Factual error: When Marty is on the covered bridge, after running from the pastor, he hears a tractor running. He starts yelling for Mr. Zimmerman, who is driving the tractor, and Mr. Zimmerman stops the tractor and walks to the covered bridge. It would have been nearly impossible for Mr. Zimmerman to hear Marty yelling for him over the noise of the tractor.

A smart boy with paralyzed legs and his slightly older smart sister find a werewolf pretending to be their wholesome Reverend in their quaint little town that's feasting on neighborhood "sinners" in Stephen King's Silver Bullet. The Silver Bullet is a supped-up wheelchair. Surprisingly decent movie.

Milt Sturmfuller: Ow! That's it. Oh, that hurts my parts.
Trivia: Gary Busey ad-libbed a majority of his lines. When director Daniel Attias told Stephen King about this, Stephen said he was OK with it.
Question: Why did Marty insist on shooting the firework at the werewolf? It took him far less time to turn the bike round and roar away than it did to light the rocket it and aim it.
Answer: He might have been hoping that the sudden loud bang and/or flame would scare the beast (werewolf) away - most (if not all) wild animals respond to noise and are afraid of fire.
