Richard Donner’s classic swearing-children flick The Goonies turns 25 tomorrow. To commemorate its release, here’s the deleted scene in which Data defeats a giant octopus with an über-modern cassette player. Enjoy.

Note the sheer un-PCness of this scene, as it’s Data who points out that the octopus is “giant sushi.” Also, the song Data tosses in the oversized mollusk’s mouth was The Goon Squad’s “Eight Arms to Hold You,” which was produced for the movie by New Order collaborator Arthur Baker. It’s the perfect song for your Goonies anniversary party. People are holding those, right?
