Description
One of the 6 advertising paintings, featuring Chunk at the top of the chain…

The Goonies (1985) is one of my absolute favorite movies from the 1980‘s and I still remember seeing it as a kid for the very first time. So obviously Drew Struzan‘s amazing movie poster artwork is among the top of my (dream-)wishlist. As the final key movie poster artwork is probably unattainable, I’m extremely happy to have gotten the original newspaper advertisement artwork for the original movie release…
The story goes that executive producer/writer Stephen Spielberg loved Drew's design so much, he asked Drew to paint each Goonie on top of the chain so there could be a different newspaper ad for all seven days leading up to the movie‘s release…so Drew painted 6 new designs along with an additional background (all on 76cm x 56cm artboard) all of which I was lucky enough to add to my collection…

Wonderful piece. Here's a true story. My family and I went to see the movie and with two minutes left the light bulb in the projector burnt out, Right when the pirate ship goes to sea. Everyone in the movie theater was upset That they missed the last two minutes. The movie theatre would not offer a refund, but they said that we could watch the movie again for free. My parents said they're not going to watch the movie again for another two hours just to see the last two minutes so we left. I suppose this makes a memorable movie even more memorable for me! lol. I've probably seen this movie about 100 times. For the 50th anniversary, they'll probably make a redo.

This is incredible to see, thank you for sharing! The impact of this film cant be overstated. I'm an 80's baby, live in the PNW, Oregon specifically and to us, this movie is our Citizen Kane. Goonies Never Say Die!
