The very first scene in the film is of an old-school TV playing an ad for the 1986 event Hands Across America. Next to the TV are a few shelves holding VHS tapes, and The Goonies is one of them. On top of that, a monologue at the end of the film by Red, Adelaide's evil doppelganger, includes the phrase "It's our time," which is a reference to Mikey's (Sean Astin) wistful speech in the 1985 film.
