Mistakes
When the four are deciding whether to cross the swamp, Chris pulls off a nearby tree branch to test the deepness. First the branch is quite flimsy and has two ends like a "Y" shape, and then after Chris pokes it into the marsh it becomes thicker with no split end. See more...

The "questions" section is for any random questions that occurred to you while watching this film, or anything you didn't entirely understand, and which Google or the IMDb can't help with. Submit them as a question, and hopefully someone will answer (the bold comments in brackets) - check back regularly. If the answer is wrong, or missing information, please use the "clarify answer" option. Don't feel limited - want to know what music played in a certain scene? Whether this was the first film to use a certain effect? Here's the place to ask!
It's established that the vast majority of the movie takes place in 1959. But what year do the present day scenes take place in, when Gordie is an adult? [It isn't specficially stated, though it I'd presume it to be 1986, the year the film was released. Since Gordie was "12 going on 13" in 1959 (therefore born 1946/47) and assuming it is set in 1986, it makes Gordie about 40, which roughly looks about right physically.]
Why would they use real leeches? Isn't that a danger to the actors? [Leeches are not dangerous, just disgusting. While fairly easy to remove, leeches will fall off by themselves when they are full. They are not known to transmit any diseases though the wound can get infected just as any other scratch might.]
What game are they playing at the beginning of the film in the treehouse? [Its a game called three-penny-scat. I'm not 100% on the rules, but I think you get three cards, take the value of them (Royalty =10) and whoever gets closest to thirty wins. According to the book, it's one of the most boring games invented but "it was too hot to think about anything more complicated".]
