Civil Disobedience
There was one final deleted scene that got cut from the movie. This one was simply removed because of time constraints and because it didn’t add much to the plot that wasn’t already established without it. More or less, the Goonies were just putting up signs on that morning before they would be forced to move out of their hometown.
The signs were just simple ones, with slogans like “Save the Goon Docks.” This was the name of their neighborhood which was soon to be torn down in order to become land for a nearby country club to expand into. This area was based on small neighborhoods out on the coast of Oregon.
Because of the cast already voicing pretty well what their situation was during their first few scenes, director Richard Donner decided it wouldn’t really be necessary to include this scene in the final product. After all, the movie was already running past its initially estimated runtime, so sacrifices had to be made, just like with the octopus scene.
Although it never truly found its place in the movie we know and love, it still serves quite a purpose. It is a great photo of our main Goonies as they are in character and costume on the set. It serves as such a definitive look as the characters together, which is really the most important part of the movie.
