Key Huy Quan thinks the last time he was in the same room with most of his “The Goonies” co-stars was at least 20 years ago. Corey Feldman thinks it was more like four decades ago at the film’s Los Angeles premiere in 1985.
Whatever the case may be, Quan was joined Monday at his hand-and-footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood by Feldman, Josh Brolin, Kerri Green, Jeff Cohen and director Chris Columbus. “I had an incredible ‘Goonies’ reunion this morning,” Quan told me Monday night at the premiere of his new action movie “Love Hurts.”
The cast had a virtual fundraising reunion on Zoom during the COVID pandemic.

Quan said he’s frequently asked if there will ever be a “Goonies” sequel. “It’s one of the most asked questions in my life,” he said. “I would love for it to happen.”
Feldman told me that he and co-star Sean Astin were developing a sequel about a decade ago. They pitched it to director Richard Donner and members of the Amblin and Columbus teams. “Sean and I worked really hard on this, and it was a really great idea,” Feldman said.
Although Donner seemed excited by the project, he didn’t get on board because he thought it was “too expensive.”
“This is the sequel to ‘The Goonies.’ It’s got to be expensive, right?” Feldman said. “He’s like, ‘I want to make it small. I want to make it about the characters — more of a film about these people and where they are now.’ I was like, ‘OK, all right. Well, there you go. You’re Dick, you’re the boss.’”
Like Quan, Feldman is also open to the idea of making a sequel now. “All I can say is, get us all together,” he said. “Everybody is looking good. Sean’s looking good. Josh is looking good. We’re all looking good still, and we’re all alive. Goonies never say die…There’s hope.”
“Love Hurts” is actually a mini “Goonies” reunion, with Astin appearing in the film alongside Quan.
