"Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold." Fun Fact: In the poster for the film, the Greasers are shown laughing as Johnny is smirking. This was a candid shot, taken during the photo session in which the actors were supposed to look tough at the camera. What happened was that Ralph Macchio quipped "Hey, Leif, that's for the talent." when Leif Garrett went to the table. This comment cracked up the cast and the photo was used. Authentic Battle Damage Fact: In the rumble scene, the first punch is given to Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell). Howell recalls that the hit was real and it knocked him out cold on-set. Breaking Character Fact: When Dallas (Matt Dillon) falls out of his chair at the drive-in, it was completely accidental, and Ponyboy (C. Thomas Howell) looks briefly at the camera while laughing. Historical Fact: In the scene where Dallas (Matt Dillon) argues with a nurse in the hospital about the whereabouts of his hospital gown, the nurse is played by S.E. Hinton. Hinton began writing the novel that the film is based on when she was only fifteen years old, finished it when she was sixteen, and the book was published when she was seventeen. During filming, Rob Lowe asked S.E. Hinton what happens to Sodapop Curtis. Hinton responded that Sodapop was drafted to Vietnam and died there. The Outsiders House Museum opened in Tulsa, Oklahoma, on August 9th, 2019.

It’s incredible looking at this cast which all broke out to varying levels of success. Swayze, Cruise, Rob Lowe, Diane Lane, Ralph Macchio, Matt Dillon, Emilio Estevez, C Thomas Howell…wow.

Saw this in the theaters. You could not come up with a cast like this ever again.

I’m 51. I live in the country just outside Tulsa & lived in Tulsa through 5th grade. In 6th grade we moved to a smaller town nearby. I saw my first Drive-in movie when I was seven years old at the very drive-in in the movie & have lived in two small towns they filmed in, in addition to Tulsa. It was a big deal my 6th grade year when the movie came out. We read the book in reading class and then got the “high tech” VHS cart 😂 rolled into class to watch the movie afterwards. We were all very proud of the whole thing and thought we’d really been put on the map. You’ll still here some of us old fogies say “Stay Golden, Ponyboy, stay golden.” 😢

Older movies are greater than the new ones!

The Outsiders! One of my favorite films growing up in the 80's. Fell in love with the book before the movie just like I did with, Rumble Fish. I don't think that I've watched The Outsiders since the late 90's. What an all star caste!

This movie is a classic! I taught the book and showed the movie to one of my classes as a student teacher.

S E wrote several excellent books of this type. She did a great job seeing life through the eyes of a teen male. She slipped a few times with having the characters give female responses. Very few though. edit That Was Then, This Is Now and Tex were also adapted to movies. 3 good movies that were the same as the book. (which is rare) I have to admit, That Was Then, This Is Now kind of pissed me off how it ended. I didn't see the hero she implied. To each his own.

Turned 40 years old, this past weekend. The first Coppola film I had ever seen in my life. Acknowledging this perfect assembly of young actors for it's time. Sure you have many films with great casts. But this one for me was the 'creme de la creme'. The story strikes such a nerve for young men growing up in insurmountable odds. I saw this when I was 3 years old and it's understanding never left me since. Brotherhood with your peers (blood or not) means everything. Btw, I also saw the television series that aired on fox in the 1990s. It was a continuation of the movie and lasted 13 episodes.

I am 37 years old, when I was in 7th Grade/School we had an Assignment in one Class to read this Book then we watched the Movie after writing a Paper about the Book. COOL MOVIE COOL BOOK! WATCHING YOUR REACTIONS!

This is one of my favorite movies. Of course I waited til after I finished reading the book

I remember reading the book in school! And you're a great reactor! I love your reactions so please don't quit.

The Lords of Flatbush (1974) is another great movie set in the 1950's. It stars Rocky Balboa and The Fonz

When Dallas gets shot at the end the music and acting etc was pretty emotional well done, Matt Dillon at his best back then , Rumble Fish another book and film with some of the same cast is excellent! Like looking at some kind of art piece, Mickey Rourke also stars, thanks Showdown!

Stay gold Showdown! I love the book (and the work of S.E Hinton in general), and this is a wonderful adaptation with an amazing cast of young faces.

One of the best movies ever! Legendary cast! Ralph Macchio is soooo good in this movie! They all are.

The books are teenage angst mandatory reading. 4 movies were made from the authors books: The Outsiders, Tex, That was Then This is Now and Rumble Fish. Matt Dillon was in 3 of them. I was 12 when this movie came out so it effected me deeply.

