- Salary:
Conspiracy Theory (1997) $5,000,000 Assassins (1995) $12,000,000 Radio Flyer (1992) $5,000,000 Superman (1978) $1,000,000 (edit) - Richard has a preference for using long shots of characters in films, rather than close-ups as most directors do.(edit)
- Richard's movie Radio Flyer (1992), a fantasy film which features an abused boy building a flying wagon to escape his abusive stepfather, flopped because of the critical response to it, saying that the boy's escape implied he committed suicide, something Richard denies.(edit)
- Richard's cast and crew on The Goonies (1985) played a practical joke on him. They all acted very indifferent and detached towards him during the last week of filming, and after filming, Richard was sidelined from going home by an over-talkative neighbor for most of the day. When he finally got there, the cast and crew greeted him with a surprise party with Steven Spielberg, the producer, present.(edit)
- Richard has several souvenirs from his directing The Goonies (1985) including a model of the pirate ship and One-Eyed Willie's head.(edit)
