The 1985 Richard Donner-directed film, written by Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus, has become a classic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In addition to Quan and Cohen, the movie costarred Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Martha Plimpton, and Kerri Green and made famous the catchy Cyndi Lauper song &#8220;The Goonies &#8216;R&#8217; Good Enough.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img alt=\"Ke Huy Quan and Jeff Cohen reunited Feb. 18 Unique Nicole\/Getty\u00a0\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\" style=\"color:transparent\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05ec7e20e4404e253f412294a1d922c5.jpeg\"\/>Ke Huy Quan and Jeff Cohen reunited Feb. 18 <\/p>\n<p>Unique Nicole\/Getty <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Quan memorably appeared in Yeoh&#8217;s 2022 movie Everything Everywhere All at Once, for which he received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He thanked Cohen in his speech, because the actor-turned-lawyer had negotiated his contract for the film.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;When the producer of our movie was trying to make my deal,&#8221; Quan recalled to The Hollywood Reporter, via the magazine, &#8220;he said he never imagined that he&#8217;d have to talk to Chunk and Data for his movie.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Much of the cast reunited in February 2025, when Quan himself was honored with a <a href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/the-goonies-cast-reunites-ke-huy-quan-hand-footprint-ceremony-8785411\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:hand-and-footprint ceremony;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">hand-and-footprint ceremony<\/a> at the nearby TCL Chinese Theater.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">At the time, Brolin said Quan had &#8220;that Midas touch&#8221; and &#8220;that heart of gold that you\u2019ve always had, as far back as 40 years it&#8217;s been.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Brolin recalled that, when they met, he was 16, and Quan was 13.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I could not be happier for you,&#8221; Brolin said. &#8220;I know we all are, all us Goonies, here for an honor that is not only totally deserved, but celebrates all that is right in this industry.

That would be amazing!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Brolin explained in August that he&#8217;s cautiously in favor of a sequel if they can find the right idea.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;I hope it does [happen] because the experience was so great,&#8221; Brolin told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etonline.com\/media\/videos\/why-josh-brolin-feels-trepidation-about-making-a-goonies-sequel-exclusive-236579\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Entertainment Tonight;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Entertainment Tonight<\/a>. &#8220;The movie is received so well, generation after generation. It&#8217;s just everything good about it. The trepidation that I have is that you release something else that taints that.
