The Goonies and Back to the Future are among the most popular films of the ’80s, but they also have a couple of things in common

For those who grew up in the 80s, 1985 is a special year, as two films were released that defined the film industry of that decade, back to the future Yes The Goonies. These two films have gone down in history and are still remembered by many today and are already part of popular culture.

As we said, for those who lived their childhood in that period, these two films are almost an intrinsic part of their being or personality. Perhaps precisely for this reason and because they have seen the films hundreds of times, they know every detail and curiosity in detail. Perhaps one of the most surprising details that connects the film Roberto Zemeckis with that of Richard Donner the fact is both occur on the same day, October 26, 1985.

In back to the future, nowadays, where does it come from? Marty McFly It’s October 26, 85, this is something you see when they put the dates in the file DeLorean. Know the date it occurs The Goonies It’s more complicated, but we can understand it thanks to the different clues in the film. In the movie Donner It is said that it is the last weekend of the month and that it is Saturday, this seems logical since the children are not at school that morning.

In the scene that Brand appears in operation, it is possible to consult the calendar for the month of October. Later, when Steph Look at the newspaper, there is the date October 24, 1985, that is Thursday. With all these clues it can be deduced that the adventure of The Goonies It all began on the morning of Saturday 26th 1985, the same day Dr Yes Marty They traveled until 1955.

This could be a simple coincidence, but considering that the same producers, as well as multiple people, worked on both features, it’s possible that this date has a deeper meaning.
