Trivia
One of the most notable changes between Chris Columbus' original story and the screenplay is the absence of Chester Copperpot. In the original, Mikey is the one who finds the treasure map and his older brothers ridicule him for it. The role of Chester Copperpot was created to give a reason for that scene in the movie.
When Chunk goes into the freezer to get some ice cream, he says "Gimme some of that Clam Digger" which was a rejected name for Rocky Road.
The crowd in the stands during the baseball sequence are actual past and present members of the production crew at Spielberg's insistence.
When "Sloth" punches Chunk, his face is actually an Italian extra's face. It was necessary for the shot to be done only once, so Chunk just stayed there and licked his lip.
The tracking device on Data's neck was inspired by the film "Blade Runner" (1982).
There are two notable cameos in this film: Zelda Rubinstein appears as Grandma Tessie, and Marion Ross appears as the mum of Stef

Chester Copperpot is a legendary pirate who was feared by the British Navy and the New England colonies. He got his name based on his copper pot helmet, which he would cook food with over a fire.
He came from Boston, Massachusetts where he found a treasure map on a turtle. Everyone thought it was fake but Chester believed After a couple of months, he got a crew and set out to find it. It was believed to be on an island far north of Boston.
While they were looking for the treasure, they came across British ships and destroyed them. Then they went up into Canada and fought with some French people who thought that Britain didn't own that land yet. After a while of sailing around, they went to a random island and found some people who said they were searching for the same treasure.
The two crews ended up joining forces and going together to find it. After a few months at sea, they finally got there only to be captured by British sailors They were taken back to Britain on one of their ships and put in jail for over a month
Once they got out, Chester Copperpot and his crew raided British ships. They raided so many that the British Navy couldn't handle it anymore so they decided to send some people after them. They weren't able to find them but while patrolling around Boston Harbour, they found an old abandoned ship with lots of holes in it.
Since the ship was in bad shape, they took their best ship and sent some men to go after Chester Copperpot and his crew. After a few hours at sea, they found them raiding another British ship. The navy tried to capture them but when one of their men came too close, he was grabbed by two pirates who pulled him into their boat. After a short fight, they surrendered and came on board the navy's ship. They were taken to Britain where they were put in jail.
