Figure 1.-- Sean Astin as “Mikey”, with One-Eyed Willy. Sean was dressed in a Levis ® brand denim jacket and sweat shirt. Denim jackets of all brands have kind of become generically known as “Levis Jackets”, but the genuine Levis ® jackets are easily identified by the distinctive red tag on the edge of the pocket as seen in this picture. Not too sure about One-Eyed Willy’s costume. |
Goonies was filmed in Astoria, Oregon. It’s on the Pacific Ocean near the Columbia River in an area that is a virtual graveyard of shipwrecks and the perfect setting for a tale of hidden pirate treasure. Mikey (Sean Astin) and Brandon Walsh (Josh Brolin) are two brothers whose family is preparing to move due to a new development that is sure to be started unless enough money is raised, which is quite doubtful. But, when Mikey stumbles on a treasure map of the famed "One-Eyed Willy's" hidden fortune, he, his brother, and a few friends set out on a quest to find the riches in hopes to save their homes. The friends are played by Jeff Cohan as “Chunk” the nerd fat kid that seems to be mandatory in every juvenile movie, Johathan Ke Quan as “Data”, the mechanical genius of the group, and Corey Feldman as “Mouth”. Joining our adventurers in their quest are two girls, Bran’s girlfriend Kerri Green as “Stef” and the boys’ tomboy buddy, Martha Plimpton, as “Andy”. The entrance to a cavern is found, but it is located underneath the house of the Fratelli family, a treacherous group of thieves who attempt to beat the "Goonies" to the treasure.

The costumes worn by the group are pretty much what you would expect average kids to be wearing in 1985. Blue jeans, sweat shirts and tennis shoes. Astoria is prone to sudden storms even in the summer, and most of the actors wore nylon parka type jackets with the exception of Mikey who wore a denim jacket and Data who wore a surplus army field jacket. Those were very popular among youngsters in that era.
