Mistakes

When Dally falls off of his chair in the drive-in movie theater, you can hear Ponyboy's laughter above them all. When the shot changes to Cherry, you can see Ponyboy with a serious face on in the background but you can still hear him laughing. See more...

Trivia

When Dally, Ponyboy and Johnny are in the car in the Dairy Queen parking lot, a little girl comes up to them and asks for some change. That is a young Sofia Coppola, daughter of Francis Ford Coppola, who is now also a notable movie director. See more...

When Johnny kills the Soc, as Ponyboy wakes up and looks at Johnny, who is mumbling "I killed him..." you see Johnny holding his switchblade which is retracted. As they cut away to a different camera angle, the blade is out with blood on it. [The blade is extended not retracted, it's just hard to see.]
Edit
In the scene where Steve hands Ponyboy the newspaper with the article of them after the fire, you see the three boys' pictures. The newspaper couldn't have had these pictures, because Ponyboy appeared in the picture as clean and blonde. Johnny appears clean and unburnt. Even if they did take them at the hospital, Ponyboy would be dirty because he never cleaned his face, and Johnny would be severely burnt (as there were even burns on his neck) and certainly wouldn't be wearing his jean jacket. And Dallas was fully clothed in the picture, even though he wasn't whenever they pulled him in: he had no clothes on, and who would get dressed for a picture? [They were obviously older pictures...probably from school.]

In the scene when Johnny has just returned to the church with the groceries, he sets the box on the table and it makes a loud "THUNK". Immediately after that, he sets a loaf of bread on the table and it makes the same sound. If they had tried to eat that it would have broken their teeth. [What you're hearing is the cans inside the bag falling over after he pulls the bread out.]

In the Scene where Johnny and Ponyboy are at the park and Bob Sheldon (the soc with the rings) throws whatever liquor he was drinking in Ponyboy's face in the next shot that we see of Pony boy he is perfectly dry and he didn't wipe himself off. [The guy never really threw it on his face because he was too drunk to have a good aim and if you look close enough you can see it hit his armpit instead.]
Edit
When Ponyboy is in the park with Johnny and they are going to sleep, you see something that looks like a mole on Ponyboy's neck; but sometimes it's there, and sometimes it's not. [It is always there. It is just hard to see sometimes because it is in the back of his chin, and you can't see it that well when he is standing up.]
Edit
When the boys arrive at the church fire, Johnny opens his door on the passenger side of the convertible twice. [No, he only opens it once.]
Edit
At the Curtis' house (Sodapop, Darry, and Ponyboy), every time the gate to the fence opens, a dog down the street barked as if on cue. The dog wouldn't bark until the gate opened, and stopped barking as soon as it closed. [The dog doesn't bark on cue. Sometimes when it shows the gate of the boys house, the dog randomly barks, but definitely not on cue.]
Edit
Diane Lane played Matt Dillon's girlfriend in three films: Rumble Fish, The Outsiders, and The Big Town. [Diane Lane was not Matt Dillon's girlfriend in 'The Outsiders'.]
Edit
In the scene after Ponyboy returns home, the gang of guys is hanging around in the house eating chocolate cake and beer. When Emilio Estevez sits down and begins to watch Mickey Mouse, the show is in color. A desperately poor family in the 1960s would never have a color television. [The house and all of the belongings were their parents'.]
Edit Corrected by William Bergquist
When Cherry is moving around at the drive-in after she throws the Coke in Dally's face, you can tell she is wearing a wig. This shows because of the exposed wig cap at her forehead. [Sorry, I watched that movie three times and I couldn't see any wig cap.]
Edit
In the scene where they have the big rumble, the two gangs are fighting, and when it begins to rain the ground gets very muddy, and everyone is covered in mud, but there is one kid that goes to run away with completely clean white pants. [The reason the one kid has completely white pants, is he's the 'toughest' of the rich kids. It's intended to show that he wasnt knocked down into the mud, until the very end of the fight, when Daryl knocks him down, and he does get mud into his clothes then, just not on his backside.]
