[I'd post this to net.pro.wrestling, but I don't know if it exists]
Just saw the video Cindi Lauper did for Donner/Spielburg's GOONIES, which is
much more a Lauper video than a "trailer with music" job for GOONIES. A few
questions:
1) Yes, even I realize most of the men on this show are wrestlers. Can you
identify which ones (this is not a quiz - I dunno).
2) Is that Cindi's ma playing her ma?
3) What's this PART II stuff at the end of the video? Are they showing a
second half later on in the month?
Looks like the movie season is in full media hyperthrust...
"Stephen Spielburg, what do I do NOW?"
"Well, first thing... I don't know."

She has been in all of Cindi's videos, I believe, usually playing her mother (actually, I don't specifically recall her in "She-Bop", but I think I heard Cindi say that this was her mother's fourth video). >3) What's this PART II stuff at the end of the video?

Other trivia: the video was directed by Richard Donner, who also directed the film. I think that it was incredibly clever, and I can't wait to see how she gets out of the jam. It's probably alot better than the actual movie. -- Barry Margolin ARPA: barmar@MIT-Multics UUCP: ..!genrad!mit-eddie!barmar

Hulk Hogan(?) is one of the other wrestlers? I think I got that right. Anyway, even if the name is wrong, it is interesting to note that the wrestler I am thinking of (the first one out of the car wearing the kilt) is always fighting with Cyndi and group. Just goes to show how much of a put-on wrestling really is. -- |------------| | |-------| o| JVC HRD725U Mr. Video | | | o| |--------------| | | | | | |----| o o o | | |-------| O| |--------------| |------------| VHS Hi-Fi (the only way to go) ({!seismo,!ihnp4}!uwvax!astroatc!nicmad!brown)

> > 1) Yes, even I realize most of the men on this show are wrestlers. Can you > identify which ones (this is not a quiz - I dunno). > As long as you are going to name them, you might as well name them all.. Let's see There is: "Rowdy" Roddy Piper - Wearing Tux and ridding in limo; He says: "Why don't you take your face inside and make a suitcase?" Captain Lou Albano - Fat slop with rubber bands attached to face. Look for him in the new movie "Wise Guys" with Danny DeVito this summer. He actually look quasi-normal with a decent haircut and no rubber bands. The Iron Sheik - He looks like a sheik. Nikolai Volkov - Milking cow in back of truck. Have you ever heard this guy sing? Your lucky if you haven't. "Classy" Freddie Blassy - The older guy. Also know as the fashion plate of wrestling. A former bad guy. The "Fabulous" Moola - Driving truck Wendy Richter - Cooking something. She fought Moola in real life. In fact, most of those guys have fought each other at some time or other. She is managed by Cyndi Lauper. Jesse "The Body" Ventura - Fixing the truck, wearing sunglasses. I think that is who this is. Any that strange guy in the picture on the wall (that covers the opening to the cave), with the eyepatch and the startled look on his face is also a wrestler. I believe this is one of the "Moondogs", either Rex or Spot, I dunno because they both look the same. Can someone help me out here? Did I miss anyone? Steve Rosen rosen@gypsy

Well, the guy in the kilt is Roddy Piper. Hulk Hogan is the blond wrestler.

About the wrestlers: I seem to recall that there were more than two, but the two most important were the bad guy tag team of Andrei Volkoff and the Iron Sheikh. As I recall, these two used to be managed by Captain Lou Albano, but he is now being transformed into a good guy, so someone else manages them now. The important thing to know about this team is that every time they get into the ring, they carry flags of Iran and the Soviet Union, and Volkoff takes the microphone to sing the Soviet national anthem. . . Don't even THINK of asking how I know all this! Robert Goldman MultiMate Int'l. These opinions are entirely my own, and do not represent the opinions of MultiMate International Corp., which probably couldn't tell a good-guy wrestler from a bad one. . .

The one with the kilts is Rowdy Roddy Piper. Watch a new offering next fall about wrestling. It will replace SNL once a month on NBC. You will laugh yourself silly. It will be the greatest puton since socks. They had the first one (pilot) last month and it was nutso. T. C. Wheeler

I haven't seen it but if there's a guy with a kilt on, it's gotta be Rowdy Piper. Whatever happened to the good old days with Bobo Brazil, The Sheik and the Executioner?

As for other "Bad guys" in wrestling that were in there. . . Let see. . . Oh yes, there was the "Iron sheik" and I believe his tag team partner. ok, so I watch a little wrestling. . . :-) I only saw it once, but I kind of wondered about all these people who "hate" each other and yet they are making a video together. . . Money talks, I guess. . . Maybe they needed some "a*holes" in it to make it seem realistic. Maybe they even blew the cover on pro-wrestling. . Hmmmm... The world may never know. ..

The wrestlers in the video: I have only seen the viseo once, and haven't seen wrestling since the Mr T. stuff, but here are the wrestlers that I remember: Rowdy Roddy Piper (kilt); Captain Lou; Iron Sheik (Iranian); Classy Freddy Blassie (sp? gas passer); Wendi Richter (selling cookies); Fabulous Moula (sp? with $$ eyeglasses); The russian tag team champ (don't know his name); Her mother was in the video along with her manager (David Wolf?). Her buddy, Hulk Hogan wasn't in the video though.
