What's left behind the scenes

  • The film is based on Stephen King's novella "The Body" (1982).
  • At the insistence of fanatical anti-smoking advocate Rob Reiner, the boys' cigarettes contained cabbage leaves instead of tobacco.
  • Adrian Lyne was originally supposed to direct the film, but because he was unable to finish "9 1/2 Weeks," he was forced to hand the project over to Rob Reiner.
  • The pond the boys fall into was actually a swimming pool; the film crew didn't want to send the boys into a real pond where goodness knows what might be found.
  • The scene where Wil Wheaton and Jerry O'Connell run towards the camera while being chased by a train was filmed on an overpass using a telephoto lens.
  • Corey Feldman and director Rob Reiner went through 30 different laugh tracks before choosing the one used for Teddy, who was played by Corey.
  • River Phoenix auditioned for the role of Gordie Lachance, but director Rob Reiner decided he was better suited for the role of Chris.
  • The novella and the film are set in Castle Rock, Maine and Oregon, respectively. The same name is used by Rob Reiner's company.
  • The boys pool their money and it turns out they have a total of $2.37. The number 237 appears repeatedly in Stephen King's works.
  • The train scene took a whole week to film. Stunt performers of short stature and female gender with short haircuts were used in the filming. For safety reasons, the viaduct was covered with sheets of plywood.
  • Despite numerous rumors to the contrary, the leeches were not real. They were held on with rubber glue mixed with something pink, which was meant to look like blood, and they were very irritating to the skin. After filming, the boys weren't even allowed to go to the public pool because the marks from the leeches looked like a skin disease.
  • Initially, David Dukes was cast as the narrator. Some scenes were filmed with his participation, after which they were reshot with Richard Dreyfuss. But in the first scene, where the character is shown in a car in a long shot, Dukes remained.
  • Corey Haim (1971-2010) auditioned for the role of Gordie, but the studio offered him the role of Chris. In the end, Corey turned down the role to star in David Zelcer's film "Lucas" (1986). The role of Teddy was played by Corey Haim's friend, Corey Feldman.
  • Kiefer Sutherland's character drives a 1950 Ford.
  • During the filming of a particular scene, one of the extras, a child, actually vomited. A mixture of cottage cheese and blueberries was used as the vomit.
  • The scene where Gordie and Vern almost get hit by a train was difficult to film because Wil Wheaton and Jerry O’Connell didn’t look scared enough. Eventually, the director yelled at them until they cried, after which they were able to perform the scene convincingly.
  • The main actors weren’t shown Ray Brower’s body until the very last moment to capture their genuine reaction.
  • Adrian Lyne was supposed to direct the film, but because he was unable to finish "9 1/2 Weeks," he was forced to hand the project over to Rob Reiner.
  • The scene where Gordie and Vern almost get hit by a train was impossible to film because Wil Wheaton and Jerry O’Connell didn’t look scared enough. It ended with the director yelling at them and continuing to yell until they cried, after which they were able to play the scene convincingly.
