Now You're A Goonie
This slightly strange behind-the-scenes featurette about the making of The Goonies is six minutes of pop culture sideshow at its best. As described by director Richard Donner (The Omen and Superman were his hits at the time), this not-very-good film was a pain-in-the-butt to make. And yet it has its fans, and lots of them.In this short bit you see a young Josh Brolin a couple of times, and a young Steven Spielberg -- the boss on the set.

Donner does some slick backtracking in there, yes. The kids are pains, Spielberg is looking over his shoulder... but it's good, because Spielberg is the biggest kid of all!
Certainly it looks like the start of Spielberg's obsession with cloying kids and social outcasts. The seeds are being laid for the horrifying spectre of Short Round.
