The Octopus That Didn’t Make The Cut
When filming for the 1985 action-adventure film The Goonies, the filmmakers originally intended to include a giant octopus towards the end of the film. The octopus was supposed to attack Stef and Mouth in the lagoon where the Inferno is located. Data would then shove a cassette into the creature’s mouth leading it to breakdance to Goon Squad’s “Eight Arms to Hold You.”
Burman Studios developed the octopus, and the scene was shot, yet, it didn’t make it into the film. The octopus ended up looking incredibly odd and the consensus was to leave it out. So, all of that time, money, and energy were wasted on a scene that didn’t make it into the movie.
