Stand By Me (1986)

Corrected entry: When Gordie accidentally shoots the garbage cans and he and Chris run away, they are well out of sight before the waitress comes outside. In the next shot Gordie says, "That Tupper babe saw me." First, how does he know who she is, and second, why does he think she's seen him if they were well around the corner?

Correction: He knows who she is because they live in a small town, where most people know each other by sight. And she did not necessarily see him, but Gordie is slightly panicky at this point and deathly afraid that she saw him with the gun, so he is just expressing his fear.

Stand By Me (1986)

Corrected entry: How does Gordie know what Billy, Charlie and everyone else was doing while he was walking down the railroad? He wasn't there, and I doubt people he hates would just tell him.

Correction: As seen in the end, it is an older Gordie who writes the story. Some things, like the mailbox-baseball, he could have heard about from other residents in Castle Rock, and the rest is him taking some artistic license with what Ace and co. were doing.
