I Love This Clever and Rare Original Teaser Trailer for THE GOONIES
The Goonies is hands down one of my all time favorite films as a kid. I loved everything about this film, and it’s one of the reasons why my brothers and I have enjoyed exploring cool legends over the years. It just inspired our imaginations and sparked an interest in exploration.
For those of you who are also fans of The Goonies, I’ve got a great little treat to share with you today that I know you’re gonna love. This is a rare 35mm scan of the original teaser trailer that was released for the film and I love everything about it!
It’s a simple trailer, but it’s super clever as it used the titles of several previously released iconic movies to build the excitement. For example, “Goonies” is spelled out using letters from Gremlins, The Omen, Raiders of the Lost Arc, Close Encounters of the Second Kind, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, E.T., and, Superman.
It certainly does an awesome job of building the hype without actually showing any footage from the film or giving away any details. I miss the 80s.
