Subplot rerun:  Did you know two gorillas were cut from “The Goonies”? 

Ain’t It Cool News noted that they “… were released during the initial Fratelli car chase at the beginning of the movie, and were to pop up at different times throughout the film.” The script confirms it’s true. 

From page 101: “The two gorillas leap out of their red golf cart on the other side of the pumps! Grunting in ecstasy at the sight of Troy’s red automobile, they lumber toward it, tossing Troy and his friends to one side like Cabbage Patch dolls. 

“Bonzo jumps onto the hood, caving it in, as Bertha leaps into the car. Bonzo takes his familiar place behind the wheel, reaches out to stomp on the pedals. The car lurches forward and drives away erratically, spinning from side to side.”

This subplot was not in the film, or in extra features on the DVD and Blu-ray editions, so the pilfering primates are gone — but not quite forgotten. (In One Ear, 2/14/2013) (Photo: Ain’t It Cool News)
