[[Principal photography]] on ''The Goonies'' began on October 22, 1984, and lasted five months. An additional six weeks of [[Dubbing (filmmaking)|audio dubbing]] and recording were used.<ref name="dvd_commentary">{{Cite AV media | title=Audio commentary from ''The Goonies'' DVD (2001)}}</ref> The shooting script was lengthy, at more than 120 pages, to which several sequences were eventually cut from the final theatrical version. During the film's [[Dramatic structure#Dénouement|''dénouement'']], mention is made of an [[octopus]], which refers to a scene that was excised from the final cut.

In the [[Documentary film|documentary]] ''The Making of The Goonies'', Richard Donner noted both the difficulties and pleasures of working with so many child actors. He praised them for their energy and excitement, but said that they were also unruly when brought together. As a result, the documentary frequently showed him coaching the actors and revealing some techniques he used to create realistic performances. One of these tricks involved One-Eyed Willy's pirate ship, which was actually a full-sized replica of a pirate ship created under the direction of [[production designer]] [[J. Michael Riva]]. Donner restricted the actors from seeing the ship until they filmed the scene wherein it is revealed to their characters; the characters' first glimpse of the ship was also the actors' first view of it, bringing about a more realistic performance. However, that particular scene in the final cut was actually the second take, due to the cast feeling so overwhelmed at first sight that the scene had to be reshot. The entire set was scrapped after shooting because they could not find anyone who wanted it.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.tor.com/blogs/2012/08/10-things-you-might-not-know-about-the-goonies |title=10 Things You Might Not Know About The Goonies |date=20 August 2012 |publisher=Tor.com |access-date=November 5, 2013}}</ref>

In his book ''There and Back Again'', [[Sean Astin]] claimed that Donner and  Spielberg were "like co-directors" on the film as he compared and contrasted their styles when directing scenes.<ref name="Astin 135">{{cite book |title=There and Back Again: An Actor's Tale |author1=Sean Astin |author2=Joe Layden |publisher=Macmillan |year=2005 |isbn=978-0-312-33147-4 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=p_YvkXQ-djQC&pg=PA135 |page=135}}</ref>

Some of the on-location filming was done in Astoria. The interior and exterior of the old Clatsop County Jail features as the holding place of Jake Fratelli at the start of the film. (The building was later converted into the Oregon Film Museum, which opened on the 25th anniversary of ''The Goonies'' with memorabilia from this and other local films.)<ref name="OR Film Museum">{{cite news |url=http://www.oregonlive.com/travel/index.ssf/2010/05/loony_for_the_goonies_astoria.html |title=Loony for 'The Goonies'?

The scenes along the coast were filmed in Oregon, but they were a considerable distance from Astoria.

Underground scenes were filmed at [[Warner Bros.]] Studios in [[Burbank, California]], including the cavernous set where the Goonies find One-Eyed Willy's ship, which was in Stage 16, one of the largest [[sound stage]]s in the United States.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://vipstudiotour.warnerbros.com/extended-hours/ |title=Warner Bros. to Extend Tour to Weekends March 26-August 27 |publisher=Warner Bros. |access-date=May 20, 2012}}</ref> The final scene was shot at [[Goat Rock Beach|Goat Rock State Beach]] in [[Sonoma County, California]].<ref>
