History YMMV / TheGoonies

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Chunk's lie about MichaelJackson supposedly stopping over at his house to use the bathroom becomes wince-worthy in light of his accusations of pedophilia.

** Recently spawned a string of indie T-shirts in the UK, bearing slogans such as 'Sloth love Chunk' and 'Do the Truffle Shuffle!'

* NightmareFuel: The [[MadwomanInTheAttic "It" in the basement]]....[[SubvertedTrope at first, anyway.]]

* VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Despite the one noticeable greenscreen, mentioned above, almost everything else: the stunts, set pieces and fantastic sets (especially the location of Willie's ship) were all done practically and have aged fantastically well as a result. A fact proudly pointed out in the SpecialEdition commentary.

* TheWoobie: Poor Sloth. Even when we and Chunk still assume he's a dangerous MadmanInTheAttic, it's impossible not to feel bad for him as he sits chained to his seat, begging for food from his JerkAss brother.
** Speaking of which, Jake Fratelli is a JerkassWoobie. He's an ass towards Sloth, not to mention a killer, though it's hard to not feel sorry for him as the TheUnFavorite in the Fratelli family.

-->'''Jeff Cohen:''' The worst bluescreen effect in the history of filmmaking!

* HoYay: The scene where Steph is comforting Andy when the gang encountered the skeleton of Chester Copperpot. Highlighted by Martha Plimpton in the commentary: "This is our ''love'' scene right here..."

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: The film is generally remembered as a kids film, what with it centering on the adventures of a bunch of kids. However, the film features a man hanging from a noose, a child stuck in a closet with a corpse, a deformed man chained up in a basement, panty shots of a teenager, jokes about drugs and a whole scene dedicated to a statue's penis. When the SpecialEdition released celebrating it's 25th Anniversary was rated PG-13 (12A) some were surprised until they viewed the film [[ParentalBonus through adult eyes]].

* NightmareFuel: The [[MadwomanInTheAttic "It" in the basement]]. The pirate ship has a bunch of these with all the surprises and skeletons.

* WeirdAlEffect: People are more likely to assume "Hey you guys!" is from this movie rather than ''TheElectricCompany''.

* AccidentalInnuendo: I mean, seriously, ''One-Eyed Willie''. That's like a thirty-innuendo pile-up waiting to happen. Though quite a few fans debate the [[GettingCrapPastTheRadar "accidental"]] part. A lewd name is rather fitting for pirate after all.

** The reason for [[DeifiedTrope cutting]] the scene of the octopus, which was about as threatening as a bathtub toy.

** And on [=YTMND=], there are various sites based around Chunk, like "Chunk is Indestructable", where [[StarTrekTNG Captain Picard]] from ''StarTrekFirstContact'' tries to shoot down Chunk, and "Chunk Addresses Congress", where Chunk chastises the US Congress over the War in Iraq.
