Here’s an interesting video from the Confused Breakfast podcast discussing fan theories: back to the future and The Goonies It happened on the same day, October 26, 1985.
“This is what we know. The Goonies happened on a Saturday in October, after the Fratellis family escaped from prison. These are the facts.
“The date in the newspaper where Fratellis escaped is October 24th. If the newspaper was published on the 24th, then the only Saturday after October 1985 would be the 26th.
I like the idea that these two movies are set in the same universe and that these stories take place on the same day.
The podcast host also talked about Wayne Knight’s character in Jurassic Park, paying homage to The Goonies with his costume.
“Early in the movie, he wears this floral shirt, and that’s what Chunk wears in the movie. The Goonies. Halfway through the film, he puts on a black T-shirt under a gray jacket, which is exactly what Mouth is wearing.
“Then at the end of the movie he puts on a bright yellow raincoat with a hood, which is exactly what Mickey is wearing.”
Watch the video below and let us know what you think of these theories.
