How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from The Goonies.
Quote #1
MIKEY: He told me that One-eyed Willy and his bunch were down there for five, six years. And they were digging all these tunnels, and caves...setting boody traps...
DATA: Booby traps.
MIKEY: That's what I said. Setting booby traps, so that anybody who tried to get in there would die. And then do you know what he did? He killed all of his men.
This last line certainly seems to support the idea that Willy didn't go to Heaven after he expired. Killed all his men? Yikes. We get being funny about our personal possessions, but know where to draw the line, dude.
But maybe Mikey's able to distinguish between Willy's murderous tendencies and his inventiveness and love of adventure. Mikey can definitely relate to one aspect of Willy's personality and not the other; it's the swashbuckling part that makes him feel a bond with the pirate, and not the friend-killing bit.

FRANCIS: Mom, why'd you have to shoot the guy?
MAM: He's a Fed.
FRANCIS: We could have taken him to the side of the road, in the car, and "bing," we shoot him, in the brain.
Check out how evil the Fratellis are. Even when one of them argues with another about whacking somebody, the argument isn't over whether or not it should have happened, but where and how.
At least the fact that they're all generally on the same page should make for fewer fights at the dinner table. The family that kills together chills together.
Quote #3
TROY'S FRIEND #1: What'd you wish for?
TROY: To make it with Andy.
Let's not leave Troy out of the "evil" equation. This punk nearly kills Brand as a "prank," treats women like sexual objects, and is clearly cut from the same cloth as his father. Even if his actions weren't so bad, we just can't stand that smugness of his. It makes us want to throw him down a well.
Anybody got a penny? We just thought of a wish we want to make…
Quote #4
SLOTH: Ma, you been bad.
There is perhaps no line in the film that better shows the contrast between good and evil than this one.
On one hand, we have one of our heroes coming right out and saying that one of our villains is "bad." And the source is legit, because it comes from someone with a big heart who loves his mother despite all the cruelty she's shown him. Even he recognizes that she shouldn't win Mother of the Year.
Mama Fratelli's villainy is accentuated because she's called out on it by the purest, most genuine character in the bunch. If Mikey or Brand called her "bad" it might be true…but it wouldn't mean as much. But coming from Sloth—well, that's gotta hurt.
Especially after he throws her overboard. Talk about adding injury to insult.
Quote #5
CHUNK: These are the bad guys! Those are the bad guys!
Can't make it much clearer than that. Chunk, worried that the cops are going to mistake Sloth for someone they should use for target practice, tells them in no uncertain terms that, despite his appearance, Sloth is one of the good guys. And those creeps over there—the ones dressed in black and looking generally nasty—are the ones that need to be in cuffs.
