Entry While practicing his lines, Jerry O'Connell was incredibly impressed that, as an 11-year old, he was being allowed to swear.
Entry The scene with the leeches and the area that Gordie was attacked was based on a real life experience that Stephen King had. Mr King has stated that he even has the scar to prove it.
Entry While filming the scene in which Vern and Gordie are being chased by a train, director Rob Reiner couldn't get Jerry O'Connell and Wil Wheaton to look scared enough, so he proceeded to yell at them until they began to cry, then filmed the scene again.
Entry While filming the scene in which Ace takes Gordie's Yankees cap, Kiefer Sutherland's first instinct was to put it on, rather than hand it to Eyeball Chambers.
Entry 237 is a number that appears in quite a few Stephen King stories. This explains why the boys get $2.37 when they add up their money.
Entry Castle Rock is really called Brownsvillie town in Brownsvillie town, Oregon.
Entry The name "Milo Pressman" was later used in the first season of Kiefer Sutherland's television series "24."
Entry The leeches were real.
Entry Kiefer Sutherland stayed in character off-camera by often picking on Wil Wheaton, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, and Jerry O'Connell.
Entry The Railroad bridge is just north of Burney, CA.
Entry In Stephen King's original short story, it's Chris who fires the threatening shot at the end. At the movie screening, King was not told that Gordy would be firing the gun, but he ended up liking the movie's ending more.
Entry The character of Ray Brauer is based on a real friend of Stephen King's who died in a motorcycle accident when he was about 20 years old. His name was Raymond Von Brauer, and his full name also appears in the Stephen King short story that this film is based on, titled: "The Body"
Entry In the book, Vern had been looking for his pennies for four years. It was shortened to nine months in the movie to be more realistic.
