The scene in Out of Sight where Jack and Buddy finally make it to Detroit and meet up again with Glenn and Maurice (my all-time favorite Don Cheadle performance) was filmed at the legendary Kronk boxing gym. For the shoot, they moved the training facility upstairs from the windowless basement.
Thomas Hearns, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis and many other world champs all trained here at one time. It's been closed since 2006.

This Goonies film location is where Chunk sees the Fratelli's truck chased by police cars, smears his pizza on the window, and shoots the milkshake on his face.
The place has been remodeled, but the view from the window is the same.
flavel house

This Goonies film location is known as The Flavel House, and is also the site of the Clatsop County Historical Society.
This is where Mikey's dad is working the flag pole as the Goonies cruise by on their bikes, and they say hello to each other.
The Goonies was released on June 9, 1985, and made $9,105,913 its first weekend.
timberline lodge

The Timberline Lodge is a ski lodge in the Mt. Hood National Forest.
It is also the exterior filming location for The Shining- the 1980 psychological horror-thriller directed by Stanley Kubrick, written by Stephen King, and starring Jack Nicholson.
This is where all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
manitoba royal theater
from keanu reeves posted in movies by elvis_crabs
The Reeve-ster (or K-Pax, or K-Wood) played Hamlet at this theater in 1995. It was something of a cultural event for Winnipeg, and the show sold-out every night. The city set up a Keanu hotline where they could call with sightings of the actor.
Most people thought he would be horrible, yet he received positive (if not glowing) praise for arguably one of the toughest acting roles.
Well done, K-Swiss.