The Outsiders is my second favorite movie and my favorite book of all time. Every young person should read or see the Outsiders(This is actually 7th grade and 9th grade reading here in Florida in the 80's & 90's)...the t.v. show wasn't popular, but I liked it(it is set the Summer after Dally's death and we get to see how all the characters are doing. RUMBLE FISH is the sequel to the OUTSIDERS and it's also in book and movie format.

It's a tale that transcends time, color and creed. Young youth going through hardships in life. I went through a very hard home situation and this movie helped reinforce you aren't just where you came from. You can make your own destiny. Stay golden Ponyboy!!

The way I alr knew shit was gonna go DOWN when he got later into the movie-

Used to be obsessed with this movie and book as a 14 year old (we read it in reading class) I had a greaser phase where I’d always ask my mom for pomade and I’d slick my hair back and would wear a leather jacket and Levi jeans and boots, even if it was 90 degrees out haha. Those were the good old days.

One of my mothers favorite movies. Miss you mom.

Man you are too cool for school reacting to this gem. So many great films most movie reaction channels ignore to their own detriment.

My son is reading this book for an English class and I decided to read it too. Pretty good book.

In the scene towards the end when dally is running from the law and talking on the pay phone look close to the right of dally while he’s talking and you can see the name Johnny written on the inside of the pay phone. Loved this movie since in came out. That’s for this

Never realized the store clerk was Jack Wilson in Any Which Way You Can.

Employee Of The Month starring Matt Dillon is a great flick.

One of my favorites from my teenage years... But I never even knew that this ending existed. That must have been some director cut version. The version I remember ended with the death of Dally and Pony boy's narration. Thanks for turning me onto this, I've got to check it out.

Great reaction. I haven't even thought about this movie in 40 years. I saw it on the old Preview pay tv service back in 83/84.

This and Red Dawn. 80s boyhood inspirational classics. Appreciate the William Smith shoutout.Yeah,he'd kick all their asses.

Yo that was a butterfly knife, not a switch 👍🏼

Classics baby, I havent been watching you as much lately so thank you for The Outsiders

I had no idea Flea and Cam Neely were in this flick until today! 🤯🤯🤯 Great reaction, as always. Cheers.

This reaction itself was absolutely gold. Loved this video!! P.S. Love the thumbnail LOL

I love your reactions so much!! I remember I was 11 years old seeing this in the movies, I thought it was absolutely fabulous. Rest in peace Patrick Swayze 😢

This was the directors cut. The original version is better imo. This directors cut added way too much music. Especially d

for what its worth. I enjoy your reactions, I know you put a lot of work into them. Keep on grinding, my dude. Hopefully, your hard work pays off with some channel growth.

Awesome

Great reaction! Loved this movie growing up. My sister and I cheered when Matt Dillon showed up at the rumble.

The book was required reading in 10th grade. 1985

i love your reactions you make me laugh so much lmaoo😭

I just rewatched this on Saturday 😄 Damn this film is so nostalgic for me. I prefer the theatrical cut but it does some some deleted scenes that explain a couple details. Guess it never bothered me cause I read the book as a kid. But, yeah, this is a classic

Awesome review, this version had a lot of scenes that I’ve never seen before

Who needs the Avengers when you have The Outsiders? This cast is a force to be reckoned with!

After checking out 3 or 4 of your vids you've grown on me like a wart so I subbed your channel 😀. Look up a show called The Beast with Patrick Swayze and Travis Fimmel. It was just getting really good when Swayze got sick unfortunately.

I believe when S.E. Hinton wrote this book she was still in High School!

Gawtdaam! Don't sleep on popcorn reactions! Mixing, editing, soundtrack 💪🍻👊 that opening scene 😂pony boy tough to chew! Them boys tried to pull them fools out tha car!! Matt Dillon the big homie! That Emilio estevez bout that life! Breaking a bottle handing it to pony boy n pull out a blade!!! He want all tha smoke!!! 😂 10 k subs by next month! 🤙💪👊🍻💯

Love your reaction to this movie. Yeah these boys get put through the wringer! Read the book and loved the movie! Haven't seen it in over 10 years!!

I think it may take a while for people to watch some of your newer movies if they haven’t seen them yet. I just saw your Megan review because I wanted to wait to see the actual movie first and it took a while for it to stream on peacock. Love your reactions!

