I'll use the script (fourth draft) to explain. We first encounter the gorillas during the police chase from the beginning of the movie:

Later on in the story, sometime after the scene at the wishing well...
The two photos are from the end of the movie, and seem to be a part of the never released alternate ending.

Wow! This is good stuff, I'm a huge Goonie fan but I've never seen this stuff! Thank you so much for sharing!!
