Re-release
In September 2005, Coppola re-released the film, including 22 minutes of additional footage, entitled The Outsiders: The Complete Novel, reinserting previously deleted scenes that helped bring this new version much closer to the book.
Trivia
- The part where Dally falls out of his chair at the movies was not originally part of the script. If you look closely, you can see C. Thomas Howell looking at the lens expecting Coppola to yell "Cut!"
- The part where Two-Bit picks up the hat was also not in the script (the hat belongs to one of the crew members).
- S.E. Hinton played the nurse in Dally's hospital room.
- Ponyboy never said "hi" to Johnny, for Sodapop's letter.
