Added DiffLines:

* CaliforniaDoubling: The movie was largely filmed on location in Astoria, Oregon and the city itself has a film history museum (in fact the building used as the county jail in the opening scene) where Goonies props and materials take up about 30 percent of the space. The family house in the film was unfortunately an unofficial tourist destination where fans would bother the actual family living there. That said, the Goondocks is a fictional location and HollywoodGeography has the kids travel in underground tunnels to a coastline 30 miles south in one night.

* TheCastShowoff: Jake Fratelli sings Italian opera in a few scenes: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgIUsiD-o8M#t=39s "Una furtiva lagrima"]] from ''L'elisir d'amore'' when feeding Sloth and ''Theatre/MadameButterfly'' when Chunk [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aB7UwtkAsUQ flags him down on the road]]. This was the idea of Creator/RobertDavi, who played Jake and trained as an opera singer.

Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame: Coincidence or not, one of ''Film/TheGoonies'' is Brand (Brandon Walsh), played by Creator/JoshBrolin. Several years later, in 1990, the same character of Brandon Walsh appeared once again on ''Series/BeverlyHills90210'', this time played by Jason Priestley.
