The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: Just as Data hands Mouth the lantern and Mikey tells him to translate, Mikey stands between Data and Mouth, but next shot as Mouth says, "Copper bones. Westward foams. Triple stones," Mouth is between the other two boys. (01:09:40)

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Chunk drops the frame with the map, in the shot looking down at the frame lying on the floor, there are five narrow planks of wood flooring under the frame, but next shot there are three wide planks. (00:16:10)

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Data crashes through the screen door, as Chunk begins to fall backward with the statue, the pothos plant that falls off the table is in a black plastic container, but that pothos plant was actually in a large white ceramic pot in previous shots.

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Data crashes through the screen door, sending Chunk to the floor with the statue, in the first shot there is a long bright stream of sunlight shining on the carpet, between Chunk and the stereo which disappears in the next shot. (00:08:55)

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Mikey pulls the cord to release the bowling ball, the rocking chair is parallel to the railing, facing the porch, but in the opening shot of the house it was closer to the stairs and facing the yard. (00:05:10 - 00:07:35)

The Goonies (1985)

Revealing mistake: Just as Mikey opens the front door for Data's entrance, the porch upper rail is seen right outside the doorway, with the chimes hanging from it. The problem here is the long wood plank at the top corner of the porch railing, that has been added to the decorative bracket that's seen in all other shots. (00:08:55)

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Mouth stands by the door cracking up at Chunk's 'Truffle Shuffle' and in more following shots, there is nothing on the wall behind him between the hutch and doorway. After Data breaks through the screen door there is a large painting hanging there. (00:07:30)

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: After Brand is given the foreclosure paperwork, when everyone goes inside except Mikey all the hanging plants at the side of the house are gone, but they're back when the kids leave on their bikes. (00:21:05 - 00:23:45)

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Chunk is picked up on the road by the Fratelli brothers and thrown into the back with the corpse, he starts screaming. His red jacket hangs off his shoulder, but rights itself between shots. (00:49:40)

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: On Inferno's deck, when Data stubbornly takes a stand against the Fratellis, Mikey's and the others' facial expressions and positions repeatedly change between close-ups and wideshots.

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Mouth first shows up at the Walsh's, in the wideshot as Brand is stretching the chest expander, Brand's left leg is crossed over his right, but in the close-up it's right over left. (00:06:30)

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Brand hangs upside down from the bar, we can see that the kitchen table and four chairs are right in front of the kitchen window. But when Mikey unrolls the map in the kitchen, Chunk, Data, Mikey and Mouth are standing directly in front of that kitchen window, which is completely impossible to do. (00:09:40 - 00:22:35)

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: After Chunk walks in, when Mouth and Mikey kneel in front of the aquarium Mouth's white sock is visible, but when Chunk places the statue on the edge of the table and it falls, we see that Mouth's sock has vanished. (00:08:10)

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Data explains that the skeleton is Chester Copperpot, Mikey is crouching beside the boulder that fell on Copperpot. In shots facing Mikey, he's holding the book and baseball card, but in shots facing Brand, Data and Mouth he is not. (00:54:25)

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: When Troy sends the bucket down the well, in shots facing Andy and the rest, she stands behind the bucket, but in the shots facing Mikey as he tries to convince them all to continue on, Andy's left foot is atop the bucket, and so on.

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: At the Astoria Country Club, when the first shower handle disappears into the wall, the three surrounding tiles break off entirely from the wall. After the next few handles disappear, the wall with the first disappearing handle is shown, but now the square tiles are intact and only cracked.

The Goonies (1985)

Continuity mistake: After Mikey sets off the falling boulders by pulling the wire, when Brand climbs up to move the rock Stef and Andy are standing about four feet apart, but in close-ups they are shoulder to shoulder, and so it goes over and over again. (00:57:20)