William Smith behind the counter. Check him out in The Ultimate Warrior with Yul Brynner

Yeah man I really enjoy your channel. Your content is Great you are very Engaging I don't know why the channel is not growing. The only thing that I can possibly think of is The swearing. I've noticed a lot of other reaction channels Having to Bleep themselves out And bleep out movie swearing. Could possibly be the reason why the algorithms off I don't know But I'm still rooting for you

This version is the novel version. The other version is the theater version. This version shows how good of a friendship between Ponyboy and Johnny friendship a lot more then the theater version. What I liked about this version. But the music they used in the novel version is a lot different. The theater version the musical score is great it adds more emotion, when they do the rumble scene the music is way better. It is more intense goes with the movie. The music when the rumble scene in novel version just doesn't go with the film it is surfer music. You should just watch the rumble scene from the theater version I think you would like that one.

A wonderful movie and excellent book ❤

One of my favorite movies

Emilio Estevez's laugh could cure cancer.

was one 1st movies I saw in the theater my brother took me to see this when I was like 5

Internal Affairs (1990) Richard Gere

I remember this. Good pick Showdown 👍

I wanted to be like them when i was younger

Lol "Patrick Swayze been whipping your ass the whole fight! " Lol. It's true though!

Great movie great reaction, dally was a badass he had that total pac vibe live fast Die Young

17:34 Hahaha, this dude walking up like a country club Deebo

this movie showcased class warfare...not racial...ahead of its time!

You ARE a fantastic reactor, I just don't have much interest in most of the new films coming out. I love your reactions to the classics and horror, my favorite genre 😁

Great movie gets better with age! Hopefully you’ll check out Rumble Fish next! Thanks Showdown!

👍👍👍👍👍👍 yes

Pretty decent film always liked it as a kid and adult.

Bruh we read the book and watched this in 7th grade lol this shit was so 🔥 I still be talking about it

Good book, good movie, great reaction 🔥🔥

bro i i love you i love this movie

I read the novel for my English class in middle school ❤

We just watched Beat Street. I'm old lol

Do you remember William Smith as a part Indian, Texas Ranger, in the TV show "Laredo"? In the 60's and 70's the Drive-In was still using the old, big ass speaker's you had to hang off your window. After a while you even know which ones didn't work right, or at all, and park at a good one. Then you had the moron's who would just drive away with the speaker and cord still on the window. That would be me! In the summer we used to lay on the hood, with your back on the windshield, and just enjoy the experience. Current culture doesn't know shit about what a good time is, and there's no turning back the clock. Ask any "millennial" what happened on December 7th, 1941, or on June 6th, 1944. All you'll get is a blank stare!! I'm so glad I'm old, and out of here soon...

You're a GREAT reactor! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Let's face it, no one is watching the new movies because the new movies SUCK! But you know this man.

Love this movie

Kurt Cobain and Daniel San on the run lol

Another good old fashioned gang movie is The Wanderers.

Hey hey Mr. Popcorn, if you haven't already seen it, definitely check out 'The Warriors'. It's a little cheesy, but it'd a great classic movie from '79. It's got a little bit of fun for everybody.

Miyagi didnt teach daniel son nothing

Awesome - I loved the book. watch the sequel to this move: Red Dawn!

😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤

hi

Is this the directors cut? I never say a lit of these scenes

75% of the music and score is dif from the original . the corny generic 50s guitar score especially during dramatic scenes like Johnny killing the soc or Dallas dying makes this version almost unwatchable except the deleted and extended scenes here are kinda nice A few years later there was another really good s.e. Hinton adaptation directed by Francis ford coppola again called Rumblefish . Matt Dillon , Diane lane , Mickey rourke , Dennis Hopper , nic cage , Chris Penn , Lawrence fishburne , soundtrack by the drummer of the police

Stay gold Pony Boy! 🤘🌎❤

You said he look like karate kid but he does cause its the same actor lol😂

😮😮😮😮😮

Stay golden pony boy

Stay Gold Pony Boy…..stay gold 😑

You’re great at noting all of the famous actors in this movie. Did you miss Tom Cruise or did I miss you pointing him out?❤️

Popcorn: I know who that is (convenience store guy) How the hell did you know that the convenience store guy was Conan the Barbarian's dad?! And all these other people... how do you recognize all these people, even when they're in totally obscure roles?

It's weird seeing people react to this version of the movie. I'm so used to the original version so I'm not really sure how I feel about it. The music is very different throughout and more scenes are added that weren't there when I saw this many, many times as a kid. I honestly prefer the original version. Just sayin'

The Outsiders vs The Warriors. Who you putting your money on.

A lot of the music in this version doesn't fit the movie at all. I wish someone would stop FFC from changing all his movies.

new shit sucks...80's the best for movies and music...but I'm admittedly bias

best movie!!

Yo Showdown! Rumblefish up next?

yes!!!!
