Today (on the 7th June 1985) one of my all time favourite 80s kids adventure films was first released. Why is it one of my favourites?  Well.... 80’s bad guys Pirates, adventure, BMX’s, laughs or for a start plus it was a story that seemed totally possible when I was a kid.

After seeming this film I’d raid my Gran’s attic desperately searching for a secret hidden clue that would lead my friends and I on an amazing adventure just like the one in The Goonies.  By the way 28 years later, nothing has changed. So with that in mind why don’t I share some hidden gems with you. Here’s five thing you may not have known about this timeless 80’s Pirate adventure flick. Enjoy!

1) Willy’s Secret Pirate Ship

One-Eyed Willie’s pirate ship was a real set that was built to look like Errol Flynn’s ship in The Sea Hawk. While it was being constructed, the kids were not allowed to see it; the ship was hidden on another set behind tarps. Donner was hoping to get a real reaction from the cast for their first take seeing Willie’s ship, but when he rolled the camera and revealed it, the whole gang was so shocked by the sight that they started cursing up a storm, and the scene had to be re-shot. Once production wrapped, the crew tried to find someone who would take the ship, but no one wanted it, and the entire set was scrapped.

2) Sloth wasn’t so Super

We recently ran a literature themed Friday Competition on our Facebookpage to celebrate the arrival of our new Out Of Print T-Shirtsand the response we got was amazing. The question was....

‘If you could create a film from any book that hasn't already had one made, what would it be and WHY?'

We had hundreds of suggestions: some old, some new and some a little strange – The Dictionary and The Phone Book?!! Us bookworms couldn't let this fantastic opportunity go to waste and so we decided to create our very own TruffleShuffle Reading List and thought we would share it with you.

We have something for everyone – funny, sad, horror, thriller, fairy-tale; sadly, we couldn't list them all but there were some firm favourites suggested numerous times and some great write ups, see if any take your fancy!

See if yours made the must read list and see what others have to suggest, our Kindles are now fully loaded with literary delights! :-)

With 9 mentions the book that came out top (and we can't believe we haven't read!) is:

Superheroes, believe it or not don't get their special powers from wearing TruffleShuffle Superhero T-Shirts. Most get their powers in some unlikely ways. Peter Parker, was changed into Spider Man by the bite of a radioactive spider. Bruce Banner became the hulk after standing too close to a nuclear explosion. Some, get their powers via technology: Iron Man has powered armor & Batman has a host of cool gadgets. Dads have had to learn, improve and hone their very own super powers to deal with all that fatherhood has to throw at them. So, why not treat your very own superhero to one of our specially-picked fathers day gifts?

Is your dad agile, fearless but a bit rash at times? Does he sometimes come across as immature? If you can put this down to a youthful outlook on life he sounds like he may well be your very own personal Peter Parker. We definitely have some fab Spiderman T-Shirts to satisfy your webtastic wannabe!

Purple Ronnie illustrations are immediately recognisable for their fun, sketchy stick-man imagery and have donned many a cheeky greetings card over the years. Giles Andreae was the artist genius behind the funny character designs which have been going strong since 1987. This cool tee pays homage to fatherhood with it's Super Dad design. The perfect Fathers Day gift for your dad this year.
