

yeah, i remember i was serching for a copy of the uncut version of goonies for a long-ass time. They were actually selling the video on goonies.com i believe, but they wanted some insane ammount for it (something like $50), so I had to pass. I guess it still would be cool to have, seeing that the video would put the deleted scene into the movie, rather then just watching the deleted scene by itself.

On that note, I don't understand why they don't edit deleted scenes into movies. For example, if they placed the deleted scenes into Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, the movie would be 10x better (don't get me wrong, i fucken love that movie!), but rather, we are given a menue with around 50 deleted scenes we have to just sit and watch, and it can get rather dull.

The main reason putting deleted scenes back into the movie is probably because the film elements don't match: meaning that you could be staring at a clean and flawless picture one minute, then a grainy dupe the next. Also, seamless branching isn't a standardized art, meaning each authorizing house has to do it a different way which means that it could either be great or a few DVD players couldn't handle it.

Plus it does take time and add money to the whole process. It's sad, really: most companies are putting out rarer stuff nowadays to cash in on the DVD craze but don't like putting too much money into it initially for extras like commentaries, much less seamless branching.

Wow, I didn't know they had it on DVD now, I HAVE to get this DVD.
