The thing I always hated about The Goonies is that the evil Fratelli clan is never really brought to justice. Sure, they get arrested at the end but that was one seriously delinquent brood! I wanted to see them get eaten by the octopus or something radical!
(What octopus, you say? And you call yourself a Goonie... There IS a scene with a giant octopus-- Data shoves his walkman in its mouth, saving the day as usual. It was deleted in most versions but can be seen on the DVD. Don't believe me? Fuck you. Go buy it.)
ANYWAYS-- imagine my delight upon seeing Wes Craven's Deadly Friend (1986) where Kristy Swanson knocks Mama Fratelli's freakin' block off with a basketball. That's quite the cannon you got there, Kristy!
