I loved the movie Short Circuit. It was filmed here in Oregon in various locations, but mostly in Astoria, OR (the same place Goonies, Kidnergarden Cop, and a few other films were made).

For it’s 40th anniversary during the Astoria Film Celebration, June 5-7, 2026 there will be Cast & Crew appearances, Panel Talks, Licensed Merchandise, Film Screenings, Workshops, Trivia, an 80’s Prom and more across multiple venues.

If you’re feeling the urge, you can Airbnb Stephanie Speck’s house, visit the Goonies home, and learn all about the filming locations at the Oregon Film Museum.
