Line 25:
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: Literally. The handgun that Chris shows Gordie before the boys start their trip is forgotten until {{spoiler|Ace and his gang show up and Gordie(movie)/Chris(book) uses it to scare them off}}.
** Not quite. The kids each brandish the pistol when they take turns keeping watch at night.
* [[Dawson Casting]]: Averted. All the boys are the same age as Their characters or at least very close (River Phoenix was fifteen but looked younger) as were the older boys.
* [[Dies Wide Open]]: The late Ray Brower is found by the boys this way. They cover his face with debris.
* [[Dysfunction Junction]]: This film cracks the mask of the seemingly picture-perfect and wholesome [[Everytown, America]] of the 1950s open with a baseball bat.
