Directed by: Rob Reiner
Starring: Kiefer Sutherland, Richard Dreyfuss, Jerry O'Connell, River Phoenix, Corey Feldman, Wil Wheaton, Gary Riley
Revealing mistake: During the Barf-O-Rama scene, look and you can see that everyone is puking the same thing. No one in the crowd was in the contest.
Suggested correction: This scene is part of a fictional story being told by one of the characters; since everything depicted is taking place within the characters' imaginations, this is not a mistake.
Continuity mistake: When the boys are dunking each other in the swamp Gordie starts to wade away, when he passes the camera his hair is dry but when he reaches the bank it's wet again. (01:04:56)
Trivia: During the production of Stand By Me, director Rob Reiner did not want the film to be called The Body (the same name of the short story by Stephen King). He believed that if he did, people would confuse it with a documentary on body building, a porno film or another Stephen King horror novel. It was changed to Stand By Me because while thinking of a title, it was considered to be the least unpopular name.
Question: What are the sound effects to produce the "strange in scary sound" in Lardass' stomach before he pukes for the first time?
Answer: A cello.
