As Sloth in
Les Goonies (1985), his make-up took five hours to
complete. One of the eyes (which was out of place on the face) was
mechanically operated off-screen by remote control. He had to time his
blinking to match the blinks of the robotic eye. A crew-member would
countdown from three, two, one and tell him to blink. The cast was told
not to get him wet in scenes outside of the pirate ship, but the kids
inadvertently did so, holding up filming for an entire day. In the
scene where Chunk and Sloth head down through the grate to follow the
gang and the Fratelli's, you can see that Sloth is wearing an Oakland
Raiders T-Shirt. Matuszak was a former Oakland Raiders football player.
